The Kahoolawe Interstellar Correction Facility, Inmates of:
        
        Our correctional facility on the Terran island of Kahoolawe ("Ka-ho-oh-
la-way) is the finest and most secure facility in our federal government's
correctional system.  All inmates at this facility have been convicted by due
process (proof by mindscan) of serious, devastating, and momentous crimes.
        The small majority of inmates are the warlike Terran males (Terran
culture does not accept females and males of the same species being imprisoned
at the same facility).  All the other races under the government's jurisdiction
are imprisoned there as well.  A small number of other races from systems under
other governments are kept here for serious crimes comitted during an illegal
pass through our counrty's space.
        The facility is guarded by all races, but is run by the local Terran
government.  The guards are well armed and have a full selection of Universal
GunArmor to back them up.  Security drones, robotic guardians, are used in both
varieties, stationary (supplied by the Terrans) and levitated-mobile (created
by the Reticulans and modified for use with Terran computers).
        This island had previously been used as a bombing range, and only the
extreme eastern portion was cleared of unexploded munitions.  This serves as a
natural minefield for criminals who escape and try to hide out on the island.
An internally generated force-field prevents a complete escape.

                        Extra-National Races at Kahoolawe
________________________________________________________________________________

WaSPs:
        Because mindscans seem to be jammed by the brainwaves of these "things",
their planet of origin is not known, and mindscans of witnesses to their acts
must be used to convict.  There is no objection to the lack of solid, memory-
recalled proof of their crimes, because it is generally known that they just
plain don't have a trace of well-meaning in whatever heart they have.  Every
instance of there appearace has been in the act of robberies, joy killings,
mass harassment, and other crimes.
        These creatures seem to be based on a moderately potent acid.  They are
kept in special cells, and are tended to by Obsidienne guards, because they
leave behind pools of acid as they move about, and can spit this fluid a short
distance.  They appear as unsightly, green, shaggy humanoids and are fairly
smart.  They have achieved interstellar travel, and quickly learn the use of any
weapon, or GunArmor.  Their language has yet to be deciphered.
        The generally accepted name for this race is derived from the first
descriptions of them by the Terrans (WAlking @Slime/Sh__/Shit\ piles).
Kahoolawe is the only available facility able to contain them; they are common
as the entire country's convict-WaSP population is confined here.

Mr. Tzac:
        This ancient being was the first extra-planetary creature to be
known as such by the Terrans.  Mindscans to determine its planet of origin
revealed only the message "@I ain't telling/Go to Hell/Fuck you\!"
        Mr. Tzac can communicate telepathically (an apparent natural mindscan)
but rarely bothers.  It is kept in a soundproof cell because it has a screech
that can paralyze from a moderate distance.  It should only be approached when
necessary, and in full gunarmor, as it can kill an unarmored Human or Small with
a single, powerful bite.
        Tzac was first encountered by the Terrans on their Australian continent
in the early 21'st century.  It seemed friendly at first and communicated the
typical "Take me to your leader" @message/crap/bullshit\.
        The Australians organized a ceremony for it to meet their Prime-Minister
at which it got aquaited with him for about two minutes, then promptly decided
to eat him.  ("Take me to your leader; 'urp!!  --Thanks he was delicious!")
He so thoroughly evaded Terran officials, in the "thinghunt" that ensued, that
the Reticulans (apparently surveying or engineering the Terrans) revealed their
existence and helped them to get it captured.
        Being the first alien lifeform ever encountered, the resulting legal
mess prevented it from being executed.  It is not known how or why it has
survived this long and it is currently among some of the oldest known living
things in existence.  "Mr. (Mrs.?) Tzac" is the name it had communicated to
the Terrans.

Manton Quinn:
        The previously described "Mr. Tzac" tried to eat this supersized Terran
the moment it saw him; --he kicked it's @butt/ass/ass\!!  After Tzac shamefully
avoided him for a few years, he commanded Tzac's respect and soon became either
a friend or a master to it (we're not sure which, but they always hang out
around each other when permitted).
        Manton was the product of an abusive childhood.  He ran away from his
parents prematurely (many Terrans do for some reason) and became an enthusiast
of cybernetics in his adolescence.  He saturated his body with a wide variety
of steroids and growth hormones, sterilizing himself and raising his aggression.
        In the course of his interest in cybernetics, he has aquired a steel-
reinforced skeletal system, enhanced strength and dexterity, and a computer-
enhancement to his criminal mind.
        Mindscans once revealed his ties to interstellar terrorism, organized
crime, and many serious crimes, until he had his skull shielded.  The years
of drug and hormone use have caused him to grow to an enormous size, and he
is currently the largest known intelligent being in existence.  He is strong
enough to smash an Obsidienne into rubble with a single blow, and even guards in
full gunarmor keep at a distance as a sharp, unremovable, diamond enforced
claw is attached to his artificial skeleton in the right arm, --it can pierce
a layer of heavily reinforced steel.
        The Stellar Police suspect him to be maintaining a terrorist ring from
within the confines of Kahoolawe.

________________________________________________________________________________

- Smalls and WaSPs don't need to be skilled in a weapon.  A Reticulan electrical
        jolt can paralyze an Obsidienne and cause injury or death to a Terran.
        Reticulan officers can often best control their own race when unarmed.

- Any large rock could be an Obsidienne under concealment.  WaSPs have been
	seen to flow down into the guise of a large acid puddle.

- WaSP acid can be quickly evaporated by fire.  It is known that fire can be
        very effective against this creature.

- An Obisidienne on either side of the law can get a stranglehold on anyone who
        doesn't back out of reach fast.

- Punches by Obsidiennes can severely injur a Terrain, kill a Reticulan, and
        badly damage gunarmor.  The electrical punch of a Small won't hurt much,
        but   W I L L   paralyze (other Smalls are immune).
