Voice: This is the interrogation of Servitor Yee Kang
regarding the disposition of Sang-Wei Lo
Biao-McTavish. Servitor Kang was recovered from a Diolong SUV along with the body of San-ben-bing George Paulos near the ruins of a factory identified on
historical records as HildCo Annex #3. [Pause] Servitor Kang, explain in your
own words what happened.
Kang: You have to
understand, none of this is my fault. I was merely following Sang-Wei Baio-McTavish’s orders
Voice: Of course;
he is one of the Barduc, and it is
your duty to serve him. What I wish to know is what happened to him.
Kang: Very well.
Some time after arriving on Fletcher, Sang-Wei
Biao-McTavish discovered the presence of an illegal underground BattleMech dueling
competition. He took it upon himself to enter this contest, apparently as a way
of proving the superiority of the Cappellan Janishi
over all others.
Voice: Of course.
Kang: The Sang-Wei had participated in several
matches over the course of the last few months against a variety of opponents.
He proved to be an exceptional son of the Confederation, overcoming-
Voice: Skip the
praise, Servitor. We just want to know what happened last night.
Kang: Very well. Sang-Wei Biao-McTavish arrived at the
venue for the week’s fight, along with San-ben-bing
Paulos who was acting as his bodyguard.
Voice: And you
acting as his-
Kang: I was
fulfilling my role as a servitor by driving him to the location as well as
providing him with any assistance that he needed. At any rate, after overcoming
his opponent in a – [pause] – he defeated his opponent, and left the fight,
heading back along the same route as we had taken. It was at that stage that we
were ambushed.
Voice: Go on.
Kang: The car
stopped suddenly with no signs of damage or an attacker. You must understand
that it was at night, we were in the woods and there was heavy rain around us.
Voice: We checked
the car. It’s engine block had been penetrated by a single round from a heavy
anti-material rifle.
Kang: That would
make sense. At any rate, I got out to see what had happened, while San-ben-bing Paulos chose to evacuate Sang-Wei Biao-McTavish through the rear
exit from the car. It was at that point that a second sniper attacked and
killed the San-ben-bing. I was
likewise attacked and knocked out.
Voice: So you saw
nothing after that?
Kang: [nervous]
No
Voice: And no
clues as to the identity of the attackers or the fate of Sang-Wei Biao-McTavish?
Kang: [nervous]
No
Voice: I see.
[Pause] Very well. Thank you for your time.
[Analysis: Likely the attackers are the same unidentified
unit that has attacked several of our supply depots after landing on-world
three weeks ago. Sang-Wei Biao-McTavish
was likely extracted as a source of information. Suggest investigating this “underground
fight club” to find the full extent of Sang-Wei
Biao-McTavish’s involvement as well as avenues for further investigation.
Likewise, suggest retaining Servitor Kang for potential re-questioning should further
information come to light]
