((OOC: Finally following through on an idea I had a while back to do short little 'press releases' intended for public consumption regarding the activities of "The Toolbox." As you can see, I've divided the information one would have about the event based on your character's IC connections. ))
The recent tragedy at Orinyatech's satellite uplink facility in Dasrau has been the subject of speculation and rumor, all of which is based on dubious eye witness accounts and conjecture. The incident involved infrastructure specialists contracted from the US through Russian channels, there at the satellite uplink station to aid in upgrades that would improve communication between our two great nations. Sadly, during exploratory drilling for the use of expanding laid cable networks, the specialists struck a gas pocket. The gas ignited, killing several US and Russian workers. There is no truth to the currently suspected conflict involving intentional explosives.
Last week, a group of americans was seen in a small city in the former soviet bloc. These americans killed several high-ranking members of the local organized criminal syndicate and detonated explosives at a local satellite uplink station. These agents seemed to be trying to send a "message" or "warning," though it is unclear as to what that may exactly have been.
Two weeks ago, "The Toolbox" noticed several financial irregularities in our records. These irregularities were traced back to a stolen credit card taken by a small-time eastern european crime syndicate.
Continued surveillance of the target area of operations indicates success in all primary objectives. As anticipated, eliminating several key players from the targeted organization has effectively disrupted their chain of command and significantly reduced their ability to function effectively. The organization now seems to be in a state of internal turmoil, as the remaining members either leave or compete internally for power and supremacy.
In any case, it seems that the extreme prejudice with which this operation was carried out has had the intended effect on morale and reputation. Our contacts in the Balkan and Eastern European underworld assure us that the message has been heard loud and clear: "Don't fuck with The Toolbox."
