Myths And Legends - The Story Of Dead End

A gang truce has been called within Dead End following the capture and Execution of Bull Gorg, a renegade Pit Fighter who set up tolls for hivers entering and exiting Dead End, with extremely large traffic passing through Dead End Pass. Guilders amassed an army to capture this threat to our dear dome and launched a full scale assault. The streets of Dead End Pass, the neighbouring settlement to the dome main stead, ran red with blood. Massive losses were recorded to the Pit Slave menace and credit damage to the settlement reported to be in the thousands.

Sources tell us that an increasing amount of weapons has been making it's way into Dead End midst the truce, believed to be being doled out to four gangs of the houses Escher, Cawdor, Delaque and Van Saar. House representatives have been unavailable to comment on these allegations of preparing for conflict, but hivers have been making themselves scarce in the industrial zones.

Still profiting from the lull in violence however are the dome's hirelings, Gun-Scum have seen an increase in trade as treasure hunters move into the newly found, and highly unstable lower dome of Slime-Slick.

Juliet Starling reports.

 Treasure Hunters had swarmed to Slime-Slick for their chance to go down in history, uncovering hoards of Archeotech. Ancient domes, thought to be some of the Hive's very first have been found in the lower levels of the Underhive over the last decade, some of which have been repopulated, some found to be little more than sheer drops into an abyss, but this latest discovery has left some Dome governors scratching their heads. Reports of Ratskin totems, offering temples and missing caravans and treasure hunters have been rife since the discovery. Some who have returned have been left dumb with fear, gibbering insanely to themselves about the dome being alive, on occasion dying from seemingly insignificant wounds, scratches and rashes. One eyewitness report even told of a treasure hunter returning to kill the entire holestead that offered him place to sleep and eat. He was later found by a passing Enforcer Patrol, covered in blood and unresponsive to their orders, then shot when the treasure hunter attacked. One officer of the patrol, who is yet to be officially named, was taken to Dead End's leading medical practitioner, Doctor George Blessing. Nothing has been told of his condition.

Lee Kennedy returns to our screens hosting the Hive's most popular game shows from our neighbouring dome, Scuzz Precipice. We asked him for a statement about the new show, "Let's just say, that our contestants are in for a hell of a time, and our viewers for a treat! We've spared no expense on our prizes and with a return of a crowd favorite, Lord Of The Spire, we know you're all going to love it!"

Lee Kennedy who returns to our screens after a hiatus from the Hive Photovision Corporation after claims of selling body parts of contestants to medical facilities, resulting in a vampire plague in nearby dome Saturnine. No charges were ever brought forward. Chief Watchman Gary Shaver was also cleared of corruption charges due to lack of evidence. Let's just hope those missing witnesses turn up safe and sound.
