[font=Comic Sans Ms]This is Rhyme, captain of the IND's Invisible Hand. I recieved and responded to Freeport 1's distress call.
The scene that awaited me seemed to be the aftermath of a larger conflict. A single Corsair Battleship remained in the region, laying siege to the base. Clever as usual I had announced my intentions of rendering aid prior to reaching the freeport and the attacking vessel returned its rather strict dissatisfaction with my proposal of lending aid.
That's when the Juggy appeared. For a moment. It was rather taken apart by the Corsair.
I opted to remain on the scene long enough to secure what escape pods I could, following which I made for what might possibly be a docking so hasty as to hardly qualify for contact to take on what wounded from prior combat that I could accommodate. Then I blasted out of the area with a course laid in for, lacking a better destination, Gran Canaria under advisement of a Zoner Eagle in the region.
I'm currently returning to render additional aid in evacuating any non-combatant populations. The 'ol bird is pretty damn well shot up but she's got enough juice in her to make another break for it.

Greetings
My name is Maximus and my team is working right now to bring the Freeport back to life...as it looks now the docking bays and mooring spots aren't working or are working on the point that only supply ships can use them...please if you need to rearm and you are looking for a shelter , seek it eslewhere till the repairs are done. Any supply ship comming to FP1 will have time to make his crew rest and ship ready to go others please do what you have to and leave the docking bay , you must make place for the supplies.

The video feed is just static. The voice is heavily distorted, but more then audible, it's just possible to tell that it's a woman speaking.
Hello Zoners, I've been working with White Icarus, and Omicron to deliver surplies to your damaged station. Lets just say we've been hired by a third party.
I don't wish too give anyone my name, so I go by the same name as my ship, Coral Fang, or just simply, Fang.
We arrived after the storm had past, but the damage still visible, I just dropped off a shipment of pharmaceuticals and oxygen, my crew are helping you unload it now, their identities are no problem, it's just mine that must be kept a secret.
I would also ask for your permission that while we're assisting with your repairs, that this 'Fang' can operate from Freeport One, until the repairs are well on their way at least.
Trust me, I can make it worth your while.
SINGLE LOST!

This is Klaus Strausburg speaking, my transport is currently on ze way full of ship hull panels, food, oxygen, und h-fuel. Ze food und oxygen's purpose should be fairly obvious, und ze ship hull panels may be able to be utilized to temporarily repair ze station. Ze h-fuel should be quite useful in ze future, I am thinking. Klaus out!
