[HOE] The Librarian's Almanac for June 12th

The floating town of Houma in the Greater Louisiana swamp reports several
sightings of a large square sided vessel dredging isolated spots in the
bayou under the cover of darkness and storms. Anyone hailing the vessel is
fired upon with automatic weaponry. No report has made mention of any crew
yet.


The locals in Baton Rouge are putting out the word for a crew of capable
people for a dangerous job. One of the local scouts has claimed to find a
group of pirates living in the remnants of a small shipyard between Baton
Rouge and the New Orleans bayou. Any materials that could be scavenged would
be of immense help to the struggling towns. Of course, the shipyard is
within spitting distance of the Huey P. Long Memorial reactor...


The sheriff and town mayor of East Canaan Texas, one Debra Jory, has
instituted a new law. Each and every person must wear a badge when they come
into town. All of the locals wear one and seem to like the sheriff. The
badges are a little odd though. A round purple field bearing an infinity
symbol over a white nine-pointed star.


A local Syker is looking for some aid. Her long-time traveling companion, a
Junker named Phillip Wheeler, was kidnapped by several large Cyborgs. The
group took him from his guard duty at the gates of the Stratford Township
and vanished east with him. The 'Borgs were all wearing painted symbols of a
bizarre nature that the Syker has yet to identify. The same markings have
been reported on the ruins of Wichita in northern Texas. Or course most
people don't go there since the CAS Special Air Command Base was on the on
the outskirts, and the Northern Alliance made sure it was taken care of. No
less than five separate Ghost Storms rage in the sky around Wichita.
