xxFACTS & FANCY
The Trio Islands were founded by having people sent there against their
will. If there were any infractions in the community, and it was voted
that the person should have some time to think about their attitude, they were
asked to take a skiff to the Trio Islands voluntarily. A number of unique
communities emerged from these people who, more times than not, chose not to
return to Shoppolis East and West. They formed their own replica of the
Executive Staff and elected a Director. Oddly, this organization became
the one that eventually served as the model for the current system. It
worked so well, that the other islands joined in and replicated a form for
themselves.
Trio's south island is also the home of one of the
four impressions on Loobloo, the resident high-rise rock. Malchik was the
original site of the recovery facilities for those who chose to go to the
islands. A second was formed at Pupchik, and both were overseen by Greg
Macy, who at 15, was a hulking giant whose job on the Prize Mary was Loblolly,
the person responsible for body parts during occasions of battle. His
inability to remain out of trouble, caused him to be confronted by the Executive
Staff. He agreed to go to the Trio and remain until he felt he was ready
to return. In the first few weeks, he wandered about until he began to
realize that he needed others, but he reacted to this realization in the most
amazing manner for a young man his age.
When the skiff arrived with another candidate for self-therapy, Greg asserted a
set of rules that took the man by surprise. Brett Magnolia, at 39, one of
the older crew members, seemed amused by this large boy, and he made some
comment that was met with a series of moves that took Brett off-guard. It
was a matter of moments, that Brett returned to the skiff, and stated flatly
that he would rather watch his behavior than deal with this "oaf of a
monster." In the next few months, Greg Macy managed to
"straighten out" a number of individuals including a frustrated woman,
Barbara Gross, a boisterous and buxom former maid. At 19, she was quite a
site, and oddly, she found him an appealing lad. She sent the skiff back
to Shoppolis and remained on the south Trio.
The two united in marriage
one year later, parented five children of their own, and reversed the lives of
countless social rejects. As they learned more and applied more, Ootkee
was formed, then Fergie, then Comfort, then Garbotch and Bloopus. The
last, Yogi, actually included a medical clinic. Today, Trio Islands hosts
the medical industry of SI, and the main building is the Greg and Barbara Macy
Building. The two never left, but their children did. All five
became physicians, and the dynasty continues today with a number of noted
research and practicing physicians world wide including some in the world's
penitentiary system.
