FDWS employee killed by bomb

Date: 190511
Planet: Lok
Region: New Kestic

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).

Tragedy struck on Lok last night when a planetary transport reported a system failure in mid-flight and had to crash-land near New Kestic in south-eastern Lok. A rescue team from New Kestic made up from employees of the Future Droids and Weapons Systems was dispatched at once and quickly reached the crash site, securing it against looters and starting rescue operations despite the danger the still burning wreck posed to their own lives.



Jerint Shysa was at the forefront of the rescue efforts, looking for survivors first. While he was attempting to recover the transport's pilot the ship's fuel cells suddenly exploded. The remaining employees of FDWS watched helplessly as the ship's remains were wrecked even further. Their worst fears were realized when they managed to reach the transports bridge. Jerint was still conscious, but his wounds were too grave for him to survive transport to the local med center. He died in the arms of his sister, Lynn Shysa.



The transport's pilot was transferred to the med center in New Kestic, his current status is not known. According to the preliminary results of the investigation the transport was sabotaged. A virus took the flight controls offline when the transport entered New Kestic air space, causing the crash. The fuel cell explosion though was caused by a thermal detonator. Given that such devices were used in earlier attacks on the city the prime suspect is the mad bomber trying to extort money from the corporation.
