[HOE] The Librarian's Almanac for September 21st

[Michael Cone <mkcone@yahoo.com>]

A Big Thanks to Brother Dominic for pitching in!

ABERDEEN, OREGON- Brother Filbin, a newly minted
Librarian is reporting a very strange discovery in the
ruins of the abandoned town of Aberdeen. On the
grounds of the old Kurt Cobain memorial museum a very
strange structure has appeared. Four stories tall and
constructed of what appears to be roseate marble, the
“temple” for lack of a better term, is decorated with
three symbols over the font arch: a stylized bolt of
fire, a lightning bolt, and a sword. Brother Filbin
reports that upon entry, a figure in simple robes
appears and asks the entrant if they “bear the mark.”
No one has been able to pass the monk’s examination.

GREAT LIBRARY, SACRAMENTO RUINS- Brother Lawrence has
announced the formation of a new branch of the
Librarians. Called the Protectors Arcane, these new
seekers of knowledge have been tasked with recovering
dangerous occult knowledge that might be left from the
War. The ranking Librarians have assured the residents
of Sacramento that the knowledge will be procured and
then destroyed. Several local Templars have taken a
very watchful stance in light of this latest
announcement.

BIG WATER, UTAH- Cornelius Walsh, a trade baron by way
of Near Tucson is reporting a rampaging creature in
the ruins of the nearby village of Kanab. Walsh has
described the creature as an eight-foot tall auburn
wolf man. The trader escaped with no casualties but
there is a team of scavengers from Junkyard that are
three weeks overdue.

From the Log of the Pacific Explorer- Sonar readings
have uncovered six distinct metallic masses in eleven
feet of water. Divers are preparing for decent.
The Glow has rewarded us. We have recovered three
cases of tinned food. There are other signs that a
vessel sank in the vicinity. Divers will begin a wider
search pattern in the morning.
We have made a new friend today. While scavenging the
coastline, we made the acquaintance of Millard
Findley. Findley had apparently been living in the
area for three years since his boast sank. He claims
that his boat was overrun by mer-creatures that
slaughtered his crew. The Glow tells me not to trust
this man. 
Findley has guided Malcolm and Two-Tone to a small
encampment a few miles from the shore. According to
their reports there is little to salvage. The Captain
shares my opinion that Two-Tone may be holding out
again.
We are en route to New Liberty with Findley on board.
I strongly recommend that he is watched and perhaps
questioned again when we make land.

SCRUB SANDS, KANSAS- Sister Harmony is requesting the
services of anyone skilled with satellite linkage and
digital picture manipulation. There are rumors that
the computer in Kansas has managed to procure a few
images from across the Mississippi but so far, there
is no confirmation.

DARIAN’S VILLAGE, NEW MEXICO- The following report has
been taken by Brother Inkwell from the vagrant
gunperson going by the handle of Nevada Karl:

“I seen it my own self, with all three eyes. We wuz
out campin’ at the park when Beepa started screamin’
about the tower showin’up in the middle of th’ night.
Sure as you ralphin’ after Beepa’s cookin’, there it
is. Damn thing musta been thirty or forty stories up.
Ya can’t miss it! Quint went ta go look cuz he got
them ima-, imagi-, army eyeballs and he says its gots
four door all the way ‘round the bottom. One red, one
blue, one white and th’ other one was brown. Ol’
Napalm got upset when we woke her up talking ‘bout
what to do an’ she fired off onna her “banger
specials” but it didn’t even scratch th’ doors. Quint
says he gonna git onna them Engineers from Apache
Junction to come out and look it up. I think Ol’
Napalm gonna blow it to blazes first.”
