The "Trench Coat Guy", an Interview with a Lieutenant

Article written by Megan Stone for Gernsbury News

A silly name, for a silly man. The "Trench Coat Guy" is a terrorist. It is plain and simple. But who is he? And should we be scared of him?

I don't think so.

The name "The Trench Coat Guy" is a funny name. I was discussing this issue with my friend in Gernsbury Mall the other day, she suggested the name lacks "respect", and in a way, insulting. When you think about it, it is! It's silly. It doesn't invoke fear or admiration, as this figure truly wants, but instead, disdain, immaturity. The Trench Coat Guy is just that, immature, silly, it shows we give him no respect.

The Trench Coat Guy therefore, is a terrorist who, like many others out there, is a terrorist that lurks in the shadows, amongst the rats and sewers. He is distinctly known by his signature "Trench Coat" that he wears in every sighting across the city. And I mean- by now it must truly stink!

I had the honourable pleasure of speaking to a Lieutenant of the O.D.P. who kindly asked that his name be redacted from this article. So I shall call him by his title. We spoke about this terrorist, and he helped me build a picture to the mystery of terrorism, and why they are so adamant on destroying our glorious utopia.

Through my conversation with the Lieutenant, he revealed to me that System-One knows who this terrorist is, and he has a name: Markus.

This individual was once suspected to be a loner, doing these deeds by himself, but, through recent reports it is believed that Markus has ties to The Intelligence, and subsequentially, Pentecost.

This theory is most likely true, as "Markus" is able to hide himself from System-Eye Security, which should be an impossibility for someone working alone, but since he does disappear from the camera feeds, it appears he clearly has connections with the great threat themselves.

Their motive is not known, but it can be guessed: barbarism, chaos. All of them are sick and twisted in the mind, and I myself have had close encounters with these sick individuals!

As terrorism seems to be rising as of late, System-One wants to assure you, and me! that it is doing everything in its power to weed out Markus, and stop future terrorism. By employing more powerful gear to its Officers, and Wardens, System-One will surely keep any dangerous individuals off our streets. It has a plan, and we must trust that System-One has our best interests in mind.
