Helicopter Disappears Over Downtown
February 5th, 2057
Seattle, UCAS: Yesterday's mysterious disappearance of a Renraku owned Ares Dragon cargo helicopter has both Lone Star Air Traffic and Renraku officials completely stumped. The Dragon was carrying unspecified cargo from the temporary landing structure at the top of the as yet unfinished Renraku Arcology to SeaTac when, inexplicably, it seemed to simply vanish. Sources from Renraku Air Control and Lone Star Air Traffic confirmed that the helicopter ceased all communication before disappearing completely from all radar and sensor screens. Visual confirmation on the Dragon then became impossible as the 600,000 nuyen helicopter simply vanished from sight, along with its mysterious cargo.
According to Seattle Lone Star Air Traffic Chief Michael DiMartino, the disappearance is "completely outside of the norm for Seattle. It's usually very safe to traffic people and equipment over the city. We have our best men working on the Dragon case. Obviously, magic was involved, and we have mages on the job. We've also got Wasps scanning the surrounding areas looking for wreckage. " So far, says DiMartino, no wreckage has been found.
Renraku officials, other than a prepared statement that, indeed, the helicopter has been lost, have remained quiet about the disappearance. Top brass at the Arcology have been avoiding reporters since the incident. Rumors of proprietary computer technology on board the Dragon remain unsubstantiated.
"We have our own people working on this,"Renraku Security representative Annie Togusa told NewsFax, "we'll take care of it."
