I am ordering their board of directors to be arrested. Most of them are on that station, while some others are here on Horizon. I'm forwarding warrants to Federation PDAs. Get them done without compromising the station. "We have some civilian unrest here on Horizon, some demonstrators are obstructing IMPSEC officers. I need a company planetside to diffuse the situation by any means necessary. Baines Out."[/i] 10:04 A total of 22 station occupants are to be arrested, including Station Chief Oslo, AMC CEO Cedric Hart, AMC CFO Alex Wice. Subjects should be identified, arrested, and detained for pick up by IMPSEC officers. 10:05 Incoming transmission over the broadband...

The Ashby Mining Collective has been found to be under suspicion of supporting terrorist activity. All AMC personnel are to cease operations immediately and submit to IMPSEC officers for a background check. Failure to do so will result in arrest. All residents are to return to their quarters and remain their until ordered. Failure to comply will result in arrest. Comply or face the consequences."[/i] [hider=IMPSEC Comms] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/236x/8f/f5/d7/8ff5d7ebe936a832e21b18bb02ebba55--shadowrun-returns-character-art.jpg[/img] [i]"This is Chairman Walsh to Director Baines. What the hell is going on?! AMC are not terrorists! This is a public company invested by the colonists of Ashby. Their financial records are a matter of public disclosure for God's sake! I demand to know what proof you have that they're indeed funding terrorists."[/i] [hider=Transmission] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/236x/fc/f6/75/fcf6756eb12d8c8b3615227d0d3dec6e--art-spaces-character-art.jpg[/img] [i]"You don't get to make demands of me, Chairman. The details of the ongoing investigation will be released once I am satisfied the operation is concluded. Now I suggest you watch your tone and work to instill calm in your colonists."[/i] [hider=Transmission] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/236x/8f/f5/d7/8ff5d7ebe936a832e21b18bb02ebba55--shadowrun-returns-character-art.jpg[/img] [i]"This is utter bullshit. Don't think I don't know what you're doing. You haven't heard the last of this from me!"[/i] [hider=Transmission] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/236x/fc/f6/75/fcf6756eb12d8c8b3615227d0d3dec6e--art-spaces-character-art.jpg[/img] [i]"Oh I'm sure I have, perhaps your comrades in Helix will lend a sympathetic ear. You're under arrest for obstruction. Will you surrender, or do I have to send a team to pick you up?"[/i] [hider=Transmission] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/236x/8f/f5/d7/8ff5d7ebe936a832e21b18bb02ebba55--shadowrun-returns-character-art.jpg[/img] [i]"What?!
