COMM ID: Commander Helen Den [secondary fleet]
TARGET ID: Navy Command
SUBJECT: Possible distress signal
ENCRYPTION: Normal
PRIORITY: High

Commander Helen Den reporting to Navy Command. The Miami finished a patrol in the Colorado system. The only notable fact is the destruction of a suspect transport ship that refused to offer any explanations and decided that running away was the better way. He was wrong. The ship in question was: Ricco and the targeting system tagged it as Military vessel. It docked with Pueblo somehow... strange but nothing to worry about we dealt with him.

During this encounter I received the following message that I'm passing to you.

A bad quality audio message is broadcasted every hour. It has no security encryption so it can be received by any ship or base that is in Kepler and has a strong enough comm receiver.

This is Bounty Hunter Calintia to Zoner Control, Kusari Naval Command & Libery Navy Command. I am forwarding the following message that my ship received during a routine sweep of the Kepler system. I attempted to conduct a sensor sweep of all known radiation clouds within the system to locate the exact position of the ship in distress but with no success. At this time of 10:56 Sirius Time, I am requesting more support to conduct a more thorough sweep of the system if the resources can be allocated.

Very Respectfully,

Bounty Hunter Roena Calintia
"Death before Dishonor"

It appears there's some ship in distress in the Kepler system. A zoner capital ship if I got it right. If allowed, LNS-Miami could go to investigate this. We're just one jump away. This concludes my report.

Helen Den, signing off.
