It was so successful at this that it was welcomed by the markets of Hollywood, the Empire State, and Pacifica and has since found its way onto the used-aircraft markets of the world. Heavily armed for a civilian autogyro, the nimble Hoplite is used by dozens of security-conscious companies across the continent. 3041 [CSB9I]The Focke-Wulf Hollehund, or "Hellhound," was one of the main Luftwaffe planes of the mid-1930s. One of the first German fighters produced since the Great War, the Hellhound is an agile, fast fighter, recently released on the international market. The Hellhound is still a mainstay of the German Air Force and sees service wherever German zeps patrol. 3042 [CSB9I]This older British light bomber has seen action around the world in the service of the Empire. The Balmoral has found itself the mainstay of British colonial bomber support in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. 3043 [CSB9I]The Hughes Bloodhawk is the latest in a line of superlative aircraft from Hollywood's premiere aircraft manufacturer: Hughes Aviation. The Bloodhawk is the epitome of style and function, engineered as much for appearance as for deadly effectiveness. 3044 [CSB9I]The Fairchild Brigand first saw service in 1935, earning a reputation as a reliable and effective combat plane and becoming enormously popular. The Brigand is surprisingly agile and well armed and is a superior anti-zep craft. 3045 [CSB9I]The Devastator is one of the first combat aircraft designed by Hughes Aviation. Though somewhat outdated, its array of weapons, fearsome appearance, and long range make it a favorite of sky pirates! 3046 [CSB9I]The Hughes Firebrand - introduced in 1937 - is one of the first combat aircraft designed as a flying wing. Currently, all but one of a handful of the sixty Firebrands are flown by Hollywood squadrons, notably the famous Hollywood Knights. 3047 [CSB9I]The J2 Fury - a favorite of the Black Swan's forces - is the latest aircraft developed by the firm founded by the modern "fathers of flight": the Wright Brothers. The J2 Fury primarily operates as an interceptor, due to its mix of speed and armament, but is also an effective anti-zep plane. 3048 [CSB9I]Developed under an alliance between the Confederation of Dixie and the British Empire, the Kestrel is a mainstay of the Dixie air militias.

Everyone was rich a week ago, but today you can count the number of millionaires left in America on one hand.\n The darlings of yesterday's stock market--like Chicago entrepreneur Jonathan Kahn, munitions manufacturer Lyle Munz, Great War fighter hero Nathan Zachary, or steel kingpin Edwin Cort--showed the world how to take a small investment and some American ingenuity and rise from obscurity to fly with the big boys of Wall Street. Now, however, they've had their feathers plucked.\n Asked to comment on his fall from grace, Zachary lit his last cigar with his last five-dollar bill and replied, "Well boys, easy come, easy go."\n These former titans of Wall Street aren't the only ones with money trouble. Washington D.C. claims it lacks the resources and influence to guarantee its own outstanding loans. President Hoover has called on America's remaining millionaires and the states to contribute to an economic defense fund. Failing voluntary participation, heavy taxes may be levied that\n\n~story continues on page 3, column 2~ 40004 [IMP36]United States Remembered 40005 [TNR14] It started seven years ago today. Texas seceded from what had been known as the United States of America. Hollywood followed, then the Carolinas, Utah, our own New York--and the remainder of the states soon splintered from the Union.\n The cause? Historians often cite the failure of the proposed Prohibition laws (which led to individual states determining their own alcohol policies and thus created armed borders between "wet" and "dry" territories) as the dividing issue. Others claim it was the influenza epidemic of 1920, that year's subsequent low voter turnout, and the rise of the Regionalist party in the federal government. Everyone agrees, however, that the event which heralded the end of the "united" states was the stock market crash of 1929. A ruined national economy set the stage for the states' rise to power.\n Conflicts between these new nation-states destroyed the rail and highway systems that once crossed North America. Massive cargo zeppelins replaced them, commanding the air lanes and making trade possible between friendly nations.\n Today, the industrial, economic, and military powers of the nations of North America rival any in the world. Fleets of aircraft crisscross the continent and are the lifelines of our nations.\n With this new prosperity, however, a new evil has appeared, one that never plagued the old United States: aerial pirates and privateers. Efforts to eradicate these groups have only prompted them to organize into larger gangs and spend their ill-gotten gains on deadlier aircraft and zeppelin battleships.\n The skies above North America are the new frontier, and today's pilots are to be applauded, or feared, but above all respected for their\n(story continues on page 6) 40006 [COUR12]\nArticles of Piracy 40007 [COUR12]To retain our sovereignty, freedom, and independence, we the undersigned declare our autonomy from any state, militia, or law enforcement agency and enter into a league of friendship for a common defense and the security of our liberties and welfare.

The cave, at first believed to be an unusual dormant volcanic vent, is in fact manmade, hewn into living rock.\n The idol is believed to be Lono, the ancient Hawai'ian god of the harvest. Its three-ton bulk was carved from native basalt and inlaid with semiprecious aventurine, black pearls, and an intricate mosaic of coral bits. Archaeologists from the University of Pacifica estimate this artifact to be over seven hundred years old.\n "It was beautiful--yet, at the same time, oddly disquieting," said Nathan Zachary, leader of the aerial expedition. "How they dragged that rock up the steep hillside and then managed to go about\n\n~continued~ 40012 [IMP36]PIRATES BLAST BRITS! 40013 [TNR14] The internationally notorious air pirate, Nathan Zachary, and his cohorts (the "Fortune Hunters") opened fire and decimated a convoy of three British trucks yesterday. The trucks were attempting to cross a suspension bridge along the treacherous Helipio Road when Mr. Zachary began his strafing run.\n Subsequent detonations destroyed the bridge, although investigating officials are not certain what caused these explosions: rocket fire from the pirates or what was termed by investigating officials as "suspicious cargo" within the trucks.\n Asked to explain the incident, Lt. Colonel Samuel Forsythe, the British officer leading the convoy, replied, "This vicious attack was wholly unwarranted. Our expedition in no way threatened Mr. Zachary. We have filed charges on him and his gang of cutthroats, and we shall pursue their capture and punishment to the full extent of the law."\n When pressed to explain what two dozen off-duty British naval officers were doing on this road, Lt. Colonel Forsythe stated that they were "merely collecting native orchids to send to the London arboretum." However, this does not explain the crates of excavation equipment and scores of rifles, ammunition, and explosives allegedly found among the wreckage by the local police.\n Other than to say he is looking into the matter, the British Ambassador has thus far declined to comment on the situation.\n The Hawai'ian royal family has issued a statement that they are concerned both with the increasing pirate activity in our skies and with the unauthorized activities of the British government within our sovereign.\n(Continued on page 6) 40015 [VIN14] It has been a week since our captured Spanish Galleon, The Theresé, scuttled after we lost sight of the Golden Hind in that typhoon. I blame Drake not for sailing on. He could not possibly have known we survived.\n\n Today I recant the curses I had heaped upon this place. It is true that my fellows and I have lost a king's ransom in the doubloons and silver ingots plundered from the Spanish, but what we have gained, no riches could buy.\n\n Our first blessing is the bounty of this island. It has fruit and game, fresh water and shellfish--food we have not seen the likes of since we left the Americas months ago. I am regaining the two stone I had lost on the voyage.\n\n Second, we are alive. As I reconsider Drake's plan to follow Magellan's westward passage, I think we may yet outlive our crewmates on the Golden Hind. I hope they are well, and wish them God's speed. I fear they may be the cursed ones, not I.\n\n Third, and not the least of our blessings, are the natives of this island. They treat us as honored guests. They aided us today in the recovery of supplies and a chest of emeralds from the Valparaíso wreckage--before she washed away to depths unknown. We have failed as yet to comprehend their language, but their women smile when they see us, and what more language does one require?\n\n The day has been long. I go now to watch the moon rise over the ocean, to eat and drink my fill, and to rest before the blaze of a bonfire. I cannot say what adventures lie before us, only that for the first time in a year, I am content. 40016 [COUR12]13 July 1937\n\nDear Mr. Zachary, 40017 [COUR12]It gives me great pleasure to enclose a check for $900.00 (Hollywood funds), payable to you. This constitutes the advance payment on our option which secures the publication rights of the journal of Sir Francis Drake's lost crewmember. I am more convinced than ever that our British audience will find it as thrilling as I have. (Though perhaps not as thrilling as your last encounter with His Majesty's military, eh?)\n\nOur staff is presently determining how best to publish this remarkable discovery. To that end we would like to arrange to photograph any crewmember artifacts and, of course, the remains of the Spanish Galleon NUESTRA SENORA DE LA VALPARAISO.\n\nI urge you to secure film rights as soon as possible.

You were magnificent!\n\nI have told and retold my father of your wondrous deeds.

Your exposure and defeat of one of these forces has been of some small assistance in our ongoing efforts to retain our sovereign rights.\n\nFrom this day forward we shall think of you as our distant cousin and you shall ever be welcome among the hundred isles of Hawai'i.\n\nMay the war god, Ku, sit upon your wing and ride with you into battle.\n\nWith respect,\n\nKing Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana'ole 40022 [CENT24]Armature Deployment and Calibration 40023 [BEL14] To deploy hook-bearing armature, depress lever B while engaging clutch mechanism. Hydraulic pressure must be 3435 lbs. / sq. inch or greater to uncouple safety interlocks. Directional orientation is enabled by lever C1, for horizontal variance, and lever B2 for vertical variance (see figures 12d and 12e, respectively). Employing both B and C levers simultaneously will precipitously drain available hydraulic pressure and may cause loss of control or, alternately, may cause controls to freeze.\n\nIn the event of control failure, repressurize hydraulic lines by opening release hydraulic valve C0 and engaging auxiliary generator to 4500 rpm.\n\n Telescopic load-bearing members may only be activated and extended after positional controls have been locked. Reroute hydraulic pressure by closing valve C1 and open three-way valves C3-D2. If pressure exceeds 4500 lbs. / sq. inch, disengage armature and vent values. Do not vent, however, if auxiliary generator engages.\n When calibrating position calipers, deplete hydraulic pressure to 2300 lbs. / sq. inch and align with alignment rail.

According to witnesses on the ground, Zachary's forces engaged the British Balmoral formation, attacking with rockets and cannon fire. Zachary himself maneuvered his plane into close proximity of one of the British aircraft, and leapt onto the bomber's wing to comandeer it while his copilot flew his own plane away. "It was very nearly a suicide run," said Pele'okana, a farmer who observed the battle. "An inch off the mark and I would have been digging him out of my land."\n British officials have refused to comment on the matter in any official capacity, though His Majesty, King Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana'ole, has issued a communiqué to the British Ambassador to the League of Nations in Columbia, demanding an explanation as to why British military aircraft were present within the Kingdom's borders. (Continued on page 4) 40026 [IMP24]King of Hawai'i Awards\nMedal of Valor to Hero Pirate! 40027 [TNR14] In a lavish ceremony last evening, His Royal Highness, King Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana'ole, awarded the prestigious Order of Ku Citation for Valor to an unlikely recipient: noted air pirate Nathan Zachary! The medal, named for the Hawai'ian god of war, has never before been given to someone from the mainland.\n Zachary earned his medal during a fierce battle with a squadron of British "Balmoral" attack bombers that had invaded our sovereign territory. Though the British Ambassador has declined comment, many believe that Zachary's timely intervention saved the Kingdom of Hawai'i from a British invasion. 40028 [IMP36]BRITAIN'S BEST IS BEATEN! 40029 [TNR14] The thunder of rockets and the staccato crack of bullets shattered the tropical calm of the Kingdom of Hawai'i two days ago, as Royal Air Force planes battled Nathan Zachary and his fearsome Fortune Hunters pirate gang. Though the cause of the battle is unclear, there is widespread speculation that the Fortune Hunters thwarted the spearhead of an attempted British colonization of Hawai'i. (British officials have denied all such claims.)\n Pirates and Brits duked it out over the jeweled Kapuahi islands, culminating in a one-on-one duel between Nathan Zachary and the leader of the RAF flight, Major Sir Charles Emmett Winthrop. During the battle, Zachary downed Winthrop, injuring the British fighter ace and leaving him in hospital in serious but stable condition.\n Winthrop is a veteran British aviator, who began his career with the Royal Flying Corps during the Great War. Winthrop amassed a stunning number of kills during the war, receiving a battlefield promotion after making ace a mere three days after his assignment to a combat unit. Even more stunning: Winthrop had lied about his age to join the war effort, enlisting in the British military at the tender age of fifteen. During his first combat mission, Winthrop racked up enough kills to capture the (Continued on page 8) 40030 [IMP36]Engineering Whiz Joins Boeing 40031 [TNR14]Eminent scientist Dr. Johann Fassenbiender joins the Boeing Aircraft Corporation based in Pacifica's Seattle area.

Led by the internationally renowned privateer the Black Swan, the pirates looted the zeppelin then vanished before reinforcements arrived from nearby Boeing Field.\n Unconfirmed reports also indicate that a kidnapping occurred, but Soviet officials vehemently deny this.\n "No passengers was in any danger at any time," said Vladimir Pystoriov, captain of the Worker's Voyage. "We guarantee total passenger's security absolutely. These pirates were beaten back. These pirates, they ran like whipped dogs."\n But asked to comment on how "beaten" pirates could have plundered the ship's safe, Pystoriov had no comment.\n Eyewitnesses claim there were two pirate gangs involved in the aerial heist: the Black Swans and the Fortune Hunters. It is unclear at this time if the two were cooperating in a joint criminal venture or fighting over the Soviet prize.\n "All I know was there was a lot of rockets and them bullets and rockets flying up there," said eyewitness Hank Lundgrin. "It was like looking up and trying to count raindrops in a downpour."

Late-breaking reports from Sotheby's in London, however, revealed yesterday that the brilliant yellow diamond "Captured Sun" went on the auction block. This treasure was cut from the 300-carat Imperius Solarus once owned by Napoleon Bonaparte. Later, the French Republic gifted the gemstone to Czar Nicholas I, and it remained a Romanov family heirloom until the Russian civil war.\n "Nathan Zachary has stolen a part of history," declared Russian Ambassador Yopotov. "We will find him and the remainder our treasures. They belong to no single man or woman, but to every man and woman of the People's Republic."\n Rumors abound as to what Zachary has done with the rest of the Soviet treasure. Some say it is buried atop Mount Rainier in Washington. Others note that an unusually large yellow diamond was worn last Saturday night at the Metropolitan Opera House by femme fatale privateer the Black Swan (and that the diamond auctioned at Sotheby's was actually a fake). Still others claim that Nathan Zachary threw a three-day party--complete with bubbling Dom Pérignon fountains and flaming (con't. p. 4) 40037 [FREE18]Nathan,\n You have again proved yourself to be a true gentleman of the skies.

No deaths are reported in the attack, as the tank crew and fuel truckers immediately fled the refueling area when they saw the fighter planes bearing down on them, and the attack on the train was ineffectual.

Reportedly the joint effort rescued a cargo zeppelin from a large squadron of Black Hat fighters and either destroyed or crippled the Dark Derby, one of the Black Hat military zeppelins. Zachary reportedly begged Blake to let him help with the Black Hats, and that he allowed Blake fighters to fire on Fortune Hunters without returning fire.\n All of Sky Haven is buzzing with rumors about why Zachary and Blake would team up, and why Zachary would work, even temporarily, with a scourge on air piracy like Paladin Blake.\n "Zachary's got to be working an angle," says Harmony Brown, "There's no love between Blake and Zachary; they were just dogfighting a few weeks ago in Pacifica." When pressed, Brown admitted she couldn't see what angle Zachary could be working.\n Local figure Karl Regen said: "I always knew Zachary was soft. He's probably using Blake to help him in his vendetta against the Hats, but this shows you how far he'll sink, getting together with Blake against one of his own." ~continued page 2, Zachary & Blake~ 40090 [CENT36]ZACHARY'S BATTLING BEAUTIES\nZachary and the Girls Cave Black Hats 40091 [TNR14]Renowned "Gentleman Pirate" Nathan Zachary is well known for his way with women, and it shows in his squadron pilots!

What initially appeared to be a cut-and-dried case of feuding within the criminal fraternity has since turned into a powderkeg of conspiracy, treachery and violence.\n Empire State Police discovered a number of stolen goods on the scene, many reported stolen while under the protection of Sacred Trust, Inc., North America's newest aviation security firm. In a surprising twist, Sacred Trust, Inc., has been tentatively identified as the owner of the warehouse demolished in Zachary's raid.\n Further complicating matters, several of the Black Hats arrested in the aftermath of Zachary's attack have claimed that Lucas Miles-a former associate of Nathan Zachary, and a wanted criminal for acts of piracy and murder-was the mastermind behind the STI/Black Hat conspiracy. STI officials could not be reached for comment. "At this time, we have no knowledge of Mr. Miles' whereabouts, if indeed he's even alive," said police spokesman Captain Franklin Kincaid.

But what had at first appeared to be a dispute between rival crime gangs has apparently escalated into a bona fide case of domestic conspiracy and corruption ... with a healthy dose of international intrigue thrown in for good measure.\n Zachary's attack occurred as members of the infamous Black Hat pirate squadron were transferring several crates of their ill-gotten loot to a waiting ocean-going freighter, the Steinmann, docked nearby. Subsequent police investigation has revealed that the warehouse is allegedly owned by Lucas Miles, a wanted criminal and known pirate.\n Though Blake Aviation Security has refrained from public statements, sources within the Empire State government have revealed that Blake and Zachary reportedly uncovered evidence of collusion between STI and the Black Hats. "Lucas' involvement is one more piece to this dirty puzzle," said Empire State detective Ron Seiden, the chief investigator on the "Black Hats" case. "This office will continue its efforts to rip these worms from the Big Apple's core."\n During the raid, Zachary attacked a freighter that was originally believed to be operated by members of Black Hat gang.

We will get Lana Cooper back, and we will make Zachary pay for what he's done."\n Lana Cooper, the star of such films as The Sands of the Sahara and She Wore Red, has been most recently highlighted in the 40144 [IMP24]CURTAIN CALL FOR MILES!\nZACHARY SAVES MANHATTAN! 40145 [BEL18B]Nathan Zachary: Cutthroat Pirate or\nGentleman Privateer? 40146 [BEL14]Astonished farmers at Russet Ranch watched as a Hughes Devastator landed in their fields at dawn.

"The zep was on fire. The crew and passengers must have taken the last plane and abandoned ship. I was hiding in the closet, but I guess they forgot about me. When I got out, the place was empty, and like I said, flames were everywhere."\n "Mr. Zachary found me and offered to escort me to safety. He said he'd throw in a dozen roses later for all the trouble he'd caused. What's a girl supposed to say to that?"\n "I thought we were safe once we got in his plane, but Texas Rangers came out of nowhere and shot at us.

Believe me, I can't wait for him to deliver those roses, too!"\n Unlike his pirate counterparts, Jonathan "Genghis" Kahn and "Marshall" Bill Redmann, cold-blooded murderers that we are all too familiar with, Nathan Zachary has a streak of nobility and style that runs counter to the stereotypical aerial bandit.

During the raid, the pirates snatched the "Spruce Goose"--a mammoth, ambitious new seaplane design--from under the "watchful eyes" of studio security forces and aviatrix Charlotte "Charlie" Steele and her Hollywood Knights squadron.\n The Spruce Goose had been hangared on the film lot in preparation for a massive press unveiling later that evening.

"Nathan Zachary and his pack of thieves got lucky this time. They won't be so fortunate again."\n Despite his strong words, many insiders believe that this fiasco may spell the end for Johnson. Hughes Aviation stock prices plummeted on the Hollywood Exchange after word of the theft--hot on the heels of the Fortune Hunters daring abduction of Colossal Pictures starlet Lana Cooper--and Johnson's days at Hughes appear to be numbered.

Cops don't pay in German gold.\n\nEven weirder, the plane has vanished. Nobody's seen it, nobody knows anything about it. It's like it never existed. You know me, Nathan ... I keep my ear to the ground, and with something as big as the Goose, well, somebody would've said something. But there hasn't been a peep.\n\nWatch your six, pirate. Something's fishy here.\n\nFast Eddie 40151 [TNR14]Dateline: Manhattan\n\n Nathan Zachary, during his one-man war on the Sacred Trust, Inc.-Black Hats conspirators, last night defeated a strike force of German Hellhound fighters attempting to recover accused German agent Lucas Miles. According to sources within the Empire State military, Zachary uncovered an unspecified number of German military airships in international waters, perilously close to the Empire State's airspace.\n Reports vary widely in regards to the size of the German armada, however. Some sources claim that at least five Beowulf-class airships were present, accompanied by at least three surface destroyers and an unknown number of fighters and support craft. Others claim that only a single zeppelin, part of a covert operation in North America, was nearby.\n The German ambassador to the League of Nations has declined comment, as have President LaGuardia and several of his chief advisors. However, the Broadway Bombers' premier squadron, the Madison Venturers, has been placed on full alert in the wake of 40152 [BEL18B]Zachary Aerobatics Show\nStartles Citizens 40153 [BEL14] A recent visit by famous air pirate Nathan Zachary included a stunning display of aerobatics as the pirate plunged through aerodromes, screamed by landing strips and giant signs, and buzzed startled citizens going about their late-night activities. Zachary's display caught the attention of dozens of NYC citizens, who reported the activities as everything from Broadway Bomber skyscraper drills, to joyriding pirates, to an invasion by the Industrial States. Police were tied up for hours responding to false reports, according to Detective Ronald Seiden.\n No one was quite as surprised as our cover girl, Miss Katherine O'Shea, caught in a fantastic blast of wind that ruffled her feathers considerably, although this incident was actually blamed on the gyrotaxi seen passing by. 40154 [PEP18] Saw Doc Fassenbiender's friend ...

Despite the brutality of this unprovoked attack, the crew of the Oktober was able to prevent the pirates from capturing the ship's cargo. Unfortunately, the crew was forced to scuttle the ship.\n\nThe pirates, Capitalist opportunists calling themselves the "Fortune Hunters," were finally driven off by the People's airship Vostok, assigned to protect shipments from the Motherland to the dangerous and unpredictable West. "They were no match for our guns and the bravery of our crews," said Captain Tamarlain Salaty, the captain of the Vostok. "They ran like the cowardly dogs they are."\n\nWith machine guns and cannon emplacements blazing away at the cowardly, craven attackers, the fearless Soviet crews bravely repelled the initial waves of the attack .....\n\n ..... Looks like the Russkies are covering \n up how bad we pasted 'em, Boss. 40157 [TNR14]Dateline: Manhattan\n\nBullets flew and rockets burst over Broadway last night as Nathan Zachary, privateer and gentleman of the Empire State, battled exposed air pirate Lucas Miles, the secret power behind Sacred Trust Incorporated and the Black Hat Gang. Miles had launched a random shooting spree on the heart of downtown in an apparent effort to extract vengeance on the citizens of Manhattan. Miles's zeppelin Dante fired broadsides into downtown buildings as Black Hat and STI planes strafed streets and launched rockets into traffic. Only the heroics of the Fortune Hunters prevented an even greater slaughter of the innocent.\n "He really took out the trash," said an admiring Loyle Crawford, leader of the famous Madison Venturers Squadron of our own Broadway Bombers. "If Zachary hadn't been around, the attack would have cost dozens more lives." The Broadway Bombers were absent from last night's fray, for reasons as yet unexplained. (story continues on page 11)\n 40158 [TNR14]A fierce battle raged over downtown Manhattan between the security forces of STI and the Fortune Hunters late last night. Lucas Miles' forces were defending the Dante, an STI zeppelin firing randomly into downtown buildings. The fighting continued for several minutes with no clear victor emerging until the Black Swan, privateer for the Empire State, arrived to assist the Fortune Hunters in their struggle to save innocent Empire State citizens.\n The people of Manhattan are forever grateful to Nathan Zachary and the Black Swan for their heroic deeds against the villainous schemes of Lucas Miles, standing while our own forces were unable to respond to the crisis.\n Unfortunately, the Empire State Broadway Bombers are training in an undisclosed location, and the other Manhattan militias were unavailable for various reasons, making Miles' attack a particular threat on all of those who were out (story continues on page 9) 40159 [CENT36]ZACHARY & BLAKE CLEAR\nSKIES OF BLACK HATS 40160 [TNR14]Nathan Zachary and Paladin Blake apparently shot down all of the Black Hat fighters that attacked a cargo convoy crossing the southern Rockies yesterday afternoon. Why these two old enemies would suddenly ally against a pirate gang is unknown, although both Blake and Zachary are known to have clashed with the Black Hats in the past. What mysterious secret links these two natural enemies? Blake claims that STI and Black Hats are the same organization, used to set up easy pickings for the Black Hats and steal market share for STI. 40161 [CENT36]ZACHARY & BLAKE\nUNCOVER STI CORRUPTION 40162 [TNR14]Paladin Blake announced yesterday morning that he has evidence that Sacred Trust Incorporated has passed on shipping, route, and security information to the Black Hat Gang, a pirate gang that has plagued Blake Aviation Security for weeks. Blake reports that this revelation was brought to him by internationally known air pirate Nathan Zachary, the eccentric gentleman pirate who recently rampaged across Pacifica and Hollywood, causing hundreds of millions of dollars of damage.\n Officials in several nations questioned this accusation by Blake against his main rival in the air security industry, noting that Zachary's word is hardly evidence of collusion between the widely respected air security company STI and the reviled Black Hat Gang, and that a conspiracy between STI and the Black Hats is extremely convenient for the beleaguered Blake, whose company has recently suffered tremendous setbacks from the Black Hats, STI, and the Fortune Hunters. One Empire State official went so far as to call Blake s announcement a "paranoid conspiracy theory."\n Why Blake would ally with Nathan Zachary of the Fortune Hunters is a mystery, considering the huge embarrassment and millions of dollars of losses the Fortune Hunters have caused BAS. Johnny Johnson of Hughes Aviation issued a statement condemning Blake and Zachary, notin\nthat Zachary is known for his hatred of capitalism and modern society and claiming " 40163 [CENT24]CURTISS-WRIGHT\nJ2 FURY 40164 [CENT24]\nBEEPER ROCKET 40165 [CENT24]BRISTOL TYPE 140 BALMORAL 40166 [CENT24]\nHUGHES BLOODHAWK 40167 [CENT24]\nNITRO-BOOSTER 40168 [CENT24]CURTISS-WRIGHT\nP2 WARHAWK 40169 [CENT24]\nAERIAL TORPEDO 40170 [CENT24]\nFORD HOPLITE
