Phew. I believe i could hear them blast the door and burst in, finding nothing but a note proving their outright intellectual disadvantage. Faith in them having an unpleasant rest of their shift and a lot of fun on trying and tracking me is still strong in my heart.
But, putting the lyrics aside - i have made it out. Not without complications and a pulse discharge getting the best out of the shuttle's shields and, i believe - burning bits of it's internal storage.
That civilian shuttle have lasted surprisingly long for a ship with partially fried electronics: enough to ensue a space arcade-like spitfire on a lot of regular locals, do some exploration, gravedigging, gift a shiny trinket to the Rogues of McMurray - they have been so impressed by that shiny trinket that they've even tossed a hefty sum of credits at me for it. Probably carried it over to the local boss, but i didn't take the time to track the fate of that souvenir - as soon as i got what i have counted for we have parted our ways.
These hospitable people have also kindly directed me to the nearby anomaly - well, as much as pointing in the direction of it can be considered a direction - so i have returned to Ontario and moved on to California and Pennsylvania, analyzing the local patrol patterns, have calculated the approximate locations of the anomalies, soon adding their exact coordinates to my star charts. My pre-pre-final step was Bethelem; McMurray was visited by those merry Rogues from all over Liberty, and the one from a place he called Niverton bragged about something and briefly mentioned it as a place where "everyone and their stepmother can go", and i went there, looking to replace my shuttle - it was making spooky sounds and i've been afraid it could fall apart mid-flight. The station itself is dangerously well within the scope of the local authorities, but hopefully news do not spread around that fast - that's what i thought while looking for a local guy with that had just what i needed - an aging Dromedary whose electronics probably were less fried than those of a shuttle. Besides, my tiny workhorse went dead silent shortly after i landed, so i doubted that it could start it's engines ever again, and getting stuck aboard that place did not really correlate with my plan.
But, all in all - i have launched the newly acquired freighter into space and went over to Buffalo - spending a token of credits on McMurray got me some handy charts data, and i managed to salvage it off the dying data cache of the shuttle among other things.
Oh, and the Cardamine crates are stored away at the Montezuma quartermaster - hopefully, safe - Rogues, as hospitable as they get - pretty much lack any restraint. Footage that managed to survive the EMP hit will be attached to the message.
