BBC News: Flames erupt near the Goodman Ranch.

[Sarawr!?]

Rachel sat staring quietly at the extranet terminal in the Officer's Quarters aboard the LNS Minuteman, one of the Liberty Navy's few Bretonian built gunboats. Her hands were covering the lower half of her face as she read and reread the news report. Rachel was stunned, but some part of her mind told her that she shouldn't really be surprised. Still, she had known Goodman for a number of years.

"This can't be right..." She thought to herself.

Rachel had learned a long time ago to question official stories in the absence of conclusive information.

Meanwhile, several Junior Officers who were gathered around a table behind Rachel had begun to play a game of Blackjack, despite Navy regulations against gambling...Luckily for those Junior Officers, Rachel was so focused on the Goodman story that she didn't even notice them.
