Falcon 47A patrol ship P134 Merlin has been destroyed in Dino space. The Falcon was returning to Dino-Land for some work on some unspecified "technical issues" (the Falcon being a Dinomark XT of course) when it was ambushed by 3 Snarls. The Bolitic probably thought Merlin was a Dino ship but they are probably not that choosey.
The Orchid said the technical issues were not the reason Merlin was destroyed. "Defensive systems were all operating fine but if a small ship like a Falcon is trapped by 3 Snarls there is only really going to be one outcome." It is thought however that Merlin was not carrying any TPMs to prevent any secrets being compromised. This policy may now be revised.
