Acting UNPASID Director missing

An UNPASID transport aircraft carrying three crew and two passengers including Royal Marine Brigadier “Walrus” Jones, [right] to the UNHQ in New York to report as temporary UNPASID Director has failed to reach its destination.

At 00:12 NTD radar contact was lost with Gryphon 12, 200 nautical miles off the coast of Newfoundland. It has been determined that the RAF BAE HS125 aircraft did not have enough fuel to stay airborne beyond 02.30 and the RCN and the CCG have begun a joint air/sea search and rescue operation this morning.

UNPASID Chief Of Staff, Rear Admiral "Piscine" Aguillard will temporarily assume Brigadier Jones' duties and was sworn in as temporary acting director of UNPASID at midday.

It has also emerged today on a popular whistle-blowing website that Major General “Skullcrusher” Shaw, the UNPASID Director who was found dead yesterday; died from a self-inflicted gunshot to his temple. The website reports that it had been informed by an anonymous source that the generals staff became suspicious of his absence when he failed to appear at a memorial service for deceased UNPASID officers Colonel “Svarog” Tarasov and Major “Ghast” Giordano. It's understood that an aide to the general discovered his body at approximately 10:00 EST next to his Ivory-handled Colt Peacemaker.
