Pirate Gang Hold Fishermen Hostage

If Cobra is as deadly as you have stated They could have other resource facilities, and our amazon research bases would be able to mass produce these subsistence.

HIS has launched 'Operation Cobra' to find firstly if there are any further resource plants, and if so begin surveying them.

If there are any 'Cobra' production plants, they must be found and shut down as quickly as possible, for the safety of everyone involved. Allowing these pirates and revolutionaries to finish their bomb and finalize production would be catastrophic.

Ancient language experts from Kjellstad University are being flown in to examine the old papers.

Professor Anders Axelsen has studied the cryptic writings and determined they are a dialect of proto-Germanic that was in use about 50 years before the battle of Teutoberger Wald (defeating Roman Legion). These writings, in summary, are about the concept of a doomsday cult, which may be the forerunner of the Ragnarok mythos. It may be inferred that these pirates are involved in some plot to destabilize world governments and reduce world population by two-thirds (atrocities..poisoning, terror attacks, plagues).

Is anything mentioned about the 'Cobra' liquid?

Not in the "pre-chemistry" texts. However, it would appear this liquid is in development for poisoning and terror, as a means to kill masses of people in cities.

HIS intelligence collection has found a small 'Cobra' production facility. It is operating under a false company name and produces sugar. HIS intelligence shows that there are 2 illegal floors below the factory where 'Cobra' is being produced.

Many of the employees are guards for the 'Cobra' production, but they only number 50-60 individuals.

In other news:

Sir Edward Gloria, Interior Minister passed away a few hours ago. He was admitted to PIMC on Friday after he collapsed at a meeting. Sir Gloria was placed in the ICU, and despite best efforts, passed away peacefully at 5:10PM. A cause of death will not be released to the public.

Deputy Minister Madam Amelia Walker will become the new Interior Minister shortly.

We suspect foul play, but will await test results.

Following the coroner's report to the Government, the death of Mr. Gloria will now become a criminal case. Foul play is highly suspected. A manslaughter case has been opened with Hungadada Criminal Court, the 2nd highest court in the country.

An evidence collection scheme is underway. The coroner had this to report about his findings:

"Following an autopsy, we tested Mr. Gloria's blood and found an unusually high content of salt in his blood. We have also found that the blood in certain places had turned a dark brown. This can only happen when a foreign object that has a green color has influenced the blood. We are suspecting foul play, and have opened a manslaughter case with the High Court."

"An investigation will take place into what Mr. Gloria ate and drank over the last few days, and who he came into contact with. We also ask that the family and close friends of Mr. Gloria be given privacy to allow them to come to terms with what has happened."

"Rest assured, if foul play is involved, we will find the motive and find the suspect or suspects. This act cannot go unpunished."

The DSDH and Ministry of the Interior can confirm that the browning of blood in Mr. Gloria's blood was caused by the 'Cobra' liquid. It is currently not known how the 'Cobra' got into his system, but it will be investigated

The high levels of salt have been ruled out as a suspect, as Mr. Gloria was known to consume higher levels of salt as he was older, and lacked a considerable amount of taste buds.

The mag fires have died down enough that the compound could be assaulted now. (Assuming any pirates are left alive, we calculate the temperature underground has been a steady 140 Fahrenheit for the last 5 days).

Troops are ready to raid as soon as you give the command for the go-ahead. We will avoid underground areas as the temperature is too high.

Insofar as I understand, only the underground parts have yet to be secured. Probably we should send in scouting parties in silver suits (rotating them out every 20 minutes) to check for survivors...and arrest them, of course.

We will begin sending out scout parties within 20 minutes.

Scout parties returned with 10 arrested pirates. We have finished scouting the complex and have found no survivors.


OTHER NEWS:

Former Minister of the Interior Sir Edward Gloria was laid to rest with full state honours. The investigation into his death is complete. 1 suspect has been arrested after confessing (without pressure from the state or investigators) to the murder of Mr. Gloria. HIS is currently interrogating him, in order to find out the order of events that lead up to Mr. Gloria's death.

Our suspect ("called John Doe"; his name will not be released for security reasons) has named 3 other people who are involved in the murder of Mr. Gloria. He has stated that they have already left The Republic of Hungadada. Their names: Marie Charlotte Oak, Johnathon Daniel Andrews, and Ethan Blake.

HIS has issued a red alert for these individuals. The alert states: The above individuals are wanted for involvement in the murder of Sir Edward Gloria, former Minister of the Interior. These individuals are considered armed and dangerous. If sighted, contact law enforcement immeadiatley.

A $500,000 reward is offered for information that leads to an arrest of each of the above indviduals.

A man named "Evan Black" with a suspect Hungadada passport was arrested at Kjellstad National Airport. He was taken off of Flight 831 (Hungadada Commuter Air) which was making a fuel stop, continuing on to DeutschReich. We believe this is suspect Blake. We will hold him till HIS authorities can arrange extradition (pre-granted) or, if desired, we can handle him internally, which he is VERY unlikely to choose.

HIS is communicating with the DSDH and Ministry of Foreign Affairs to organise an extradition.
We will send an HAF transport aircraft to bring this suspect back to Hungadada.

Please expect HAF Zeus (HAF 887) to arrive on 6th July at 5:30PM. The DSDH thanks the DWFP Airport Security for their vigilance and professionalism.

He will be ready. He is safely in restraints and has thus far, been disinclined to make conversation.
You may have the forged passport as evidence. It is a convincing forgery save one tiny detail. Airport security noticed the rubber stamp of Mr. McDonald's signature, predated his election by two months.
Forgery is a matter of dishonor and not looked upon with any respect at all in DWFP. (Translation: should this guy ever return here, he would be arrested and sent to our penal colony).

Forgot to mention we confiscated his checked luggage and it's full of coded computer printouts. His carry-on had a card in it with his contact who is supposed to pick him up at the airport in DR, a Mr. Josef Wurtembaden. Both will be turned over to Hungadada authorities.

Thank you for your vigilance and professionalism. We will contact the FSB and pass over intelligence that you have collected.

Rest assured, 'Blake' will never set his eyes outside prison walls.

Due to favourable winds, HAF 887 has arrived early at Kjellstad National Airport and is awaiting our prisoner Ethan Blake as well as the evidence collected from his luggage and passport. Our agent 'Purple Iron' (ask for Agent Purple Iron at the boarding stairs) will assist you with any paperwork that needs to be completed.

The $500,000 reward that was promised is also onboard the plane. It can only be collected if an agent who has security clearances that we are aware about is present (his or her name is requested)

The DSDH and the family of Sir Edward Gloria would like to thank Kjellstad National Airport Security for their vigilance and professionalism in apprehending Ethan Blake.

The DSDH and The Republic of Hungadada will bring the following charges against Mr Blake:

1. Transpiring against the state
2. Murder in the First Degree
3. Possesion of illegal weapons (6 counts)
4. Possesion of illegal substances (4 counts)
5. Possesion of dangerous substances (4 counts)
6. Perverting the cause of justice
7. Eluding Law Enforcement (felony)
8. Possesion and usage of fraudulent documents
9. Tampering with state property (2 counts)
10. Illegally modfying state documents (3 counts)

If convicted of all charges, and given maximum sentences for each charge Mr Ethan Blake will face 3 life sentences and 110 ten years WITHOUT the chance of parole.

Once again, thank you for your vigiliance. Our plane is waiting for your arrival with Mr Ethan Blake.

Mr. "Black" and luggage are turned over to Purple Iron. No paperwork is required, we pride ourselves on being a red tape free society. Good luck on the computer printouts, I'm sure many secrets are contained therein.

The $500,000 promised as a reward has been delivered to the state bank.

Thank you for your co-operation. Mr. Ethan Blake will face trial on Thursday 7th July facing a panel of justices from The Supreme Court of Law and Justice.

We are also pleased to announce that 'John Doe' was given trial and sentenced to 6 consecutive life sentences plus 70 years without the chance of parole. He is serving his sentence at the Ulta-High Security Prison Complex Lionsgate (UHSPCL). All suspects that have been detained will be imprisoned here. They will have cells in different wings, and will not be able to communicate with each other whatsoever.

The Imperial Hungadadian Navy apprehended the second suspect Marie Charlotte Oak earlier this morning.
