"Ageira Technologies and LPI officials are struggling to make sense of a grizzly scene that took place across at least four systems yesterday.
It all started with what Ageira spokesperson Monica Lyon said was a routine performance review scheduled for Arno Conklin, 51, a member of Ageira Technologies Legal Department for six years. According to Ageira, four members of Ageira Technologies Human Resources Department and two LPI officers were killed when Mr. Conklin's console exploded. Moments later, Mr. Conklin fled Pueblo station in a stargazer, and was seen flying away from Pueblo towards the New York jump gate (note that authorities are considering the possibility of multiple Xenos, Bounty Hunter, and LPI killings in the area to be linked to his escape). From there, Mr. Conklin was tracked to the New York System before vanishing into the Badlands. The Liberty Navy, unaware of the massacre in Colorado, told the unidentified vessel to leave the system and, after some delay, he was seen departing for Colorado. The last definitive siting of Mr. Conklin was at Bethlehem Station in Pennsylvania, where he is confirmed to have purchased a combat freighter. There are unconfirmed reports that Mr. Conklin was responsible for the destruction of two dozen LPI ships in the Jersey Debris Field.
As quickly as Mr. Conklin vanished, there is even more mystery as to his fate. In the Texas system, the wreckage of a Dromedary was found that contained traces of Mr. Conklin's DNA. Authorities say it may have been related to a dispute between the Zoners and Lane Hackers in the area.
Until Mr. Conklin is a confirmed fatality, the Liberty Police have charged him with six counts of Aggravated Homicide for his actions on Pueblo Station, Eighteen counts of Homicide relating to the deaths of Xenos and Bounty Hunters in Colorado, and twenty-six total counts of Homicide of a Police Officer in the Line of Duty for his actions of Pueblo Station and the carnage in the Jersey Debris field, he is also charged with piracy, fraud, and giving aid to a terrorist organization, the Outcasts.
Perhaps the alleged links to the Outcasts are the most interesting part of the allegations of Mr. Conklin. According to Ageira's Company Directory before his removal, Mr. Conklin was a veteran of the Bretonian Secret Intelligence Service, who retired after serving 10 years, he then studied law at Cambridge before coming to work for Ageira.
Sources in both Bretonia and the LPI, however, say there's more to the story. Mr. Conklin's father was Deputy Section Chief for Counter Terrorism when he was indicted and terminated from the service for allegedly providing material aid to the Outcasts. He maintained his innocence until he was found dead in his jail cell three years ago. The coroner ruled his death a suicide but intelligence sources fear it was to silence him because he finally came to realize that it was in fact, his own son who was passing information to the Outcasts and he had started talking. With the death of Mr. Conklin it's like we'll never know the truth about much of these lurid allegations."
