Outreach, November 3, 3054
Ominous events of the last week:
Monday--All business involving members of Wolf's Dragoons comes to a screeching halt as appointments are cancelled without explanation. The Mercenary Hiring Hall opens as usual, but without the Dragoon representative. Mercenary affairs continue, with Dragoons are everywhere replaced by civilians. The Outreach police force (civilian) cancels all leaves.
Tuesday -- A Dragoon High Council is held. Some sort of duel is fought. Given the Dragoons'Clan heritage, it is not too much to suppose that it is a sort of trial by combat.
Wednesday -- The Dragoons are told that they have a new commander, 'Khan' Alpin Wolf, Jaime's grandson. Alpin is a young MechWarrior, brave in action, basically unproven. The press corps begins investigations to find out who is behind Alpin, pulling his strings.
Thursday -- In an early morning sortie, Jaime Wolf escapes the city, with a large group of MechWarriors to aid him. The Kuritan honor guard goes with him.
Friday -- Wolf is somewhere out there. Units are deserting their posts to join him. Dragoon MPs wearing the Nova Cat badge on their black and red uniforms are everywhere. We see several arrests and one street-to-street firefight.
Saturday -- our senior correspondent Rueben Timinieri disappears, leaving a note that he 'will report in from the hills' when Wolf allows it.
BattleTechnology will keep you informed of new developments.
Special Wolf Information Officer Robert N Charrette has published a book on the events of this Dragoon coup. The book is called Wolf Pack.
