WANTED: Unit 10, Div 44

Synopsis

Due to a zero-cooperation policy regarding extortion, the W.D. Corporation refused to abide by any ransom terms and now believes the kidnapped workers to be dead. Since the Corporation's security drones have been unable to capture or eliminate the kidnappers the Grey Huntsman have been enlisted to help. Unit 10, Div #44 is a Cruiser-class starship and is reportedly equipped with a strong shield generator and hull. Reward of 8,000 credits, funded by the W.D. Corporation."

Warping into the sector, the accused ship frantically hails and explains that the Corporation is lying and that the Sylvassi laborers are safe. The crew of the ship was tasked with an inspection of a factory when they were horrified by the labor conditions and sabotaged the facility to help their escape. The laborers were brought to a safe location at a Crashed W.D. Drone for the Colonial Union to pick up. Now they plan to ditch their ship and disappear, and ask for the bounty to be forgotten, giving the options to agree to let them go, demand compensation, or refuse their request.
