scandal in theta

[Jinx]

transmission to Freeport 11 to be distributed all around zoner installations:

"the civilian liner "silvermist" was forced to stop and taxed in omicron-theta today. the captain says he was asked by the corsairs Arthas and Cannibal to hand over 5.000.000 tax. now that amount is not only outragous, but also highly suspicious to see corsairs to linger at Corfu base, basicly in the path of docking and undocking and to threaten zoners in their very own space. is there a new attitude towards the zoners from the corsairs? or are those two just misguided individuals.
however - the liner silvermist was able to escape the disruptors and make it to cruise. the corsairs did not chase the liner - but the ship was damaged heavily. repair costs were well over 20.000 credits ( spent on Crete ).

the silvermist commented the incident as follows:" we hope that this was just an attempt by two misguided youngsters in gunboats. the truce between zoners and corsairs is too profitable to give it up. as of now, we advice to advance into theta with extreme caution or bring an escort."

transmission end.
