Location: KNS Yellowstone ; K-1.3.2-class Patrol Corvette, 300 degrees on the Outer Arm, Neran Periphery, Milky Way

Before he could even process the thought, Jody had spun towards the console and activated the internal comms. "Lieutenant, report."

The comm crackled before resolving into the voice of Second Lieutenant Alfred Breen, chief of security and ground forces on the ship. "Ensign, it isn't going well. Sergeant Sanko's team is evacuating everyone onto the fourth floor and higher; they've not met much resistance, and the only casualties were two security staff that were caught on the second floor when the intruders boarded. First Sergeant Markov's platoon... they've lost twenty men.

Franklin stood dumbfounded - under its g/sec commander, the Yellowstone carried a small security crew of eight, as well as a stormtrooper platoon of fifty. To have lost nearly half of that in under a minute was almost unthinkable. He took several breaths and spoke, "Lieutenant, the commander is incapacitated, and I am taking command of the ship. Seal all bulkheads, use any means necessary to repel the invaders. Activate regional self-destruct systems on a tripwire and timer system. Do not hesitate to damage the Yellowstone , she isn't going to survive this anyway. But perhaps we can preserve some of the crew."

After a few seconds, the voice replied, soberly, "Yes, Lieutenant."

He turned to Jody, "Have the shuttle and fighter crews activate every beacon on every vessel. We aren't going to win this by ourselves. We need to-"

Franklin never got to finish his sentence. The sound of an explosion ripped through the bridge, throwing him off of his feet and into the wall beside him. Head spinning, he looked up to see three humanoid figures jump through the former windows at the front of the bridge, weapons raised.

The intruders were at least two metres tall and armoured head to toe in dark grey, scaly suits. In their gloved, claw-like hands they held long staves with bulbs on either end. One of them raised his towards Franklin, who instinctively ducked and rolled. He heard a whooshing sound before a fireball erupted from the console that had been behind him. Scrambling for his phaser, he jumped to his feet again and fired off several rounds toward the figures. But the small whirlwind caused by the air rushing out of the room and the piercing pain in his shoulder made it impossible to aim properly; his shots careened into the walls.

"Get into the hall!" came the voice of Jody from behind him. She fired her own sidearm - a blaster - hitting one of the attackers directly in the chest, throwing him back, before pulling Franklin through the door at the back of the bridge, narrowly dodging two more fireballs. She slammed the door behind them, and they looked through the viewport. One of the soldiers began walking towards the door, but another one - seemingly the leader, stopped him. They bent down and hoisted the third one onto his feet.

"Now that just isn't fair ," said Jody - the blaster bolt had charred the front of his chestplate, but hadn't even come close to penetrating. "No wonder Markov's having a bad time."

They hunkered down as far as they could while still being able to peer through the window, hoping that the soldiers wouldn't continue straight at them. But they seemed to have been forgotten - one of the invaders walked up to a medical droid who had managed to keep itself and its patient from drifting towards the hole in the hull and batted it away with a swipe of its staff. It produced a set of what looked like chainmail handcuffs out of a pouch and bound the unconscious officer.

Various Tanician military and police installations in Laos and Burma were attacked by Vorno separatists today. All of the attacks were unsuccessful, resulting in no loss of life and insignificant damage. As retaliation Tanician police with support from soldiers (HFPE and info from the Agency End HFPE) conducted raids on the militia’s leadership’s homes. Police have arrested 100 significant leaders of the separatist militia.

Some of these leaders did not come in peacefully and got into fire fights with the police and soldiers. No one was killed but 5 police officers are in intensive care. All leaders were found with military equipment including armour, fire arms, explosives, ammo and armoured vehicles with various origins including Vorno, Tanicia, Porschestan and Atlantis. While the Vorno equipment is believed to be leftovers from the war, it is unknown how the militia was/is capable of getting the equipment from other nations in such quantities.

The Vorno government has condemned these rebels as well as denied supplying them. Tanician arms manufactures have also denied providing any arms to the rebels.

The other two advanced on the duo of remaining bridge officers, who had drawn their phasers and were backed against a side wall. They fired, but the room was losing atmosphere quickly, and they were on the verge of unconsciousness - their shots missed wildly. One of the invaders unceremoniously dispatched them with two blows of his staff, spattering the wall with blood.

All three invaders now focused on binding the unconscious officers, sweeping aside heavy medical droids like toys.

"What are they doing?", wondered Franklin aloud.

All of a sudden, the floor began vibrating, and a rumbling sound could be heard. Something was moving beyond the bridge windows. Two balls of blue light appeared, and then what looked like a cargo bay. The soldiers began dragging the bodies towards the windows, and Franklin answered his own question, "Prisoners. Or maybe hostages. We have to stop them!"

He lurched towards the door, but Jody grabbed his bad arm, sending a shard of fire into his shoulder, and he fell back in pain. "No!" she said, "They'll just kill us. I have a better idea."

"What would that be?" he gasped, massaging his bicep.

"We can follow them. Those engines, they were primitive. Not even ionic, nuclear. Their wash could hide a frigate. And our shuttles are much smaller than that."

"Fine, but we have to hurry. Let's go!"

The two jogged down the short hallway and to a maintenance hatch on the wall. Pressing a button opened it, revealing a ladder down to the lower decks, illuminated by emergency glow strips. They climbed down in silence, listening for signs of conflict, but all seemed silent. Opening the door on the third floor, they found themselves in a dark hallway. Franklin went to take a step forward, but Jody stopped him.

"Remember - this floor is trapped now. Step carefully."

Franklin stepped back into the shaft, and tapped his commbadge. A beam of light projected out from it at angles only he could see, illuminating certain areas of the hallway in green.

"Right, almost forgot."

"Well don't forget again, Lieutenant."

She activated her badge as well, and they continued down the hallway. The lower hangar bay was on the first and second floor, but it could also be accessed via maintenance hatch. It was at the very front of the ship, and they had started at the very back, but the walk held no surprises.

The hatch slid away without making a sound, and the duo dropped down onto a walkway overlooking the hangar bay, whose atmospheric containment fields were surprisingly still intact. The suspended metal pathway stretched from the front end of the fifty-metre-long bay to the rear, with a parallel one on the port side, thirty metres away. It offered a clear view down onto the staging floor, eight metres below them. On the ground were two TIE/sl shuttles, as well as two foreign craft: shuttles, or perhaps freighters, with a central bay flanked by two large barrel-like engines and four smaller ones that pointed at the ground and looked like they could swivel. At the front was a transparent sphere, most likely a cockpit, occupied by another one of the foreign soldiers. The top of the ship was not flat, but rather held a small, thick fin, perhaps a metre tall, from the front of which protruded a several-metre-long rod that extended past the cockpit and ended in a spherical bulge.

Franklin turned to the ensign, "Have you seen this design before?"

"Never. It looks so... primitive. The rod at the front looks like its from ancient Alcubierre drive designs. Coupled with what I'm fairly sure is nuclear engines - assuming this is what we saw back on the bridge - this ship looks like its from the twnty-first century."

The pair became silent as they heard a clacking noise approaching, and eight of the soldiers - morlocks, he decided to call them - appeared on the staging floor. Behind them, they were dragging five unconscious stormtroopers, including First Sergeant Markov. The leader gestured something, and the group split into two, each half boarding one of the curious ships. The boarding ramps withdrew behind them and heavy doors slammed shut. For a few seconds, nothing happened, and then the four small engines on each ship began expelling smoke and rumbling. They increased in volume until lances of fire began shooting out of them, and the ships slowly raised themselves off of the ground.

"My god," exclaimed Jody, barely audible over the noise of the motors, "are those... chemical rockets ? Those are... those are literally pre-nuclear."

The ships began moving towards the open bay doors, the engines constantly swiveling slightly to keep them upright. Once they passed through the shimmering force fields that kept the atmosphere in, they activated the main engines. Four bright blue balls of light appeared, propelling the vessels away from the hangar.

"Quick, before we lose them!"

The two scrambled down a ladder onto the main floor, still full of smoke from the primitive engines. They made their way to the nearest TIE/sl and got in.

"I was a helmsman before being first officer, I should pilot this thing," declared Franklin.

"You've got a nearly-useless arm and can't pilot anything smaller than a corvette. Leave this to me," replied the ensign.

Grumbling, he strapped himself into the copilot seat. The repulsorlifts activated with the slightest of whines, a stark contrast to the roaring of the morlocks' craft, and they smoothly exited the hangar bay, following the four glowing indigo orbs in the distance.

The police have handed over the militia leaders to the Agency. Agents are now interrogating the leaders to find out important information about the rebels including how they are receiving the foreign equipment.
---
The first Tanician A.I created many years ago has been confirmed as fit for service and has joined the Agency. Going by the (self chosen) name Jerrod, his official role is data analysis but Jarrod is in charge of much more. Some of his new roles include:

•Cyber warfare (offensive & defensive)
•Research & development (including A.I, military equipment and civilian industries)
•Cryptology
•Intelligence gathering
•Statistical analysis
More A.Is are to be created under the guidance of Jerrod. The new A.Is will be recruited by the Agency, military, police and civil industry.
