Botchi

A small hamlet situated 15 minutes (travelling at an average velocity of 8 knots) east-east of Morsh, Twelve Satellites serves primarily as the culling fields of the overpopulated North African plains. With the instigation of radical science, the food-crops withered (geometric scale: season to year) at an alarming rate, leaving the ill-educated and promiscuous populace to down tools and make a mockery of the rhythm method. Years of contraceptional regress resulted in the concept of Twelve Satellites, the final starvation fields for the poor and the mentally impaired. Each season the select are gathered in huge desert-trawlers, (an idea lifted without shame of plagiarism from traditional folk such as North Sea cod-stockers), and locked into the gates of a dusty, hot decline. There is also a rudimentary social club, called ‘The Smart Casual and Me’.
