"Er..." Captain Mitwell shrugs his shoulders, "I wouldn't think so. Had a report of a kidnapping that supposedly took place down in the Hooter colony." "In the middle of the night, one of the ships that was in port, the 100 dtoner.../BlueRain/...took off like a cat with a burnt tail right in the middle of all this." he says scratching his head, "And they didn't respond to hails to match course for an inspection, so that made it seem, but..." "Now, I don't know." he shakes his head, "See the report came from an anonymous source, and *they*, I mean the Hooter leadership, are denying that any such thing happened at all. They say there was a fire in a barn last night, but no kidnappings." "So, *something* happened." he says. "Something caused /BlueRain/ to run and refuse a hail from the System Patrol, but I don't know what. I guess the reported kidnapping was a ruse to get the authorities to stop the /Blue Rain/." "I'd *sure* like to know who made that report." Eris AKU GM Eris AKU GM
