NSIS to review ship security

NSIS are to conduct a review of ship security after a River 75A transport, SS Amazon, was taken over following the death of the crew. Dr Forbidden said that NS Research are looking into the possibility of using UCV technology to give ships the ability to fly themselves to the nearest port if all the crew aboard are killed. At the moment all NS ships have a "dead man switch" which stops the ship dead if the crew die, though this system can be fairly easily overruled.

NSIS have confirmed that SS Amazon was taken over by the Mutre Bee Organisation after bio-control technology was detected in the brain of one of the dead NS crew. It is thought the crewman was taken control of and used to take control of the ship. CCTV is said to show the crewman killing the ship's captain.
