Greetings my friends at OSI headquarters,
A few days ago I had my Wasupu fighter damaged when I came out too hot off the tradeline just as a Liberty Navy fleet was blowing up some base right at the side of Freeport 2. There I found out that it was dificult to find replacement parts for the Kusari made fighter, so the mechanic at FP2 convinced me too buy a used Cutlass bomber that was at sale there, a more expensive ship but with a far more easy and cheap maintenance - and much more powerfull. As I was due to a meeting with Mr. Kelly for a final job interview at OSI, i decided to head directly to Gran Canaria, even with the ship needing some updating in its avionics systems, and leave the ship for upgrading while I waited for the meeting.
As Mr. Kelly was quite busy this week our talk was postponed, so I took the Cutlass for a ride around Omega-49 as I needed to rebuild my nav data base. When I came back from my 'walk around the block' I encountered a Bretonian battlecruiser, identified as BIC2', in orbit around Gran Canaria just at the side of Nichols station. He did not responded to hails, it just sat there, probably scanning the planet from orbit and the station. When I scanned the contents of its cargo bay (it was empty), it turned about and headed away, perhaps in the direction of the Dublin jumphole.
Thats when the 'little' incident happened. The brits cap ship was intercepted by a Corsair squadron, and they managed to blow that thing up in flames. The battleship received heavy damage and was still adrift when I landed back in Grand Canaria.
All this happened yesterday. Today I went out just to look for it but the brits already have rescued the ship. Man they are fast!
Well, I'm just sending you all this 'cause an incident like this in your front door can result in trouble for OSI and other Zoners. I don't know if it was in a official mission, nor even if it was a renegade ship acting without orders. I just thought you guys should know...
Best regards to y'all,
David Starr
Commander of the Zoner freighter Shooting Starr
