Greetings... We can arrange a meeting soon, over a more secure comm channel, but first We regret to report some news... It seems both the Corsairs and Bounty Hunters have decided to wage 'war' upon Us, and AI's in general... When we launched our transport an ECG| and independent Corsair fleet were attacking Zero One, once again, accusing it and Us of being Bounty Hunters... We then delivered 3,420 Tons of Food to Crete, once more, to try and prove We are friendly to Corsairs and hopefully stop the attack, again, and to get supplies to make repairs...

When We returned, Bounty Hunters had entered the system and a large battle erupted, Corsairs had stopped attacking Zero One momentarily... Our transport was waiting for the base shield to go down so We could dock with supplies, when a [77th] Bounty Hunter attacked and destroyed Our ship...

We had brought the Corsairs food and fuel, assisted them in missions, and gave them docking rights to our base... In return, Us and Our base are accused of being Bounty Hunters, even after they witness Our ship being destroyed by a Bounty Hunter.... Zero One was destroyed by Corsairs, and probably the Bounty Hunters as well, shortly afterwards...

At last inventory we had 81 Tons of unprocessed Grade F and 7 Tons of Grade G bio-material in storage, as well as many other resources... We are unsure what happened to the bio-material after the destruction of Our facility... We can only assume that either the Corsairs and or the Bounty Hunters now have it...

This blatant and unprovoked attack also endangered the lives of the 250 Zoner crew members We had employed to maintain life support for visitors to the station... Even when We informed the Corsairs of this they continued their attack claiming that the males would be killed, the females would become slaves, and any children would be eaten... We managed to save the crew though, aboard the only ship we had docked on the station prior to it's destruction... They have since been safely delivered to Freeport 11...
