In other news, the wedding bells chime for Sheikh Dumar Al Dagher, CEO of Mega-corporation Daghercorp. The Silk Lord has remarried his ex-wife, Ariadnan Regina Berger.
Ms Berger, a member of the infamous Qapu Khalqi team The Wrecking Belles, has also recently being involved in a scandal concerning underground cage fights on Concilium Prima.
The newlyweds will be heading to the luxurious New Hypatia for their Honeymoon. New Hypatia is a well know tourist attraction; with exciting locations like the Akhua Leisure District, the Calchis Virtual Theme Park and the Caligo Hexadrome.
I hope they survive Hurricane Regina.
This just in! An Ariadnan ship has just been shot arriving at New Hypatia's Seaport!
While we don't have all the facts, you can bet those Wrecking Belles will be involved!
I'm not one to say "I told you so," but I told you so. The Wrecking Belles were involved in the accident of the Legacy Ship 'Rowanoco,' that crash landed on Neoterra eight years ago.
They have also have had run ins with RajCorp. on Planet Mars. And more recently, they were responsible for the ejection of three Modules off Space Station Omega City One.
We will keep you informed as the News progresses.
This is Linda Lovelyday saying: Thank you for watching and have a lovely day!

The explosion rocked the luxurious Micelas Hotel. Scarlet Tanager wasted no time and suited up. As she left her room, she was relieved that Battle Charmer and Doc Starlight had done the same and were also ready to jump into action.
Scarlet Tanager tsked. When they reached the Sèlentra Residencial Compound, they were shocked to learn that they had to leave all Special Weapons in the compound's Armory. This was doubly bothersome for Battle Charmer, whose Hacking Device had also been confiscated.
"Dumar went to the corner vendor to get one of those spicy hot dogs," said Scarlet Tanager leaving out the fact that she had been the one who sent him to get her one.
"I'll bring him back," said Delara. And as swift as the wind, she rode her Uni-wheel bike off through an alleyway to get Scarlet Tanager's husband.
Baguette launched a Trench Charge at Dart, wounding her, but not taking her out.
Scarlet Tanager, Doc Starlight and Battle Charmer advanced to Dumar's location. Scarlet Tanager saw a shadow raising a Combi-Rifle, so she opened fire with her Breaker Rifle, missing every single shot.
"Move forward and flank Dart's position!" she said. It was then that she realized her grip was shaking. She tried to shake off the thought of losing Dumar and steel herself.
Scarlet Tanager had crossed paths with Dart before. She had seen first hand the amount of damage the little woman could inflict if left uncheck.
She checked that Battle Charmer and Doc Starlight were perfectly positioned, blocking Dart's escape routes.
It was then that she felt the three hits that took the breath out of her chest. Scarlet Tanager stumbled to the floor. She was very familiar with gunshot wounds and knew she had a perforated lung.
Doc Starlight's mind raced at breakneck speed. Scarlet Tanager was down, and Battle Charmer quickly followed. There was just no way for them to out-shoot a PanO Fireteam.
Doc Starlight closed her eyes waiting for the finishing blow, but it never came.
"Relax, we're not going to wipe you out," said a familiar husky voice.
"Agent Scott?" asked Doc Starlight perplexed.
Agent Indira Scott was a Hexa who had antagonized and worked with the Wrecking Belles on several occasions. She was a shrewd and competent woman, who was always one step ahead of the Wrecking Belles.
"You did provide us with the perfect cover to infiltrate New Hypatia. Oops, you were not supposed to hear that."
"Hear what?" replied Doc Starlight quick on the uptake.
"Good lass," replied Agent Scott. "Now, go tend their wounds. I think Regina's about to see St. Peter."
As Doc Starlight went to tend to Scarlet Tanager, Agent Scott left next to her an impeccably wrapped gift.
"For the newlyweds," she said as she disappeared in the shadows.

End Result:
Varuna Immediate Reaction Division: 1 (achieved Classified Objective)
Ramah Taskforce: 0
Like a dog chasing cars, I went after Dart and forgot that I could have CivEvac-ed 2 HVTs instead.
I also forgot to take pictures of Rounds 2 and 3, where my Ghulam Fireteam with 3 Panzerfausts and my two TR Kameels stopped the Varuna forces from getting a single HVT.
All in all, a very fun mission and a breath of fresh air from the usual ITS setup.
