Hello? Anybody there?

"This is Vanye Entreri, captain of the OSI-Vingilot speaking."
"Our ship is stranded in Planet Arriendo."
"The cruise engine was blown up during an attack by unknown assailants, which forced us to land on an uninhabited planet nearby."
"To be fair, the landing wasn't exactly pretty."
"Luckily, the sturdiness of "Titanic" Civilian Tanker line helped with the bumps and thumps during the emergency landing."
"For now, we have managed to survive the harsh environment, but our supplies are running low."
"Obviously, any help getting off this frozen hellhole would be appreciated."
-someone muffles the microphone-
-a different person is heard speaking, apparently, towards Vanye-
Nate: "It has been nearly a year since our last contact with OSI. Do you think we still got a job there?
Why would they even care to search so long for some poor zods like us?" Vanye: "Its not like we'll ever know if someone doesn't manage to pick the short range comm signal . . ."

We received your distress call and confirmed your IFF. I am ordering adequate ship with capability to recover you from its regular patrol in Omega 49 to approach Arriendo. Pinpoint your exact location if you can.
Before we loose the signal, send number of crew still alive and who needs immediate medical attention. All critical services will be provided onboard our ship.

Message to:Valkyrie(?)
Finally someone answered!
I'm sorry Miss Valkyrie, but our (former?) OSI employers are on their way. There is no need to deviate your own resources, since no one on our crew need medical attention. Besides, after a year being stranded here, we have learned that patience is indeed a virtue, so we'll wait for OSI.
Message to:Jerard Voncloud
I believe Mr. Vonclaud, that with how much time has passed since we have been lost, those records must have been mixed up.
Still, here are my ship's identification details:
Ship Name: OSI-Vingilot
Captain: Vanye Entreri
OSI ID: oni.link13
We are currently located in 14º 15' north of Planet Arriendo's equator, 67º 30' west of the planet's prime meridian.
Also, we have managed to fix the comm relay, so it should be fine now, at least regarding the communications.
