E.P.

While rebuilding a series of STEMs, a tunnel was discovered leading to an arena carved into the hillside. At the center of the arena was an altar carved from the coral, bearing several artifacts labeled with the initials “E.P.” A nested series of locked stone boxes contained a number of vials – doses of antidote for the plague. As these were controlled by the state, the presence of this artifact confirmed the presence of a subversive group, dedicated to a person, one “E.P.”

Raymond Dunt

In 1985, Muka oil began flowing through massive pipelines constructed inside the pre-existing catacombs underneath Sky Ring City. The chief architect of this project – Raymond Dunt – disappeared shortly after its completion. His body was never found. This letter, recently translated, shows the anguish and grief felt by his concerned wife.

The original note on this posting suggested that the body had never been found. This was true until recent excavations under the water basin below Sky Ring City discovered a mass grave, composed of bodies ranging in date of death from 1920 to 2059. Dunt’s body was in fact discovered during this excavation and will interned at the upcoming UNESCO/Canadian Ministry of Heritage/ByoLogyc memorial/mausoleum/museum/medical research centre to be located at the heart of the city.

Leikoola

Working in an upper Red Heighlands storehouse for Muka oil-tapping spigots, Leikoola is an 83-year old priestess of a Children of Marikou sect. Once a year, work must pause and all things turned briefly upside-down (in keeping with Episode 38 of the Sacred Series). Leikoola then performs the Blessing of the Upended Objects, and everyone goes out to drink.

Raymond Burns

Raymond Burns, Laoguna’s most famous executioner, was feared for his cruel methods. He would tie the victim to a chair in the middle of the Laoguna arena, and force them to watch all the episodes of the Marakihau Telenova with its original, 1980’s audio.

Zda

The area was a dumping ground for left over resources and unused parts from industry in years past. The dumped material created phosphorescent, and electronic reactive dyes and colorants. Zda illegally mines these chemicals to use in his body art work. He inadvertently discovers new valuable resource and the new government threatens his work.

Mystic Genius Escapes Mysterious Island

A once crazed man, outcast for an extreme number of petty crimes, ranging around 10,000 minor stolen items, escapes Rilao on a small handmade craft. He manages to survive the wild currents to Baja California, where he, with his normal knowledge of everyday Rilaoan botany, is heralded as a mystic genius. This now mythic hero is regarded as the symbol of Rilao to the rest of the world.
