ONN News, Saeko Mori reporting.
In a shocking turn of events, noted theoretical geneticist Dr. Nils Søden, has disappeared, and he is believed to have been abducted by person or persons unknown from his home on New Geneva.
This morning his housekeeper, who has asked that her identity be withheld, said to local authorities that she entered his home at 8:13 AM this morning to find signs of a struggle and the remains of Dr. Søden's cybernetically augmented bull mastiff. Forensic evidence suggests that the animal was destroyed by multiple armor-piercing rounds.
Dr. Søden was previously employed by GenevaTech, a cutting edge genetics research firm that was liquidated when it was found that the research team headed by Dr Søden was involved in what was seen to be ethical violations in it's research. GenevaTech was intended to be acquired by Aegis, which never occurred due to that company's liquidation.
"We are following all the leads we can, but we would appreciate if anyone who knows anything would offer assistance in the ongoing investigation." Said Noble Søden, the daughter of the missing geneticist. "We are hopeful that father is unharmed and can be returned to us.."
Søden's research work involved the controversial Pariah Strain, a virus that had the unfortunate effect of stripping all DNA from the host subject. The research was terminated and all funding was halted after alleged ethics violations were reported.
[Ph@nt0m]>>: Sounds like someone that deserved to be abducted.
