Struck plagiarizes the A.F.R. train-cult essay

quote

‘Almost as little of irreproachable scholarly definitiveness is known about the infamous Separatist “Wheelchair Assassins” (Les Assassins des Fauteuils Rollents or A.F.R.s) of southwestern Quebec as is accepted as axiomatic about the herds of oversized “Feral Infants” allegedly reputed to inhabit the periodically overinhabitable forested sections of the eastern Reconfiguration.’

Context

The opening sentence of the Wild Conceits essay (by "G. T. Day, M.S." — Ennet House's own Geoffrey Day) that Struck is laundering for his term paper: the A.F.R. and the Feral Infants introduced in one breath as the Reconfiguration's twin under-documented legends — elective leglessness and toxic gigantism as the same kind of thing, bodies the map made.
