“The feline thief has been busy of late, purloining everything from prized artwork to prototype robots. Entertainment mogul Oscar Goldsun recently reported that his private collection of rarities had been hit, and there are rumours that WorldCraft corporation’s vaults were somehow broken into. How that crime spree connects to this message is a mystery that we’ve yet to crack.” | “The feline thief has been busy of late, purloining everything from prized artwork to prototype robots.

=== Salvation Recruits Naval Crews === | |||
The recent counterstrike against the Thargoids has revealed that Salvation is being unofficially supported by trained military personnel. | |||
Commodore Morag Halloran was a senior officer with the Alliance Defence Force who is now working for Salvation. She sent this statement to the media: | |||
“Over the last few years, I have fought hard to protect Allied interests from the Thargoids. But every battle against them felt like a defensive measure, a holding action. I’m convinced that these creatures are more than capable of wiping us all out.” | |||
“When an entire Thargoid fleet was forced out of the Cornsar system in September, I approached the Council of Admirals about sending ships to help, but my proposal was rejected. Then Salvation contacted me directly, saying that he required military leadership and my experiences in the Coalsack Nebula made me an ideal candidate.” | |||
“Along with Lieutenant Commander Glynn and nearly a hundred crewmates, we resigned our commissions and headed for Hind Mine. I now command many others who were recruited from the Federal, Imperial and Sirius Navies to serve on the Taurus megaships and elsewhere.” | |||
“I’m aware that some will view my actions as dereliction of duty, but I believe our true duty is to stop the Thargoids at any cost. And as our recent success proves, only Salvation has the means of doing so.” | |||
The Alliance Assembly, Federal Congress and Imperial Senate have all acknowledged the loss of some military personnel to Salvation’s cause. While efforts are being made to prevent further losses, it is rumoured that potential concessions include official support for Salvation’s anti-xeno activities. | |||

Achilles Corporation! A fanciful place | |||
Where prdfit is power, no room for grace | |||
Its namesake was felled by a lucki arrow | |||
As this corporation’s fortune grows narrow | |||
Surveillance is the crime for which it must pay | |||
Monitoring those who dare get in tho way | |||
For figures too mighty to speak of aloud | |||
Each secret indeed is o-so loud | |||
A prototype robot Achilles did lose | |||
To a merry thief who can take what they shoose | |||
And now to you, my friend, a share of the spoils | |||
Some goodies and gifts to help in your toils | |||
