TO: The Search/Destroy Agency

I need your help with the job described in your name. Not... not the destroying part, the searching part. I need someone found, specifically, my sister Carrie. Full name, Carolyn Susan McArthur. My parents have given up, and the LPI and BPA have admitted the case has gone cold. I saw your commercials on the neural-net, and I thought you might be able to help.

She was last seen on planet Denver, in the Colorado system, flying a basic Train, about... five months ago. I've enclosed a picture of her, to help with your search. Please. Find her, and bring her home to Leeds. I'll pay whatever reward I can.

Yours,

Lachlan James McArthur

The photo was of a young man, presumably Lachlan, and a very familiar-looking red-haired woman.

In fact...

If one imagined the girl's wavy red hair pulled back into a short ponytail... a hard, steely look in those eyes, the kind every Bounty Hunter got eventually from one too many battles... if one removed the plumpness from her cheeks, gave her a gaunt look, such as you might find on someone who had recently suffered a severe bout of food poisoning... replaced the casual clothes with a flight suit...

...then one would have a very good likeness of a certain Search/Destroy Agent.

Carolyn Susan McArthur... went missing on Denver...

The puzzle was not hard to put together.

Well, I was sort of... hoping... that you could put some agents on the case, or... let everyone in the Agency know to look out for her, or... something.

Please. We're desperate to have her home.

Agent, you must be mistaken. Or perhaps you are confusing her with someone else. We have never heard of her. Never. Got that?
