Ojamashimasu respected elders of The Brotherhood,
Please, forgive me for broadcasting this message on all available channels, but... This is an emergency. 36 hours ago, I have lost contact with one of our vessels, an armored transport of SHI-1800 "Raba" class, registered as "NK|Ugajin", with IFF transponder signature of ,,Farmer's Alliance", manned by 5 members of The Nouka. "Ugajin" was on a scheldued run, exchanging desired good between our homeworlds, as per our earlier agreement.
The vessel has not yet returned. Any attempts to establish contact with her crew have failed. Last message recieved from NK|Ugajin was an automated position report, where pilots have confirmed succesful jump from Omicron Xi, to Omicron Gamma system. After that, just silence, not even a distress message...
As our ship disappeared in your homeworld, it is a natural course of action for me to ask your members, pilots and representatives about any of her whereabouts. We appreceate any given information, any clue, any rumor...
I hope that my message was not recieved in an accusatory manner.

Senor Nouka... *HUGE smile*
I'm mucho sure nothing bad could happen. I think our just had a bit too much celebration for making good Relics business. We've found our miner in Knossos orbit, happily sleeping in his mining vessel. We know he was the last person seeing your crew alive and sober, by checking his logs. Here, you can check details by yourself.

*Sigh* Right... whan an embarrassment.
I went trough your logs, comisario - san. I won't lie to you that I am not somewhat responsible for that situation. A solo flight to the edgeworlds, ending up with an uncontrolled de-orbit into the alien structure within the unsurveyed planet gets on the crew's nerves. I ... I let them treat themselves with our little medicine. I did not however expect them to bring themselves about to this state.
Good thing they shared the stuff, though.
Still, whatever happened, I need to find these fools, and their ship, ... and most importantly, their cargo. I'm afraid I will have to ask you for yet another favor. We have no charts, no operatives and no outposts for safe operations in that that region. To be honest, I'm afriaid we will never be able to find this vessel without your assistance.

But of course, senor Nouka... *nods*
Our patrols are searching for NK|Ugajin as we speak. It might take a while, as there are some areas in Gamma where our sensors are working like we made them of crap too. I hope your ships are well supplied with air, including this one.
We will stay in el touch and we will have good news for you soon. I just hope they didn't try to activate Xeno Relics from their cargo... in that case we might never find them. They could be in some strange dimension, turned into a whale and the accompanying bowl of petunias, as far as I know about Relics business.

Search
Sorry, Nouka-San. We have no good news after all. *sadly*
Just one blackbox is all what's left of NK|Ugajin and her brave crew. We searched Gamma and that's all we were able to find. Small electronic device hammered in on the asteroid that we managed to release and download it's data via standard cable. We tried to find out Ugajin's fate, but all we could read was this:
*uploading*
*more uploading*
*nothing's better than uploading at Monday's evening*
*makes a sad face while pressing a button with his hairy macho hand to end comm. Button could remain in one part, but decided to crack with a grieving sound*

Good day to you, Nakama!
News about Ugajin reached Soshi-Sha, and man.... *The person starts laughing* he was pissed!
One and only demands to know who blew up his load of credits, which means he is sending my ass to Gamma to figure what is going on. I do hope that you have free rooms available. I put the coordinates on the Nav-Map, it's a butt of a journey.
That little transcription you just sent, it was a menu. Third line from the top is language settings... *sigh*... and you don't want to hit enter on the last two options, believe me. Anyway, I'll help you with that once I'm there, sit tight.

Comisario - san!
First, I think I forgot to thank you for your invaluable assistance in our search, so ... thank you.
I was tinkering with our black box thing. Bad news. Our guys did not crash the Ugajin on an asteroid or something. It was ... well, shot down.
Nav data confirms that pilots were performing erratic manoevers in the final stage of the flight. Probably dodging bullets. Also, shield fluctuations and ... the comm logs. Listen for yourself:
[31.08.2019 17:53:38] A/)-LV-Lamia: Hold it.
[31.08.2019 17:53:52] A/)-LV-Lamia: Consider dropping those relics and giving me them, hm?
[31.08.2019 17:54:01] A/)-LV-Lamia: A better purpose for them in in science, not for profit.
[31.08.2019 17:54:15] A/)-LV-Lamia: Silent? Calling for friends?
[31.08.2019 17:54:22] A/)-LV-Lamia: I wouldn't really advise that.
[31.08.2019 17:54:45] A/)-LV-Lamia: I'm giving you five seconds to give them up.
[31.08.2019 17:54:47] A/)-LV-Lamia: Four.
[31.08.2019 17:54:50] A/)-LV-Lamia: Three.
[31.08.2019 17:54:52] NK|Ugajin: ?: *The man appears on the screen, but it's hard to recognise him because of all the smoke*
[31.08.2019 17:54:57] NK|Ugajin: ?: W ... what?
[31.08.2019 17:55:07] A/)-LV-Lamia: You have something I desire, Raba-captain.
[31.08.2019 17:55:13] A/)-LV-Lamia: A certain set of crystals.
[31.08.2019 17:55:35] NK|Ugajin: ?: You mean like...
[31.08.2019 17:55:37] A/)-LV-Lamia: It's my job to secure them, so, please, it'd be easy on both of us if you'd complied. I'd hate to get dirty so soon in my shift
[31.08.2019 17:55:48] A/)-LV-Lamia: Scanning...
[31.08.2019 17:55:57] A/)-LV-Lamia: No, that's absolutely no a composition of alien crystals.
[31.08.2019 17:56:00] NK|Ugajin: ??: The crystal, man...
[31.08.2019 17:56:02] A/)-LV-Lamia: How do you even mistake that for crystals?
[31.08.2019 17:56:07] A/)-LV-Lamia: Those 'Xeno Relics'
[31.08.2019 17:56:08] NK|Ugajin: ?: No alien ... yea
[31.08.2019 17:56:36] A/)-LV-Lamia: Surrender them.
[31.08.2019 17:56:39] NK|Ugajin: ??: No... not them.. they are like... mine.
[31.08.2019 17:56:42] A/)-LV-Lamia: I don't like this mirade of delays.
[31.08.2019 17:56:49] A/)-LV-Lamia: No... they belong to science.
[31.08.2019 17:56:51] A/)-LV-Lamia: Not the Corsair market.
[31.08.2019 17:56:54] A/)-LV-Lamia: Here we go then.
[31.08.2019 17:56:57] A/)-LV-Lamia: Weapons up.
[31.08.2019 18:00:06] Death: NK|Ugajin was put out of action by A/)-LV-Lamia (Gun).
I don't think recon that transponder code. Who are those guys? Any buddies of yours? Rebels? Separatists? What were they doing in your homeworld? Is it... you know... safe anymore?
Ugajin's fate
Si. I can understand how you feel. *sadly*
Your ship was devastated by Auxesia intercepting unit and your cargo was stolen, or destroyed. No matter how many patrols we deploy, they find a way to penetrate into our systems just to ambush fair traders supporting our business. I personally organised several hunts on them, but they simply cloak on time and walk away.
What Ugajin did wrong was staying at one place for too long and had a good time with our miner on duty. Common uneducated people at Crete believe that some of our enemies actually use voodoo to scan systems of interest. We never were able to prove that, so I believe they are just lucky most of the time.
