Transmission to Atlas

[Garrick]

The view-screen flickers to life, at first nothing comes in to focus, but eventually you can see the image of a man through a field of static that doesn't appear to be clearing up any better. After messing with some more adjustments, you can get the audio to come as well.

"This is Captain Garrick of the LucrativeTransport.Inc. calling my old friend Atlas, do you get this signal Atlas?"

The image in the vid, makes some adjustments off-screen in an attempt to boost the signal.

"Again this is Captain Tomarrian Garrick of the BorderWorlds tradeship LucrativeTransport.Inc. calling Atlas. My ship was struck an asteroid on a cargo run using the back-lanes. The asteroid punched through my engineering sections of my ship. I was knocked off course and brought down in the gravity well of a large moon. Until recently I was stranded for almost a year with no means of calling for help."

There some static and the image fades out, but after a bit the signal comes back.

"My ship was a loss as well as most of my crew. Atlas if you have received this message, please contact me back. I need some help my friend to get back on my feet."

Garrick looks off screen as if talking to someone else and shakes his head in doubt as the image fades.
