Subject: POB Reconnaissance

Message:

Greetings Mr. Emmerich, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jack Burton and I was just recently accepted into your organization. I received your transmission regarding the recon of POB's earlier today, and as chance would have it, I have no escort contracts pending for the next 2 days. It just so happens that I was on planet Houston visiting my parents when the message arrived, so after saying my goodbyes and restocking my Spatial, I set out for the Bering system to gather information on New Hope Freeport.

Upon arriving at sector C7, I found no trace of the station.





After performing a grid search of the surrounding sectors, I picked up a lone satellite among some debris near the entrance of the trade lane.





After a little more searching, I found even more debris, which I'm afraid is all that is left of New Hope.

Summary:
It seems clear that something tragic happened to New Hope. Was it an attack? A reactor core explosion? Hard to say from what little of it remains. Needless to say, further investigation is needed.
I've just arrived here at Barrier Gate, and after taking care of some personal matters, I'm going to head for the Baffin system. Hopefully I'll have better news to report about Brumswick Shrine.

Burton out.
