332-2507 Gateway News Service- New Texas

The New Texas Rangers, supported by tactical teams raided three locations overnight pursuant to warrant issued over the raid on the Van Doople ranch and the attempted murder of Natasha Alvarez.

The Rangers and Tactical teams hit the targets at the same time with the assistance of drones, and police robots were able to keep the violence to an absolute minimum. A very brief firefight broke out in the Jackson Avenue location in the capital but the suspects were quickly neutralized, with no fatalities, and three wounded suspects.

At the other locations, liberal use of stun devices took care of most resistance from the wanted subjects. A total of 29 persons were taken into custody and they are being held in the maximum security section of the New Austin jail. Each was stunned, and then sedated while a full medical work up was completed. Three were found to have implanted devices which investigators suspect would terminate the suspect upon interrogation. Doctors were able to safely remove the devices in 10 hour operations, although one did detonate spraying nanites across the operating room.

We are being told that these people are suspected of being involved in the plot to kill the Alvarez and van Doople families. Two of the arrested parties have been positively identified as members of the Black Sun Mercenary Group according to a source close to the investigation. When we asked how they determined where the wanted suspects were located, we were told that is classified information, and nothing can be revealed regarding this matter.

Our source said that large amounts of weaponry, ammunition, explosives, along with computers and data chips were found on scene, to include data on the security at the van Doople ranch. A spokesman for the New Texas Rangers gave a short press conference, and said that this is an ongoing investigation, and as details which can be released to the general public are made available to him, he will brief the media.

"And if you think the customs crews are bad, just wait till you get to meet the Orbital Quarantine Service people. Words that strike terror into the hearts of spacers everywhere: “We are going to need a small blood sample…”." from one of the PDFs posted

I've only briefly played with the idea of quarantine and medical issues with all the world-hopping Travellers can do. But think I made higher-law level worlds have stricter systems. Anyway - nice touch!

2300’s orbital quarantine command has some good protocols for that sort of thing.
