Motoyoshi Bakufu News [MBNN] Traitors in our midst

At 0200 hours this morning shots were fired on Hotaru Star Fortress. Bakufu Security and Intelligence Authority informants have released that Hanabusa Miho, Chujo and head of the Hanabusa family was killed while attempting to take the life of beloved Bakufu member, and head of BSIA Tange Misato Shôshô. The Chujo’s motivations to commit such a dishonorable crime are still under investigation. Tange Misato managed to survive the ordeal thanks to the brave actions of Kakutama Yuriko Shoi, a First Expeditionary Fleet officer and commander of the YSS Asamoya.

Following the foiled assassination attempt several Hanabusa ships attempted to flee the Fifth Expeditionary Fleet’s staging area, calling in the SMX for assistance. BSIA officials have stated that all but three of the stolen vessels were destroyed; however the remaining three managed to flee the system and are assumed to be planning to defect.

The mighty 17th Kasairyuu Power Armor Wing joined to an attachment of ships has been sent to pursue the fleeing traitors.

All Hanabusa pledge members both military and civilians are instructed to report to BSIA holding facilities for processing. They have recommended that coming voluntarily rather than being picked up by their patrols will be considered during interviews. Anyone caught resisting the order to report to holding areas will be killed.

Further investigation into the assassination attempt on Shosho Tange Misato yesterday morning has revealed that the first BSIA member on scene, Hakunetsu Mikomi, was killed in the line of duty trying to protect Tange.

The Hakunetsu family has not felt the need to release a comment n the situation, instead wanted their privacy in this hard time. Mikomi’s co-workers have stated, “She was such a devoted member of our fleet’s security forces! She idolized Shosho Misato and hoped that perhaps one day, they could become closer.”

“She was so big on honor and fulfilling her duties in service to the Bakufu! She would’ve wanted it to be this way, to die a martyr in protection of her idol! …..it’s like a character in one of those books she loves to read…”

“It’s a shame really, she was so excited to be going home today to celebrate her birthday with her folks. Her sister was home from a long stint on another ship, and they were really close…”

“Miki was really looking forward to finishing her book after her shift. She was so excited about getting it early for her birthday! We even managed to get the author to autograph it for her!”

In thanks for Mikomi’s service, the Hakunetsu family has been granted honorary status into the Tange pledge house. It is rumored that Mikomi’s younger sister, Sirin will be naming her supply ship in her sister’s honor.

Hakunetsu Mikomi would’ve been 6 years old today and serving as a brilliant example of shining, dedicated service to the fleet in these dark times. She is survived by her mother, Daya; and two sisters, Sirin and Relia.
