RE: Alisdair Buchanan
To Gateway HQ Staff:
This is Dr. Susan Johnson of Manhattan General. I regret to inform you that your CEO, Alisdair Buchanan, was seriously wounded in an incident above Manhattan yesterday evening.
From what we can tell, it appears that a band of Corsair-tagged vessels ambushed the Trafalgar just out of the trade lane from West Point. It appears he only had time to ask them what was going on. Here are the only images retrieved from the Trafalgar's holocam:
When his escape pod was brought to the surface, Mr. Buchanan was in shock, but able to mumble something about "without warning" - and it appears from the logs (or so the authorities tell me) that no message was sent from the attackers to the Trafalgar prior to its destruction. The rest of the crew is in somewhat better shape, and recovering well.
Mr. Buchanan's situation is, as I said, serious, but we do expect him to recover. We will keep you posted on his progress. Please let me know if there is anything further you need.
Yours,
Dr. Susan Johnson
Asst. Dir. Emergency Surgery
Manhattan General Hospital
