“Greetings, and welcome to a Federation News Service Exclusive. It has been three months since a package was delivered to this program’s offices here in the London Archology. Inside, was found the severed head of Fleet Captain Phillip James Hilton the third. In his throat were his severed genitalis which were apparently used to choke the famous hero of the Federation Defense Force to death. Through his forehead was impaled a kitchen knife which has been identified as the weapon used by ‘Bloody Boo’ Boadicea McAllister in the infamous ‘Double Socialite’ murders of thirty-five years ago. Also in the package was a vial of blood belonging to the most wanted criminal in the galaxy, Julian ‘The Bastard’ McAllister and a note reading: ‘Please see to my father’, signed by the notorious pirate.
Despite efforts by the Hilton family to have the results sealed, it has been learned by this news organization that it does in fact confirm rumors the famous criminal is the son of Fleet Captain Hilton, fueling a wide-range of speculation regarding the killings of three and a half decades ago. The Hilton family is quick to point out that employers have sexual rights to bonded servants and claim that in any case this was a reciprocative relationship. Their spokesman, Davis Grubman, has indicated that numerous letters have been found in the Fleet Captain’s personal papers to support this. Family patriarch, Miles Walker-Hilton had this to say:
“These wild speculations and rumors leveled at me and my family regarding Mister McAllister’s lineage are irrelevant to the real matter at hand. This man’s criminal empire grows by the day and no citizen of the Federation will be safe until he and his gang of terrorists are laid low. I intend to use all my influence with the Federation High Council to see that’s done.” |
