Missing Markus

[J.Bates]

LOCATION: BEAUMONT STATION
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:

The pilot aboard has been kidnapped. The Junker Congress would need make an open transmission Sirius wide. Do so ASAP.
