	A small fishing boat named '[[Miranda (Boat)\|Miranda]]' was found drifting along [[Polsk's]] shore without an owner on board nor any registration within any nearby harbours, thus it was towed into harbour and boarded by port ~~authoritiees~~ to figure out where the crew had gone and if there were any documents explaining where the boat came from. This case would eventually escalate into several co-occurring investigations tied in with one another, which in this page are "separated" as to provide as convenient of a reading experience as possible.

	{{Container3\|header=Initial course of Events\|body=Upon investigation, the boat was measured to be quite small at about 10 meters long, only having room for a crew of around 4 people. Going on board the officers found it to be quite run-down due to how long it had been out at sea, with the whole thing stinking of moldy fish, rotting wood, and fuel as the creaking flimsy planks creaked with each step the police took as they moved towards the wheelhouse, which was already from afar seen to be in a chaotic mess. Once they entered the room, it was evident that some kind of struggle had taken place here as the steering-wheel wand navigational equipment was damaged in a manner which suggested that something was thrown at them, with many parts and devices such as the GPS tracker having been removed even before being struck by said object.		{{Container3\|header=Initial course of Events\|body=Upon investigation, the boat was measured to be quite small at about 10 meters long, only having room for a crew of around 4 people.

			{{Container3\|header=Hitman Investigation\|body=While investigating the food-poisoning and car-crash incidents that happened to officers involved with the case, DCAE managed to uncover that the food poisoning traced back to a manufacturing error resulting in a faulty expiration date which many other products from the same batch possessed, while the car-crash was traced back to a bad oil mixture clogging the motor. The investigation was almost closed until a chemical expert noted a possible discrepancy in the manufacturing error investigation, with the ensuing second investigation leading to the discovery of faint traces of another chemical which may of been sabotage after all, though despite this the new report was kept silent as the first one was released instead to put the culprit at ease. Subsequent investigations uncovered that the product the victim had ingested was possibly swapped out from an original intended product for the sabotaged product, while another oddity was brought up that the culprits seemed to be making sure their campaigns were purely non-lethal in ways far too intricate to be necessary, thus the [[Polsk National Intelligence Agency]] was brought into the investigation.

			Both cases were eventually tracked down to a particularly efficient hitman for hire who admitted to the attacks but didn't know who issued the orders to him, thus he was thanked and executed. The payments associated with the attacks were tracked down to an empty 'ghost account' that had sent the payments from a bank in a incredibly remote region which of course had its camera footage corrupt that day, with the only description of the person responsible being of someone who died over 10 years ago which implied the usage of a disguise. Using advanced recovery software some of the footage was able to be restored, though unfortunately the description appeared to in fact have been accurate and due to how long ago this visit occurred forensics specialists were unable to recover anything of note. A search for this individual was put out without very high hopes, only for an individual to one day report that they had seen the vehicle and person the day of the transfer, though unfortunately this didn't lead anywhere as the vehicle was found to have been scrapped in a junkyard a block away from the police-department with the only detail of note being a note in the glove box reading "Nope, nothing here."

	While investigating the two incidents which took the two officers out of work for a while again, DCAE discovers that the food poisoning is likely to go back to a manufacturing error resulting in a faulty expiration date. Several other items of the same product with this flaw are also discovered and called back. The car crash is traced back to a bad mixture of oil which clogged the motor. The team almost wants to close the investigations with those results, however, one of the chemical experts suggests another possibility based on a small technical report found in the investigations. Based on this the same selected group inquire further and re-examine the old parts. They indeed find faint traces of another chemical which lead them to believe it was more likely sabotage. However, this other report is kept silent and instead the first cause is released to put, whoever wanted it to look normal, at ease.
	Due to this turn of events the first case is secretly reopened by the same group and after lengthy analysis it is found that the product the victim ingested was possibly swapped out in their house for the one with the faulty expiration date. Another strange thing discovered in the process is that, even though the officers were harmed, a lot of thought went into the attacks to make them non-lethal, especially in the case of the car accident. DCAE thus brought the [[Polsk National Intelligence Agency]] into the mix to assist with the investigation.

	The investigation ultimately tracks both cases towards a hitman for hire. And a quite good one at that. After confronting him he admits to the attacks but he does not know who issued them to him, though that's mostly something normal in his line of work. In that matter the investigations lead to a dead end. The DCAE team thanked him and he summarily executed him on the spot. They track his bank transfers to see who paid him with the initial expectation that it'd be a money laundering scheme to raid and detain. They track the transfer back to a sort of “ghost account” which is completely empty. The money used was deposited into the account at a bank in a remote region. The security camera footage from that day is corrupted and the description of the bank teller leads to a person who died over 10 years ago meaning the person had to have worn a disguise.

	Using advanced recovery software they are able to construct some of the footage from that day, however it only complements the description by the employee. What is problematic is that it happened many months ago making it extremely difficult to get additional clues from forensics. A search is put out for the described person however, officials doubt it will show results. One day a person comes onto the local police department and says he saw the described on that day and with which vehicle they drove away. They ask for tag and vehicle description as a nationwide manhunt is ordered, though it comes to quick stop as the vehicle is reported to have been scrapped in a junkyard ... Only one block away from the police department. A small note still present on the glove box of the wreckage reads: "Nope, nothing here." }}

 I should probably tell you what I am doing here and how I escaped them, at least I hope I did. It might prove useful for you to know, should the need arise, which it will. First you need to set up an additional Identity preferably extremely different to what you are currently. As a rule of thumb, the more money you have the easier that will be. Next you will have to fake your death. There are enough people who specialize in that sort of operation so it should not be too hard to find someone. I for my part made myself a humble fisherman on the planet Theia. I don’t know why but I had never really felt a connection to this particular planet, making it perfect. As a next precaution I made sure to land in a spaceport as far from my ultimate destination as possible. I then spent about a year worth just bouncing around from settlement to settlement, laying false clues concerning my real destination. I often contacted smugglers and criminals who I had scoped out in advance. Some of them intentionally people I identified as from the order. I knew it was risky but It had to look like I was oblivious. The trick is to wait for the right moment when you judge that they have let their guard down. For me it was after a transfer with a non-order smuggler. I had made a sort of pattern in which I would regularly “by chance” select an order member as my helper. So with the hopes that they would just expect me to show up to them, I altered my plans and made a b-line towards my actual destination.}}
