Bishop Five> …while the cipher was invalidated at 1100 Lambda, we were able to decrypt messages for about 3 hours for the cell in question. We've started building an org map and for now codenamed the only known handler as 'Black Knight' until identity can be established. While analysis is ongoing our triage AI was able to spot an ongoing operation that we can interrupt, hence the scramble order. Meet Franc Beulix, partner in the Blan'queli syndicate. He's currently in the middle of a standoff with Phyrin Organized Crime squads at the residence of a rival syndicate. It appears he's been part of a kidnapping-gone-wrong, but our intel dump contains payment details meaning the USC is footing the bill for this mess. Syndicates receiving outside help is no surprise, but we need to know if this association is just to stir up trouble, or a more strategic relationship. Gustav has the tactical details.

Knight Six> Organized Crime has the building surrounded and has confirmed that all non-combatants were murdered prior to their arrival, but they're currently only negotiating and show no signs of planning an take-down. Given OC's usual reputation for shooting first and letting God sort out the guilty, we suspect that Mr. Beulix may have dirt on local authorities who are holding OC back. If he applies enough political pressure he could slip the noose and we lose our only lead on Black Knight, so we'll secure the residence ourselves. Make every effort to bring Mr. Beulix into custody alive, but standard assault rules of engagement apply otherwise. Oh, and we've taken a marker out with RANGECOM and have ranger Noir on-call. He's a member of the well-respected Giant squad and an ethnic Phyrin so should be able to invoke an emancipation on the parish government without triggering a riot…if that becomes necessary.
