Candidates prepare to square-off in what analysts are predicting to be
the largest city election in history.
Wild Animals Reported
in Guinness Lake
City and federal
officials kept busy dealing with recent hacker resurgence.

Residents living near the Central Power Lines report hearing noises
that they describe as "large growling
and snarling" or even sounds similar to those made by wildcats late at
night and early into the morning hours.
The
bodies of several members of the King's Men, a local street
gang
believed to be on the payroll of a dealer known as Indigo, were found
with several gunshot wounds and usually with slashed throats. Reports
consistently state that all of the bodies have had the blood drained
from them and
the internal organs removed,
although there have been no signs of any surgical

incisions.
Dr. Darwin Mendell, a professor at
Stratford's School of Zoology, has been called in to examine the wounds
and determine if a wild animal could have made them. "Some of the
damage looks more like the work of someone with a knife," Mendell told
reporters at a press conference, "but there are also large puncture
wounds and slashes that are more consistent with claw marks.
When asked what creature could have been responsible for
such an
attack, he stated that he was reluctant to say more until he had made
further examinations.

Insanity Rates Soar

Has the world gone mad?
It is the question many people are asking
themselves these
days, and rightfully so. Recent studies suggest that due to recent
electrical
errors, water pollution, and odd events throughout the city,
there has been an increase in the number of patients seeking
psychiatric treatment for various mental ailments.
The district with the largest number of cases is of course
Westview. One can simply walk from one block to the next hearing
stories of wire-men and vampires, all of which are ramblings
of the
mentally-afflicted. Richland comes in
second, with many locals actually going missing or turning to drugs and
choosing to become a part of the redpill subculture. Drug use seems
to be the predominant factor in
|
the
cases being reported from Richland.
Next comes Downtown.
While one would think Downtown would be at the bottom of the list due
to the fact that those who live
there tend to have higher incomes
than those living in the more run-down portions of the city, this isn't
actually the case. Normally the problems come from people who
frequently spend time near the docks, although certain residents of the
Lamar, Vauxton, and South Vauxton neighborhoods have been reported to
have mental instability. The cause is generally not known, and is
possibly due to some odd electrical phenomena taking place a long while
ago at the hands of an organized group of redpills calling themselves
Unlimit or perhaps the electrical disturbances recently dealt with by
government officials.
International has the least amount of mentally
deranged people. Normally they can be found congregating amongst the
Destitute gang of Jurong.

Candidates talk about their plans
for the city's future.
By City Staff
While front-runner Arthur Freeman may have
gotten the most votes, he has yet to get the majority vote.
He's
been busy preparing his supporters for another round of campaigning in
a runoff election. Meanwhile, opponent Robert Miller's supporters say
they're just happy that their candidate is still in the race.
"I actually have a plan," said Miller, "I've spent
my
years as a commissioner working on it. As far as we know, Freeman has
no real plan or experience."
But Freeman says he does have a plan,
and he's prepared to share it with the community soon.
"I believe that this city belongs to the citizens.
I'm
here to represent the taxpayers, the working class individuals and help
make our city a better, more affordable place to live during these
tough economic times. City government needs to be held accountable, and
it's time the people's voice was heard," said Freeman.
Freeman and Miller both jumped ahead of the other three
candidates after the primary, and both of them agree that now that the
ballot has been narrowed down to the remaining candidates, it's time to
get down to business.
Local Stocks Holding
Steady
By SENTINEL STAFF
Despite the economic recession, most of the high
profile
corporations within the city report that their stocks are holding
steady and that some are even up by a considerable amount.
Ouroboros Corporation reports that its
stocks are holding steady and that their earnings remain profitable.
Newcomer Omnigistics, Inc. reports a steady
increase in
earnings. Their new computer operating system Axiom OS, which was
released last November, continues to earn popularity, moving MetaCortex
to the number two spot in that particular market. While Omnigistics may
be experiencing financial growth, it doesn't come without its setbacks.
Their much anticipated all-in-one media platform, Veritas,
has been pushed back and is now expected to be released sometime
between late fall and early spring. CEO David Greil also revealed that
Omnigistics has recently signed a contract to develop programs with
military applications. He declined to explain himself further, however.
Meanwhile, Pendhurst-Amaranth finds itself in a
bit of
trouble again as Wright Research has threatened legal action against
the company. P-A has been in the spotlight in the past when various
products, such as the popular Tastee Wheat brand cereal, were placed on
recall due to contamination. Brenda Utley could not be reached for
comment.
