Hello all,

You might have not heard from me in quite a while. Archos is probably worried sick, even though he wouldn't show it.

For the past several months I've been trapped on a small station in Omega-55. I was on patrol and spied a suspicious looking outpost emitting a pulse wave of some kind. Curious, I went to investigate. Upon getting too close, my ship started to get torn to shreds by the installation's defences.

I had no choice other than to make a crash landing and pray to god I'd emerge from the wreckage. The good news is I got out of my smouldering wreck of a ship relatively unscathed aside from a few bumps, scratches, minor concussion and a broken arm. The bad news is my ship is a smouldering wreck. I can't get out of here. Sure, I've got supplies, and they've managed to last, but I've gotten bored of being on my lonesome with no skulls to crack. Also, quite obviously, I don't know how to repair a freakin' ship.

I did relay a message to the High Command, but I didn't get a response. In that time of neglect, I committed myself to explore the Malfunctioning Depot in detail. Any worthwhile treasures were cleared out, and someone clearly wanted to trash the computer infrastructure of the station and leave no secrets behind - but they'll have to do better than that to outwit one of the LPI's finest, ever.

Anyway, before I spill all the juicy details I'd much rather return to The Core with that valuable information rather than being left here to rot. Plus, with elbow grease, we could make this place ours. One more asset for The Core.
