Prowler company purged the Empier research outpost of all sons of Cocytus presence today, according to it’s spokesman. The flagship came within early morning and launched its attack. Armed marines stormed the complex and took the yawning, coffee-sipping scientists by surprise. Martin Empier is quoted as saying “What the hell do you think you are doing in here you hooligans, get out of my please point that gun somewhere else, I have rights, and ace lawyers that can put you away for good no don’t touch that that’s part of the colonization project NOOOOOOOooooo look what you’ve done YOU FOOLS, you’ve broken the hyper-transmodulation unit and now the whole base is going to blow. Well, no. Actually, it’s just going to snow lightly in here for a minute. Who set the sprinkler off?” Rumors that the Prowler Company made off with data stored in the Empier compound vaults are considered falsified until proven otherwise. Apparently, before the purge was finished a bomb was detonated inside the flagship of the Prowler co. Most of the flight staff was killed in the explosion, and a new crew is in training.
Construction on Jahannam is nearing a close, and Captain Woose will soon be free to claim a government issue frigate. Apparently, the designs for a government issue utility ship designed to haul cargo and launch and recover satellites are in the works. The Emperor mentioned at a party that he had already approved a new captain to pilot one of these new craft.
Honest Boskii has mentioned in his recent net’-ads that a new kind of engine, Contra-terrene, may be available in under a year. As any theoretical physicist knows, a Contra-terrene engine is contrary to any theory remotely terran. This leads to suspicion that Honest Boskii may not be *Gasp* Honest. However, it has yet to been seen if there’s any truth to the matter.
The secret, joint colony ship effort has been launched without incident, and has slipped through the warp point with no trouble. The government did not glean any information about it’s creation, and thanks to an expert hacking job by an enterprising Empier employee, the satellite network the government uses to monitor traffic was rendered completely blind to it’s passing. The sons of Cocytus did not interfere in any way with the ship. Captain RAM was chosen by Empier representatives to pilot the expedition.
