(Ricor Messman)

Much to your surprise, the main screen is activated and you find yourself staring at a young woman with somewhat hawkish features and small eyes. Although you're positive that the Bridge-Cam is offline, the woman appears to be looking directly at you and a thin smile forms on her lips. Judging by the look on the face of the Comm-Liason, this transmission was meant to be set to audio-only. Apparently, the woman likes to make an impression.
,,Captain Messman. I do so regret you weren't here to meet us in person'', she says. Her voice booms through the speakers and echoes through the Bridge, and you find yourself wondering who is regulating the volume. The camera zooms out, and gives you an impression of the state the Launchbay is in. The floor is littered with motionless bodies and one of the walls is covered with scorch-marks.
,,Unfortunately, we were unable to repay your hospitality in kind. But if it's any kind of consolation: we payed for our intrusion with many lives, whereas most of your men are still very much in one piece. Now, whether or not they stay that way is up to you. Power will be restored in a few minutes, after which you'll plot a course for Wayfarer 6. Upon our arrival there, we will surrender to FedSec. Needless to say, if you make any attempt to retake Deck 4 by force, we'll start executing the very fine members of your crew. Any attempt at a delay, and we'll do the same.'' She smirks and her image begins to fade. ,,Have a nice day.. captain.'' A fraction of a second later, the screen turns black.
