Missing Markus - J.Bates - 07-27-2012
LOCATION: BEAUMONT STATION
TIME: 1600 HOURS
DOCKING PORT 2
TIME: 1600 HOURS
DOCKING PORT 2
A lone ship approaches Beaumont. The dock master at Beaumont immediately recognises the ship to be owned by the congressman Markus Rixus. He notices that not one word was made from the ship but he shrugs and allows the ship set in autopilot to dock in port number two.
The ship powers off and a few of the engineers around notice that not one single sign of life could be made out. An emergency assembly, force their way aboard the ship and find the cockpit completely empty. They investigate the ship's logs wondering what may have occurred, but they found them to be devoid of all material except a single message. No details were given. It read:
Quote:The pilot aboard has been kidnapped. The Junker Congress would need make an open transmission Sirius wide. Do so ASAP.
Missing Markus - Junker Congress - 07-27-2012
*Interior of San Juan space station*
James Trenton has just finished a long day of over seeing Junker activities.
He leans back puts his hands behind his head and closes his eyes for a second.
Just as the incoming comms message on his panel lights up.
He opens one eye.. sighs... and sits back up in his chair.
Pushing the comm button he says.
JT here.. Go ahead.
On the screen appears the dockmaster from Beaumont.
Sir.. we uh... We have.... well I'm not sure how to say this but.. uhm....
James interrupts.
Oh for heaven's sake man I am too tired for you to beat around the bush.
Out with it already!
YESSIR! A few mins ago a ship pulled into our bay and its captain is gone.
Theres a note on the vessel says he has been... uhmm kidnapped.
Alright.. send me the captive's name and who left the note.
I'll look into this as soon as I can.. did they demand a ransom and if so how much?
No sir. No ransom and we have no way of knowing who did this.
James pauses for a minute. Puts his head in his hand leaning on his desk and says.
Wonderful.. so what do ya know?
All we know sir is the ship belonged to Congressman Markus Rixus.
James slides his chair back out of view from the camera.
Then silence.
After a couple of minutes the dockmaster speaks.
Sir? Sir are you there??
He comes back into view with his face filling up the screen.
Alright.. Now you listen to me carefully. Lock that ship down immediately!
No one is to board the ship or touch it.. Do you understand?
Aye sir consider it done!
I am on my way.
James closes the comms channel. He then presses a button on his belt and a red light illuminates.
A moment later the door opens with Marcus standing there.
James walks past the large metal robot and says.
Marcus prepare JunkTown for immediate depature we are going to Beaumont.
Marcus follows and says..
Aye aye Arbiter
