I am Eichy, Eichy Bumm and I am engineer for ALG Waste Disposal. Ja, I know... it sounds like itchy bum... but is said Ikee Boom, nein?
I need help to find my man.
He was entführt... kidnapped in the New Berlin system about 6 weeks ago. He was piloting his barge between Lagerhaus and his schrottplatz - how you say... recycle yard? His name is Festus, Festus McBoyle. Such a lovely man... so ruggedly handsome.
Then katastrophe! The Barge, the Festus McBoyle, was attacked by Corsairs. It was boarded by Corsair Marines, the co-pilot says... and they took him! The co-pilot heard the Kapitän of the räuber was called Tavros.
Bitte! Does anyone know who took him? Where is he? Is he well?
My Festus was taken, according to the logs, by the DTR. There was fighting with Rheinland forces that chased them away, but they took my precious, my beloved.

Missing Person
Guten Tag Frau Bumm,
I have good news for you.
I was able to get in touch with the kidnappers.
Unfortunately, I was not able to speak directly with your husband, but I was assured that he is fine.
And I have no reason not to believe that statement.
I have arranged another meeting within the next few days.
In this meeting we will discuss the situation in more detail.
At this time I can not tell you anything more, I hope you understand that.
We will continue to do everything possible to bring your husband back to you safe and sound.
respectfully,
Signed,
F/Mü
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Agent Franz Müller BDM Kommissariat
I have spoken to the corsair on whose ship your husband is.
In exchange for the 10,000,000 credits, you can have your husband back.
There is just one small problem.
We can only make the exchange today, as he is otherwise very busy.
Since the corsairs insist that the money come from you, your presence would be necessary.
Therefore, if you have time today, I would suggest that you and I meet in New Berlin and then go to the meeting point together.
Since all meetings so far have been without complications and very peaceful, I do not foresee any major problems coming our way.
