News Update - Latest Developments on the Gekko Mystery - Últimos Avances sobre el Misterio de Gekko
October 28 - SD News:
In yet another unexpected turn of events the Coalition of Friends and Family of the Gekko announced the hiring of the famed crime investigator Joe Nosey, citing their dissatisfaction with the pace and performance of the Police investigation.
Mr. Nosey was taken to the scene of the crime and to the hospital room where His Geckiness was being cared for, and he was overheard muttering: "Adverbs - it is always the adverbs". When a reporter asked him what he meant, Mr. Nosey looked startled, and after a long pause he replied: "Wouldn't you say it is bothersome that the doctor looks like he just graduated from high school?". Mr. Nosey ignored all further questions and simply proceeded to examine the area in great detail.
In a separate press conference, Grammar Police Director Col. H. Klum offered a brief statement and refused further questions: "The hiring of Mr. Nosey constitutes an irregular procedure. We were not consulted about this decision, and no qualified deputies were designated to handle the case. I am therefore changing the category of this investigation from 'Homicide' to 'Missing Person'. The investigation will be handled accordingly."
In related news, SD News has learned that an as yet unidentified person, probably related to the New Zealand underworld, was spotted smuggling a suspect that closely matches the description of "Mr. K", accused of shooting Gekkosan.
As of yet, this and other reported sightings of Mr. K remain unconfirmed. The COFFG spokesman has also said that reports that claim that Mr. K was in fact part of a huge publicity stunt are "Lies, nothing but vicious, stinking lies spread by questionable people intent on soiling His Geckiness impeccable reputation!".
It was also reported that the members of COFFG requested a restraining order against the National Inquisitor's reporter, Jy Sul, citing the need for privacy and the inability to cope with his unrelenting questioning .

En otro giro inesperado de los eventos, la Coalición de Familiares y Amigos del Gekko anunció la contratación del famoso investigador criminalista Joe Nosey, alegando insatisfacción con la velocidad y el desempeño de la investigación policial.
El Sr. Nosey fue llevado a la escena del crimen y al cuarto del hospital donde se estuvo atendiendo a Su Geckidad, y se le pudo escuchar murmurando: "Adverbios, siempre son los adverbios."
Cuando un reportero le preguntó qué quiso decir, el Sr. Nosey pareció sorprendido, y tras una larga pausa respondió: "¿No diría usted que es preocupante que el doctor parezca recién graduado de la escuela secundaria?". El Sr. Nosey ignoró todas las preguntas subsiguientes, y simplemente procedió a examinar el área en gran detalle.
En una conferencia de prensa separada, la Directora de la Policía Gramática , Col. H. Klum, ofreció una breve declaración y se rehusó a contestar preguntas adicionales: "La contratación del Sr. Nosey constituye un procedimiento irregular. No fuimos consultados sobre esta decisión, y no se designaron delegados calificados para manejar el caso. Por lo tanto cambiaré la categoría de esta investigación de 'Homicidio' a 'Persona Desaparecida'. La investigación se llevará a cabo de manera acorde."
En noticias relacionadas, SD News averiguó que una persona aún no identificada, posiblemente relacionada con el bajo mundo Neo Zelandés, fue vista transportando clandestinamente a un sospechoso que se aproxima mucho a la descripción de "Mr. K", quien ha sido acusado de dispararle a Gekkosan.
Hasta el momento, ni este ni otros reportes de avistamientos de Mr. K han sido confirmados. El vocero de la COFAG también ha dicho que los reportes que afirman que Mr. K es en efecto partícipe de un gran truco publicitario son: "¡Metiras, nada más que mentiras malvadas y apestosas que están siendo regadas por gente cuestionable empeñada en manchar la reputación impecable de Su Geckidad!"
También se reportó que los miembros de la COFAG solicitaron una orden inhibitoria contra el reportero del Inquisidor Nacional, Jy Sul, alegando la necesidad de tener privacidad, y la incapacidad de lidiar con sus preguntas incesantes.

URGENT----GEKKOSAN UNMASKED
Chicago (CP)--Curioser and curioser unfolds the story of Gekkosan, who remains under police guard following yesterday's shooting. Chicago police admit today that the catagorization of the crime as a hoax "may have been a rush to judgement". In the words of Lt. Marianne Reasoning of the CPD., though, "There sure is something fishy about the whole matter."
But the allegaion of the shooting possibly being an inside job pales in comparison to today's bombshell revelation regarding Gekkosan. We have incontrovertable proof that the formerly highly-regarded Gekko is not a Gekko at all!
This publication has paid for undercover photos taken by one of Gekko's nurses in the Critical Care Unit. We have confirmed the accuracy of the photos. The nurse, who has been guaranteed anonymity, said today, "When I saw the patient today, I knew that he was not who he said he was. Yesterday's wounds were quite extensive, necessitating the amputation of his left rear leg. For a while, his condition was touch and go. I lit a candle myself for the poor little guy when my shift ended yesterday. But when I came in this morning to check his wound, I saw that his limb had regenerated overnight! It was then that I realized that he was not a Gekko after all, but an Axolotl Salamandar!!"
We contacted the Gekko's mother, who was waiting outside of the Intensive Care Unit with the Coalition of Friends and Family of the Gekko (COFFG). She tearfully admitted that he had indeed been adopted, but denied further comment, except to say, "We are as shocked as anyone else...we always just thought he was funny-looking. But no matter what he's still our son and we'll try to love him. This is a stressful time for us all."
Others of the COFFG were seen leaving the hospital, one muttering,"Who knows? Perhaps he deserved it. Axolotl Salamandars have never been known for their truthfulness."
Tonight's planned candlelight vigil has been postponed until further notice.
In further developments, members of the New Zealand underground, most notably Kiwi Girl, moll of the notorious Downunder Ray deny reports that they have aided in the flight of Mr. K., who is still believed to be the nephew of Gekkosan publicist Kitty Kat. "We don't even like cats around here," maintains Kiwi Girl.
Los informes contradictorios mantener emergentes y las imágenes parecen confirmar las afirmaciones de que el Gecko ha sido avistado en la isla tropical y se encuentra actualmente esconced en un resort de lujo.
Conflicting reports keep emerging and images seem to confirm claims that the Gecko has been spotted on tropical island and is currently esconced in a luxury resort.
****Los amigos íntimos de la Gecko que no desean ser identificados decir que a pesar de su apariencia de ser un basnick el estrés está exigiendo un precio alto y que está empezando a mostrar su edad,**
Close friends of the Gecko who do not wish to be identified say that despite his veneer of being a basnick the stress is taking it's toll and he is beginning to show his age,
y temen por su salud, dada la abundante cantidad de alcohol que ha estado consumiendo últimamente.
and they fear for his health given the copious amounts of alcohol he has been consuming lately.
Constantemente teme descubrimiento y dicen que no pasará mucho tiempo antes de que él está de nuevo en la carrera!
He constantly fears discovery and they say it won't be long before he is again on the run!
I am in complete and utter shock! Unfortunately, I was under the weather yesterday and feeling sorry for myself. 
Little did I know that His Geckiness was suffering at the hands of such an evil villain! How dare I be so self-centered when our most beloved gecko is being unfairly persecuted!
And to think that Mr. K (as he likes to call himself) was first spotted in a thread created to help avoid accidents! That irony has not escaped me. 
Well I am back and I will now be glued to this story as it unfolds. Candles have been lit in honor of our cherished Gecko. As I have contacts in the Philadelphia underworld, let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
.Mr. K remains in hiding. He has constructed many unrecognizable disguises and his felon cat friends will stop at nothing to keep his whereabouts a secret. Many of them have donned disguises and have infiltrated the close circle of people surrounding the infamous Gecko. When the time is appropriate Mr. K will blend into society once again. What happens then remains to be seen.
Mr. K gets advise from a felon cat friend.
If you hear a buzzing late at night it just might be Mr. K.
Some of us were looking forward to writing Gekko's tale, but it looks like somebody did it already.
Algunos de nosotros estábamos esperando a escribir cuentos de Gekko, pero parece que alguien ya lo hizo.
Las noticias siguen espeluznantes.
La comunidad gekkiana de mi colonia sigue oculta en el alcantarillado.
Los rumores siguen a millón.
Yo sigo comiéndome las uñas y pegada a la computadora.
Habiendo escuchado las noticias sobre la desaparición y posible muerte de su amado creador Geckosan, el elefante temía lo peor. El pobrecito estaba tan descorazonado que se refugió en la casa del árbol de su infancia y lloró a moco tendido. Las lágrimas gigantes cayeron como lluvía sobre la tierra debajo y fuertes sollozos, gangueados y resoplidos resonaron en toda la selva.
Having heard the news about the disappearance and possible death of his beloved creator Geckosan, the elephant feared the worst. The poor thing was so heartbroken that he he took refuge in his boyhood treehouse and cried his eyes out. Gigantic tears rained down on the earth below and loud sobbing, snuffling and snorting reverberated throughout the jungle.
"Drat it," undercover agent Joe Nosey muttered as he struggled with Pensamientos - Thoughts (84). "Those adverbs again." He thought back to happier times during a chicken catching contest in which he was awarded the pullet surprise. "Ah, those were the days." He took a sip of port.
As the smoke from his pipe encircled his head he pondered the name "Geckosan". "Hmm", he recalled, "This gecko must be a master of disguises.
All this time I have been looking for the mysterious Mr. K when the real culprit of this master hoax is the slippery lizard. San is an honorary suffix used in the olden days of Japan, perhaps he is really a shogun warrior. We may have to rename him ‘Gecko-sama’,"
Master detective (yep, got a promotion) Joe Nosey, checking his computer, noticed a PM from Col. H. Klum telling him he was on the wrong track again. He stood suddenly, clutched his throat, smashed his glass of port in the fireplace and looked at his pipe. "What have I been smoking?", he wondered. "I need to find some music to post on International Café."
Meanwhile, the slippery lizard was far far away.
Exijo discreción completa. Mis pesquisas son secretas! Cuando llega el tiempo apropiado, saltaré como un gato al cazar un ratón!
I demand complete discretion! My inquires are secret! When the appropriate time arrives I will strike like a cat hunting a mouse!
