Coral Cape Child Sculpture

The children of indigenous Rilao are superstitious of the Virtual Reality images being fed to them on a daily basis. So much that they have created capes made of coral and tree sap that have the power to block out the virtual images surrounding them. However, they must refrain from wearing the cape for long periods of time to prevent permanent blindness.

Wanted Posters

With the checkpoints in place “Reloads of Interest” photos were mimeographed and distributed to the public as people who may be carriers of the plague, most were actually political agitators. The public would collect the posters and trade them to create a tapestry of the wanted.

MISSING CHILD — RONAN DOE

SKY RING WEEKLY REVIEW, SEPTEMBER 25th 1931
*** FOR IMMEDIATE CIRCULATION ACROSS RILAO ADMINISTRATIVE DISTRICTS***

RONAN DOE — MISSING OR PRESUMED DEAD
A boy raised in the slums of Rilao and displaced by early construction on the STEM Project in the Sky Ring district has disappeared, the Weekly Review has learned. Both parents dead of the plague, Ronan (surname unknown) was last seen leaving the vicinity of a Sky Ring District schoolhouse by night, in mild-mannered conversation with a man presumed to be his teacher (name not released). Concerned friends say Ronan was dedicated to improving the lives of students by encouraging them to drop out of our nation’s fine schools, a fool’s errand if ever there has been one.

His body has yet to be recovered, and he was last seen in the region of new STEM construction surrounding the Sky Ring District.
