DISASTER! ASLAN EXPEDITION LOST. ONLY TWO SURVIVORS.
Word has trickled in to our intrepid freelancer following the exploits of the Aslan Expedition that on September 3, YC 121, the expedition was lost with all hands. The unexpected disaster was due to catastrophic technical mishaps with excavation equipment and the site’s unstable geology. It occurred while the expedition was in the process of painstakingly recording and carefully archiving data in the interior of a relic site in the wilderness of the desert world of Gamdis III.
In Dam-Torsad, black drapes were hung on the Lord Aslan’s manor. Smoke poured from its chimneys while grim-face retainers, entering to and fro, refused to comment to our freelancer.
Thus, our intrepid reporter traveled to Gamdis III to its primary spaceport to uncover more information about the ill-fated expedition.
MIO agents involved in the investigation of the disaster were housed at an inn in town of Yelsie Som. While tight-lipped and grim, a MIO spokesperson did speak with the reporter. The MIO spokesperson indicated that the collapse of the relic site was total, fatally pulverizing all of those within and destroying all data and any items of value. The only two survivors were two teenagers who had been on water duty, fetching water from a near-by oasis. The MIO spokesperson expressed gratitude to Khimi Harar for their tireless Search and Recovery efforts, and other assistance in the aftermath of the disaster. The Executrix of Khimi Harar had been on vacation in the world and was among the first on the scene to render aid and mobilized response forces.
The MIO spokesperson stated that at this point, the investigation on Gamdis III is concluded, with the verdict being that it was a terrible and unfortunate accident. Yesterday a MIO shuttle reportedly departed with evidence gathered from around the site and data for further analysis and archiving in the Throne Worlds.
