Notes: Since this happened at sea I could only locate the nearest city for where this occured. I selected this time because this is the moment Israeli boats fire torpedoes hitting the starboard side of the Liberty creating a 40ft hole & killing 25 crewmen. For the reading I took Uranus & Pluto conjunct the Ascendent along with Moon squaring it.
Ian: "what do you think these riddles mean as a whole? Explain this detailed summary of events."

Chatgpt 4o Mini: "These riddles describe a naval reconnaissance vessel operating in hostile waters when it suddenly came under fire from supposed allies. Crew members were busy monitoring foreign ships and collecting intelligence when aircraft and gunboats launched a coordinated attack. Despite clearly visible markings and frantic distress calls, the ship was strafed, bombed, and shelled, leaving large sections of its hull shattered and many sailors wounded or worse. Confusion reigned as survivors scrambled to fight fires, man lifeboats, and treat the injured, all while under continued assault. In the aftermath, investigators and the public were presented with conflicting explanations—some arguing it was a tragic mistake, others insisting it was deliberate. Families of the victims and many witnesses pressed for a thorough accounting, pointing to delays in sending aid and attempts to suppress discussion of the event. The incident left a deep scar on those who served and provoked ongoing debate over accountability, the fog of war, and the sometimes fraught nature of alliances in combat zones. Despite official findings, the sense of betrayal and unanswered questions has endured for decades."
