A video clip begins, its very fuzzy and is suddenly shaken. The image clears and Grayson in a doctors scrubs is seen. He looks tired and shocked and is sitting on a old wooden chair in what looks like a medical office.
"I have bad news people. Jason Jackson is MIA, or dead for all we know. I'll start from the beginning.
I was called from an unknown person while I was in low orbit around Leeds. This person told me he had a person in a bounty hunters jumpsuit and he was missing an arm. I called in Jason Jackson in for an escort and flew to the location he said he was at. I was told it was at the station near the jumpgate to New London, and was surprised when we were stopped about half way. The person who called me was attacking a transport and Jackson attacked. I sat by and did quick repairs once-in-a-while, and found a Order was watching also. Suddenly the fight got bad and Jason ejected his Co-pilot Sarah Eliza Winter. Jackson yelled over the comms for me to save her, then his ship exploded. I was able to tractor in Winter, but I couldn't find Jackson..."
He stops and looks down. He takes a sip of water from a cup sitting on a nearby desk. He looks back at the camera with a hardened face.
"The person ended up being a phantom. Jackson might of been captured or killed, which I do not know. I fled to Leeds and began treatment on Miss Winter, who is shock and had minor injures from the sudden ejection. She is still in shock and may not come out of it for a while. I just got her stable and I am making this report quickly so someone knows about this. Something must be done about this mess. Jackson was a good man. If hes still alive I want him back."
Grayson gets up and sighs, picks up a clipboard and walks over to the camera.
Eric appears on the com, his face is distorted with anger and sadness.
What about The Armed Forces? Did no one assist?
What about civilian casualties? Did the transport get away or was Jackson the only casualty?!
I want to know these things doctor!
This won't be forgotten..
Alright, im putting up additional warnings around Leeds about Phantom activity, everyone is to be on patrol tomorrow to make sure that if one is around we get him, at all costs!!
The loss of Jackson.. Is a tragedy, he was a good friend a great person, he did his best for Bretonia, more then many others..
But if theres a chance he's alive, we should do all we can to save him..
Im opening this channel to the Armed Forces as well.

Grayson is seen in a light jacket in a office. He is sitting behind a desk with a grim face.
"New problem Gentlemen. The phantom that was at Jackson's disappearance has communicated with me while re-supplying the St. Mary's. He has Jackson somewhere and might be harming him. He now wants Winters for some reason and I'm not allowing here anywhere without and escort. Also, no one is to tell her anything about her brother. Her mental stability is falling apart and this would break her.
"On a different note, the St. Mary's has preformed a rescue operation. A slaver was shot down by the BAF and it was called if for medical help and transportation. All persons were saved and are currently under medical care.
