"What value is the target? That may help us to determine where they have taken them."

The list of passengers does show that there was a moderate level target on the plane. One Miss Sabine Jerrico from France.

Kane will see what information he can find on Miss Sabine Jerrico from France.

Kane will see what information he can find on Miss Sabine Jerrico from France.

[_3d6]=(4+1+2)=7

Sabine Jerrico: CEO of the French Agence Spatiale Nationale. National Space Agency. Age:35. Latest information, was headed to Egypt to secure a mineral deal for a new space vehicle.

Kane

Kane relays the info to everyone. "A target for ransom maybe."

[shaidar]

Hawk

"By who though? If that other radar is from an aircraft of unknown configuration, then who has the money and skills to either build it or have it built to their own specifications. Not every tom, dick and harry terrorist group. What other corps have an interest in that deal falling through?"

[Rex]

Kane

"That is my guess, another Corp wants it to fall through. Why is the big question."

[shaidar]

Hawk

"I'm not sure why matters that much...although thinking about it, how important it is to them would indicate how much resources they are willing to allocate to the job and how quickly they will let it go if things go south."

[Rex]

Kane

"It may also give us a clue as to where they took her."

[gurusql]

Boots

"The reasons could be plentiful, but knowing why often helps to find the limits the holding force will got to and invest in the capture."

[Teflon]

Perhaps we should contact the national space agency and see if they have recieved any communications from any shady types about ransom or similar. of course we may put ourselves in the crosshairs at that point.
or maybe bring up satellite pics of the area and see if we can find any warehouses or hangers big enough to hide the plane in.

Mister Constantine speaks up," There are several competing mega corporations involved in the bid for this space project according to my sources."

[Rex]

Kane

"All of which are suspects then. How do we narrow it down?"

[shaidar]

Hawk

"Well, I guess we find out which ones have the most assets in the area. Also, ones which might be able to field something like the aircraft we detected. Any overlap is where we focus our attention. "

[gurusql]

Boots

"Which of the mega-corps would helped or hurt by Sabine Jerrico securing a mineral deal in Egypt for a new space vehicle?"

[Harpoonrgm84a]

Constatine turns to a nearby terminal and inputs some commands. "Well, it appears that Horizons Perdus, which Sabine is working for, is in competition with the following corporations: Pax-Italia, ComStar, and XonCris. All 4 corporations have bids in for the project. Sabine's company has a narrow lead in the competition but could still go any other direction at a whim."

[Teflon]

so then who is closest to the deal if sabinnes company shoud lose the contract, whos next in line is what im asking

[Harpoonrgm84a]

If Sabine's company bows out, the other three are pretty much in the same boat. All neck and neck in the race to secure the contract.

[shaidar]

What kind of local presence do the three companies have? What about the means to build a custom aircraft with non-standard radar?

[Rex]

Kane

"Maybe we can track down the radar purchase, that would at least tell us the who."

[Teflon]

Can we look into which of those corps have assets in that area that would be large enough to hold the missing plane.
