My dear Ser Arris:

Thank you for responding to my PAD message. I heard you had been released from On-Site Emergency Medical shortly after you regained consciousness. I wasn't certain how throughly you had been debreifed on thh circumstances of your arrrival here, and I thought I would try to anticipate a few of your questions.

Concerning the ship you were in when you landed here on Hermes, I am sorry to inform you that a check on its make and registration has turned up a CIS report. Apparently it is a private vessel that was boarded and stolen a few weeks ago near Nav 153. It has been confiscated by the relevant authorities.

A check of the ship's computer indicated that a nav course from Crius local space to Hermes was entered into the computer before the ship took off at Crius. As you know, you have testified that ;you have no memory of plotting this nav course. you have maintained that you were wounded in a firefight at Crius Hospital and thrown into a ship, whereupon you swiftly lost consciousness. You have stated that you remember nothing more except waking up in the emergency center at OPC HQ on Hermes.

As you were dressed in a physical rehabilitation uniform when you arrived, we took the liberty of contacting Crius Hospital. They confirmed that your name was indeed Lev Arris, and that you had been declared missing after an explosion and firefight inside the rehabilitation area of the hospital, such as you described.

Crius Hospital also confirmed that you were recuperating from cryogenic sleep at the time that the ship you landed in was stolen from Nav 153. Thus, given your testimony and corroboration by the hospital, you have been cleared of all charges in that matter.

You will find your credits restored to you (less landing fees, EMS charges, impoundment fees, the cost of your new clothes and PAD, etc.). You will also find that your access to the CCN booth system has been reinstated.

Given your amnesia, I have put together a few pamphlets which I hope may help you in the coming weeks.

Welcome to Hermes, Ser Arris. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Sincerely,
[signed]
