Overview of the Incident: On/around the above listed time, crewmen Titus Shaner, Brox Ragaat, and Ezho Guwan, under employ of Hephaestus Industries, Orion Express, and Orion Express, respectively, departed the SCCV Horizon on the Spark mining shuttle, with Shaner as the primary pilot. Earlier in the shift, scientist Thomas Smail had lost his hand in a workplace incident wherein he tried to hack a machine; the wound was cauterized immediately, but no medical or machinist personnel were available for medical care beyond rudimentary treatment. According to the interviewed offenders, the Spark forwarded a medical request to the SAMV Florian Geyer, a Solarian Naval vessel on routine patrol. The Florian Geyer responded with an intent to send out an away party. Following this, it is alleged that the crew of the Spark entered the proximity of the SAMV Florian Geyer to throw tomatoes at the crew, at the suggestion of Titus Shaner, as part of a prank.

When this intrusion into the Florian Geyer's airspace was met with warnings and hostility, the crew of the Spark is alleged to have falsely claimed thruster issues, prompting the station intelligence to request the presence of an engineer and myself to be teleported onboard the Spark and ensure its return to the SCCV Horizon. For a significant amount of time following this, the Spark neglected to promptly return to the SCCV Horizon; instead, it repeatedly flew in and out of communications and teleportation range of the Horizon. Throughout this ordeal, the station intelligence, BUDDY, maintained communications with the crew of the Florian Geyer in the command bunker over the hailing channel in order to reduce hostilities, prevent the destruction of the Spark, and prevent the instigation of a diplomatic incident. I was on standby in the teleporter room to enter the Spark and forcibly demand the return to the Horizon, but the shuttle did not remain within teleportation range for long.

Eventually, the crew of the Spark returned to the Horizon in a depressurized state; it was claimed that crewman Titus Shaner entered the vacuum of space and fled/attempted suicide before the shuttle's return in order to avoid repercussions with ship security and the Solarian element. Ezho Guwan assumed control of the Spark after this. Ezho Guwan and Brox Ragaat were immediately detained once medical staff cleared them on arrival and they were transported to the brig by myself for questioning. At this time, the Solarian element declared they were boarding the Horizon, with or without permission, to interview the offenders personally and collect the appropriate paperwork. At this time, Operations Manager Shahar Sraran'Mrakiizar awakened for duty and was briefed on the incident by myself and the station intelligence, as they were the first Command staff on duty for the shift. LCDR Denis Porada, commanding officer of the SAMV Florian Geyer, and his crew boarded and were escorted to the interrogation room, where he interviewed Guwan and Ragaat. 

Following the interview of Guwan, Captain Qeryuli Auil'suos-Fedas awoke from cryogenic sleep and was briefed on the incident; they sat in on the interview with Ragaat. Mid-way through the interview with Ragaat, the SCCV Horizon received an emergency fax from the B-53LIN Relay Station that an unauthorized individual, possibly Titus Shaner, had intruded upon the station. The Horizon prepared for recovery by the time the shift had ended.

Both surviving crewmen were placed in holding-until-transfer at the end of the shift. The Solarian element departed without further incident and thanked us for our accommodation.

[21:27] Ezho Guwan says, "When we launch from Horissson."
[21:33] LCDR. Denis Porada says, "Oh, I see."
[22:30] LCDR. Denis Porada asks, "So, when this 'shaner' was in control. Why did he attempt breach the Florian's own airspace?"
[22:54] Ezho Guwan says, "Ssshaner want to throw tomatoess at you."

[27:42] LCDR. Denis Porada asks, "After you departed our airspace, and after a certian amount of time. You were in control after the Spark was closing on the Horizon for a second time, correct?"
[27:54] LCDR. Denis Porada says, "During the spark, even."
[28:09] Ezho Guwan says, "Yesss. Sssshaner panicked, they feared punisshment."
[28:31] LCDR. Denis Porada says, "Right. And this 'shaner' was flying by the Florian again, correct>"
