PRA Unveils Hi-Tech Museum
-Misato Torelli

Proving finally that contractors can (occasionally) finish a project on time, Pale Rider Arms opened the long-awaited Otagian Museum of Natural History a full three weeks ahead of schedule today. The museum is home to Otagia's largest public collection of prehistoric animals, beautifully preserved and on display. The exhibit includes a one-of-a-kind prehistoric petting zoo, populated by realistic hi-tech robotic replicas of numerous prehistoric and extinct animals, from archaeopteryx to the Quagga zebra.

The crowning acheivement of the Otagian Museum is Steps of Man: Evolution. Taking the viewer on a wonderful journey through the history of life on this planet, from the first life in the oceans to modern man, the exhibit uses a wonderful mix of light shows and living creatures, androids and artefacts. The show imparts its lesson with a healthy dose of fun, wowing guests with the wonders of modern technology while teaching about the ancient origins of life.

In a suprising display of generosity, Pale Rider Arms has opened the museum to all Otagian citizens free of charge. PRA CEO Daniel Quetzal stated that it was time for Pale Rider Arms to give something back to the community. Mr. Quetzal was present at the ribbon cutting ceremony, where he introduced noted scientist Erin Tarn, personally handing her the massive shears.

The museum is among the most technologically advanced in the world, and is also one of the largest, occupying an entire Thalia-pattern arcology. The museum is expected to draw tourists from across the country and globe.

Our citizens will definitely attend this new and interesting museum. We would be interested in curating a possible joint exhibit. Our Museum of Found Objects in the Mariana Trench, in Trench City, Earth, Sol System is very interested in possible collaborative exhibits.

The Museum of Found Objects consistents mainly of recovered objects from the deep sea floor and outerspace. We have recovered the original Sputnik, pieces of Mir, and the International Space Station, several space satellites from different eras several ancient Scandinvan longships, a variety of World War I and World War II Pt boats, and various objects that were lost at sea or in space from different periods in history. We have a special exhibit which shows the most common space and sea garbage as well as recycling methods. This museum is partially funded by the Interspace and Undersea Salvage and Recovery Cooperative in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture.

Regards,

Barbara Ohyes, Minister of Culture
