*As the video starts, all you can see on your screen is a metal deck and a pair of legs. The camera is seems to be pointed down. Judging by the shakyness of the image you conclude that this is most likely a hand-held device. A commotion can be heard in the background, with a few men arguing in Kusarian language. After a few moments, and a loud "shush", the commotion quiets down. Camera gets pointed in front, revealing profile of a masked man bearing a knife in his right hand. A thick scarf covers his face, barely revealing his eyes.
- Gaijin!
*Masked man started to speak in a broken english, with an overdramatic tone of voice. As you get a closer look, you can see that the speaker wears an armband with a symbol: two Kanji characters in a blue circle. Probably the same one you can see on your screen, in the bottom - right corner.*
- You have broken our rule!
*Speaker points his finger at a camera in an accusatory matter*
- Your ship tresspassed our homeland! You pollute our skies with your stink! You feed our people poison! You steal planet wildlife! You serve the rich and corrupt! You will be punished!
*Visibly excited speaker ended his tyrade screaming and excessively gesticulating with his knife. At this point the camera pans right, revealing the rest of the room. Video seems to have been taken inside a hangar area. You recognise yellow lighting of a place and stylised dragon heads present in it as a design pattern commonly used on Kusari-made space stations. What else comes to your view is purely disturbing. You see a group of 5 people, wearing used Orbital Spa and Cruise uniforms, visibly shaken, with their heads pointing down. The group seems to be guarded by another two members of the militia, both masked and armed to the teeth. There can be only one conclusion. This must be the kidnapped crew of OSC-Breezewood...*
- We don't need your kind here!
*The speaker came back into view*
-You will stop operations in Kusari, and you will pay fifty milion sirian credits to The Nouka! Or else...
*Masked man paused for a brief moment, before uttering a threat.*

Honorable Sirs:
Other branches of Orbital Spa and Cruise may write off their crew members, but the Breezewood takes care of her own. Specify how you wish for the exchange of 50 million credits for our crewmembers to occur, and we will comply.
Sincerely,

Subject: RE: Release of Prisoners
I'm glad to see some of you fools actually care for human life,
The exchange will occur in Tau-29 system. Where? Somewhere close to the Zoner installation. When? I'll leave that for you to decide. We get our credits, and you get your men back. There's no catch, just a few simple rules to follow:
- Whatever unit you're going to send to the system, make sure it's unarmed. Same applies to it's crew.
- We don't want to see any other parties involved in it, especially so called ,,law enforcement forces" of our, and your, house.
- Prepare the ... agreed sum of money in Sirius Credit Cards. The least thing we would want is to have our transaction registered by the NeuralNet.
Means of direct communication with my operatives in that system will be given in approporiate time. For now. I eagerly await your response.

Honorable Sirs:
Your terms are acceptable. Expect the OSC shuttle PuddleJumper to make the pickup. She's lightly armed to deal with less reasonable demands made upon OSC ships by less reasonable people. I doubt her civilian guns will be much of a threat to you. We can arrange specific time and date for the drop off to occur.
Sincerely,
