Portland, Maine, tired of being overshadowed by Boston at every turn, has unveiled their newest public works project - the Forty-two Minute Train. Running from the Portland Transportation Center to every major city in the world, the new Forty-two Minute Train will be a revolution in technology and design, and put Portland on the map once again as a major hub of commerce. Amtrak is already planning to add many more trips to the Downeaster schedule, which currently runs only five trips each day from Portland to Boston.
The new Even Grander Central Station will of course be a huge challenge to provide security for, but the capable![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
derien will be named Federal Security Director, and will have an even greater empire than (...sorry, had to cut that part due to security issues -Ed). She has already begun amassing her evil minions handpicking her managers. Already lined up for positions: CeeJay and Mistress of the Night will be Screening Managers, Rev. Ricco will be Human Resources Specialist, ElvenGirl as Training Coordinator, and Mainertoo and BuddyBoy will be in charge of screener moral. A special Intelligence Board will also be convened, weekly, to review all decisions and decide if they were intelligent or not. Although the darker side of Rumor has it that a special Oubliette of Darkness is being prepared for any dissenters to derien's absolute rule over all security measures, this is completely unconfirmed and we must not pass on rumors as all rumors are bad bad bad, so forget we ever printed this.
It has of course been pointed out that drilling a hole through the center of the Earth is a very risky undertaking, and could, if handled wrongly, cause a major magma flow to engulf most of that side of the city. However, if that should happen the city council looks forward to having an unparalleled tourist attraction in the new Portland Volcano. Alternatively, should the Hollow Earth theory prove true, University of Southern Maine may become a world-renowned center for Archeology and Anthropology, or for the study of new technologies, depending which theorizer of Hollow Earth theory proves to be most correct.
Also...
( Happy Birthday to Rev. Dodgson. :) )
