Recently, close examination of fleet inventory showed that a ship assigned to me had been stolen. The initial report is available here:

This morning, it had become clear to me and my family that my son, Toine Velaio, was photographed aboard a ship that fit the description. From this photograph, it is clear that Toine might have been abducted as his expression was that of utter fear. An Amber Alert was issued soon after when hails to the ship from a passing trader in Sol II went unanswered. The Amber Alert has been broadcasted by all stations throughout the galaxy.

As one can see from my logs:

Toine has never been involved in any IDF activities or any hostile activity towards anyone from any nation.

I beg Toine's abductor for leniency and safe return of my beloved son. I am offering a reward of 2 million credits for however leads Toine to safety.

Father of Toine Velaio

The following was received on the galaxy-wide comm channel tonight. Attempts to communicate were not successful, nor was the ship spotted.

[Thu Sep 22 20:37:02 2005] [100]<Toine son of Mogul> ... *dzt... *crrrr*pop* elp!... *dzt... oken! ...*crrshhhhh...

From this, I deduce he is asking for help, has a malfunctioning comm system, is worried about crashing, and may be trying to report his location and/or abductors (*crrrr*). Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Sounds vaguely familiar to something. But what? oh yeah the Spike..... >.>

Actually, sounds more like he took daddy's ride for a spin, crashed it into a roid, and is now floating aimlessly in space.

As for Teh Spike, I don't think Lecter would use it on an Itani. He would have shot the crap outta him instead.

Yeah. I'm inclined to blieve Jex. Cuz he ain't got the Spike that's for sure.
