         Inquiry calls for
        crackdown on Runners

An official inquiry has called for the
immediate introduction of tougher
measures to curb the illegal activities of
Runners; highly athletic couriers
specializing in the commercial
distribution of illegal materials.

The inquiry, which involved the
collaboration of national intelligence and
municipal authorities, brings to light
disturbing new information on the extent
of the Runner's criminal activities. In
addition to working for organized crime,
the Runners have now been proven to
have possible links to notorious terrorist
cells rumored to be embedded in the
city.

Speaking at a campaign fundraiser,
Senator Elaine Callaghan stated, "Public
perception of Runners as harmless low
rent pests and thrill seekers has been
shattered today. Our efforts must be
vigilant in striking down this threat to our
city as we move ever closer to peace".
Callaghan lamented the lack of co-
operation from police in the inquiry as,
"regrettable" and called for, "a re-
evaluation of the city's obviously
inadequate data retrieval facilities and
the extension of the Guardian
surveillance network to marginalized
areas".
