Mikie Rhiadra Captured

(( NPC )) Reporter Evan Tsidels



The following waves were intercepted last night while the IAV Sun Tzu was breaking for high orbit from Hale's Moon after days of a long and bloody struggle that rained down on us for the past several days - a struggle that was based apparently upon the Alliance's demands for the surrender of our Bar Manager and Editor Mikie Rhiadra. It was never made clear why they wanted her - and many colonists claim this was an illegal and extreme overuse of lethal force on the part of the Alliance.




"Alliance HQ this is Commandor Marcus Condor on the Sun Tzu - we have the package - a bounty hunter delivered it at approximately 18:20.

She appears to be in fair health - seems to have a fever and some minor injuries - the bounty hunter went to great effort to secure her in good condition - we lost several soldiers distracting the colonists and militia. What is it that makes this woman so damn important that I had to lose 72 soldiers in the process?"

"Roger Sun Tzu - I cannot answer that for you - M.I. wants you to send the package on to.... wait - stand by."


"Commander Condor is it? Disregard the last transmission... transmitting authority codes now - I will be taking over this operation. The loss of your men is tragic, but the loss of you would be even more tragic. They were expendable.

I personally found it rather amusing that you have no soldiers capable of capturing and holding a small colony long enough to accomplish your mission."



"Roger Sir - - I had no idea this was of the magnitude that... My Command is at your disposal"


"Very good then commander - treat the prisoner well - and see that she is tended to medically - we will be arriving to take custody late tomorrow. A ship with our medical specalists is already enroute to your location. Be very clear on this Commander - she is not to be questioned, interrogated or medically treated beyond standard health protocols - are we clear?"

"Yes sir, I will have her tended to and we will have her in our maximum security brig - Sir - what do I call you if any issues arise - there is no name... I understand with security protocols but... "


"You don't call me at all, Commander"
-end wave-

Other communications indicate that the Bounty Hunter was here among us on Hales during the Alliance assaults leading up to this event - possibly even fighting along side with us to cover his ruse.

A brief intercepted transmission, apparently from the bounty hunter - would seem to indicate that he used a Stun Gun, similar to the old Mark 902 Tasers to silently capture Mikie while other colonists were away battling the Alliance.

This is a tragic chain of events for all of us, and our Mayor has repeatedly stated she will be reporting this to the highest levels of Alliance authority. Some colonists and independents were heard to be rumbling about attempting a rescue mission.

When asked for his opinion on the issue - Mikies husband, Cobb Compton, pushed this reporter aside and took off in the direction of the Rhiadra-Compton estate on the far side of the moon..
