LAWFUL CONTRACTS - LIBERTY - SPECIAL BOUNTY

[Jack Payton]

This is Enforcer Jack Payton. Recently we decided to make unification of our ID transponders and in the process we discovered that our weaponry was incompatible with certain line of our gunships. Namely that our primary turrets were dangerously overheating which could lead to an explosion. In EDGE we seriously take international regulations concerning health and safety of our workers. That is why we had to replace our entire heavy gunboat line with Orca class gunships. This already thinned our resources. But the worst part was that on its virgin patrol in Cortez system our new gunship was ambushed and destroyed by Lane Hackers. Our gunship assisted by an external contractor encountered a lone Lane Hacker freighter. We intercepted him, scanned his cargo hold and it turned out that it was empty except a lone bounty hunter pilot. We of course liberated our pilot and informed the offender about the lock-down of the system imposed by Liberty Government. We decided that warning will be enough for him as his ship was rather harmless. It turned out, however, that he was just a bait and started to shoot cruise disruptors on our gunship. Suddenly two Lane Hacker gunboats appeared at the edge of sensor range. The only hope of our gunship to survive was to quickly destroy hostile freighter and enter cruise engines. Unfortunately freighter bought enough time for pirates to get in effective disrupting range. Cruise engines of our gunship were disrupted and it was destroyed just in the vicinity of planet. Fortunately our external contractor was able to track escape pods of our crew and deliver them to hospital on Planet Curacao. This unfortunate event forces us to cease gunship patrols in the Cortez and Magellan systems as we currently lack resources to replace destroyed equipment. We hope that after payment of all outstanding bounties we will be able to resume our heavy operations there.
