Dear Mr.Stephen Drake,

I was hoping for some more visual evidence of the incident. It tells the event better.
You say your staff are, and I quote, "well trained in escaping piracy situations." I don't think using the words 'Bite me, Hacker.' was sensible, what-so-ever. Ageira started the hostilities, not us.

Also, your vessel didn't ask Stewart Taylor to stand-down, from what we see, just merely requested him to not do anything silly, like fight just to save the Columbia. "Interspace, don't get yourself killed on our behalf." You can not expect someone to follow a order, if you do not actually order it.

Then, even before Mr.Taylor engaged, the pirate repeated his demands again, and obviously the captain of the Columbia was too arrogant to comply with. "drop the cargo, now"

On this note, we conclude. We will not be repaying for your vessels loss. We will not take blame for the incident & I will not allow you disrespect the good intentions of my company's employees.

This matter is closed, we will not take this any further.

Respectfully yours,
Thomas Mahone
Interspace Commerce
