It was bright and sunny day at the Lake of Rage, just north of Mahogany Town, as Pryce slowly walked along the long shoreline of the lake. The Lux Council Member had just finished inspecting a water treatment plant which took water from the lake, filtered it, and then pipped it into Mahogany Town. There had recently been a small outbreak of cholera in the town, and dirty, and contaminated water was often the main culprit should one contract the disease.
While, as of yet, there was no definitive proof that the outbreak was due to contaminated water being piped in from the Lake of Rage, let alone that it was this particular plant which had piped in said water, it seemed like it was just as likely a place as any to have been the source of the contamination, and so it was the first place that Pryce had chosen to inspect to determine the source of the contamination.
Having found everything to be in order, Pryce had recently exited the plant and had decided to take a short walk along the shore of the lake as he pondered his next move as to determining the contamination source. He had an ulterior motive for discovering the source of the dirty water. Given his age he was much more susceptible to such diseases than the average person, and was under no illusion that should he inadvertently contract cholera, it could very well kill him.
The toll that age had taken on his body was even felt as he walked along the lake shore and leaned slightly on his cane for support. He could still walk under his own power, but it was slightly painful to walk without the cane.
