*Transmission begins*

Konnichiwa all honorable members of Samura,

Not sure how to begin with this.
I am sure not all of you do not know me.
Well to begin to introduce myself I am the captain of the Samura|-Ikoma and her crew.

Today something happend to us what no one wish to be happend.
After swept away from a convoy last night we managed today to proceed our journey to the Nagano system. Our end destination was planet Tomiaka where I am now to write this message.

I shall just be short because I know you all have better things to do then just to read this kind of messages.
The point is I am be robbed by an Outcast named Caitlyn Velaquez.
It happened all so quick that we could not do anything. Leaving the trade lane near the Honshu-New Tokyo jump gate we were interupted by heavy CD fire.
Crippled as we were we tried to reach one of the trade lanes to escape the inconviniant situation. After a critical hit on one of our engines we couldn't even reach the lane.
There we got the demand to drop all of the cargo. Of course we resist to gave her any. Probeply she had never got any negative reply on her demand because she switched from demand. Sad but truth it was a price we had to pay, 4 million to be exact, or loss of ship, cargo and maybe also our lives.
After the money transaction the pirate went away. Our engineer on board could repair the main damage and we proceded our journey to planet Tomiaka.
I have no proof of this accident because in the first barrage of fire we lost camaras which could take care for some evidance.
Therefor I ask you please do believe me as an honest captain of Samura.

Very sad and disappoined in myself I let you deside what the kind verdict you give me,

Sayonara,

Ando, Etsu
