Deputy v. Demographer

Did you know, says the Demographer, that we haven't been able to get a solid census of this area for over six decades? the Demographer asks the Deputy. The towns are difficult, he continues, but the outland regions - locations like this, for example, are nearly impossible. All we can go by is rumor and speculation. That leads to poor data.

The Deputy, who skipped out of the last census taking, grunts.

We think there are about a thousand in the woodland areas to the east. Again, it's impossible to tell for sure. Between the hunters and trappers, hermits and recluses, let alone the primitives? It's anyone's guess.

But, he claps his hands, its the way it goes, huh?

They raise their guns, their guns go off.
