GNN Emergency Update

:BEGIN TRANSMISSION:

Today, on the thirty-first of January, the criminal known only as Doctor Artifice escaped Rheinland Military Prison. Doctor Artifice, a self-proclaimed 'cybernetic geneticist', is wanted on over forty counts of first degree manslaughter, breaking Nomad trade embargoes, conducting experiments on living humans, and for developing cloaking technology after the treaty between Rheinland and Liberty had banned such devices.

Doctor Artifice's current location is unknown, but he is both extremely dangerous and armed with weapons beyond most modern armed forces. If you see this man, please engage with extreme caution.

Following his escape, it is believed that Doctor Artifice intends to carry on with his hideous experiments; grafting AI memories and personalities to the brains of living humans. If so, he will most likely have returned to his space laboratory, which is equipped with cloaking devices. If you have information concerning his whereabouts, please contact any of the Major House forces. This man is a threat to all life as long as he is on the loose.

Reports from the Rheinland Military Prison and the security tape feeds tell us that he is approximately five feet, ten inches, has one blind eye, a black beard reaching to his waist and has pale skin. If you see anyone who meets this description, please proceed with extreme caution; even at the age of 103, he managed to kill three armed Rheinlan guards, a civilian pilot, and disable a security robot with only a handful of plastic sporks.

Do not attempt to subjugate this man on your own. Contact the police forces of your current location and await their arrival.

There is no information concerning the background of Doctor Artifice in any datalinks, and if you have information about his true name, past, or location, contact the GNN and the police forces of your current location. There is a reward of one hundred fifty billion credits being offered for the information leading to his arrest.
