Bishop Five> …while the cipher was invalidated at 1100 Lambda, we were able to decrypt the cell's messages for about 3 hours. We've started an org map and for now codenamed the cell handler as 'Black Knight' until identity can be established. While analysis is ongoing our triage AI was able to spot an ongoing operation, hence the scramble order. Meet Franc'Beulix, partner in the Blan'queli syndicate. Right now he's in the middle of an armed standoff with Commonwealth Organized Crime police at the residence of a rival syndicate. It looks like a kidnapping-gone-wrong, but our intel dump contains the payment details meaning the USC is footing the bill. Pyrkagian syndicates seeking outside help is not news, 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 confirmed that no hostages are involved - all non-combatants were murdered prior to their arrival. They're currently only negotiating, though, and show no signs of planning an take-down. Given COC's usual reputation for shooting first and letting God find the guilty, we suspect that Mr. Beulix may have dirt on local authorities, who in turn are holding COC back. If political pressure succeeds and slips the noose 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 locally feared Giant squad and an ethnic Pyrkagian so should be able to invoke an emancipation on the parish government without triggering a riot…if that becomes necessary.
