 * About one thousand fish per year have died during each of the last five years.
 * Most of the dead fish have washed up on the shores near Synchrony (SINK-krony) City.
 * The people who live in the Gray Area are bothered by the bad smell, and worried that all the dead fish might mean that something is wrong in their environment.
 * Autopsies have been ordered on the samples of dead fish from all bodies of water, but the results will not be back for at least a month.
