Detention Facility Attacked - Wilder Escapes!

[Gus Givens]

ALERT! ALERT! NEWS ALERT!

Gal-Fed Security today called an emergency news conference. GFS Spokeswoman Grace Lightly read the following statement:

"At 2200 hrs. today a coordinated ground/aerial/orbital attack struck the GFS Detention Facility in the Descarte system. The objective of this attack was to bring about the escape, and then aid in the flight, of Harry Wilder. Wilder is the former supervisor of the Galactic Buyers' Market but was arrested this morning.

It has not yet been determined who arranged the attack or by whom it was carried out. The Galactic Bureau of Investigation is already working on the case and will not rest until those responsible are brought to justice. We owe the families of the officers who fell no less.

As for Wilder himself, his escape and flight serve as a confession, and the extent of his guilt must be measured against the lives he took in escaping.

All Promenades, all captains, and all installations within Gal-Fed space are hereby directed to arrest Harry Wilder and any companions on sight. They are extremely dangerous and caution is advised."
