The following is an excerpt from the article "Late Premier's Basement Houses Virus, Raises Controversy," written by U.P. Offin. It is found in the latest volume of Bug Crushers' Weekly, one of the Invincible Empire of Roach-Busters's most popular tabloid magazines:

"Just weeks after the sudden, unexplained, and seemingly accidental death of former premier C. Vang- which authorities now believe to have been planned by a politically ambitious naked mole rat who had previously run against President J.L. in the presidential election- authorities have discovered a secret laboratory in the basement of Vang's house. Vang, a lifelong bachelor and aloof, antisocial lone wolf who tended to evade questions pertaining to his past and private life, was an avid lover of science, and, before entering politics, was an aspiring student in a prestigious medical school, but was expelled from previously unknown reasons. Recently de-classified files reveal that Vang had been expelled- and nearly arrested- for concocting a new virus he dubbed 'duckpox.' Just what he planned to do with the virus will never be known. Some speculate that he may have been planning to use it on J.L. and Vice-President Cyprian, so he could assume the Presidency himself. But we will never know. The duckpox virus, which has been confiscated and locked away by the government, remains a mystery, in terms of communicability, mortality rate, symptoms, etc."
