Lootius has disappeared from the planet Calypso.
Reports have been pouring into the EuC newsroom from all over about a startling event taking place on the colony planet, Calypso. It appears, by all indications that one of the most revered, yet, mysterious 'inhabitants' of this lush garden-like planet has gone missing.
Lootius Maximus, as he is commonly called, has not been seen for several days and some fear for even longer. The reclusive hermit is seldom seen as a matter of course, but his works have remained evident and have been a staple since the discovery of the planet in the early part of the twenty-first century.
"It's seems he just up and goed. Ain't nuttin' fallin' from no-wheres these days," Sufferin NoBrains Succotash, a longtime Calypsian resident was quoted as saying. "Not that no-one sees 'im any-who, but, well, ya know, when them Esto's cough up a table or a Feffer bleeds a Korss, well, that's him, that's Lootius."
The authorities are silent on the disappearence. All inquires into the Interplanetary Council have been met with the same response. A recorded message stating simply: "Gold Card Activation is available for free for all colonists who have deposited more than 5000 PED to date." ( PED is the standing currency on the planet Calypso and is linked to the US dollar. )
A large number of colonists suspect that there is something more diabolical going on and the lines, and subsequent delays at the local auctions houses are increasing as colonist's try desperately to sell off their possessions for a ticket back to Earth.
Doen FutWit Me, The head of one the largest planetary societies, Freelancer, reported just this afternoon:
"With Lootius, gone the market prices and the overall cost of living here is skyrocketing. People just can't afford to stay. I've got all of my Armor and plating up for auction right now, but with the demand falling, I'll be lucky to sell it for any kind of profit at all."
More on this breaking story as events unfold. :coffee:
