It's the End of Civilization as we know it. A mutagenic plague followed by a global war fought with disintegration weaponry has left much of the Earth a desert of fine powder and what remains of humanity fragmented into humans, animal-like mutants and bloodthirsty monstrosities with lots of teeth. The surface, still teeming with the mutagenic virus, has become the domain of the dreaded Topsiders; well-organized, technologically advanced, and heavily armed un-mutated humans sworn to exterminate mutations of any kind in order to clear the way for the eventual resurgence of a new, genetically clean humanity. Faced with annihilation, mutants and "impure" humans have retreated into the depths of the planet to form communities and hope to win, or at least survive, what may prove to be mankind's final war. Endtown is the continuing story of one of those communities.

Heck hath no fury like a cat after his mouse!

Man, talk about jumping the gun. The rats are pretty arrest-happy. Do they even get a trial? That being said, Wally’s going to tear some behind until he gets his mouse back! Go get your girl, Wally!

Wally will get Holly out of jail, as well as get those fanatical rats to see the error of being too quick on the draw.

Shock, quickly turn to anger, which will turn into crating a plan for getting everybody out of this mess without getting himself in. I am hoping he will seek out Petey. The robot would have more pressure I would think. He doesn’t have to be afraid of bullets, can quickly escape a rat rage , besides he was at one time the wonder of all rats. Wasn’t he or was that just AM?
Where the (&%$( are the lawyers??? Surely some of them should have changed? Wouldn’t they continue to fleece the population? ( OOOOO bad girl.. just you were ,what is a clean word for screwed?)
I saw the cutest little hedge hog on Wimp. Suggested to Aaron that he make him a judge. Perfect personality.
Blessed be.

Now why would Holly get taken? That doesn’t make sense.

All I know is Prof. Mallard is gonna be PISSED. But what an opportunity to get the people to open up to other food sources and get that much closer to self sustaining status.

Mouse? Can´t recall what I thought she was, but it wasn´t a mouse.

Justice is a relative term, it would seem.
.There’s the law … and then there’s justice.
Sometimes .. .the two concepts can be mutually exclusive.

If simply knowing a suspect is enough to get you detained (no one’s said anything yet about Holly being arrested), what do you think breaking into a jail, springing a detainee and/or assaulting a police officer will get you? Endtown is small. Wally can hide, but he can’t run. This is a can of worms that he may be better off not opening (and not the mutant kind, either).

“All I know is Prof. Mallard is gonna be PISSED”
What would Mallard care? He’s not friends with any of the principles involved. The only one that may have more than a passing interest (other than Doc) is Petey.

re: bruno zeigerts
They can be. Until the Rule of Law was abandoned in this nation, they usually were synonymous. I don’t think most realize how important it was when “activist”, that is to say “dishonest” judges that didn’t respect the law were appointed.
.
Precedent (common law)? Written law (civil law)? Who cares: I do what I want.

Just showing up looking for the “perps” is enough guilt by association for the rats.

I don’t think our concepts of “justice” and “law” are particularly relevant. Do we know what the laws are in Endtown? Maude definitely knew she had to keep hush-hush about the milk. The rats have a mission and single-mindedly carry it out so they (the rats, who are not real bright) must have seen a threat of some kind. With Flask out of the picture we don’t know who is running the security show but Mallard had always trumped Flask. If the Mayor can quit “fishing” long enough to be bothered to be in charge there might be “justice” after all. Is not-consuming “organics” an actual crime or merely a social taboo?

“guilt by association for the rats.”
You said it before I could ;-)
