Today is Monday, November 5, 2012, and tomorrow is election day, county-wide and country-wide. We'll be providing local results on the blog after they've been officially tallied. Now, again, the week that was:
- Vigils were held across the country on Hallowe'en and in the days that followed to memorialize Motley Howe, the late leader of the band Black Circle and alt. culture icon, who died of injuries sustained during a home invasion. There has been no news on efforts toward the recovery of his missing body and no arrests have been made in connection with the case.
- Shocking details of a necro sex ring are emerging following a Hallowe'en raid on Viue Technologies, operators of an experimental cryopreservation lab. "Human bodies stored long-term at this facility for future revival were subjected to continuing, systemic abuse by administrators and staff, who profited from the sales of video recordings of what only be described as extreme necrophilia fetishism, including several instances of cannibalism," said FBI spokesperson Fred Zaragoza in a statement to the press, adding that several of the bodies had been "severely damaged" or outright destroyed. It is currently unknown if the laboratory will remain open or what the fate of the remaining remains will be.
- "They are not flying saucers! They are flying clocks!": Dozens of reports of UFOs and witnessed abductions were phoned in to local police and the offices of the Starry Sky Research Foundation during the early hours of Sunday morning, incidents which are now being chalked up to mass hysteria and pranks "gone out of control". The cause of the panic is being reported as a pirate radio bulletin that briefly took over much of the AM spectrum, broadcasting a rant that the Day-Light Savings Plan is part of a grand conspiracy to "sap human energies to power the Great Alarm".
- In political news, Mayor Diomedes Argyris is polling evenly with his rival Brit Marvel in the latest poll released by the Libreville Reporter, having overcome a seven point deficit in the past two months. The turn-about has been attributed to statements made by Marvel expressing his opposition to marijuana legalization and his desire to reduce crime by clamping down on the "unruly party atmosphere" of the city, highly unpopular stances in many local quarters.
And so went the week In Infictive. Tune in again on Wednesday morning for full election results.
