An Attempt on Dr. Linda Peterson's Life
The disgraced scientist Dr. Linda Peterson, former head of the Rise Together Corporation research team, should need little introduction. Curious readers will hear all about hear in my three part series The Death of Surreality.
But as dangerous as Peterson is, it is this reporter’s opinion that she does not deserve death. Yet death is what she faced yesterday, and what she only narrowly avoided.
In medium-security federal prison, the attempt began when Peterson was ordered to move to a new cell. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a middle-level prison administrator admitted that the move did not follow standard protocol. Mr. Dean Richards, the chief administrator, ordered the move abruptly and gave the staff no time to take typical precautions. Peterson knew something was off. Whether she deduced this or was tipped off is currently unknown. To delay the move, she punched the concrete wall of her cell as hard as she could with her right hand, breaking several bones. This ensured she was sent to the infirmary, buying her time.
At this point, somebody saved Dr. Peterson’s life. For unexplained reasons, the cell Peterson was supposed to move in to was thoroughly searched by two guards. The future cellmate was in the cell at the time. The guards found the murder weapon: a needle filled with the nerve agent tabun. This tabun needle is becoming increasingly prevalent in our newspaper. This is likely no coincidence. Whoever is behind the tabun needles wants to send a message. The Times will document this history as it unfolds.
