Vanishing Trick
Voxigraph is now under investigation by the Empire, my sources tell me very likely the companies assets will be seized soon and the Empire will have complete control. Lord Houl and several of the senior directors have vanished from London in the wake of the peace summit in Prague which occurred in secret on the 1st June. You would think that they did not want the war to end, makes you wonder what else is going on. I also understand that the Empire has new technology that will take the Voxigraph networks to the next level, based upon Graphene Optics I believe. Remember last year I reported on those two doctors joining the directorship:
Dr. Nu Vesper Calif
Dr. E. Tyrell
They too seem to have vanished off the face of the globe although my sources inside the Empire tell me that Dr. Nu Vesper Calif may have changed his name and entered into the Empire service as researcher in Wales. As to his whereabouts I currently have no clue.
Battle at Pumlumon
The Cambrian Mountains in Wales particularly around the summit of Pumlumon has been a place of considerable interest over the last few days, first there was the appearance of two Russian airships and early this morning my sources report a battle between Empire warships and the Russians. Secondly the whole of the summit and much of surrounding area has been cordoned off by the Empire since the war begun eighteen months ago, however at night it is possible to see a white light pointing up from the summit. During the battle my sources tell me that this white light became visible during the day it changed to deep orange mixed in with what looked liked to black holes that intermittently flash on and off. Apparently one of the Empire's warships crashed into the summit however it is unclear what happened next since my source at the time lost her portable Linker connection, I am still trying to contact her but so far no luck. The Empire has put out a news blackout over the entire area and even my sources cannot extract anything useful.
Death in Shadwell
This came from one of my trusted sources at a well known London newspaper that has strong Empire ties which is why the story has been quashed. My source states that it would seriously affect the peace process, I very much doubt that but we will see when people read this article. Mr Arthur Minion found his master a well respected scientist (his name has also been removed) in an alley close to Shadwell Basin dead. By all accounts that I have received so far he appears to have died of fright although I have nothing concrete because an autopsy has not been done. The reason being is that the body vanished on the way to morgue.
The Minion family is well known in London as servants to the rich and powerful not to mention their less than savoury connections to the criminal underbelly of the city. Who is this scientist and why is the Empire so interested in keeping his death quiet? What happened to the body? Many questions and no answers. Not surprisingly Mr A. Minion would not comment on his previous master's business, he would only say that "...it was family business."
