Indentification:Tara Williams Location:Omicron Delta Recipient:The Seraphim Subject:Freeport 11 situation
Greetings, The Seraphim,
I'm Tara Williams, the first mate on Tethys. I hope there still someone on this channel to hear me, I'm afraid most of our people were in Delta when Freeport 11 was attacked. Alex left me in charge of Tethys at Newport in Sigma-13, while he himself took Meridian, our Enterprise liner, to Freeport 11 to evacuate casualties.
The last time I heard from him was actually yesterday when he departed to Ames station to pick up medical supplies for the Freeport. I assume that he made it to Delta in a few hours before the blast. I'm sure that if he had left before and weren't there at the time of the explosion, he would have contacted us already. Thus, I fear the worst.
As soon as we heard about these events, we assembled five rescue teams of our men and freelancers from Newport, and set course to Delta. We approached Freeport 11 to find it engulfed in some kind of ionized cloud, irradiated and sparkling with static. We dispatched the teams only to find that station's electronics is fried, the most of the station is depressurized. Looks like both main and reserve power systems were destroyed completely. Most ships docked to the station also fried and dead.
We saved a pilot from one of the fighters that didn't make it to the exit from the dock before the blast. We also evacuated seven survivors from one area inside the station that still had air, and recovered ten dead bodies from what remains of the biodome. We didn't found Alex, or anyone else who I know.
From the footage the Team Two took in the docking area looks like that Meridian or some very very similar ship is still docked with the station. However, we could not stay around for any longer due to heavy nomad presence and hazardous influence of the cloud. Two of our men were injured as well, one burned from getting to close to melting reactor block, another one from stray blast from lesser Nomad form.
We retreated to Dabadoru station and as soon as I found a more suitable vessel, maybe a fighter, I will get back to Freeport 11. I will keep searching for Alex, and I hope against odds that he made it.
