Good day sir,

As the ruffian indicated, he is not of the caring kind, so I reckon he won't mind the Freeport's defense grid recognizing him as a target in the near future. I'll also inform the Perihelion to keep a lookout for this particular vessel. But on a sidenote, has Interspace Commerce fallen on such harsh times that it is unable to cover even their largest transports with a minimal escort?

The IMG is not a private security firm. Our interest in the No Fire Zone is the safety and security of the station and it's inhabitants. Even a lone supertrain should be able to keep a mercenary or two on the payroll. Had you done so, your transport could have moored and be covered by the station shielding, while your escort could have driven the ruffian off.


Regards,
- Johnathan Sanders, on behalf of the Independent Miners Guild.
