Ganymede Incident

Ganymede is a big moon of Jupiter with a magnetosphere where Ancient Earth humans led by the International Space Marine Corps first encounter the Ranisch substance back in 2001. There was no station back then, just a single research vessel commanded by former USR-SMC fleet captain Manuel Bronsky detecting strange signals on the radio.

Since Earth communications were jammed & the ship's computers were also heavily constrained by unidentified means of electronic warfare, no official accounts exist of the whole story! Just a brief announcement that 7 space marines have lost their lives in an unfortunate accident on Ganymede, which was not even true.

## Initial setting

Manuel sent down a team of 7 veteran marines known as the **Ganymede Seven** to investigate an unidentified spacecraft on the surface & they quickly encountered a large group of unidentified hostiles initially believed to be rogue MRA operatives: the insignia on the vessel was similar to a proposed national flag of Mars. The circle in the black middle was in fact a smiling sun though, but with a little sickle & hammer on her forehead nonetheless. They were nicknamed the SR's on the radio because of their two greek/cyrillic initials.

### Jezebels

The word **>>** **Ρ α ν α θ α ν <<** was painted in deep red on the hull, with the word **Карго** (EN: Cargo) slightly smaller underneath. The marines were instructed by Manuel to stand down for good. Unwilling to establish any verbal communication, the hostiles flooded the air waves with all sorts of random Earth music.

A spy drone was dispatched to look around, raising a bizarre combination of panic & ridicule in the team: they were these scary amazons much larger than the biggest of them all & they didn't seem to wear any space suits. They were these darkie fremen girls, just a lot bigger, with a few notable exceptions being white ginger chicks.

### Storm Trooper Girls

They all wore these ridiculously hypersexual tight-fitting light blue suits under their leotard-like shiny black body armors decorated by the smiling Ranathan sun. Also high-heeled green boots rising up to their thighs & black gloves up to their shoulders!

Their heads were covered by splendid light brown scarves, their mouths & noses with jewel-encrusted golden breathing masks, their faces with glittering protective make-up especially around their fluorescent glowing eyes. High ranking babes had massive cleavage exposed, covered in all that fluorescent glittering stuff.

The boss bave was breathing from a cigar-sized mechatronic device instead of a mask.

## Language

The hostiles were chatting on open unencrypted short-wave radio, in an unknown Hellenic language later identified as Ranathan Creole - mistanenly, since it was actually Ranigan Creole. Male voices were also heard in copious amounts, but only 3 of them (all heavy battlefield mentats) were visible. The name "Nadine" was repeated many times, together with Manuel's name as well.

A small set of repeating morphemes known as the **Ranisch words** were later written down by Manuel & sent to his friend Eldar Svoren, with lots of weird speculation in his head on their possible meanings: Ranigan, Ranathan, Ranador, Thanna & so on.

He also heard words they all knew well, like "jawohl" & "kharasho" - both mean "okay" in their respective languages. Also the word "drone" & "hallo" "kish pesht" and also "Ganümeda" as a blatantly obvious reference to the place.

## Apprehension

The marines were instructed to approach the site carefully, but soon they found themselves surrounded by these chicks in a small valley. The girls lined up in the distance, chatting with each other on open FM radio as if they were attending a fashion show.

### Distraction Methods

They were hailed in all Earth languages, but they replied with MP3 songs of each country sent in the order in which they were hailed. As the girls started approaching with the help of decoy holograms, Field Technician Lissner fired two warning shots with her special warning gun & the girls did stop to exchange some flirty looks with the marines, consulting each other for a few seconds.

### Molon Labeh

Suddenly they raised their own guns from their backs, all sorts of big toys with "МОЛОН ЛАБЕЬ" inscribed upon them. They switched to English at last! Speaking with a perfect accent, the big boss babe stepped forth to negotiate with Manuel on the radio, introducing herself as Nadine.

NADINE was like yeah, sorry guys, but this moon is our turf actually. You guys have been very nosey lately, so we have to take these lovely marines as diplomatic envoys, to ensure our future co-operation. Deal?

MANUEL No way, darling, I can't let that happen, you know just I can't!

### No time for BS

You bloody well can, sweetheart, says Nadine, and you will. They haggled a bit about international space law, but then the other chicks got impatient & started yelling in Creole. Nadine says they have no time for this bullshit, so let's just say goodbye. After a few seconds of radio cacophony they start singing & marching.

The seven try to plead for their freedom in vain, so they start firing wax rounds, but the bullets don't even knock the girls down. When they start lashing their whips, the marines quickly fall in unison, shrieking in pain & then all radio communications went dark. Nadine's last words were for Manuel to go check those caves out if he feels like, they look lovely!!

### Vessel

The unidentified vessel was pushing the drone away with a force field all the time, but the drone crashed after the radio blackout so it didn't even matter. Half an hour later, the scopes detected the vessel leaving the site in high speed & Manuel started his engine immediately to follow suit, but in the end he had to stop accelerating in order to save his own life.

### Caves

The Substance was ultimately found by a frantic Manuel in a glowing heart-shaped red box bearing his name in golden letters with an obnoxiously tasteless cursive style, in the middle of an underground catacomb full of Laconic paintings printed on poster paper. They were rigged to catch fire in the oxygen-filled atmosphere as soon as he left.

The stash was ultimately studied by Marton Biotech personnel who started breeding it in a controlled environment: this has ultimately led them to start manufacturing their best-selling new drug called the Mentat.

## Computer Crash

The box just opened itself immediately when Manuel started approaching the jamming range with his spacecraft a few days later. A photograph of the missing marines was transmitted exactly at that moment, with a message telling him to "be a good boy" & give the silver canister to CEO Daniel Marton if he wants to see them ever again. Then the system of the whole vessel just crashed, with all mission data disappearing together with the photograph after a painful re-start.

### Photograph

The five men were all naked & leashed, each sitting in the lap of a big amazon who smiled with passion & pride. The marines were trying to also smile & it didn't go well because the fear in their eyes was unmistakable. The signs of a bio-medical implant were obvious on their bodies, that's how they made them survive the high-G maneuver. Two guys had even scars obviously caused by whipping, although later they admitted to have submitted to that voluntarily.

### CEO Marton

CEO Daniel Marton claims not to know a thing, but thanks Manuel for the canister & transfers a large amont of dollars to his private personal bank account as a sign of gratitude: he suggests that Manuel should leave the ISMC for good & join the Martian cause if he wants to stay updated on their investigations. He points at Jade Lensky through the window, who throws him a passionate kiss in the air from the parking lot.

### Jade

Each amazon looked basically like her, each casually resting her big hand on her prisoner's penis: they wrapped their leashes around their arms as if they were in a BDSM community, just like Manuel & Jade only a few months back! One of the female marines was also sitting there in a black leotard, with an evil smile that made Manuel shiver in dread: she was the brilliant but notoriously anti-social Swiss engineer named Yvonne Lissner who later ended up working for the bad girls indeed.

### Yvonne

That was arguabably the first time the captain saw Yvonne smile, so he was even ashamed of not being happy for her, but errr... Duh!!! She had an unidentified naked man in her lap & unlike the male marines, the poor guy had all the solemnity of a perfectly obedient slave.

The guy was a kinky resourceful RCI stud named Damir North who smelled some of the trouble his mistress was going to make with his professional instinct: he's still with us ever since on Helvetia Prime. The other woman, a passionately altruistic American field medic named Melania Rodriguez, was staying behind in her flight suit with a lot of angry frustration in her body language.

## Comeback in 2017

In early 2017, all the seven marines are found in perfect health on a KMT highliner named Amenhotep marooned in Jupiter's field of gravity. Well, except for that Swiss girl Yvonne whose exact whereabouts were unknown even to Ranigan Central Intelligence! The ship was damaged & boarded by a Willy patrol with a brand new capital ship named Arcturus, with which it seemed to have had a scuffle with.

### KMT Crash Landing

Mars NN Lorelai was sent in to investigate, dealing a humiliating defeat on the Willies in a very short amount of time: their ship was ultimately boarded together with the Amenhotep by a big swarm of seasoned Fidelta mobsters commandeering the Mars NN Donnager to retrieve the marines together with the Ranathan Cargo captain Lorai Ranigan, the mother of Nadine Ranigan.

### Lufthansa Rescue

Noticing a large number of Swiss forces suddenly vectored in, Julian Lensky hailed for help to tow the massive highliner into safety in the name of interstellar brotherhood. That help was ultimately given by a large Lufthansa convoy shipping agrigultural & industrial equipment to Ganymede Station to trade it for basic industrial materials & food.

### Melania Rodriguez

Discussing the situation with us on our light cruiser headed back to a Mars Republic she already knew everything about, Melania confessed to having been their favourite prisoner all along: she was actively co-operating with the ladies in spite of all her disapproval to get something out of her good reputation. She was in fact wearing a glamourous Runa (EN: Latina) flight suit when the Fideltas found her together with the rest of her former team!
