Reporters have just learned that the now Infamous Dr.Tommy Chong, has arrived at Honshu. He has sustained heavy injuries after barely escaping the explosion of The Assault Frigate Ciro. Dr.Chong is listed in critical condition.
The Convoy escorting Dr. Chong left cambridge at noon today and ran into heavy resistance in their flight to asylum on Planet Honshu. The Bretonian Navy attempted to interdict the convoy, but was unable to accomplish thier objectives. They did however inflict heavy losses on the refugee convoy, causing major damage to the Ciro and her sister ships.
Dr.Chongs escort fled Bretonian space and fought small attacks by pirates all the way until reaching the Hokkaido System. Reports have not been confirmed yet as to who attacked the convoy, but experts pin the blame on the Pirate [N]Atawolshi and the junkers military. The Ciro was destroyed almost instantly, losing all of Dr.Chongs research money and almost killing Chong himself. Just at the moment all seemed lost, a single cargo pod was ejected from the Ciro, wich by good fortune the brave pilot CCC D'lunar was able to tractor the pod just before the blast from the Ciro impacted his escape pod. No other survivors where seen to escape from the Ciro when her hull ruptured.
D'Lunar was able to carry Dr.Chong on to planet honshu, where medical teams waited on the launch pad. Dr. Chong suffered a heavy blow to the head and major facial lacerations. He has been heavily sedated and is under constant watch from the medical staff at the hosipital.
Speculation is going wild right now as to strange developments in the story of Dr.Chongs escape from Bretonia as the convoy was aided by an Order Capitol ship. No one knows the Orders reason to try and help Dr.Chong, but investigations are under way. There has been no public statement maded by Dr.Chongs staff (Who arrived unharmed) or Kusari Government.
