Young Blood seeks Older
In a recent study it has been shown that the injection of blood from a young mouse into a vastly old mouse has improved memory and agility. Is it me or this sort of the thing the last thing we want at a time like this, I mean the Empire is at War. Do we really need the Age of the Vampire at this time as well?
Missed Again
On another subject all together it appears that the penal colony on Ganymede is in uproar after several inmates and guards witnessed an orange vortex in the sky which ejected a massive asteroid and a satellite. According Fleet headquarters spokesman both objects are on a trajectory that will leave our solar system and never been seen again.
Astronomers on Callisto have identified both objects, the asteroid is that of 19880 which went missing in 2011 and the satellite is none other than Corcas's Breadth of God designed mostly by Max Drum. The only comment that Max Drum gave to the press today is that "It is sign." which is unusually closed mouth of him. You may wonder whether he was worried about the asteroid, known a HL 129, which hurtled passed us early morning on Saturday. It seems nobody bothered to tell the public of its potential doom, it passed within 186,000 miles.
Corcas's Breadth of God was supposedly designed to capture asteroids by pushing them into an orbit that would come closer enough to the Earth so that they could be mined. The Empire denies all involvement in the original project.

Rumours of the Front
The war begun over a year ago now and it seems like more innocents died every day despite the assurances from the Empire that we have fought the enemy to a stand still. Bonnybridge and its children still in the hands of the enemy, the rumours I have collected are worrying indeed. There is talk of cannibalism on the battlefields of Europe whilst the news from Bonnybridge is that civilians held there are going missing. My sources are close to the town but cannot leave for risk of capture by Russian troops. They however can see some sort of light north of the town during the night. The rail link from Falkirk has been cut close to St Helen's Loch, a coal train derailed there.
I have used my considerable resources to help as best I can with the fight but the enemy seems to be several steps ahead of us which can mean only one of two things we have traitors in my midst or the enemy have an undetectable method of intelligence gathering. Both possibilities are quite worrying I am not sure which I would prefer.
One of my sources however has thrown up a name that may help one Du Pre Alexander, he was a director of the EIC before the Empire dispersed it so my source tells me. Aside from that there is not much on him except that he has traveled quite considerably and a number: 729.

I am Still Here!
Just a quick post to say that I am still here, back in the heart of the Empire and whilst I have my own problems with the way the Empire runs itself I am still a patriot!
I spent some considerable time trying to gather anything useful from my sources this past year it is amazing how well the enemy has covered itself in an impenetrable fog of disinformation and blind alleys. Like snakes in Blighty information is very thin on the ground but I am sure I will be able to extract something useful soon.
To the soldiers on the front:
May the Gods be with you and Tyche clear your path.

This is War!
Hot off the Presses! In a sneak attacked by the Russians, northern Britain has been overrun by Russian paratroopers supported by three Dreadnought class airships. Bonnybridge and the surrounding villages have been completely secured by the invading force.
The bulk of the Russian Army and Navy are massing on their borders readying for a push into Europe, the balloon has gone up people! No declarations of war involved, they just simply attacked. One of my sources close to Bonnybridge has stated that Russian troops were heading towards Dun Troddan which is quite odd because there isn’t anything there just an old Broch.
The Empire has condemned the attacks and broken off diplomatic relations with Russian by bombing the Russian Embassy into the ground.
I must return and fight for the Empire, I may not like them but I am British and they will need all the resources they can get. This will be my last article for some time at least until the war ends! Below is a link to a piece of music that I think embodies my current feelings:

Exploding Drill
Hot news off the presses regarding a recent explosion on the Mars. My sources tell me that the drill site is to the east of the Plains of Curiosity named after the unmanned probe 'Curiosity' sent there in the early seventies. Leamas Industries are the co-owners of the project to find...well actually nobody knows what they expect to find by the drilling. One of sources on Mars believes they are looking for the Old One's energy source and their drilling point is a convergence of cosmic energy.
Having looked up their location in the Link's Mars map it appears to be dead center between four peaks some thirteen miles high, there are three peaks to the south-east of the drill site and the fourth to the north-west. My source goes onto say that the peaks in question are in fact of unnatural origins, she believes that they are part of he Old One's cyclopean cities and that any attempt to access their technology will result in disaster.
Well disaster they got when the drill hit something very very hard and the whole drill exploded, most drills would of just stalled but not this one. Below is a fantograph that my source took, unfortunately it is quite unclear and no real scale but it is from some of the 'rock' thrown out when the drill blew its top. According to my source it is at least twenty feet in height, I know the angle suggests different but he states he took it from one of the project's mini airships.
Dotted about on the ground in the ruins of the drill were nine cubes of dark metal each about six inches across. Leamas Inc. have reported that despite a few injuries there were no deaths and that most of the drill team are fine. Yet again Leamas Inc. are being somewhat economical with the truth my inside source states that two men and one women have lost their minds to the incident. One of the men tried to eat his own hand saying that it was no longer his own.
You have to wonder though why Leamas Inc. a maker of teabags is drilling holes on Mars, not to mention Leamas Inc's new company slogan: "Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence."

Who's There?
Our Globe is apparently about 4.54 billion years old according the Royal Institute of Applied Sciences (excuse my ignorance, scientists prefer the term 'Planet' the rest of us common folk just say globe) also according to the same institute humans appeared on the scene some 2.5 million years ago whilst the more modern humans turned up 200,000 years ago.
Based upon information found in Lovecraft's unpublished journals which the Empire have secreted away on Mars (one of my sources has copies, well copies of copies) for fear of panic regarding man's dominance over the Earth shows that before man walked, other older things live upon the land. Where these older beings went is unknown although Lovecraft mentions the dark spaces out beyond our solar system. There is of course the prophecy that they will return and retake the land for their own.
A number of my sources have recently sent me details of something walking our lands, something we cannot see perhaps it is beyond our perceptions or comprehension. I will not go into the details because some are particularly gruesome suffice to say the recent Red Thames incident is now sending a distinct chill down my spine.
Is this a omen or portent of things to come?

Bonnybridge's Iron Curtain
Had several different reports from sources close to Bonnybridge, the town is still locked down. However at night you can see a white glowing curtain of light emanating from one of side of the town, during the day it is barely visible, it reaches several hundred feet into the air. My sources tell me that whilst it does not look to be moving it is advancing just very slowly.
My sources also tell me that some wild life have been seen to pass through the curtain with fatal consequences.
Still no word from the Empire other than the continued disinformation of an outbreak of Typhoid. I am not sure how much longer the Empire keep the news blackout in place without causing a serious panic in the surrounding areas.
