Thank deus my request for a widernet account went through in time, otherwise we'd be completely mute out here. We lost engine containment and barely had time to vent; even so it fused most of our systems. We have a plug in the breach but I'm not sure how long it'll hold. Several of my crew and my companion are severely hurt, I hope you have a burn specialist in there. I'm still not sure this is getting through, our main dish got fried in the accident and most of our permissions were on that frequency. All that's left is the backup dish and we can't get through to anyone but the widernet so I hope someone's watching this feed. We're still on course thanks to inertia but I hope your docking web is strong, I'm not going to be able to slow her down on approach. We should be there in an hour. Until then we can only wait but PLEASE have your med staff ready, Gwin needs help bad. I can pay.

Tragic News: Troop Transport, Siphon, found empty!

Kaas, Edgerspace -- Workers at the Kaas Asteriod Mining Installation discovered the Siphon, a B-Class Modified Fighter/Troop Transport ship, drifting unoccupied in the black of Edgerspace. The Siphon, a Free Lance Army mercenary vessel on a routine exploratory mission, was completely vacant of its crew, yet showed no sign of forced entry.

Law enforcement officials were not forthcoming with information, but rescue personel who were first to the scene were perplexed by what they say was digital vandalism. The SOS signal was replaced by an endlessly repeating sequence "AIUS". Upon entry, the primary console screens were also repeating this sequence and the computer responded "AIUS" to all queries. One high-level technician suspected that all the original data files had been removed or replaced; only life support and other essential ship functions remained intact.

Though the search for crew members is still underway, all escape pods and secondary transport vehicles were present in their docks. There was no evidence of any harm to any living thing aboard ship, but there are also no leads to where they may now be.

The ship, at the start of its journey, was well-provisioned with luxuries not often found this part of space. Though the ship's logs were unavailable, estimates based on the company's records of initial cargo and projected use are perfectly in line with the contents of the hold.

Admin sent me both your requests. I am sorry to inform you that we currently have no working map of the Passenger as it is an ever changing Lightstation. I can however tell you of the areas that you can patron for an enjoyable time.

First, there are the Public Hangerbays which you have already seen on your dock with the station. This is a very busy place and it is advised that you stay out of the way unless you have business there. Thousands of ships come and go through the Public Hangerbays each with their own individual purpose. If you need to contact someone concerning the Public Hangerbays send a to-from to baycontrol.Q.widernet.smu.

Next are the Commons. This the main political and social forum of the Passenger. Come here to voice your opinion against the Bureaucracy or to just chat with friends. Get a bite to eat or rent a pod-hotel to sleep in for the night. There are even places here to shop for equipment and spare parts... contact thecommons.Q.widernet.lib for more info.

However, if you really want to go shopping there are two main options: The Parts Bazaar and the Higher Markets. You can find almost anything in the star system here. You can also sell almost anything in the star system here. Talk to partsbazaar.Q.widernet.mer and highermarkets.Q.widernet.mer respectively to find out more.

Lastly there is the Spacer District. If you're a lonely spacer and you like to drink this is where you can get liquored up and get your dig.. if you know what I mean. It's a bit seedy and tasteless... but if your looking for a good time you'll find it here. Sadly there is no one committee to message in the Spacer District, it's best to just go and see the place for yourself.

That's it for now, enjoy your stay, and play safe.

We've got HFR.920908398.XMD in our hanger and we are running a general maintenance check through your ship's system. It's gonna take a while and we'll let you know when we're done.

I did a sight check around you ship's hull to see if there might be any visual damage and it looks pretty beat up for a heavy freight. I noticed some carbon scoring on the underbelly. You do know these baby's aren't supose to go into combat, right? Well, we'll try to do our best with repairs, but it's gonna cost you. My estimate is about 7,000 cdu's.

I hope that you have a good stay while you visit the Passenger and if you don't have the cdu's it'll be a very long stay.

Get this, I was wandering through the lower halls digging through the spare circuits looking for some extra parts when I found this, a journal. Some spacer must have dropped it cause it's filled with drawings of places from all over the system. While flippin' through it I found a picture of our very own lightstation, the Passenger. Pretty cool. Well, I better get back to the scavange, else Gramps is gonna be rotten pissed.

p.s. Hey newbie, when are you gonna log into the widernet and get yourself an account?

Introduction Transmission #2210

from: PWC[passenger welcoming committee]
to: new guest

Salutations, traveler! Welcome to the Passenger, an ancient lightstation once used to warn spacers of unmarked asteroid collections. Today, most of the asteroid collections have been marked, and new smaller lightstations have replaced their older brothers.

Decommissioned, but still in working order, the Great Malle purchased this station from the then Talasharii Emperor, Dekendendori VI. As it passed through the Malle bloodline the station’s outside hull began to appear as if in disrepair. However, let this not fool you, the inner structure is in near perfect condition. So despite outside appearances this lightstation will be operational long into the future.

As you travel through the star system, be careful and remember you will always find a warm meal and fresh equipment somewhere in the corridors of the Passenger Lightstation.

May you have good computations!
