Devlin Stone Back From the Dead, On Towne 12/16/3132
INN - Interstellar News Network
Two years after his mysterious disappearance, Devlin Stone is back among us. But he
hasn’t returned to his rightful place at the head of the Republic of the Sphere. No,
instead he has come back under cover.
Reports of a tall man bearing an uncanny resemblance to the hero of the Jihad and the
patrol on the Republic began trickling in to us mere days after the communications
blackout. But now, with reports of war running rampant through the Republic, we
can see that Devlin Stone has indeed returned to us. And instead of retaking the helm
of the Republic, he is leading us to peace the same way as before—from the trenches.
Though he hasn't admitted to his true origins, he is preaching the very message of
tolerance for others and contempt for despotism as he did some six decades ago—on
the street corners, to park crowds and other public gatherings.
The man has changed his appearance, something he did quite frequently while in the
public eye, but there is no doubt in our minds that our beloved Devlin Stone has
returned.
Loyal reader Pierre Roedecker reports, “There’s no doubt in my mind that it is him. I
saw him speak in person to huge mobs of people every day straight for the past week.
His message, his voice, his look—it’s definitely Devlin. He’s here to bring us back out
of this dark age that has fallen. Already the people who have escaped the horrors on
Addicks are flocking to him daily.”
But why hasn’t he taken his rightful place at the head of the Republic and stopped this
wholesale warfare?
Dr. Everette Coolidge, a noted psychologist at the Towne Center for Mental Powers,
sheds some light on the answer. “Humankind has the instinctive need to make war on
and conquer their neighbors,” he says. “Humanity also detests dictates handed down
from on high—even the most law-abiding citizen doesn’t like to be told what to do
and when to do it. But give humanity a grass¬roots cause, and we will all band
together like the unstoppable force that we are. That’s why he’s leading from the
trenches again!”
Watch here for continued reports on Devlin Stone’s return to us.
Towne Log
+ I saw him myself! This ain’t no joke. He’s back, and he’s gonna lead us to safety. :
- Gunji
+ Yer all just falling for a lode of bunk. Devlin Stone is dead. Admit it and move on! :-
Gatekeeper55
+ No! Its true. Devlin Stone is back and he’s here on Towne. Thousands of people
have seen him and heard him! It’s all starting here. Just watch! He only left us so that
he could find out who were the weakest and who were the strongest. He’s going to
take the strongest and the most faithful and we’re going to rule by his side over all
you unbelievers and nay-sayers. Be careful what you say now. We have long
memories! :- Hop4evr
+ Hope, I was there yesterday. That group of thousands who “heard” him were there
in the park for a jazz concert. I stopped and watched him for a minute before I went
and found a nice shady spot as far away from him as I could. He’s a lunatic who was
literally foaming at the mouth! :- Chungabunga
+ Hey, editors, do you even realize how dumb you are? Devlin Stone was like 3
meters tall. This guy was just shy of two meters and maybe 30 years old. Stone is
dead and rotting on Terra! :- MoroNpoLICE
+ Did anyone get close enough to smell that guy? Whew! Glad he was wearing that
drezenberry wine aftershave! :- TimE
+ Scoff if you want, but the chosen will rule supreme with Devlin Stone. He will
reform his Nirvana and rid the universe of the Succession Lord despots once and for
all. Mark my words. Accept Him now or live the rest of your sorry lives in pain! :-
Hop4evr
+ I saw him, too. I think he’s just pretending to be a bum so that the people listen to
his message, not his voice. :- Yulia
+ Hey, Hope, watch yourself. You’re about a minute away from being committed!
Hahahaha! :- MoroNpoLICE
+ Consider the source of these rumors. The Towne Inquisitor does not publish what
most would call serious journalism. :- Chungabunga
