We already no who has been paying these mercs, Unselie, what i would instruct you to do is yes fight these mercs, but if by any chance it looks like you may be destroyed, run, this will make the merc and the person paying them incredibly mad which is what we want, don't let people make money from you when you could just escape.
Let Unselie spend her money, the problem will only persist and get worse for her, she pushes, we push harder, soon there wont be a place in Sirius for her to trade without having the brotherhood right behind her.
We did send a hit man to make her trade more difficult but he has been ordered on to something much more important.
She says she has friends, but from what i can see her friends are allso our friends so this can either escalate to whatever of she can pay the odd tax like every other normal trader.
The brotherhood does not bow down to the houses, we do not bow down to the Outcasts and we DO not bow down to a trader who thinks she can take on the Corsairs!!!
All names mentioned are KoS, kill them where ever they are found.
