Over the past few months, there have been an increasing number of mysterious disappearances of ships in the Pacific Ocean outside San Francisco. All have taken place in a circular area spanning roughly 50 miles in diameter, an area including the Farallon Islands. At first the CFS Coast Guard chalked up the first few disappearances as accidents potentially involving rough seas. But as the incidents in the area began to increase, and larger and larger vessels were being targeted, the Coast Guard sent an attachment to investigate. The ship and helicopter sent out never returned.

The four most recent and notable disappearances:

  • A couple travelling in a small yacht to the Farallon Islands for whale watching
  • A medium-sized international shipping vessel enroute to Asia carrying vehicles from General Motors
  • A small shipping vessel owned by a Shiawase logistics company shipping spent nuclear fuel to the Farallon Islands, a known nuclear dumping ground.
  • A medium-sized international shipping vessel from Seattle enroute to Los Angeles with foodstuffs.

Dmitri cross referenced the files he stole from Shiawase on the Drakes Bay facility. They confirm that Shiawase has a contract with the Atlantean Foundation regarding nuclear waste disposal.

The Matrix is abuzz with theories that various environmental groups could be responsible for the missing vessels. Many groups are upset at the continued use of the Farallon Islands as a dumping ground for nuclear waste. But J.P. Redman is not convinced that this is the case. The other lost ships seem like unlikely targets for eco-terrorists, and no groups have come forward to claim any responsibility.

The Atlantean Foundation has not been cooperative with F.A.T.E.'s initial investigative efforts. They refuse further questioning, and have issued a statement denying any involvement in the disappearances and pledging to heighten security in the shipping lanes nearby.

Notes

  • Anastasia has started taking diving lessons... just in case.
  • 7,000¥ is available on the March team stipend.
  • The Farallon Islands are located 27 miles from the Golden Gate. They were sold by the city of San Francisco to the Atlantean Foundation in the 2050's.
  • You can read more about the Atlantean Foundation here.
