Again, my name is Gottfried Simpson. I am Ex-Captain of the CR Ship Richards. We were three men crew in total.
I shall repeat what I've told you before to clarify misunderstandings.
At 0900 Station time, the CR-Richards departed from Duluth Shipyards with a Cargo loaded fully and entirely with Toxical wastes we were supposed to deliver Vierlande Prison in Rheinland. Whyever a Prison requires such commodities.
Instead of taking the regular route We decided to take a shortcut through Minnesota and then new Hampshire. From there we planned on taking the Jumphole to Bremen. Instead, our long range scanners showed atleast three contacts. One being a Heavy bomber. The designation was hessian and they came from the Bremen Jumphole.
We've had to decide quickly what to do next, so we set course for the nearby Astroid Field. We saw our best survival chances in going for it.
Since the Hessians already had our Cruise engines disabled we were pumping the engines to the max.
Now, afterwards, thinking about how the hessians stopped their Assault when we aproached this dammn Jumphole it all makes sense.
When we were through, I broadcasted an Emergency message to all nearby vessels. Only one replied though, LSF Agent Claire Farron. I had informed her of our "almost" demise and asked her for an escort out of wherever we had landed.
Whilst my men and me tried our best to get the Cruise engines up again, Battleship Harmony approached us, informing us about the miserable fate we'd face. I assume you know the rest.
Now, having my ship blown to pieces, including my cargo, making huge losses will you atleast have the decency to tell a soon-to-be jobless man and his crewmates when we'll be released?
