Subject:Request for aid
Good day Dr Holliday,
I do not think we have met, my name is David Crooke, director at Orbital Spa & Cruise. Currently Mr Seabourne should be returning shortly from his business trip to the Confederacy of Gallia, but until then I will be handling important communications. I understand a while back you contacted us to order specially equipped Medical Rescue Vessels. This time however, it is Orbital Spa & Cruise's turn to request for aid.
If you have been following the Colony News Service, you would know that a certain Luxury Liner Martinique has gone missing in Omega-55.The board is highly concerned about the well-being of the 1894 passengers and 300 Orbital Spa & Cruise employees on board. Luxury Liners are equipped with advanced communications systems to relay requests for help even in remote space. The fact that we have heard absolutely nothing is worrying. Even more concerning is the fact that no unlawful group has not contacted us about any ransom as of this message. At this moment, we can only assume the worst.
We hope that Med Force Enterprises are capable of lending some humanitarian aid in searching for the lost liner in Omega-55 and remaining on standby in case medical aid is required.
To continued cooperation between Orbital Spa & Cruise and Med Force Enterprises.
Regards,
David Crooke

Greetings, Director,
I do not want to have a bad end come to your people. I will dispatch a scout to search for them and have a Med Force cruiser on standby once they are found. We will assist however we can and I will personally keep you posted.

Good day Dr Holliday,
You have our deepest gratitude. We have other groups out there searching for the missing vessel. If any information of note turns up on my desk, I will pass it on to you.

Greetings, Director,
I am Captain Pickett, one of the escort pilots for Med Force Enterprises. Myself and Doctor Xi commenced a full scan of the Omega 55 system using this formula:
We stopped at any and every station that we could to inquire of the ship's whereabouts and received no positive responses. The three ships we encountered in system hadn't seen them either so for now, our search has come up empty.
Considering the Wilde activity that we encountered, I am fearing the worst. My own fighter came under attack from numerous Wilde fighters and a couple of Wilde gunships. Considering the damage I took and the intensity of the attack, I want to be wrong when I say that I fear the Nomads got everyone and those few that may have survived are probably infested. As I said, I want to be wrong about that.
I have let Doctor Holliday know should anyone be found. If Wilde are indeed involved, that adds a whole new level on treatment but....I personally am not a doctor. That would be between you and Dr. Holliday.

Good day Captain Pickett,
We thank you for risking your crew in such a dangerous part of space. The board is discussing if we should abort rescue attempts upon positive confirmation on Wilde infestation. For now, there is no confirmation that a Wilde infestation has occured, we like to believe that there is still hope.
In fact, there have been uncofirmed reports by various denizens of Sirius that the Luxury Liner Martinique was spotted in a location outside Omega-55. There have been a sighting of the liner at Omicron Gamma and another claiming to have picked up its identification in New Berlin. In light of this, we might have to extend the search area.
For now Orbital Spa & Cruise is attempting to contact relevant people that may be able to confirm any sightings of the ship.
Regards,
David Crooke

Good day Dr Holliday,
I think you've read the broadcast by now. Good news, bad news and worse news. Good news is that the Wilde are not responsible for the disappearance of the liner. Bad news is that the Unioners have claimed responsibility and are holding it ransom. Worse news is that they have already killed 47 of the passengers or crew on board before even deciding to contact Orbital Spa & Cruise for ransom and they plan on killing one more passenger for every hour that passes.
At the moment Mr Seabourne is negotiating with them. Orbital Spa & Cruise fully intends on paying the $1 billion SC ransom, we do not want to risk the lives of the passengers and employees on board. All we can ask of Med Force Enterprises right now is to have medical aid on standby to attend to the people on board after we get the ship back.
Regards,
David Crooke

He frowns, having had respectable relations with Unioners in the past
Director Crooke,
This sickens me that the Unioners are doing this but you are right, this is a better situation than the Wilde even if it is bad itself. This whole mess in Rheinland is going to get worse before it gets better unfortunately.
I have a ship and personnel standing by. IF you can get them to us it is preferable with the situation in Rheinland so sticky but we will either come to you or meet you if you prefer so you do have options. We will provide both medical and psychological services to those who need it.

Good day Dr Holliday,
At the moment, exact details about the exchange process have yet to be decided. I cannot with good faith promise either arrangement.
My own personal opinion that I have shared with the board is the necessity of a security sweep on the liner before transporting it back to house space. I may try to organize an evacuation of the liner using our available resources immediately after the handover. This may slow down the process of getting the passengers to safety, but I feel it is necessary sacrifice for security issues. In all honesty, I do not trust an organization that kills before sending ransoms.
The board is currently deliberating over the necessity of my proposal. I will get back to you regarding our course of action.
Regards,
David Crooke

Good day Dr Holliday,
If you have been keeping up with the news services, the negotiations have concluded. The Martinique and the remaining 1,834 passengers are being returned tomorrow at 20:00 Sirius Universal time. Based on current estimates, 60 of the passengers are presumed dead. The fate of 300 Orbital Spa & Cruise employees are currently undetermined. The drop of point is New Berlin.
For now I think New Berlin's medical infrastructure can handle the passengers. If there are extreme cases that may need the expertise of Med Force Enterprises, I will relay them over to your organization.
Thank you for staying with us through this ordeal as well as your earlier efforts in helping search for the liner. Orbital Spa & Cruise appreciates what you have done to help us.
Regards,
David Crooke

Director Crooke,
I guess it is a good thing that the hostage ordeal has ended although the tragic loss of life is most regretful. Med Force Enterprises will stand by for any and all who need help. Just ask and we will send help.
