Good Evening,

My name's Jeremy Bronn, security executive for Cryer Pharmaceuticals. We've got a situation.

On 17.01 one of our employees, Dr. Eric Moore, was kidnapped travelling from Syracuse to Cambridge Research station. According to the commander aboard the sole surviving vessel of their security wing, Travis Coleman, Dr. Moore's party was intercepted and engaged within the New London system. We have since received a ransom notice from them demanding money and goods in exchange for his life.

Dr. Moore is a critical member of staff. Their safe return is of critical importance. I have little choice but to entreat with these miscreants so that the Doctor may be returned to us. That is, of course, unless an alternative can be found swiftly enough to avoid harm to Eric.

Please advise.

Mr Bronn Given the nature of this issue, and the identity of the kidnappers, I have taken the liberty of copying in my colleagues in the Intelligence Services. To try and secure the best possible outcome for Dr Moore, we are going to need some additional details. - The ransom message implies Dr Moore's kidnapping was opportunistic. Do you have any reason to believe otherwise? - Where did the kidnapping occur? System and specific grid location, if known. - Have any other Cryer personnel been taken - escorts, transport crew? Is Moore the only hostage the Mollys are holding? - Did the Mollys commandeer Dr Moore's ship, or extract him and abandon the ship? If the ship was taken, do Cryer have trackers installed? - Can you share the communications logs on the incident from Mr Coleman's security ship? - Are you intending to pay the demand? Have the Mollys specified where the dead-drop will be located? - What was the nature of Dr Moore's work at the CRI? Are there any national security implications to him falling into Molly hands? Our pilots will be on high alert for relevant leads, but it is likely that the Mollys will have ensconced Dr Moore in one of their hideouts. As a result, it is unlikely that we stand much of a chance of retrieving him unless they have cause to move him. In consultation with colleagues in the Intelligence Services, we will consider all available options.

Good Morning Inspector O'Sullivan,

Thank you for your response and taking the situation seriously. Following are answered to your questions:

• The kidnapping occured between the Manchester Jump Gate in New London and Planet Dover according to Mr Coleman. F3/F4, if you need a pin on a the nav-map.
  
• As far as we are aware, Dr. Moore is the only hostage the Molly's have taken. All others were lost save Mr Coleman and their crew.
  
• I do not yet have a location for the ransom drop off.
  
• Mr Coleman believes otherwise. I've attached access to Mr. Coleman's account of the incident within which they state they believe it was a planned operation.
  
• I am currently prepare the delivery of the ransom demands. I'm loathe to but Dr. Moore is an important individual and a significant asset to our corporation. Dr. Moore is a senior member of our microbiology department and, pertinantly, was a lead on our work on Carlisle. They have indepth knowledge of the clean zone project, the bacteria the terraforming generators protect again, and access to our sample bank.
  

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. Unless advised otherwise I shall proceed with the ransom.

Mr Bronn,

What a pickle we find ourselves in. I'm sure I don't have to explain how bad this situation is, nor why.

We need to know everything about Dr. Moore's work, everything related to Carlisle. This surely is not a coincident that he was the target, given the nature of his work. Where are the rest of the team who worked on this particular project? Officers are being repositioned to your facilities to deter any further security breaches. One lost Doctor is bad enough, we don't need more.

Please provide us with a list of names, post haste as it were. Project details to go along with them.

As for the Doctor himself, proceed with your negotiations, we'll be hijacking the signal, everything will go through the Falkirk, this way we have direct access. Ask for proof of life, that is paramount, especially if we're going to garner a location. Not many places they can be hiding him.

If I were you, I'd be keeping your staff under observation. You may have a mole.

We'll be waiting.

Arkwright out.

Transmission Ends
