Delta 9 situation "out of control"

The DDS have admitted that the ecological damage to Delta 9 is now out of control with a badly damaged nuclear power station still spewing radiation into the atmosphere and radiological waste now spread across a significant area of the Deltan surface. DDS Engineering teams are battling to erect containment fields around the power station but the proximity of the front line means the ABBOs are doing all they can to prevent their operation.

The DDS are now looking at Malau with increasing alarm as it is suspected the ABBOs are testing their tactics for what would be the final battle on Malau, and the scale of disaster there could be many times bigger. In another worrying development the ABBOs have begun rounding up Malau UNP citizens for "accounting" purposes.

• The second LLFX F-47 has made its first flight. A full flight test programme is to begin next month with the HCSAF keen to get the cheap fighter into service by the end of next year.
