Woman, 18, dies of suspected drug overdose

See and hear 16-09-YC121

An 18-year-old woman has died from a suspected drug overdose in Caille, the second such death in the city over the weekend.

The police said the teenager was taken to hospital after collapsing at the Warehouse club in the old city centre. Officers were notified the General Infirmary at 3.18am and she died a short time later, the force said.

A 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a new Khuska-based drug, called “Tangle” and remained in police custody.

Mrs Wimb of the Caille police said: “Taking illegal substances is incredibly dangerous and I would urge anyone considering doing so to think twice before doing so. We are supporting the family of the deceased.”

The death comes just 48 hours after a 17-year-old girl died from a suspected Khuska-based drug overdose at another club.

Following her death, a 17-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of supplying the drug and later released under investigation.

The deaths will increase concerns about the rising strength, purity and widespread availability of this so-called new party drug.

Police had issued a warning about “very dangerous, high strength” substance called “Tangle”, which officers said contained “up to five times the normal average adult dose of Khuska oil, but is modified into a solid powder form that is taken in pills or in drinks”.

One of our freelancers has had an interesting encounter when he visited Amarr Prime. The famous explorer Lord Jude Benayahu Aslan

When pressed as to what he was up to, Lord Jude Benayahu Aslan was cagey. “Archaeological sites of all kinds are the subject of exploration, whether it be capsuleers exploring relic or data sites, or us baseliners exploring ruins on the ground. We know that the Empire has persisted and spread for thousands of years, who knows what lost wonders remain to be re-discovered?” As he spoke, he gestured with his silver right hand for emphasis, demonstrating his Ardishapurian leanings. Dressed in a fine white, fur lined silk dining jacket and pants, the widower Holder, was flanked with two stern-faced guards and two sullen teenage Ni-Kunni servants. The guards ended the interview abruptly, as Lord Aslan and the rest of his retinue exited without further comment.

Lord Aslan’s expedition is rumoured to be visiting both the more well-known Araz constellation, known for many historical sites and ruins, as well its lesser-visited neighbors, such as the Kakol constellation, perhaps in the hopes of discovering sites overlooked by others. The expedition is well equipped, with specialists from Hedion University and the Royal Amarr Institute, teams of mechanics and technicians, as well as security, numbering close to a hundred souls.

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.

A Snippet from an article in the Pegeler Inquirer, posted 9.28.YC121

Archavoinet Security Franchise Up For Grabs
The Unified Principality of Archavoinet, a memberstate encompassing the majority of the Archavoinet solar system in Pegeler, has recently announced that it will not be renewing it’s security franchise contract with Geoffon Security Consortium ltd. at the end of the month, citing negligence and the waning efficacy of the organization over the past three years. Prior to this, GSC had held the Archavoinet Security Franchise for three consecutive five year contracts under the Principality.

This news has lead many to speculate on who the UPA may be considering to take over the security franchise, with some pointing toward Akkonite Defense Works, a small defense firm established over a decade ago that has served as private security for the Principality’s royal family for seven years now. Still others point to Windstalker Security Corp, a Capsuleer owned and operated corporation with an expansive roster of both Capsuleer non-capsuleer security operations personnel which has been based in the system for several years now.

At this time, there has been no endorsement of either from local government officials.

LAST ISLAND LOST

Reports indicate that a major hurricane struck the island archipelago of Atchafalaya, home to the city of Moisant, on Octanneve V. The area’s communications grid–and, apparently, those all over the planet–failed in the later hours of 28 September, leaving much unknown. However, volunteers who have made it to the surface have detailed extensive destruction in Moisant that was clearly caused by a major weather event.

Satellite data and images suggest that at least six independent tropical cyclones formed over a less than 24-hour period, passing over all of Octanneve V’s continents and wreaking havoc among communities large and small. Relatively cold even for a temperate planet, Octanneve V was in its “winter” period, and had been since YC120, making these storms especially unexpected. The rest of the planet seems to have fared somewhat better; the oceans did not warm nearly as quickly as they did around the Equator-straddling Atchafalaya archipelago, and thus the storms did not intensify as quickly before reaching land.

Rescue and relief efforts for Moisant specifically are being led by Viavant and Corovid Industries, both capsuleer-led corporations. Representatives of these corporations have been tight-lipped regarding the safety of the people of Moisant, and especially leadership of the city, citing “security concerns.” However, they have placed blame for the weather events squarely at the feet of one @Drake_Arson, a capsuleer known for his following of Sansha’s Nation objectives as well as for alleged acts of mass murder and human indecency. Arson has not yet confirmed or denied these allegations.

A spokesperson for Viavant claimed that Arson had been seen in the fluid router channel “The Summit” bragging to a fellow Nation loyalist that he had almost finished “seeding” the inhabited worlds of Solitude. The spokesperson alleged that this “seeding” caused the sudden atmospheric warming and other effects that allowed these storms to form, and urged other worlds in the region to be vigilant and prepare for similar disasters. There is no word yet on whether any other planets in Solitude have been thus affected.

Viavant’s spokesperson declined to offer specific numbers of the dead and missing so far, but stated that a significant number of lives had been lost already. Additionally, the spokesperson stressed that “Last Island is totally destroyed.”

Last Island was a small barrier island due south of Atchafalaya’s main island and the only one of the River Saighead’s inhabited delta islands to border the ocean itself. It was a popular tourist destination for locals of Moisant as well as for visitors from Mylain, and featured a number of activities, including restaurants, natural parks, and a well-outfitted marina.

Most of the buildings on the island had been raised several feet above ground level in order to better manage flooding, but the intensity of the storm ignored these standard defenses. According to the spokesperson, “not a single structure on Last Island was left standing,” and even the island’s natural vegetation has been washed away. Most of the island is now underwater.

As for the city of Moisant itself, the residential areas have sustained heavy flooding and wind damage, and the downtown area, home to most of the city’s skyscrapers, were battered by wind and flying debris. Some of the skyscrapers are suspected to be structurally unsound. Moisant’s skyport, spaceport, and transportation hub are unusable. The other islands have yet to be accounted for, as the spans connecting them to the main island buckled under the force of the storm.

Viavant and Corovid Industries have stated that they are not yet able to accept donations of supplies, but will likely call for such donations in the coming days. Their spokesperson wished to convey that “hurricane evacuation strategies worked appropriately” but also to prepare for stunning losses among the close-knit community.

Residents of Mylain and Caille with family in or near Moisant are encouraged to collect documentation and genetic samples to assist in finding and identifying their loved ones.

The ‘hurricane’ on Octanneve V is a lie!

Follow the money! The truth is out there!

Mimiko slid her data pad across the office desk, “Val, isn’t this the guy we’re working with from the Intaki Prosperity Initiative?”
Valerie gasped, “yes, that’s Bataav right there. That’s… interesting. I wonder how he will react. He has always made it clear he’s not interested in running for office.”

Verified Viriette: ‘Draft Bataav’ grass-roots campaign emerges from protests against Intaki Assembly

Navyii Akat, Intaki V, YC121 October 2 - As protests spread against the Intaki Assembly for negotiating a lease on the Kainta Yavaat Transorbital Launch Facility with the Lai Dai Corporation, an unlikely figure is focusing public attention in a positive way.

After allegations surfaced that Assembly members had been paid off by Lai Dai Corporation in connection with the controversial lease, a budding ‘draft Bataav’ movement seems to be gathering momentum among the protesters.

The slogan refers to Bataav en Gravonere, a capsuleer noted for his humanitarian and cultural activism as well as his long-standing advocacy for Intaki independence from the Federation. A small but growing fraction of protesters want him to run for office in the upcoming round of elections, though they are unable to agree among themselves whether they wish him to join the Intaki Assembly, the Viriette District Legislature, or the Federal Senate.

BataavCampaign

“I’m sick and tired of money-grubbing politicians, all the way from Roden down to the Assembly,” railed Bryylan en Welle, a local artist holding a placard he had printed off from GalNet. “They are there to represent us and what do they do? Stuff their pockets with blood money, that’s what. We need someone of integrity like Bataav instead.”

En Gravonere was unavailable for comment, but a spokesperson for the Intaki Prosperity Initiative referred to his most recent public comments where he said he doesn’t consider himself a politician.

Commander Martel;

I must approach you again to plea for the removal of the decree that the base is obliged to offer spiritual teaching in ways other than those of the tribes. I understand and to some extent approve of the idea that we must cater to each group according to their own beliefs, but the tensions these teachings cause are a major source of security work overhead and a risk to peaceful operations.

As a most recent example, last night, we had a kernherite “study group” - I’d call it a congregation by now and I am sad to report some of the staff attend - listening to their new Manifesto ([CAVTT] The Test of Faith) at about exactly the same time as we received the first group of the new refugees. It is still unclear to us why and how exactly, but while the base was busy with the incomers, fighting broke out between said group (apparently attempting to spread the good word about their ‘reforms’ and a call to arms) and others, objecting to what they saw as either heresy or dangerous appeasement to Amarrian ideals - depending on who you ask.

This is just an example, and the fight itself was quickly broken by security. Fact is still that tensions remain between these various foreign groups and tribal individuals (including most of the staff) that I have to say quite naturally and understandably object to Amarrian influences in this base.

This has been a commendable initiative, but it is becoming a strain on all of us. At the very minimum I must recommend that we start limiting staff access to spiritual events arranged by and for the refugees.

E. S.

Ervin;

I understand your concern and sympathize with your position, but I remind you that despite its origins, the base is not a tribal operation, it is a SoE Roughriders operation, and thus multinational. You cannot limit access based on your traditional views. What you can and definitely should do is screen any and all groups that practice in the camp for promotion of slavery, before someone escalates this to DN.

SHOCKING SCANDALOUS and APPALLING!

In the aftermath of the previous reporting on Lord Jude Benayahu Asla, we have received some shocking news.

Grim-faced and tight-lipped Ministry of Internal Order agents stormed the Aslan Manor, the home of the late Lord Jude Benayahu Asla in the early hours of the 9th, only days after his untimely death in the sands of Gamdis III in a horrific accident at an archeological dig.

Due to discrepancies in the preliminary audit of the Aslan Estate, suspicion has arisen that the Aslan Manor has been infiltrated by a secret cell of Purity of the Throne Cultists engaged in subversive activity against the Throne. Despite the frenetic efforts of the cultists to destroy records after Lord Aslan’s sudden demise, MIO Ordinators were able to retrieve written and electronic data which they will use to try to unravel the rest of cell.

There is suspicion that the late Lord Aslan himself may have been the leader of the cultist cell.

Surviving family members, retainers and servants were escorted from the Aslan Manor in handcuffs and restraints. The suspects were ushered into black and gold liveried vehicles with MIO seals for inquisition, trial, and the likely fate of execution and/or enslavement and being stricken from the Book of Records.

“Who’d have ever guessed that a balding True Amarr male who had a fetish for white clothing was a purity cultist?” commented a Ni-kunni baker living cross the street.

A militant nun commented “Accident? It was surely no accident,but an Act of God rendering judgment through his Avenging Angels upon the apostate traitor.”

“…And the MIO still haven’t gotten back to me about my reports of suspicious walnuts at Mr. Peanut’s Nut Store. Priorities!” complained a Khanid horse-flesh seller.
