This is Rom from the Packrat Sprawl creating waves and coming to you live from the middle of the Echelons down on Astor street right before you get to Drake and the Tram eatery.

The food trucks are out today. You best get there early if you want to eat. They have ramen today with mushrooms and shallots. Pretty sophisticated if you ask me. They must be wanting to treat us homeless derelicts with class.

There is an action coming up tomorrow. You best get ready with your Prophet masks and your ego and come out to represent for the cause. There is a minister from the City who is coming to the Echelons to try to drum up votes for his re-election. He is full of crap and we need to make sure to take him down. I personally hacked him this week, taking over his website and posting his real agenda. No one is going to fool us in the Packrats, we can see through your guise of self righteous contempt and get to the heart of your evil. All they want to do is impose curfew and take jobs away from working class people here trying to survive on the streets.

The SubViceroy, Lino Dejarre has been trying to help us with offering menial labor fixing roads and bridges and cleaning storefronts in the Echelons but it is hard to trust people from the City here. They are always out for themselves. The SubViceroy sends the food trucks which have been a gift from the goddess but not everyone can partake. They run out of food too fast. The charity houses try to take up the slack but they just can’t keep up.

Enough of that. You want the real news. The Packrats will have an action on this minister. Come out ready to scream your head off and fight against the establishment. They are broadcasting on the newsfeed as well and we are sure to take them over during the time the minister is broadcasting. We will shut them down and their propaganda.

They are trying to get people in the Echelons to sign up for the Pacific Territories military, to feed you, clothe you and send you to your death fighting the Atlantea Federation. Yes, they pay well and can get you things we just cant have here in the Echelons but is your life worth it? The Atlantea Federation with their Jannai don’t play games, they are there for keeps. Those Jannai soldiers are psychic and will kill anything in their path. Ask anyone trying to flee the Atlantea Federation and crossing the great devastation with the nuclear radiation in the Zone.

The air raid siren noting high radiation levels has not gone off for a few days so it is safe to be outside. The food trucks tonight are rumored to have teriyaki and rice cakes. I would check them out if I were you.

Check out Hack this weekend, there is a data sale going on if you are looking to infiltrate the Elite government. The Hack data sales are good and you can get some prime scores there. They also have the new Packrat hacker tool the Mole system. It is open source for right now as Faid is being generous against Acolyte’s best wishes. Check it out at the prize desk on the second floor.

Try to stay away from the Hole, x-rated magazine shop for the rest of the evening. I know if you are a host working out of there you will want to get situated but stay away. The Zone Police are raiding shops where hosts work looking for illegal stuff. Keep in the shadows, work the streets off Drake until the heat clears. If they round you up you are going to the kedek mines and that will be it. Stay away

So much for me today. Look forward to taking down the minister tomorrow in the action. I will be out there ready to rock. Rom out. All Hail the Packrat Code!
