'' | In a message to the [[Minister of Space Security]], Commander Fabian reiterates that the [[Romulus Sylvest|Sylvest]] [[Remus Sylvest|twins]] are a security risk, and should they be kidnapped by aliens, they'll either be held to ransom or have their genius exploited for nefarious purposes. | ||
In another message Fabian informs the Minister the twins have been abducted in the last two hours, meaning they should still be within range. A first-priority full-scale search with all [[Interplanetary Pursuit]] crews has been issues, with [[Hugo Lang|Lieutenant Lang]] as flight leader. | |||
'''Special Incident Room - Audio Log #1''' Fabian explains to Elena that she wants a ''thorough'' scan and ''all'' unidentified space vehicles must be ''investigated''. | |||
Fabian messages the Minister that Lang made visual contact with a [[XV773|Space Hopper Mark III freighter]] that went into [[warp drive]]. She ordered him to follow before losing [[radio]] contact. | |||
'''Special Incident Room - Audio Log #2''' Elena tells Fabian the freighter must have been modified with warp drive before informing the Commander the pursuit squadron have all been destroyed. | |||
Fabian confirms to the Minister that she has abandoned the rescue mission. | |||
Fabian informs the Minister that the Sylvest twins have been found, and Lang is alive and well and, according to him, 'King of the [[Jaconda|Planet]] of the [[Jacondan|Parrot People]]." He confirms the rest of the interplanetary pursuit squadron were killed. | |||
'''Special Incident Room - Audio Log #3''' Fabian calls Professor Sylvest and informs him the twins have been found, interrupting a party he and [[Nimo Sylvest|his wife]] are having. | |||
