[Nightfall]

Message TO: Fellow Hoodlum
Comm ID: Manuel Escobar


I'm in need of a little insurance claim.
Namely, I had to launch my CTrans with it's cargo hold empty, without crew and on autopilot from Cambridge as a [FR] tagged Osiris with a rather contradictory name of 'Liberator' was waiting to get my cargo. The 'Liberator' acted as I thought it will, it just blew the CTrans up, then was very disappointed to see it was empty.
Of course, the cavalry was late as usual and was destroyed before Boone could help them.
Thanx to the cavalry for showing up! We must work on that timing of theirs.

The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor
