Erasmas:*opening a secure channel to the LRI-Technical Support* Good evening, my dear scientists! My name is Erasmas de Shahrizai, and I'm here on behalf of the individuals you are expecting. But before we get to the business at hand, may I tempt you with my "Offer of the Month"? I can get you any... *some rustling sounds, a loud thud and some whining suggest that Erasmas has been forcibly interrupted; the words "not even a Junker would buy it" are clearly audible* Ah.. yes... my apologies, I had to answer a, uhm, call. Yes. Ehm... I request permission to approach and dock to your vessel, and you'll be able to talk with them directly. Far Star out.

In the meantime, onboard the Resheph cruiser, the sophisticated sensors of the ship detect a disturbance in the vicinity, and an attempt from an unknown user to eavesdrop the communications. The unidentified ship finds all its frequencies jammed, and the comm system overwhelmed by a 5 gigawatt emission, threatening to literally melt the circuits if its not turned off immediately.
//OORP: if you open a communication channel, you make yourself visible on comms, even if your ship is masked. Also, Resheph doesn't have exactly cheap civilian sensors, heh...
