After voting on January 5 to reject the proposal to build water plants within the Greenbelt, the City Council is preparing an alternate measure to send to Denver. Stay tuned in the battle of Big Government versus…. Big Government.
Zombie Popsicles
The tunnels underneath the city are vast and difficult to navigate, and though US soldiers have done an excellent job of clearing zombies out of unincorporated Austin, there are a handful of zombies who have taken up residence in the tunnels and, er, eating the remains of the unlucky individuals who perished below.
The morning of January 8, one lucky character stumbles upon several frozen zombies, paused midway through crawling out of an old Ghoul tunnel. Though this character alerts the authorities, the zombies thaw before they can arrive and spend a half hour lumbering very slowly around downtown Austin and interacting with three extra lucky characters before being put down.

Let's Fly Away
The airport will have its grand re-opening on January 9! As in happier, zombie-free times, prices are rather spendy -- more so these days, considering the security needed for safe travels -- but characters can now reasonably travel to and from other parts of the United States. The population continues to grow as a result of new transportation opportunities as well. Woot!
If you want to have your character go on a trip, mod approval is not needed as long as you keep in mind the price and make sure your character can realistically afford the travel.
Greenbelt Woes Continue
On January 10, one lucky played character discovers NPC Hellhound Ricky Hickey left on the side of Woodcreek Road in Greenbelt territory. His injuries are confined to the face, collarbone, and torso; though they are certainly alarming, Ricky will pull through without any issues. It's up to the character who finds Ricky to decide what to do with him; see the sign-ups in the comments to claim this plot!
