Captain,

I've been informed about an incident involving your ship, your crew, some cardamine addict and Benitez Family.
The Board of Directors would love to hear what the hell happened there.

Mr Santacana,

I regret to inform you that my ship, the OSI Thetis. was involved in an incident on the route between Malta and freeport 9 on Tuesday, 2000hr.

It appears an escapee Corsair prisoner stowed away on my ship, and then took control 50k out from Planet Malta. I was below decks at the time, and the prisoner managed to dead-seal my cabin door. Having overwhelmed my suprised crew, he secured them below.

On entering Sigma 17, I'm informed that he passed out from Cardamine withdrawal. All we know is that we felt the ship go through a jumphole, and the next thing is the ship's drifting. A few minutes later, the ship was hit by a cruise disrupter and the engines reset. A group of corsairs hailed the ship, we were unable to reply.

The ship was then boarded by a Familia Benitez Commando Unit who found us, then promptly locked us back up again. They attempted to fly the ship back to Corsair space. The most godawful bit of piloting I've ever seen. He must have sat there for 15 minutes trying to work out where the engine start was!

Shortly after the ship started moving again, we came under attack from what I believe was an Outcast assault group intent on retreiving the escapee.
Whilst the battle between the Corsairs and Outcasts raged outside, we were aware that we were passing through another jumphole. A few minutes later we docked on Cryer base Atka.

Cryer retrieved the Corsair escapee and offered treatment to my crew and I.

When the Outcast threat had disappeared, the crew was re-embarked and my ship was flown to Freeport 9 by the Commando unit under Benitez escort. Once aboard FP9, control of my ship was returned to me and the commando unit disembarked.

We then continued to Gran Canaria. My ship suffered some damage and will require some significant refitting. Internal door locks not least.


I'm grateful for the hospitality shown by Familia Benitez and Cryer Pharmaceuticals. This situation could have ended very poorly for myself and my crew in other circumstances.

Frost out.

Captain Frost,

I'm glad the situation is clear. Even more glad that you and your crew are all in one piece.
Regarding repairs on your ship - move it to Livadia and the repairs will be funded from the company insurance.
I also hope you use any and all possibilities to aquire contracts from companies like Cryer and... organisations like the Benitez Family.
