  1. Aircraft Containing a Deadly Chemical Threatens Parade

  2. July 14 • Police receive a report from an untested informant that a small start-up civil aviation private firm in the Kyoto / Osaka area (ostensibly South Korean owned) is in reality a front for North Korea. • Preliminary police checks indicate that the firm “Fly High Inc” is a legitimate one representing French and U.S. manufacturers of small crop-dusting air planes for sale or lease. Of note is the fact that the firm has volunteered the services of four of its planes to do a fly-over free of charge of the parade of the Yamahoko Floats at the Gion festival in Kyoto on 17 July, dispensing different colored smoke to add to the overall festiveness of the events.

  3. July 15 • Australian authorities advise their Japanese counterparts that they have reason to believe that one of the escaped perpetrators of the Bali bombings a few years ago, Mohammed-al-Quid, is in Japan using an alias of Franklin Smith with a fake Singaporean passport. Quid, it turns out, is a professional pilot and the Australians believe he is working in Japan for an aviation firm. • Further investigation tracks Smith to a small apartment in Osaka. He has fled. Police, however, uncovered a document showing he is employed by Fly High Inc., and a large notebook entitled “Plans.” 10 pages contained in the notebook are encoded, however, and are proving difficult to decipher. From the format of the notebook it appears that there might be as many as four plans described in the coded material.

  4. July 16 • U.S. intelligence officials advise their Japanese counterparts that they have been trailing a suspected illegal shipment of anthrax, but lost the trail in Singapore a month ago. The name Franklin Smith came up in this investigation. 15:00 • First discussions with senior Kyoto political officials take place. They are most reluctant to cancel the Yamahoko parade where 500,000 attendees are expected to appear by 09:00 on the next morning. • At least eight other less formal gatherings in the center of the city are expected to take place during the day in the city center

  5. 17:00 • Three full chemical transport vehicles containing phosgene, a deadly chemical, have been reported missing from a large chemical firm in Osaka. They appear to have been stolen. One was noticed early in the day on the road to Kyoto, but its exact location is unknown. 19:20 • A joint meeting has been called to make final determinations on how to proceed in the situation.

  6. July 17 08:00 • Police advise that all Fly High small planes have been impounded. They have, however, learned in the last few minutes that another small firm, “Air Efficiency” had a similar contract for a fly-over of the Kyoto parade, and that three smoke emitting planes left an airfield 45 minutes from Kyoto to complete his mission. No background or other information is available on this activity.
