The commander on board the STC Frigate puts his head in his hands.
"For heaven's sake... why am I the one who has to deal with branch defence? Why couldn't someone else deal with these mental cases."
The comms officer spins in his chair, a look of exhasperation on his face also.
"Commander, I know it's not my place but... why don't we just frag em? Who would know after all? It'd be just one more wreck."
"As pleasing as that idea is Simmons, I think we have an observer. It wouldn't do to break possible business ties, no. We will launch a boarding action."
++All Marines to boarding shuttles, repeat, all marines to boarding shuttles, Boarding action in t-5.++
Shortly EMP missiles spring from the STC installation, impacting on the unknown ship and knocking out it's systems. Several heavy looking shuttlecraft lance forth from the base, swooping in on the ship, the mines ahead of them deactivate as they plough through the field, and they pull up on reaching the ship, docking tubes extending and locking onto airlock entry points, shortly the sounds of activity can be heard, as the STC Marines start to cut their way into the ship with their Laser weaponry.

++Welcome back, It is pleasing to see the return of a customer, you are cleared for entry into STC territory without escort, if you wish you may come and talk to us face to face this time, though this is of course, at your discretion.++
