****INCOMING TRANSMISSION****

COMM ID: LIEUTENANT COMMANDER Richardson, Alice
TARGET ID: Liberty Navy High Command
SUBJECT: Officer MIA
ENCRYPTION: High
PRIORITY: High

Greetings, Admirals.

I am Lt. Commander Alice Richardson, Flight Deck Supervisor on the Battleship Missouri. I wish I were contacting you today with better news.

One of your pilots, a [color=#33FF33]Lieutenant (JG) James Lambert, left the Missouri earlier today on a routine patrol in his "Guardian" class Very Heavy Fighter. He was picked up near West Point on scanners but was then lost after pursuing an unknown craft into the Badlands. A short time later, our listening post picked up the following message on an open comm channel:



It has currently been over five hours since that last transmission from Mr. Lambert was picked up, with no further transmissions received from him. However, we did also pick up an increased level of chatter from Rogue elements in the Badlands around the same time as the distress signal.

Considering it is now well beyond the late arrival period for Mr. Lambert's patrol, we are officially declaring him to be MISSING IN ACTION and presumed to be dead or captured by the enemy.

If any more information about this incident comes to our attention, we will be sure to send it your way. We share your sorrow at the loss of another fine Primary Fleet officer to the enemy.

Richardson out.
