To Mr. Faulkner,

I’m Michael Cost, member of the Presidium, the ruling body of the Union.

I firstly do apologize that one of our ship didn’t answered your hails. If the ship you encountered was the Zebrina then we have an explanation:
The ship suffered from a desynchronization of a jump hole while he was finishing his jump, leading to a failure of all electronic systems. Hence, he couldn't received your communication. All systems were shut down, even the life support and the crew had to repair everything with personal oxygen equipment... A total blackout. The captain James Woods sends his apologies and would personally like to take over this transmission line for business negotiations. You will receive his communication soon.

Sincerely,
- The Slaver’s Union Presidium.
