CAPTAIN, I JUST LEARNED OF THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE KINCARDINE WITH SEVERAL OF OUR PEOPLE ONBOARD. AMONG THEM ARE MY FRIENDS JAMES KERMIT AND KATRIEL SEDAI. I CANNOT SIT IDLE AND WAIT FOR THEIR SAFE RETURN. I URGENTLY REQUEST YOUR PERMISSION TO TAKE THE ASIMOV AND ATLANTIS TO JOIN THE SEARCH PARTY.
