Atrox Opens Orphanage in Newland
February 11, 29482 - [Atlantean]
IRRK - Smoke rises, guns are fired, people are killed, bombs explode left and right. This is what has become part of our daily life, and everyone is blaming everyone else for the continued warfare on our planet. They do it for money, fame, or by orders, but most of them forget who is hit the worst by our warfare: the children.
Thomas “Wammie” Elijah, a 52 year old atrox, has decided to do something about it. I recently sat down with Mr. Elijah at his Newland-based Orphanage to better get to know him, who he was, and what he did. His orphanage is based out of a Newland Backyard, utilizing a few apartments within that section for the orphanage itself.
IRRK: Mr. Elijah, do tell me about yourself, where you came from and so on.
Wammie: I come from an Omni-Tek background, working in the Offices of Omni-Mining. I suppose you could say I felt I had a calling doing something else, which is why I came to Newland to open up this orphanage. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life until I came across a young child who was wandering the streets. I had come to find he was a war orphan. From then on I would find orphans left alone and abandoned and take them into my orphanage to educate and house them.
Mr. Elijah nodded affirmatively when making his statement, all whilst kids ran about behind him.
IRRK: Of course, Mr. Elijah. Could you tell me how the citizens respond to this recent opening of the Orphanage?
Wammie: Certainly. Recently we've opened up, of course, but just the other day I ventured out with one of the kids, to get to know our 'neighbours' as it were. We came in contact with some kind folks from the 'Wolf Brigade'. Kind people they were, so I can only assume we are welcome.
(This statement was topped off with a flying Leet Doll hitting Mr. Elijah on the head, he laughed to himself as the child ran off.)
IRRK: Are you not worried for the children, Mr. Elijah? They are far too young to be able to use Insurance Technology.
Wammie: I am fully aware of this and that is why I chose this fine city of Newland. It is safe from much of the conflict, and that's the last thing I need these kids to witness.
IRRK: Thank you, Mr. Elijah, I do wish you luck your noble cause.
Wammie: Not a problem, I just wish the world to know that I am caring for those hurt by this conflict. I am no politician or radical, just a mere Atrox wishing to make some sort of difference.
