To: Bretonian Criminal Database. From: Andrew Peterson, ExSec, Bowex. RE: Criminal mercenaries.
The mercenary 'Maja' attacked one of our ships twice, and it is the opinion of ExSec that such attacks should be appropriately responded to. We are requesting that the forces of the BAF and BPA deny docking permissions to the pilot in question, and apprehend it for trial as soon as possible. Bowex will be repealing docking permissions at our own facilities shortly. I've attached my subordinate's report.
Yours faithfully,
~Peterson.

To whom it may concern in Bowex ExSec Division; This is a report of an attack, and requires attention from ExSec. This is also a trade report, and may require attention from Trade and Shipping Division.
[...] It was shortly into our Trade Lane that we were disrupted, and intercepted by one Maja.
It was promptly told to us that we were wanted dead, and after our suggestion of out-bidding the mercenary's employer was denied, the woman opened fire.
Our crew decided we weren't quite content with dying, and proceeded to make best speed using all systems available to the nearby station. We covered about 20K or so under fire, which our crew was quite proud of. We made it to the base and docked successfully. Our shields had been knocked out, and our hull dented significantly, but nothing that required major repairs.
After our celebratory party at breaking a ship record while the ship was repaired, we set course to continue - unfazed, even non-chalant - to Planet New Berlin.
We continued, and encountered the ship again. Our Shetland hadn't caused much damage to it regrettably, though we did aim our best for her eyes. She politely greeted us, and again opened fire. We docked, this time the run not needed. Our crew was dismayed by the lack of excitement this time. No party. [...] We have included scans and biometric information for the convenience of our ExSec department.
Her ship was equipped with Debilitators and Purple Goddesses. We know our weapons.
