Famous billionaire killed on Calypso

Eccentric Earth collector Amerank Wackt was found dead in the water outside Fort Ithaca. The party of seventeen people seems to have been ambushed and the DNA structure was corrupted by some alien means. Wackt, famed Earth philanthropist, was on a visit to the Colony to view "its beautiful wildlife".
Some sources claim that Wackt really was on the run, as he was in possession of stolen contraband, a special and one-of-a-kind item, designed by the legendary Roman Ram. The item is believed to be a unique weapon of sorts, with performance never before seen. The expected price tag on the item is beyond anything else on Calypso. This strengthens the theory of foul play, as Roman Ram is famed for his fierce temperament.

EBN will follow-up on this report once a statement from the Federal Crime Specialist is available. Stay tuned for more information.

EBN UPDATE: The bizarre billionaire slaying

“The death of Amerank Wackt is strange”, Federal Crime Specialist Tamir Aghalla says. “We have noticed an increase in creature activity around the crime scene, and we are sure that this wasn’t an ordinary beast attack. Our creature behaviour specialists confirm this theory as well.”
She continues, “The only trace at the site were smudged wet Atrox tracks leading away inland. We haven’t been able to determine the age of the tracks yet, but the wetness indicates sea movement of some sort.”

According to other sources EBN have spoken to, the Atrox population seems increased, almost like being on an amplified development pace. This is alarming if someone indeed has been altering the DNA of the native Calypso creatures.

Earth authorities have as of yet no official response, but a Federal Investigation Response Emergency Squad is probably coming to Calypso in the near future.

EBN Report: New info

EBN caught up with the FIRE squad leader, Major Jac Carn, and managed to retrieve some information about the ongoing investigation in the case involving the death of Amerank Wackt.
“Mr. Wackt, an Earth citizen class one, was indeed killed by Calypso wildlife. We believe the attacker to be a band of so called Atroxes of a variety of maturity levels. The attackers seems to be afflicted by some sort of mutation though, however this cannot be seen when casually looking at the creatures.”

As to the collection of items Wackt allegedly carried, Major Carn explained. “Several items were recovered by the Seize and Rescue team first at location. However, one item is still missing, and the rightful owner, a Mr. Ram, is furious about this fact. We believe an Atrox who is lurking around in the wilderness, somewhere on Calypso, has eaten the item. As the time frame from the attack is quite long, the creature could be anywhere – your guess is as good as mine.”

At this time, Major Carn was pulled into a meeting with several other authority figures in Hadesheim, Eudoria. If we receive any further updates, we will immediately bring it to the public.

Roman Ram created several great weapons, such as the:
- Modified M71A2
- Adjusted M61A5
- Improved DOA Strikehammer

It appears as if this new unique weapon will be a shotgun though. Read the description of the Omegaton ASG-3 Warthog and you'll find out why I think it's a shotgun.

Quote:

The Warthog was such a success in military circles that a special version of the shotgun was created, by the legendary Roman Ram.

Short and simple...
Roman have created the Modified M71A2, Adjusted M61A5, Improved DOA Strikehammer and created a "special version" of the ASG-3 Warthog.
So, what'ya think?

It will never be worth more than a mod.fap unless its better range,damage and speed of a mod.dar and a damage per pec of 5.5 or more to even be considered valued similar as a mod.fap

Nice story by MA

I like these reports, that things are happening in PE

I wonder what it is, and who will get it!

Recoda · 03-30-2005, 14:28

The TT value on the weapon will problably be extreme... There will be items with a TT value on 100k Ped, so I guess this weapon will have a TT value on atleast 10k. And, yeah... if it's really a shotgun, I'm not sure if it'll be worth that much, unless its a shotgun with a range on 40, better economy then the Imp Mk2 and a damage on 150, or something like that.

I wonder if some noob happens to find it and stuff to TT

heh, I like these reports too, it's fascinating and interesting story

i wonder who finds it

MindBuster · 03-30-2005, 15:05

How about where to find it ?

Laying on the ground ? naah, guess not.

Some mob on ithaca island ? Spidey guardian maybe as it is close to the waters ? Rippersnapper ?

Or did the corpse float all the way from Amethera and the weapon is to be found/looted on Amethera far from Ithaca Island ?
