We’ve all done something illegal at home. For some of us at ECBT it is downloading the latest episodes of Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.T.E. from Burdis Prime or tearfully dismembering a Squirrel Girl cosplayer who caught your eye at the bookstore. For Orlok, it is purely about sticking one to the Council with an unconsented bit of pipework and a piece of decking that is two centimetres too high. Someone who doesn’t miss any of this is Judge Dredd…
