Well, Commander, it’s been a pleasure. I took the liberty of setting up an automated chop shop on your Station. Remember what I taught you about the Stella.

Oh, by the way, I sent some more upgrade ideas to your R&D building. If you want to put some research into those, I think they’ll help you out.

While you were gone, your Station had a breach. Someone managed to implant some intrusion subroutines into your core database.

I’m sure you would, but I’m due to meet with some very important people. So if it’s all the same to you, I’ll just kill you now.

Nice work. You entered Exchange space though, so they’ve likely got your signatures. We’ll need to do another refit of the Stella. When you’re ready, we’ll start by scrapping it.

We’d better clear out of here before whoever he was supposed to meet shows up. Let’s get back to your Station, we’ll need a refit after all this anyway.
