My name is Jonathan Seabourne, captain of the luxury liner Breezewood and chairman of Orbital Spa and Cruise. A few hours ago, one of our liners, Reverie, under command of Captain Theobald Franklin, was attacked and crippled by a ship flying Junker colors in Omega-7. The vessel opened fire before issuing demands and continued to fire upon the liner before said demands could be met. The ship had to be abandoned with significant loss of life of our crew. Fortunately, there were no passengers aboard, or this could have quickly escalated to even more of a tragedy.

Obviously, by your very nature and by deliberate design, the Congress does not speak for all Junkers. However, we would appreciate a statement condemning the nature of this attack and a reminder that Orbital is a civil organization. We always seek out understandings that lets everyone fly away happy, and we encourage all parties to negotiate first and fire second. We prosper more by working together.

Incidentally, we have also placed a bounty on the vessel in question, one "Silver_Chariot". Should the Congress or any of its members bring this individual to justice, they would be handsomely compensated and it would go a long way to rebuilding faith in the Junker community on the part of OS&C.

I figured as much. Having been in a similar position with independent franchisee's smuggling under OS&C's colors, I appreciate the position of being held responsible for someone over whom you have no real authority. To be clear, I don't hold the congress responsible. I know this pilot isn't one of yours. I just have directors and shareholders asking for SOME tangible action. Being able to say that the Congress condemns the attack but admits they don't have jurisdiction over the pilot in question is something I can throw to them, so I thank you for it even though we both ultimately know it is meaningless.

Your repair offer is something I'll pass along to captain Franklin, though I'd understand if he wouldn't be the most trusting of people at this point in time.
