Wed. Apr 25, 3049: Investigation underway over disappearance of prospecting DropShip attached to a Taurus Majoris Mining mobile refinery.

[Adridos]

Investigation of missing mech announcement underway.

Taurus Majoris Mining is the largest mining company in the Taurian Concordat. In 3025, the company employed over 2 million people with most of them prospecting afield for future ore deposits. They also maintained a commercial fleet of over ten dropships and almost two dozen mobile refinery stations throughout Taurian space. They maintain large facilities on Laconis and Camadeierre.

Prior to the formation of the Calderon Protectorate in 3066, the company had holdings on Mirfak. Fortunately their holdings on New Ganymede have kept them afloat, and even allowed them to increase their DropShip fleet since the division of the Taurian Concordat.

Already so suspicious, Adidros

Obviously the 'prospecting DropShip' was actually a clandestine transport ferrying top-secret information and Mechs... its disappearance is no accident.

It will be out in an hour Adridos - like always. They are always posted at the same time every wednesday. I dont know how people are always shocked. I would have thought Pavlovian reactions would have set in by now.

PS -Ghost - this is an interesting one...

Invasion related?

probably not much longer than any company.. if current trends continue more than 1 million of those employees works in administration and lower management anyway

I work for one of the larger payroll companies out there, and I can tell you the answer is very carefully.

I dont think it would as the Concordiat is in the south of the IS as the Clan Invasion comes from the north.

If people had any misconceptions of the importance (and expense) of maintaining a dropship.

that company has 2mm employees and 10 dropships.

So pirates, then. Got it. Hopefully, we'll get a chance to squash some pirates!

(scratches head and looks out mining station window) "Damn't, I KNOW I left that DropShip RIGHT HERE!" (points to empty space where DropShip used to be for reporting officer)

'dude, where did you put the keys?'
'in my pocket, then I had to go outside and oh....%@%#$!'

But... it was "attached" to a refining facility... did they mean, like, deployment attached, or mechanically attached?
