 * [Special] The Intelligence Division Resurfaces!


 * ◆Former Captain Amalthea Captured◆

Remnants of the former I.D. unit once again shook the capital. Rising up in the harbor block, they took Duke Dunan captive and began an assault on the castle. However, after a tense battle involving bracers and the Royal Guard, their rampage was halted, the duke rescued, and all involved were arrested. Following Amalthea's capture, all central coup d'etat members have now been secured.


 * ◆Biding Their Time◆

According to the Bracer Guild's investigation, after the coup d'etat former captain Amalthea's group had been in hiding in the abandoned Ravennue Mine. Seeing the duke's release from house arrest as an opportunity, they rose up again and returned to the capital.


 * ◆Fox Falls to the Falcon◆

The former captain's force set off and set their plan in motion by activating a tank they had developed in secret before the coup d'etat. In order to use the tank in their plans, the former I.D. unit needed a high-output orbal engine, such as a new model developed for the Arseille. Amalthea, a.k.a. 'The Fox,' executed a successful plan to steal one of the new models from the harbor, and their uprising was well underway before a joint force of bracers and Royal Guard managed to avert disaster.


 * ◆Giant Shadow Sighted - Related to the Case?◆

On the night of the I.D. incident, several persons reported seeing a giant shadow fly off from the harbor. As it's currently under investigation, the Liberl News was unable to obtain any meaningful info regarding it.

 * 【特集】情報部残党　王都で再決起を目論む！


 * ◆カノーネ元大尉逮捕　人質の公爵もご無事◆

旧情報部の残党が、再び王都の夜を震撼させた.

港湾区にて蜂起した彼らは、デュナン公爵閣下を人質に王城へ進撃を開始. しかし、急行した遊撃士、王室親衛隊が死闘の末にこれを制圧. 公爵閣下を無事に保護し、カノーネ元大尉(27)以下全員を逮捕した.

元大尉の逮捕により、クーデターの中心メンバーは全て拘束されたことになる. 長きにわたった同事件も、ようやくの決着を迎えることとなった.


 * ◆潜伏　そして再決起◆

遊撃士協会の調査によると、クーデター事件後カノーネ元大尉らは捜索を逃れるためボース地方北部のラヴェンヌ廃鉱に潜伏. 再起の機会を窺っていたが、公爵閣下の謹慎処分が解かれるのを機に今回の計画を実行に移したと考えられる.


 * ◆周到な計画　戦車までも用意◆

元大尉らは蜂起に先立ち、情報部で秘密裏に開発されていた導力戦車を用意. その圧倒的な火力を以って一気に王城を制圧する計画を立てていた. 戦車の起動に必要な高出力のには、港湾事務所に保管されていた《アルセイユ》用の新型エンジンを流用するなど、“”と仇名される元大尉の作戦計画は抜け目のない周到なものだった. 結局その企みは遊撃士と親衛隊士の連携の前に潰えるが、一歩間違えば悲劇的な結末を迎えていた可能性もあった. 雌狐の狡猾な瞳は、確かに白ハヤブサの姿を捉えていたのだ.


 * ◆目撃された巨大な影　事件との関連は？◆
