To all members of OSC,

It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you of the death of Captain Daniel T. Simpson.

Its indicated from my initial findings that the vessel Ascension suffered a catastrophic reactor failure, forcing Daniel to issue a system wide mayday and proceed with an emergency evacuation. It appears he stayed aboard the Ascension and used the reserve propulsion engines to steer the Ascension into the nearby star rather than allow the reactor to detonate in the systems open space. His actions ensured that the vessels engaged in the recovery of the passenger escape pods were not endangered.

I include in the message my official report:

I was scouting in the Munich system when an automatic distress signal flashed on my HUD, It indicated that the Ascension was experiencing multiple system failures:

---AutoDistressMessage---
Vessel ID: OSC|Ascension
Captain: Daniel T. Simpson
Souls on-board: 144 (134 passengers 10 crew)
Location: Pennsylvania D4
Close proximity vessels: Tyrael (LibertyNavy), Lorleii Darksaint (Unknown)
System Failure: Cruise Engine primary
System Failure: Reactor core containment field
System Failure: Reactor core temperature sensor
System Failure: Weapons management system
System Failure: Shield generator
Syste

The message ended abruptly on my screen so I decided to head for Pennsylvania immediately. As I traveled I contacted the nearby vessels indicated by the automatic message. They reported that they had responded to a mayday call issued by the Ascension and that the passengers and crew had been successfully evacuated to Planet Erie, but the Ascension had been lost.

After arriving in Pennsylvania I confirmed that the passengers were safe and conducted a search of the incident location, all I recovered was a jettisoned data recorder, it was badly damaged but did contain some information 1. 2. 3..

Sadly there was no sign of Daniel.

I personally thanked Tyrael and Lorleii Darksaint for their bravery during this incident, which ensured the safety of 134 passengers and 9 crew members. I have also managed to contact Daniel's family. An investigation will be required to fully inform them of what caused the incident.

Regards

Karen Banks
