Thank the maker! I’m running on fumes here, and these Corvallen ships aren’t an escort party. A few more hits and I’m done for.

My ship is being held together with a wish and a prayer. I’ll need to get out of here before more of those Corvallen imbeciles return and try to finish the job.

Dialogue
A band of Corvallen raiders have set their sights on me. Even now, as I speak, they are in close pursuit. I don’t think they’ll stop until they tear my ship asunder for salvage and scrap.

My ship contains… sensitive cargo. It absolutely cannot fall into their hands. I will continue to flee, but I estimate that my ship will run out of fuel by the time I reach the Narendra system.

If you’re hearing this message… please respond. I’m running out of time and this cargo cannot be lost under any circumstances. I urge you to consider intervening. This message will repeat.

The communication repeats here. This scientist, Dalen… his references to sensitive cargo aboard his ship provide cause for concern. I would advise immediate investigation into the matter.
