===Newspaper article reconstruction=== | |||
=== | The left column of [[:Image:Dream_1_murder_or_mercy.jpg|this larger version of the newspaper article]] is totally readable (the text stops right where the fade to black occurs), but only a fraction of the right column can be read. Below we spell out exactly what can be seen of both columns, and then make a reconstruction attempt of the right column. Also see the verbal account of the event from [[Quotes/Speech#Intro_4|Hasegawa in Chapter 11]]. | ||

* Can it be: such an article in a censored media? This [[Quotes/Manual#The Technology Crimes Task Force (TCTF)|techno-phobia]] might be one more ‘insurance’ that no civilians will explore the zones on their own anymore.<br>If we think that way maybe someone other killed Jamie – not a virus but the TCTF or the rangers. Then Haseagawa’s file (in the state building) would be a fake.<br>On the other hand Kerr would have told Konoko about this fake, wouldn’t he?<br>In sum the article might be half true. It might be a virus and WCG dictated [[wikipedia:Centers_for_Disease_Control_and_Prevention|CDC]] (Centers for Disease Control <font color="#777">and Prevention</font>) what saying in public. | |||
