It appears you fellows need to do a little more verifying before you let people land on your facilities, sirs. Myself aboard the Bowex)Leeson and Mart Bellock aboard the Bowex)Fenning have just had a rather unpleasant encounter with a Junker, y'see.

The Pilgrim Liner SV-Antares was a pure-bred slaver, last we saw of him yesterday. He attempted to waylay me and abduct a number of Scientists I was moving to Cambridge. We sent him packing with his tail between his legs. Today, we encounter the one and same, this time registered as a Junker. It appears his change of organisation has not resulted in a change of heart, however. When we found him in California, he was filled to the brim with those poor citizens who have been forced into servitude - slaves.

Doing our civic duty, we demanded he transfer his prisoners to us, so that we could shuttle them to Curacao and set them free. We did not think Curacao itself would allow him to moor, considering his past conduct and current actions. It seems we were wrong. Upon reaching Curacao, he requested to dock and docking control quite happily obliged him. Never mind the fact he was hauling slaves. Never mind the fact that one day ago they would have shot him to pieces. Who's on his pay-roll, ey? You fellows need a serious inquiry into your planetary management.

The slaver subsequently vanished into the ether, hiding somewhere on the planet with his cargo of captives. I demand justice be done! Deny his docking rights! Lock down his ship! Liberate the poor slaves who currently languish in his grasp! I am sorry if I overstep myself and my tone is brusk, but this is a topic I feel extremely strongly on, no doubt as you do. Slavery is morally inexcusable. Both our organisations had suffered at the hands of slavers. We should all do our utmost to stamp it out.

Thank you for your rapid response, Sir Beauregard. Bowex appreciates that you are taking this matter seriously and dealing with it swiftly. As it stands, Bowex may be interested in working alongside your company to establish measures to eliminate this disgraceful trade. You can probably expect to hear back from us in the near future.
