[This is a brief excerpt of a report from Admiral Hawke [USN] to Commodore Tiberious Clearcastle[USN] ]


While on a routine patrol of the waters south of Zento Captain Azaroth and I discovered a medium sized cargo ship. The ship was one "Geisha Girl" out of Zento owned by the Tokuno Merchant Navy [TMN].

We received no response when we hailed her so I order Capt. Azaroth to take us in for a closer look. As we neared the vessel we spotted bodies laying about topside.

Capt. Azaroth boarded the vessel and discovered 3 dead bodies. According to the [TMN] records the crew members were as follows:

Koseno (no last name given)

Akisuke (no last name given)

Kai (no last name given)



There were signs of a fight, but most disturbingly all three sailors seemed incredible emaciated, there skin was bone white, and one in fact had been reduced to nothing more then a pile of bones.

It is due to the horrendous condition of the victims that I am informing you of this, and then sending it out as a release to the general public.

Due to our recent loses in Magicina, both of vessels and more importantly sailors, I have been forced to use local sailing vessels for patrols since reclaiming Zento Station.

The U.S.S Griffin is currently being repaired at the Zento ship-yards, but I look forward to the return of Capt. Greyylene and the Caroline to the waters of Tokuno.

I am currently trying to pry information from the [TMN] Ownership about the ships destination and cargo, but thus far I have failed miserably.

I shall keep you informed Commodore and I think it wise that all USN vessels be on their guard, this threat may not be restricted to the seas of Tokuno.
