Subject: An apology

Abrams,

Just wanted to apologize for the two brawls near your outpost. I know, I know, you've seen - and been through - a lot worse. I just don't want my visits to always be accompanied by pointless fights. Don't think there was much I could do to stop the Rogue from trying to take a bite out of me, but I could've done better keeping the other pirate off my back.

Sorry.

Don't know if your station picks up outside messages, or whether this'll get through your firewall.
Regardless, you don't have to reply.

Hayes, out.

"Hey, Hayes! Yeah, I'm sorry about that mess myself. You don't have something to apologise for. My place isn't a Freeport.
I only suggested that you two cut one another's necks a bit further away so the defences won't kick in. It also doesn't matter
what happened. I've heard a short time ago that apparently you guys are doing much better now. That you don't need me
anymore. You can't begin to understand how much of a...a relief this is! Nonetheless, it was somewhat enjoyable to work with
you, folk. Let Hawkins know the same if you want, or don't.

I sincerely hope you people get a hold of the situation! Have a good one!"
