Excerpts SLA Internal Security File G5-357-KD3-WR9: Frothers
The killing of The Kurgen by Duke was necessary and for good of SLA Industries. The Kurgen was a massive liability and started to lose us money. Unfortunately his behaviour inspired many younger Frothers graduating from Meny Academy in the months after his death. They tried to emulate his maverick approach and placed this ideology before the needs of the Company. Two steps were taken to deal with this: firstly more rigorous indoctrination has been introduced into the curriculum for any individual who have profiles suggesting excessively high drug consumption; secondly Karma began work on adding control elements into Ultra Violence. In addition the Department of Media produced several programmes in which Frother clan elders analysed footage of The Kurgen in action and denounced his methods. Initial results have been positive and we conclude that provided these processes are maintained there is still a role for Frothers to play within SLA Industries. They are the most willing cannon fodder we have yet to find.
Excerpts from Mort 913 Who’s Who
After leaving Dead Zone, Duke accepted the offer made to work “It’s a Wonderful Slice” TV programme. He was initially in charge of crowd control during location shoots but quickly worked his way to become the show’s Producer. His rise saw the marginalisation of the show’s PR expert, Sena. The rumour mill suggests that she got hold of some compromising footage of Duke from when he was part of Dead Zone. Shortly after this Sena disappeared, and to this day has not been seen again. There was no evidence pointing towards Duke but his contract was bought out a few months after Sena vanished as ratings were falling. Duke had been doing some modelling for Anton Cholo and he now turned his attention to his modelling career. Under Cholo’s guidance Duke’s profile and fame grew. He has since been voted The Face of Mort for the last 6 years running, and his regular appearances as a guest commentator on Downtown Death race are rumoured to earn him upwards of 20,000 credits an episode.
Excerpts from “The Sound and Fury: The Tony Fury Autobiography”
Felicity always was very loyal. She was loyal to me, even though she could have easily got a bigger name financier after she became famous; and she always stuck with her very first sponsor, Homespun Knitwear. I remember the first time she was sponsored by Multi Job Lacerates after she did so well as a Channel 50 Weather News anchor – and it was a really big deal - they gave her a bespoke Power Claymore as part of the deal and the first thing she did was tie a Homespun Knitwear scarf to the handle. She was loyal to Kevin as well. After Felicity moved from Channel 50 Weather New News to front Celebrity Party Gatecrashers on Channel 23 she had all kinds of offers for marriage, and some were from really big players. To shut them up she married Kevin, and that took guts because it wasn’t a great career move. But we weathered it. I was devastated when Kevin took the assassin’s bullet for her at one of Entropy’s parties, especially as he had ethical issues with LAD so never opened an account. But from the perspective of Felicity’s career it was a real game changer. The public sympathy for her was phenomenal and after that she could do no wrong. That was when we both got really rich, so thanks Kev for taking one for the team.
Excerpts from DarkNight Personnel File DN-55-46.04_KLN: Yolo Stormrider
After several years working covertly to undermine SLA in such Operative Squads as The Terrible Trio, Clancy’s Cleavers, Dead Zone and The Imperators, Yolo was activated for a mission to assassinate Anton Kenway, an odious individual who had managed to establish a significant power base for himself within the Internal Affairs division. This activation would blow Yolo’s cover so he was to rendezvous with small team of fellow Ops who were also being evacuated off world; together they would get through the sewers to Cannibal Sector 2, then cross CS2 to the Wastelands to rendezvous with our foldship. Yolo’s mission was a success but the squad of Ops he was to meet failed in their mission and were all killed. Yolo had to fight his way through the sewers and CS2 alone. When he made it to the foldship he’d lost his left arm and right eye and was barely alive. After a long period of recuperation back on the Dark Night home world he was attached to the staff of the Director of Mort Operations where his years of experience on the SLA home world proved invaluable. When the Director retired Yolo was promoted into the role, and continues in this capacity today having engineered some spectacular success in our ongoing fight against the corruption of SLA Industries.
