[color=#FF0000]**From the Editor; The Below offer has been withdrawn.**

This is a general plea to the Scientific Community for information regarding any sightings of an antique spacecraft of a type known as "Minuteman" class, or its pilot. Modern scanners may misidentify the vessel as a borderworlds "Dagger" class vessel. The transponder tag of the vessel identifies it as "Alliance|Lt.James.Doyle"


The Pryce Institute will pay a fee of Three(3) Million credits to any Organization or Individual who provides scan data of this vessel, and its location at the time of the scan.The data must be in the form of visual scan logs of the craft and preferably readouts of interior components/equipment. Persons are advised to not come into physical contact with the vessel or its pilot, due to possible radiation or other unknown hazards. This offer of reward shall persist until lifted, but is payable only once per individual/organization.

Any persons with information may contact;

Bretonian Scientist Calls for Public Disclosure of Sunderland Research Site.



Doctor Matthew Cook, acting Director of the recent upstart , The Pryce Institute for Advanced Scientific Research, is calling on the Bretonian Government to publicly release details of the discoveries made, and research being conducted at the currently classified facility.

Doctor Cook has been preparing a petition to be circulated amongst the Academic Communities of Bretonia and Liberty, and intends to submit this petition to the Government sometime in early July of this year. "This site has been in existence for countless millennia, and contains important clues to the ancient alien species that inhabited Sirius before us. It is dangerous that this knowledge be kept from the general community, denying so many of our nations brightest minds access to it."


One of Doctor Cooks' colleagues has a different opinion however. Doctor Ryan Picardo, of the New London Institute of Xeno-Archaeology had the following to say;

"Our Government has good reasons, I'm sure, to maintain the clandestinity of the installation.We are at war, and Bretonia should not treat the artifact sites commonly. Anyone who has actually been to the Sunderland Facility knows its contents are secret for the safety of Bretonians everywhere.It would be foolish to have tourists over there mucking up the careful work being done."


It is alleged that personnel who are permitted to visit the site, are required to sign aggressive secrecy agreements.

The site, discovered in the Newcastle System in 598 A.S., has long since been under strict Armed Forces control, constantly under the watch of the Bretonian Admiralty.Unauthorized visitors to the site are frequently challanged, and over the centuries, several persons are alleged to have been killed on continued trespass of the site.

Pryce Institute Found Liable in Experiment Gone Wrong


-Planet Los Angeles, California, Liberty

The Superior Court of Whilshire District announced its verdict yesterday, finding The Pryce Institute for Advanced Scientific Research and its administration culpable in the deaths of fifteen of its staff, after an accident occurred during the testing of experimental equipment in late February this year. The Court sited the Institutes' failure to adequately implement certain safeguards which might have prevented the accident, and also the Institutes' negligence in properly responding to the emergency. The Court awarded damages of five hundred million credits to the plantiffs, and ordered all of the Institutes' vessels be grounded, till they can be subjected to safety inspections to ensure compliance with existing regulations; additionally, and perhaps most damaging to the defendants, was the seizure of several patents held by the Institute, which are said to include a number of valuable inventions and technologies. The presiding Judge, the Honourable Thomas C. Howell, was quoted as saying,


"The level of negligence here defies belief, that this scientific institution could be so careless with the lives of its staff. If I had my way, you would be shut down completely, else you endanger more innocent people with your experiments."


Ms. Yolanda Hannigan, whose brother was killed in the accident said,
"This isn't enough. They took our loved ones away, and they're still walking around free. They're worse than Rhinelanders."


Representatives for the Pryce Institute refused to comment.


The verdict comes at a bad time for the Institute, which is also under investigation over the deaths of two additional employees, in a seperate incident earlier this year.
