Greetings friends,

By now you've likely seen the official press release on the fate of the Martinique. The ransom had been officially negotiated down to 100 million and had been paid in full. The ship was supposed to be transferred in New Berlin orbit at 20:00 today. But nothing ever goes according to plan.

The IFF of the vessel was all wrong and the captain was complaining about illness among the passengers. A scan of the vessel revealed alien artifacts that the captain couldn't account for. It was enough to make me think the vessel was infested. Two Order agents were in the area. Officially, they would rather not have their involvement in the incident publicly known, I wanted all of OS&C to know that when we destroyed the Martinique, it was because we were sure that we were adverting a worse crisis on New Berlin. I didn't destroy the vessel out of an abundance of caution. I destroyed it on the advice of experts who have seen infestations before.

I also want to make it clear that though I was joined by the Cloud-9, I was the one who opened fire on the liner. Her destruction is my responsibility and I stand by that decision. I leave it up to the board to decide how that responsibility must manifest going forward. Until then, I want to make sure every liner captain knows why I did what I did.
Had it been the Breezewood instead of the Martinique, I would hope that all of our pilots would put their duty to humanity as a whole above any loyalty to the company or to myself.

Regards,
Jonathan Seabourne
