"Good evening, Doctor Holiday. This is the mercenary Hangman speaking. I try to keep this as short as possible, because I dunno if you're busy.
I'm contacting you, cuz a situation occured inside Baffin a while ago. One of my business partners,
Flynn Campbell, Captain of the Mastodon class transport "Metal.Slug" was attacked by an individual named Anna Prentice.
He decided to flee. Prentice chased him all the way from Baffin to Freeport 6 in Tau 29 with her guns blazing.
Fortunately he managed to dock there. His ship is badly damaged, but at least he's still alive.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but to my current knowledge Baffin is a restricted area and when I asked him why
he flew through there anyway, he typed that he just wanted to take a shortcut. Well, I believe he regrets it now.
Yes, he typed it, cuz that poor soul is mute... and dyslectic. On top of that he's still scared to death.
That's the reason why it's me who speaks in his name. He asked me to hunt her down, but I told him that
I cannot do anything as long as she's using Baffin as hideout. Unlike her, I respect the systemwide Baffin NFZ.
The only thing I can do is providing his sensor logs to you, so you can draw the conclusions on your own.
I reviewed his data myself and I believe, that a zoner IFFed pirate inside your system may cause more
trouble than your fine community deserves. I'll end this here, cuz I took enough of your time Sir... Hangman out..."
The good Doctor is up to his eyeballs at the moment, sir.
I suppose it is no coinkydink that I was forced to ban Anna's "fiance" from Baffin earlier today. Apparently, neither of them have the faculties nor desire to read, understand, and abide by our very simple Laws.
Thank you for the report, sir. I will discuss the matter with John Henry, but it appears Ms. Prentice may also have her day of infamy on our "Enemas" List.
Oh, and believe me, that Zoner IFF has given us quite a chuckle. Hope your friend will visit again soon.

Kallisti!
I have reviewed this report as has one of the Wardens in Baffin, as you see, and this will be dealt with.
This Anna Prentice isn't the first Zoner transpondered pirate that I've seen and yes, it is disturbing.
While I haven't received a report from Captain Campbell or the Administrator of Freeport 6 on damage and injuries, please let him know that I will cover the costs of ship repair. As for medical, I don't charge for that.
If you can, have him give me a message.
I will be sending a message to Miss Prentice demanding explanation although the evidence you sent is pretty conclusive. She will be dealt with.
