RLS Cook Incident Report 165

Incident Report:

Commanding Officer: Captain Lee Pederson

Vessel: RLS Cook, 55th Scout Division

Date: 10 BTP

Location: 3.1 nly north of Saint Amilie

Incident Description: Division on patrol along the Lguaçu Current reported contact with an Electra-class schooner, approaching the current from the northwest. Investigation of the ship from a distance revealed heavy damage to the sails, hull, and engines; the ship’s transponder incorrectly indicating the name as the SS Belfast. After several attempts to contact the schooner, Captain Pederson initiated boarding procedures, only for the schooner to attempt to flee. After a short pursuit, the schooner’s engines were destroyed by a torpedo strike from the Cook. A boarding party sent from the Cook was met with armed resistance from two individuals: a Felinid male, and an individual of unknown specie or gender. Both individuals were killed during the boarding.

A search of the vessel turned up no other crew members, as well as the ship’s actual name of SS Springburn, which was reported stolen 7 years prior. Investigation of the dirtied and used medical bay indicated the possibility of a larger crew that did not survive the ship’s voyage. A search of the ship’s cabins gave no indication of its affiliation or voyage, however a small gold orb of unknown purpose was recovered. The crew of the Cook, however, found that the ship’s cargo hold was converted to a considerably sized brig. Locked within some of these cells were 10 children ranging from approximately 3 years old to 16, the elders of the group visibly sedated and drugged.

Subject 1: Male toddler, appearing Human, but possessing bright orange feathered wings from his back, as well as similarly-colored hair and eyes. Body temperature is reported as being extremely high despite no outward effect on health.

Subject 2: Female toddler, appearing Human, but possessing white hair and glowing green eyes. Genetic test indicates a hybrid between a Human and an unknown species.

Subject 3: Male child, appearing to be a hybrid between a Human and a Densadron, possessing grey skin and four arms, but a more Human build.

Subject 4: Female child, resembling an Equine Satyd, however possessing the ability to alter her fur and hair color and pattern at will. A genetic, test, however, indicates they are a Human/Equine hybrid unrelated to the Satyds.

Subject 5: Female child, resembling a large purple and gold serpent with the upper half of a gold-haired human able to extend out of the serpent’s maw.

Subject 6: Male child, resembling a human with silver hair and Lupid-style ears and tail.

Subject 7:  Female child, resembling a human with brown hair and gold eyes, but with a third large furred Ursine arm attached to her left shoulder. Appears to be blind in her left eye.

Subject 8: Male teenager, resembling a two-headed, brown-furred Lupid. Appears to share a consciousness and is a single individual.

Subject 9: Male teenager, appearing to be a Procyon with batlike wings attached to his back, as well as possessing similarly batlike ears.

Subject 10: Female teenager, resembling a dark-skinned human from the waist up with dark hair, horns, and glowing orange eyes and markings, but from the waist down possesses black scaled reptilian legs and a whiplike tail. Similar to Subject 1, has a very high resting body temperature.

Resolution: SS Springburn towed to Outpost Midas with recovered victims given medical attention. Tests run on subjects, however all subjects reported memory loss during the voyage. Subjects turned over to protection services. Vessel and remaining contraband auctioned off.

Case closed, listed as an independent trafficking operation.

Addition, 7 BTP: Possible report of an individual resembling Subject 6 somehow levitating an object with his mind in a street on Rigel. No further evidence recorded.

Addition, 6 BTP: Subject 8 reported enrolling within the ranks of the Royal Navy.

Addition, 1 ATP: Subject 3 reported to have disappeared along with the RLS Summerside within the broken territories. Detainment warrant issued.

Addition, 3 ATP: Report from Treasure Planet Voyage indicates the orb recovered from the Springburn may function as a map. Advise investigators attempt to relocate said orb.

Addition, 5 ATP: Subject 8 reported missing following court martial. Detainment warrant issued.

Addition, 6 ATP: Presence of states within the Outland regions has potentially solved the mystery of the Springburn’s departure location. Unknown individual crewing the Springburn has been discovered to have been Calatian. In addition, a retest of Subject 2’s DNA confirms they are Calatian-Human hybrid. While their current whereabouts are unknown, the likelihood of Subject 2 possessing shapeshifting abilities has resulted in a Detainment warrant being issued out of caution. A similar test on Subject 1’s DNA indicates a more traditional Human/Avian hybrid, as opposed to a Nephilim.

Addition, 6 ATP: Subject 4 reported flashbacks and limited memory restoration upon seeing the emblem of the Crawraek Dynasty, describing cavernous dark halls of an unidentifiable building.
