BassGas begets mutant girl

A toxically-spawned mutant girl, not terribly unlike the population of dragonchildren of Meeniyan, has been found roaming the fields around the BassGas energy generating compound in Gippsland. The plant, diversely described by locals as a 'blight on the landscape' and an 'industrial shrine to progress', was found to be leaking pollutants into nearby catchments, where a group of hermits were living in a humpy. Although the production of Liquid Petroleum Gas does not officially involve any harmful byproducts, BassGas is known to have caused leprocy, sour milk in dairy cattle, and an acute form of disfiguring impotence only previously seen in post-Chenobyl USSR.

The girl, who is now in the custody of human services, speaks little English and appears to know little about civilised society. Sources have branded her as either a byproduct of BassGas or of the government-school system. Shocking photos of the girl known as 'Case #666' were splashed over local media last week. The most shocking of these can be seen on the left.
