Although precautions are taken to ensure this was no ploy, the family would be brought under the care of the Revolution. Fed, protected. A promise from Phoenix.wrote:A letter sent to SIGIS on cheap paper with messy handwriting:
To anyone who will hear the plea of an old woman:
Because of the new taxes imposed by the Takers, my son went out into the Bazaar to get some extra jink so that we wouldn't get arrested. I found out later that he was attacked by a Hardhead and a Mercykiller. Some locals tried to help resuscitate him, and though he retained his life, he is severely disabled, unable to walk or even communicate.
He was the breadwinner of the family- now I have no one to help pay the taxes, or even buy food and clean water. Please help.
Some of the ink is splotched in a radial pattern- indicating that some kind of clear liquid had been dropped onto the pages while the ink was still wet.
