Ripped from the Headlines, SF adventrues

I was just thinking how the situation went down with the Dutch official that went to Crimea to see if the Russian claim that the people there wanted to be part of Russia was true and gun men pinned him in a cafe till he eventually left altogether would make story fodder for an SF adventure. <br /><br />Pale has another police action in the works on Cygnus Omicron IX or on New Pale. An official is sent from the COW to investigate claims. PCs are part of his security detail. Someone does not want the official to do the job he was sent for PCs must ensure his safety. Use a variety of ways to stop the official- distract him with females- the gun men stunt that stymied the Dutch official in crimea, and another means. Extra points if the PCs just decide to get the information themselves dispite the distractable official they are guarding.<br /><br />Submit an adventure seed for a headline that resonates with you.
