11:11 <ERIS> @Cmdr Davidson Transports have arrived on Horizon and your mechs are on the ground. IMPSEC have secured Horizon's landing pad and extracted prisoners, however the local population is in a state of unrest. Protesters have seized Horizon's atrium, the central hub of the installation. Horizon security forces are currently standing down, and IMPSEC has withdrawn to the landing pad.

11:12 <IMPSEC Actual> @Cmdr Davidson My forces will keep the LZ secure. Once LMG arrive on site, restore order in the colony. You're clear to arrest agitators and use non-lethal force. Be on the lookout for heavy armaments, and seize any and all weapons. 1mc for each gun found, and 1,000mc for any WMDs confiscated.

11:29 <ERIS> Incoming message from Horizon.

"This is Gerald Bush of the Union of Ashby Miners and Teamsters. What the hell is going on? Are we out of a job or what?"

Transmission

"Under the circumstances, you are. All mining operations on Horizon are suspended until further notice."

Transmission

"Further notice? How in the fuck long is that?"

Transmission

"Until I say otherwise. Tell your people to return to their homes and submit to a weapon sweep. Now clear this channel."

((Carver is ordered to arrest the wanted personnel on the ship, and see the ship return to Ashby. Once back with Sword Fleet, IMPSEC will take the prisoners off your hands.))

"Let me provide you with some clarity, Commander Nought. Walsh is merely a front man for the AMC, as are many in the Ashby Colonial Authority. Now I gave Walsh an opportunity to choose his side. He chose poorly. You're right about one thing, Nought - You all have a job to do. Extract all files from AOS control terminal, or is that going to be an issue?

"Commander Carver, execute all arrest warrants on that ship. It's likely Walsh has absconded with the remaining AMC board of directors.

Commander Davidson, its a distinct possibility that these miners have some heavy armaments. Be on the lookout and be prepared for use of lethal force."

"This is Chaiman Walsh, hold your fire! IMPSEC is conducting an illegal occupation of Ashby, fabricating evidence, and arresting innocent people! Please, for the love of God, let us go!"

10:26 <ERIS> AMC ship is heading for the FTL Shipping node near the Kentaurus Star.

10:12 <IMPSEC Actual> Copy that Federation. I have dropships enroute for pickup. Commander Davidson, load up your mechs commence peace keeping operations on Horizon. Commander Carver, your troops will be welcome support. Commander Terren, please ensure prisoners are loaded as well.

10:14 <ERIS> SITREP: Nightwolf operatives have secured the Administration wing of AOS. Station Chief Oslo, AMC CEO Cedric Hart, AMC CFO Alex Wice have all been placed under arrest and are awaiting transport.

ALERT

10:17 <ERIS> ALERT! I have detected a ship signature departing Ashby Colonial Starport. Scans indicate a passenger ship registered to Ashby Mining Collective. Bringing up a visual.



10:18 <IMPSEC Actual> Commander Carver, kindly intercept that ship on your way planet side. Use of lethal force is authorized.

10:01 <ERIS> SITREP: Federation forces have boarded and secured Ashby Orbital Station without incident. Station security teams have stood down, and station administrators have given control of the station to the Federation, and relinquished employee and passenger manifests. IMPSEC forces are currently working to secure Horizon.

10:02 <ERIS> Incoming message from IMPSECCOM...

Transmission

"Commanders, I've looked over the manifests, and did some digging into Ashby Mining Collective, and discovered a suspicious paper trail that suggests they are backing Ruban and his terrorist activities. I am ordering their board of directors to be arrested. Most of them are on that station, while some others are here on Horizon. I'm forwarding warrants to Federation PDAs. Get them done without compromising the station.

"We have some civilian unrest here on Horizon, some demonstrators are obstructing IMPSEC officers. I need a company planetside to diffuse the situation by any means necessary. Baines Out."

10:04 <ERIS> A total of 22 station occupants are to be arrested, including Station Chief Oslo, AMC CEO Cedric Hart, AMC CFO Alex Wice. Subjects should be identified, arrested, and detained for pick up by IMPSEC officers.

10:05 <ERIS> Incoming transmission over the broadband...

"Attention residents of Horizon. The Ashby Mining Collective has been found to be under suspicion of supporting terrorist activity. All AMC personnel are to cease operations immediately and submit to IMPSEC officers for a background check. Failure to do so will result in arrest. All residents are to return to their quarters and remain their until ordered. Failure to comply will result in arrest. Comply or face the consequences."

IMPSEC Comms

"This is Chairman Walsh to Director Baines. What the hell is going on?! AMC are not terrorists! This is a public company invested by the colonists of Ashby. Their financial records are a matter of public disclosure for God's sake! I demand to know what proof you have that they're indeed funding terrorists."

Transmission

"You don't get to make demands of me, Chairman. The details of the ongoing investigation will be released once I am satisfied the operation is concluded. Now I suggest you watch your tone and work to instill calm in your colonists."

Transmission

"This is utter bullshit. Don't think I don't know what you're doing. You haven't heard the last of this from me!"

Transmission

"Oh I'm sure I have, perhaps your comrades in Helix will lend a sympathetic ear. You're under arrest for obstruction. Will you surrender, or do I have to send a team to pick you up?"

Transmission

"What?! You can't... You couldn't possibly... Oh shit!"

08:31 <Commander Carver> Baines, AOS entries and exits? Suspected ships boarded? Thanks.

@Dark Light

08:33 <IMPSEC Actual> Baines to Carver, AOS consists of eight docking pylons and a small hanger bay. There is currently one freighter docked and seven pylons open. I want an employee and resident manifest once Federation takes the station. I want to know who's on that station. Be prepared to execute arrest warrants.
