Report filed by: Officer J.D. Masket
Date: August 29, 817 AS
Subject: Prison Liner LPI-Springhill Activity report

• We received a transmission from an unknown source in New York, someone claiming to have 100 hostages near the sun, ready to jettison them into the star if he didn't receive 10 million credits. After brief negotiations, We were able to bring the ship into close range and confirm the status of the hostages.
  
  He was then informed that LPI does not negotiate with hostage takers. I ordered everything in range be tractored in at a moments notice, had the medical and security teams on stand by and opened fire. Before he could react, the ship blew apart and the hostages were all safely aboard.
  
  most of them had only light radiation burns, the hostage taker was killed in the blast. Several "bystanders" had a problem with my rash decision which "risked the lives of the hostages", and that LPI allowed these people to be taken hostage in the first place. I put an end to this, but announcing that these "hostages" were lane hacker collaberators. He had no intention of jettisoning any of them. All 100 hostages are now on cell block D, awaiting transfer to sugarland where they will join the workforce.
  
  side note, the prisoners continue to insist that they really are innocent civilians and don't even know who the lane hackers are. Sound proof cells recommended.
  
  End of report.
