“Well it would seem that your search is over. The vessel was observed docking on Trenton, outside Manhattan. It picked up Industrial Hardware. Either way, the SID of the ship had caught my attention. Less so the callsign - running the numbers I came to find that the ship was the one labeled as missing here, alerted the local navy crafts that were about at the time. The Communication logs are listed below - but after view. I do believe that the ship is part of the Xeno’s now. Namely the part about being ‘played’ and that brains won over brawns. Suggesting that deception was implemented. Either way. I believe your ‘missing’ ship is now a redundant status.”

Code:

Freelancer.O-17: "Hold it.'

The.Red.Serpent: Uh.... Hi there!

Freelancer.O-17: "Gonna have to ask you to wait here."

The.Red.Serpent: Why's that?

The.Red.Serpent: Fine.... Have it your way....

Freelancer.O-17: "Well.. that took you a while."

[LN]-Lily.Hale: What is this about, Freelancer?
[LN]-Lily.Hale: Why are you disrupting a commercial vessel?

[LN]-Tyrone:Carter: Indeed, it did. I was a little busy. (Private communication between FL.O-17 & [LN]-Tyrone:Carter)

The.Red.Serpent: Uh, yeah!

Freelancer.O-17: "Ships been flagged on a bulletin.... people been out looking for it."

The.Red.Serpent: This is balls, man!

5th|Daniel.Carter: He claims its a missing ship ma'am

Freelancer.O-17: "And yet.... here it is."

[LN]-Tyrone:Carter: May I ask who you are, and how I may help you? (Private communication between FL.O-17 & [LN]-Tyrone:Carter)

The.Red.Serpent: Just missinformation.....

[LN]-Lily.Hale: Cut your engines.

Freelancer.O-17: "I doubt that."
Freelancer.O-17: "LPI put he report out I believe - want me to find it and link it over ma'am?"

[LN]-Lily.Hale: I'm checking this out with the LPI.

Freelancer.O-17: "He also said something about the Codes still being good."
Freelancer.O-17: "One of them is called Harold."

The.Red.Serpent:  Another voice, heavily altered "Back those snubs up or the Captain here is going to have a nasty accident!
The.Red.Serpent: Back away now, or the Captain here is going to be rather.... Headless

5th|Daniel.Carter: Cut your engines!

[LN]-Lily.Hale: We will open fire if you don't stay put.

The.Red.Serpent: So.... Well you see the escape pods that aren't there?  That's right, you'll kill countless civilians firing on this thing
The.Red.Serpent: So unless you are really murderers....
The.Red.Serpent: Back up I say!  Or I'll start with this one here!

Freelancer.O-17: "I am sure your more interested with self-preservation."
Freelancer.O-17: "This seems to be a bad anvenu to go down to secure that."

The.Red.Serpent: *sound of sidearm clicking*

[LN]-Lily.Hale: Found it.

The.Red.Serpent: So you will be responsible will you?  For the death of this crew?

Freelancer.O-17: "SID's the same?"

5th|Daniel.Carter: Awaiting orders*

The.Red.Serpent: The whole back section is depressurised, so you'd better cut us loose I think!

Freelancer.O-17: "Gonna do a scan - see if its true about what he said about the escape pods."

The.Red.Serpent: Oh its true, we lost those back in Nering when another smart one sniffed around!

Freelancer.O-17: [Scanning: Incited]

The.Red.Serpent: Hmmm my stutter is playing up, better hope it doesn't transfer to my trigger finger ay?
The.Red.Serpent: Well, I guess i'll just start on this one....
The.Red.Serpent: *click click*
The.Red.Serpent: I'm getting impatient now!

Freelancer.O-17: "So... Orders?"

The.Red.Serpent: Back off!
The.Red.Serpent: I ain't playin'!

Freelancer.O-17: "Go to the next lane." (Private communication between FL.O-17 & [LN]-Tyrone:Carter)
Freelancer.O-17: "Make sure if he gets through here, he doesn't get through there." (Private communication between FL.O-17 & [LN]-Tyrone:Carter)

[LN]-Lily.Hale: Let it leave.

The.Red.Serpent: Well lets look at your options shall we?

[LN]-Tyrone:Carter: May I ask why? (Private communication between FL.O-17 & [LN]-Tyrone:Carter)

Freelancer.O-17: sighs.
Freelancer.O-17: "Was to help prevent escape, I was meaning the other lane ring."(Private communication between FL.O-17 & [LN]-Tyrone:Carter)

The.Red.Serpent: You can blow up a Universal transport in Manhatten orbit and kill manmy civilians....

Freelancer.O-17: "Not the other one."

The.Red.Serpent: Or...
The.Red.Serpent: You can save them....
The.Red.Serpent: By cutting this nut job loose

Freelancer.O-17: "Well... I guess that would be called a development."

The.Red.Serpent: Well, Seems brains do beat brawn....
The.Red.Serpent: Let it be known, you just got played by Jimmy of the Xeno Alliance!
