Quote:Breaking news! Colonial cadet, known as Sarah Batiq finally returns!



Cadet, callsign "Blue-3" was gone 5 months ago. All searches of her was without any results. After two weeks of searching, she was announced as MIA (Missed In Action).

She was found in cargo bay of Cardamine smuggler 3 days ago. Batiq was exhausted and hungry.

Today, Liberty-born ensign was strong enough to tell all her story.

"It was routine patrol in Tau-23, I got distress signal from a IMG tagged miner... sorry.. .can't remember his name... he said he is under attack by Outcast pilot. I was near Tau-37 jump hole, so I decided to defend that miner... sadly... I made a mistake, and didn't informed any officer about danger, looks like my pride of Bounty Hunter was too big. I jumped to Tau-37 and headed to direction of miner. My scanners caught two Outcast boggies. After refuse of leaving, I engaged both of them... I bought time for miner to run, I saw him jumping away, I'm not sure, did he called any reinforcement... time was passing really fast, soon my consoles started to lighting red and I realized, that my engines is already burning... soon, I looked to right, and saw rocket coming, there was no chance of evading... BOOM! And my capsule is already floating... everything I remember from that time, was blue tractor beam...
After that, I was interogated in planet... I think that was Malta, after that I was moved to shipyard... sorry, I don't know it's name... I was tortured there. I still remember that stench of Cardamine, floating in air, soon I got used to it, and after some time, I got addiction of it. They isolated me in place, which was without any Cardamine in air, it was biggest torture... few times I was thinking, that I'm going to die... but I didn't surrendered. I had faith.
Oddly, but I managed to realize, that not everyone from Outcasts can be monstreus bandits. One mechanic, who called himself Crow, helped me to escape. I was hiding in cargo bay 3 days, I think..."

Sarah says, she is planning return to her duty and complete her cadet trial period.

"I know, that addiction will make everything worse, and I won't be always trusted, but you know, I DON'T CARE"- Says Batiq.
