A few I originally planned to use in my alternative work on the UK. The first two in particular were written in such a way that they could be used for PC's as the introduction to a scenario.

"We were about ten miles from Nottingham – or at least what's left of Nottingham – when we ran into them. There must have been about fifteen of them, all wearing Army uniform and carrying guns. Well we thought we were safe. You would, wouldn't you, if you saw soldiers, British soldiers. How were we to know that they were bandits They stole everything that we had, our water, food...we didn't have much, but they took it all, even our wedding rings. Then they took some of the women – one man tried to stop them and they just shot him in the guts, left him at the side of the road, to die. Then...then they.... they took my wife...took her away with them....they were laughing...please, will you help me find her" - Unidentified refugee recounting an encounter with the Marauder group known as Bad Company to a mamber of the Leicester Defence Force

"The guy in charge in Leicester is hiring mercenaries to fight Bloody Mary. No way would I take her on – she's a fucking psycho bitch. Her troops went through a village near here a couple of weeks ago. The word is some of the villagers tried to fight her so she butchered them. They didn't die quick either – I heard that she castrated the guy in charge and then made him eat his....you know...." - Unknown Independent Trader in the vicinity of Leicester

"The geezer* that's in charge in Colchester is a nutter. You know the one I mean, he never goes anywhere without those bloody pit bull terriers. I heard that some bloke pissed him off – touched up one of his birds*, something like that, I dunno...anyway, whatever it was, turns out the guy got locked in the back of a van with those dogs and they ripped his throat out. No shit man!" - Rumour heard in the Free City of Milton Keynes

"Me and my mates are headed to Cornwall. They say some Army bloke has taken charge there and he's looking for men to join his Army. He's offering food, a place to sleep, and plenty of women." - Unidentified individual overheard talking to a local in a bar in Stroud, Gloucestershire

(* For those not familiar with British slang, a geezer is a term for a man and a bird is a term for a woman).
