Hidden Tunnels Under Malton?

By Marshall Bradwel

Last monday during maintenance work on Honeybone Walk, the repair crew accidently breached the ceiling of an underground lair. Closer inspection proved it to be an unmarked tunnel, with corridors pointing towards nearby office buildings rumoured to be undercover Necrotech buildings, any further investigation was stopped, as DRC agents emptied and sealed the scene. Necrotech leaders were not available to comment.

Tunnels of malton factbox:
-First tunnels were the old sewers built
in the 19th century, still largely in use
-Underground tunnels built in the early 
20th  century, stations used as 
bomb shelters during WWII
-Originally two major underground lines,
later up to nine in the Seventies, untill
the depression in the eighties, that saw
the closing of two major Eastern Malton 
underground lines.
-The newly discovered tunnels are very 
modern, said to have automatically closed
doors when certain powerlines been cut.
-Who or what are the Gentlemen?

on the next page, there is a short handwritten commentary

This article was released only months before the outbreak, but the paper with it was pulled out in few hours, instead, they ran an editorial about the H5N1 virus, and the same content otherwise, except this particular article left out. Some of my comrades had bought the early copy, and found the article. It was summatically taken numerous photocopies of, and archived. I recieved this copy during the planning of a protest.

Why was the story pulled? Was it the mention of the tunnels? DRC? The Gentlemen? The Possible Hidden necrotech Buildings? All seemed like red cloths for the corporations attempting to grasp a hold of the city, and the whole country.

Under the text, there's a swift scribble "VERT?"
