Cleaner Bots Assault Athen's Flowers
March 12, 29485 - [Rimor]

In recent news, loud speakers were heard blaring to life across thecity of Old Athen a few fridays ago.

Apparently the city's crew of maintenance droids had gone haywire on some freshly planted pink flora specimens. Evving, who was contracted to do the city's landscaping work, commented that the droids were seen grouped together in packs of nine at a time.

“They just kept making these awful screeching noises,” Evving said. Upon further investigation of the situation Evving had determined that the city's cleaner bots were recognizing her freshly planted flora as abandoned pink atrox thongs.

The city has had brief spurts where these abandoned articles had been a problem in the past, and this is why the droids had an entry in their routines for disposal of such. “Mortifying, just Mortifying!” Evving proclaimed during the interview.

“All of my beautiful flowers were ripped right out of the soil by those menacing cleaner bots' pesky little claws!” Evving mentioned that she had recruited the assistance of some passerby citizens to help stop the crazed bots.
With some effort they were able to “deactivate” the mechanized menaces and save what remained of Evving's work.

Evving says that she hopes to not have to deal with this kind of situation in the future and hopes that the future batch of cleaner bots will be fixed. “They better keep their claws out of my soil!”
