Paquin Mercury Reports
When Deebrane String's disabled ship
crashed into the Keajra Sea, the Phoenix Acolyte was left in a coma for a week.
Chief of Staff Fa-Le Yan jumped to the conclusion that the Orions were attacking
and had kidnapped their High Priestess. Now, the High Priestess is making plans
to handfast with the same Orion Ambassador Yan accused of kidnap. Yan seems to
be looking for another story to cover up or distract attention from her hasty
actions.
Recovery operations continue in the Keajra Sea. Reports of a
giant custom-built salvage vessel, named by some sources as the Extromar
Explorer, cannot be confirmed. Unnamed sources have revealed to this
investigative reporter that the bulk of String's ship has been recovered. Flight
recorders may confirm that the attacker was not Orion, but a Romulan revenue
cutter on legitimate anti-piracy patrol.
Resistance, Flight,
Breach Of Arrest, And Escape
The Romulan cutters apparently hailed
and asked String to heave-to. The Acolyte seems to have ignored the lawful order
and fled. The cutter may have fired warning shots that were also ignored.
Finally, the Romulan disabled String's ship but broke off pursuit as String
entered Alliance-controlled space.
String admitted to knowing at the time
the pursuers were Romulans. However, String refuses to discuss the reasons for
being in Romulan-patroled space or for fleeing from the patrol. When given a
chance to comment, Yan relied on her usual formulation, saying she can “neither
confirm nor deny the presence of any activity” around String's ship. She added
“I am unfamiliar with what Deebs might have said as she was coming out of the
coma.”

Ship Crashes Near Earth Islet, Rumors Ship Was Shot Down
EARTH ISLET - Phoenix Acolyte Deebrane String was admitted to Keajra Hospital in Spinwheel City today where she remains in stable condition, in the coma induced by regeneration treatment. Registered Companion Zai Xian remains at her Taksimi's side.
Early this morning, Chief of Staff Fa-Le Yan heard Deebs's mayday calls as her ship entered the Paquin system, already disabled and out of control. Deebs's great skill as a pilot allowed her to ditch her crippled craft safely in the Keajra Sea near Earth Islet..
Spinwheel Search and Rescue were quickly able to locate the Phoenix Acolyte, who had ejected just before impact, and transport her to the hospital. Yan has sealed the crash site, forbidding entry to everyone, including the commanding officer of Alliance cruiser Zheng He, who has promised repercussions from Yan's adamant refusal.
When asked about the report from a source wishing to remain anonymous that Deebs was being fired upon by a hostile craft as the Martian neared Paquin, Yan refused comment, and when pressed about the nature of the damage to Deebs's craft, Yan replied sharply that she can neither confirm nor deny the existence of any craft, damaged or otherwise.
The uncooperative Guild Chief of Staff also refused to acknowledge any link between the suspicious crash and the overdue return of the High Priestess. When the total failure of communications links to the Orion home world of Rigel VII was mentioned, Yan stated that the Orions are allies of the Companion's Guild and the High Priestess has accepted the Orion Ambassador as an honored guest. She claimed that there is no connection between the simultaneous communications blackout, disappearance of the High Priestess, and the damage to Deebs's craft.
The Cortex News Service will continue to investigate these mysteries, and will bring you up-to-the-nanosecond coverage of the Guild administration's coverup of these important events as they develop.

Guild Timetable now rolling!
There are too many Companion's Guild events to only publish the timetable twice a month, so from now on it will be rolled out whenever it needs updating :-) A new edition is available at all the usual places (Boat Dock, dorms, Lotus Station, Tsuyu, Castle Rock)
Firefly-class ship in Spinwheel
SPINWHEEL - There is a Firefly-class parked above Central Plaza in downtown Spinwheel. The ship is there as part of the celebrations for the registration of Ti Qi Companion House on Dragon's Egg. Registered Companions will be having a banquet on the ship which will stay in Spinwheel for the rest of the month.
It did come as a bit of the surprise to Spinwheel Mayor Tillery Woodhen, who hadn't been advised of the plans. The mayor's office didn't return waves requesting comment, but people in the apartment below the mayor's penthouse at the Paquin Arms were awakened by a sudden yell. They're not sure what he said, but the did hear this clearly, "Where the hell did that come from! Wait, is that my car? They landed on my gorram CAR?!?"
The mayor was last seen being led to his office by aides carrying large bottles of mao tai.
Residents and tourist are welcome to visit the ship during its time in Spinwheel.

U-Day Celebration in Spinwheel
Paquin Mercury
SPINWHEEL CITY (CNS) -- His Honor, Mayor Tillery Woodhen, stood on the steps of Spinwheel City Hall next to a silent and unsmiling Chief of Police this morning to read a prepared statement.
"Thanks to the unmatched dedication of our police force, equipped with the latest in crowd control technology developed by Linden Laboratories, a subsidiary of Blue Sun specializing in law enforcement, the inhabitants of our Spinwheel City are safer this Unification Day than they have ever been before.
"No one -- not the Acolytes, Companions, and Priestesses of the Guild, not the other citizens of the Alliance, not the gentlebeings of United Federation Starfleet, not our exotic neighbors from Extropia -- should hesitate to visit us and take part in our celebrations.
"I have instructed the Chief here to ensure that his force will not hesitate to bind by law and remove from the streets of our fair city any miscreants -- whatever the color of their coats.
"Paquin is a law-abiding member of the Union of Allied Planets and is proud to be the home of a group of men and women renowned for their skills in pleasant interco- -- er, conversation. We honor them and do our utmost to provide them with a tranquil home.
"Bless you all, and bless the Union of Allied Planets!"
------------ ((now the same message, OOC)) ------------
((Welcome to the Companions’ Guild Unification Day party! We want to take a moment to explain the ground rules for this event. They are likely different than some of the other Unification events and scenarios out there.))

Paquin Bank Victim of Robbery
SPINWHEEL - Stunner fire rattled through Paquin this morning as the Paquin Planetary Bank was robbed by what was described as four heavily armed women. Witnesses say they stormed in discharging weapons and demanded "everyone get on the f...ing floor this is a robbery"
One customer was not fast enough and was shot in the leg. The group demanded the vault be opened and took 500,000 Alliance credits before exiting the bank and boarding an awaiting shuttle in a nearby park. Authorities have no accurate descriptions other than lots of tattoos, two members have red hair, another black.
Reputation states that the girls have been robbing banks in other systems and they are an efficient crew in making no errors and are challenging.
