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.

I have the feeling that there is only one person behind that dark place. It is Algod.(pun meant) He would profit by harassment of all those against his wills. And violence.
One of our heros needs to find a way to get him by his scrotum. I am a gentle lady, I don’t use words like “balls”.
But the meaning is the same. Hush little baby, don’t you cry.
Blessed Be

Listen up commenters. I feel that the fish who are not able to come to the restreant to eat beans, must eat something. Is it maybe the garbage and what other Endtowners lose from bodily activity!!!.

No Xavier will have to build something.
Speaking of that: couldn’t our cyborg former transporter do something?

I know Aaron is not going to tell us what he plans. Sigh.
Endtown goes on.

First, on a seroius note…
I came across a place that lets family and friends set up accounts to accept donation to help people pay their medical bills. I have set up such an account for Aaron.
I know that many of you have already donated to Aaron’s PayPal account and purchased prints, original artwork, and auction pieces to help Aaron out. Please believe me when I say that I know Aaron is most grateful, appreciative and thankful for your help. So I am not asking for more money from you here. What I am asking for is your help in publisizing this donation campaign. If you are on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, where ever it may be, PLEASE go to this site KeepEndtownAlive
and share it with your friends, who will hopefully share it with their friends, and so on. With enough people sharing and making donations, no matter the size, Aaron can begin to pay the hospital for this last bout, and pay the loans he had to get to pay off his previous rounds of infection.
Thank you for your support

This is bad. There’s no balance to power
And it’s looking much worse by the hour
“Constitution? What’s that?”
They just rule by fiat
Thus creating a future quite dour.
But such tyrants have often short runs
“Fiat” irritates first, then it stuns,
Then enrages the masses
Who reject “ruling classes”
And a few of them might just have guns.

1) I wonder how long the terms are, before this group of the council have to leave and the next ones take their place.
2) I wonder how many they are in number.
3) I wonder if they all change as one group or the composition of the council changes gradually over time.
4) I wonder whether they stay sequestered from society during their tenure.
5) I wonder if they stay isolated from news of what is actually happening in the society.
6) I wonder if any of them recognise any of the others.
7) I wonder if they actually have power over security, or whether they just think they do.
8) I wonder whether the system works this way because the infrastructure has been physically engineered that way, i.e. they physically CAN’T interact with one another, the rats CAN’T have access to their guns without them, the public CAN’T get to see the decisions taken and the votes cast, or whether they just do it that way because of agreed convention.

Only Aaron knows, and he ain’t talking

Either they have their brains networked, or the council elected one person to speak for them. That would make the council a republic instead of a democracy. The speaker would be making all the decisions so the others don’t have to, except when he calls for their vote. He’ll call for a vote only to cover his butt, and they don’t object, to cover theirs.
