Kaskad av Räkskal

The Furley Frosh of Reid III (“Too Cool to Care”) in Party Animal mode took their behaviour a bit too far on a Stratum XIII Saturday. In their sodden antics they revert to atavistic form reminiscent of prawn feeders (similar to octopus and cuttlefish, albeit without the cerebral capacity) but act closest to the raucous, aerial defecating sea-mew.
  As for their decapod detritus, it all carelessly went out the window. This did not go over well with the bundled parkers below.
  The retributive Trashening of Reid III commenced that evening.
“It was revenge for Kaskad av Räkskal, and a lot of other things. And there was nothing that we could do about it. And we had to sit still and take it.”

Dynorama-360 of Lodge Quarters

Dusty book stacks and midgets with afros. A purple bear and wombat sit mutely upon the Electrophonic speaker. Hovering behind are a young boy and girl tending first-aid upon a Cocker Spaniel puppy. Adjacent: Mr Redford on the rack, stretched to the point of misery between Church and World, unable to serve two masters.
  For colour décor the U.S. Frequency Allocation chart is splayed beneath the “Whatever” dude douchebag masque. An honourary gonfalon respecting Grand Praetor Zarg/Xarg is flanked by Hawaiian and Nigerian flags. Next, a diptych: plastic American flag boosted from BBACBL politicos (who are equally plastic); and, a Russian S.S.R. flag, bought in the superior free market, ignoring rotten rubles.
  The imperial dartboard hangs on the door, analogue in nature, uneven sectors bait variable targeting. Light switch Tokyo smoker and a Courier One service portrayal. Shelving of linguistic literature and a tropical crèche with added African carvings, plastic dinosaurs, and mermaids.
  Mahaadev hovers o’er the bunk; turning the corner, a window facing east, catching the sunset reflections of the hotel facing west. More shelves groaning under the weight of aging vinyl. Logan’s school portrait surrounded by a totem and 3-D lenticular manifestation of Urutoraman.
  “Tiểu Vương Hội” mumbles the poster from a mid-90’s after-hours Buford Highway karaoke bar. A questionable Nihon kite from Epcot hangs beside it.
  More shelves caked with books on shop talk. Bookends: A phrenology bust on one side; a bust of the blue-eyed Injun of the Papal Lodge on the other.
  The 360-degree tour of the quarters is concluded.

Uni-Ville “Not Courier One”

Protective guise used by Courier One during covert ops for Orville’s Hertwall Codicil. This cover was also utilised during righ-risk assignments for APF.
This particular Image-Construct is intended to deceive the adversary and not oneself.

Al otro lado del horizonte ondulante
La carne y la sangre bien podrían ser hueso y arena
El oasis es peor que el espejismo

Retro Tech: Tactical Psionic Devices
of the Early Strata

Back in the heady days of yore before the rise and fall of the BubbaCabal, Tactical Psionic Devices were even more primitive than what we take for granted today.
  Strata IX-XI were the days before TPD’s were equipped with Sheva brainwave sensors, so basic ghee-factor Psi-Scan modules were still commonplace hardware in most Remote Pungeoning Consoles at the time.
  In addition to featuring Psi-Scan modules, early TPD’s like the Model 311 featured Random Caste Allocators and Egotic Excisors for cases of Ego Ennui. Psychic Detrusor modules were also a popular add-on option.
  KT Leaguers and other technocrats would often utilise the devices against khoogs and Pink Boys in addition to the usual defensive memetics they deployed. [Un]fortunately, they ceased using the TPD-311 after careless misuse rendered clench members pungled with frontal lobe issues sometime after the first Vindaloo Weekend.
  The Orville Corporation made definite improvements in safety and high fidelity functions and released the improved “Land Mind” model TPD introduced during the Rev. Resbo Era [Strata XIX-XXVII].

Retro Tech: Pungeoniser Imperial XI

Amongst the popular late 20th Century utilities in use in the reprogramming community was the Orville brand Pungeoniser Imperial XI model.
  Certain pungeoning techniques like the Psy-Truncheon, the Inanimate Pungle and Quantum Blur were done at the touch of a button with split-second accuracy.
  The balance of efficacy and ease of abuser-interface made the appliance popular outside of clinical pungeonary settings.
  Although the Pungeoniser Imperial XI was in favour with the public, the Kar-Lac Mishap of Stratum III led to further improvements and newer models.
