He was on the maiden voyage of the Ramissle Trade Group, which currently consisted of 3 of the Farragut's coming back from Sicily. Capitan Demorow started to pace again. All of the sudden, a huge blast shook the ship. The seven hundered crates of white wine the ship was holding blew to peices in the ships cargo hold , and the massive explosion blew off the cover of the massive ship.

"Well, what do you have so far?" Ramissile Intelligence Agency Terrorism Officer Robert Stillwell,who stood on the deck of one a surviving merchant ship was speaking to his subordinate Perry Block about the disaster. "Well sir, the ship has massive fracture lines along its port side, and the aft has been blown to peices from the torpedo room explosion. Divers have been searching for hours, but it appears that no one survived." he replied. Robert stood in deep thought for a moment, than asked "What was the explosion caused by?" "A couple large C4 explosives sir, probally about three of four. Those mob bosses King Ramon has connections with, there probally to blame." Perry said. Robert nodded his head, and went to his temporary office on the ship. From there he wrote his report on the situation, and sent it to RIA Director Matthew Logen. Matt then forwarded the report to the President, who made a very tough disicion, and scheduled his very importaint adress to the nation.
