My name is Caitlyn Cross, and I am the Chairwoman of Orbital Spa and Cruise. A couple of Days ago, we received a message from a Member of the Red Hessians. They have captured a Ship from the Orbital Spa and Cruise Franchise Fleet. Sadly, these Communist Savages have killed the Crew and destroyed the ship itself. But they have taken the Passengers Hostage and now demand a Ransom from us. While I would love nothing more than to hire some Mercenaries and drop the Hammer on these Assholes, I have to think about the safety of the passengers first. We have agreed with the Hessians to pay a Ransom of 5 Million Credits for the approximately 500 Passengers that they hold Captive.
I, for myself, don't trust the Hessians any further than my Blaster can shoot, and I could also not promise not to shoot them on sight, or give the order to do that. To kill an innocent liner Crew is the most heinous of Crimes a Criminal can commit in my eyes. That's why I'm contacting you today. MFE is well known as a Neutral Entity in the borderworld, and our past dealings have shown that you are a Trustworthy bunch. So that is why I wanted to ask if MFE would be willing to do the Hostage Exchange?
We would, of course, compensate you for this. And you could pick a Place and Time that suits you. All we would ask is to bring the Passengers home safely and render medical Aid where it's needed. We don't know the condition that the passengers are in right now; the Hessians have refused to share any information in this regard. We hope you can help us solve this Problem without further bloodshed.
Safe Skys,

Chairwoman Cross,
It is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance. I am sorry for this whole incident. Sadly, the Red Hessians are not and will not be the last group that will use hostages for personal gain as it is one of the oldest tactics out there, using people for bargaining chips.
The Hessians have not been the easiest group to deal with, but I will be glad to assist in this matter. I just need to see what ship I have available to take them for the transfer. I am thinking probably Omega 5 or something, that way I can get them to Freeport 1 where we have facilities to treat those who need it. I will keep you posted.
Respectfully,
Dr. John Holliday

I trust your judgement in this Matter, you know the borderworlds and the Hessian Scum better than I. While we operate some routes in the borderworlds, we do not have much knowledge of the region. Therefore, you have free rein for this operation, and we will support you in any way we can. Please inform us if you need anything from OS&C.
