Deputy Cristina Martelli, in this communication I am representing the Lane Hacker Professorship.

Through vigorous internal investigation as well as detailed testimonies from two different organizations, we are aware that the person you have previously sent to establish relations with the Lane Hacker is an infectee. I am referring to the former human named Enma Loyola.

The Maltese are well-aware of our stance towards the nomads since 800 A.S. and this has not changed even a little. We have always ignored your dealings with this hostile alien race but we do not appreciate being contacted by one of them, dressed up as your representative or we will ignore that it is part of your Council. We are looking for allies in the Maltese, not pawns of the nomads.

Subsequently, the Lane Hackers cannot engage in further negotiations or contact with the National Council until the infectee is removed from her senior post. In addition, please inform your pilots that if the infectee is sighted within the systems recognized by the Orange Alliance as Lane Hacker territory, it will be destroyed on sight. Usually the infectee is escorted by pure nomad ships, not other NC members, but we wish to make sure so that we avert a diplomatic incident.

That would be all. Thank you for your time.

Ah Mr Vertiga, what a surprise.

It's good to see your face which we didn't have last time as you were trying to pretend being someone else.

It has also been quite some time since we last heard from you. So what are you up to lately? And this is not just a friendly question, I am genuinely curious. Maintainance costs for battleships are massively huge and you come here promising lots of money to learn more about what.. a person leading an organization that you not so long ago defected from?

I think you found a new organization to work for. Money doesn't grow on trees much to Interspace Commerce's satisfaction and I think we deserve to know. With proof, if possible.

It's a pleasure, Mr. Yoshida.

To be honest, I'm surprised you ask. I always thought you're better informed about the people you share your high quality technologies with. About that, I'm very pleased so far. Seems like you didn't secretly get the copies of my transmissions. Or the dirty messages to my fiance are just not interesting to read.

But let me try to make this as easy as possible. Call me an account and a price, and you will receive the money. After that, you can send me the data I requested - if you have it, of course. You see, I fully trust your reputation. There is no reason for you to not keep your promises. However, if you're really interested in the way I got the money that I have: The Outer Rim offers some ores that are just waiting to be mined, and some services to be done. The Apahanta might not be transport ship, but it is capable to enter and leave Corsair territory without being harmed. That's the little advantage we have.

If you really wish to learn more, I'd suggest a meeting. How about Baffin? Rarely visited, protected by the Zoners and yet a certain beauty of the stellar objects. And don't worry, no silly games, no masquerade. I want to convince you of my respect to your group.

At that time, our "high quality technologies" were provided to a battleship captain seeking to release himself from the shackles of militarism and oppression. I simply gave you the tools to complete your mission, the freedom of choice belonged to you and your crew (those that you didn't kill I mean).

Mr Vertiga, you had this one opportunity to be entirely truthful to me but you wasted your chance. I guess it's time to reveal my cards then.


According to your claims you used this opportunity to involve yourself in the alien artifact extraction. There is a certain truth to your statement but that is not the whole truth. For example, this does not explain the numerous entries your battleship has produced in the Universal Ship Identification system (USI) throughout the summer, the last entry of your battleship dating back to August 11th.

In fact, Ezrael, you have been very active on the Bretonia - Independent Worlds - Liberty axis route and not just with your battleship, the last entry I have on you is dating back to September 6th. That's not the way to Crete, by the way.

And there is one more thing. The leadership of Battlegroup Auxesia has provided us with undeniable evidence of your cooperation with the alien race. Your self-admitted interest and occupation in the alien artifacts industry is merely a coincidence, right? Or how you found such a reliable source of sponsors which sufficiently explains the source of your wealth. Whether you are one of them or merely a tool which advances their agenda, it matters little to me. While the Lane Hackers have rarely made business with their enemies, the only services we can offer to the nomads is evaporation, destruction and overwhelming annihilation. So I am afraid but I cannot provide information about Guildkeeper Lyell, as it is not part of the services we can offer to your masters.

The aliens' interest in her does not surprise me however, I also find Ms Lyell a quite talented individual. As for your innocent invitation to a remote location in Baffin system, I am afraid but I have to decline that too. Doctors tell me it might not be good for my health.. or body.

INITIALIZING MESSAGE


Senor Yoshida,

I am not happy to receive demands that require me to essentially get rid of one of the most influential and useful Maltese who work for us.

And I dare you calling me a pawn of the nomads. I serve Malta and who I chose to. There is no spirit nor alien dictating my every way.

But you are in luck as Senora Loyola has resigned from her Council position. So the burden of deciding what to do is luckily taken of my shoulders.

If this was your only demand then I hope you are satisfied now and we can resume negotiations.

Until then.

Cristina Martelli

We are very pleased to hear that the alien has stepped down from its leading position, though it's worrying to still identify it as a Maltese, ignoring of what it really is.

However please allow me to address what you called as "Your demands". These were not our demands, they were requirements in order for our discussions and negotiations to make sense and be meaningful. We do not believe it is proper when you try to establish bonds with us and you send an infectee as your representative. We do not believe it is proper to discuss sensitive matters and know that all of this is shared with an alien race which almost destroyed humanity two decades ago. Sensitive matters such as shipping convoys or intelligence sharing. They might not attack your ships, but they are very interested in destroying ours.

I hope you now better understand our position and how the situation is viewed from our side. But since, according to our sources, the leadership of NC is now free from nomad agents, let's put the matter aside and adress the request you have brought before us. It is true that the Lane Hackers are very interested in rewarding the National Council via our Job Board. It is a well-rewarding Board, restricted to almost everyone but the Maltese, and your men and women would certainly appreciate a significant increase in their revenues and salaries. As a further motivation all NC- claims will be doubly rewarded for a full month. However the whole package will be activated as soon as your mission in Roussillon is complete.

INITIALIZING MESSAGE


I bid you good day,

One of our soldiers has asked for one of your fighter vessels. Now I wouldn't even have noticed it if I hadn't recently discussed these ships with an advisor. I see that despite our ships being the best for their military job, the Vindicator is highly efficient and specialised for the environment you fight in.

Now I was told the soldier in question was indeed capable of utilising a ship of this kind. But there is other cases in which I'd like utilising these vessels.

Now I know that your production rates aren't high enough to supply mass demand and I thus want to put in the request for 4 Vindicator class vessels.

Should monetary compensation not suffice we are willing to supply you with two heavily armored transports once they leave their production line. Development for it is nearly complete at this point.

I assume your production is fueled with the necessary materials. If not we can have you delivered with metal or other goods required to construct your ships.

Maybe you should consider outsourcing at least parts of your production. I will be seeing Oranos in a conference tomorrow. I am certain Atlantis is ready to work with you should you so desire.

Until then.

Cristina Martelli

President Martelli,

Your request has been reviewed and processed by our Logistics Department. I am afraid but we can only spare two Vindicators at this stage. Demand for Sirius' best space superiority fighter has never been greater. However I have a counter-offer to make.

Instead of offering us a transport still in-development which may be completed and enter production in many months from now or even a year, we would like a receive license which will allow us to purchase it from Maltese ship vendors without extra fees or paperwork, only the vendor's market price will be paid in full.

On top of two LHX7-F4S Vindicators we will also offer x8 At28 "Hellflurry" Tachyon Gun Mk IV & x8 A30 "Hellflurry" Tachyon Cannon Mk V. I believe that's a fair exchange for the license. Please let me know of your decision.

INITIALIZING MESSAGE


I bid you good day,

while I am convinced about the effectivity of your ships and guns we cannot just promise you a blanket license as you desired in your previous message.

I was however talking with the Administration of Venice Shipyard and we came to the conclusion that we would allow you to purchase as many as six vessels once they become available. No extra fees. Though you will have to send your people up here to inspect and fly them to Liberty.

But I saw the designs. They will be more than capable of surviving the way there. I personally am eager to see the first reports of unknowing Colonials opening fire on them just to be proven yet again that they cannot outpace the development of those who understood the benefits of cardamine.

I think you will still find this offer pleasing and I invite you to see the production on Venice yourself. You will be convinced that this deal is far more than just fair.

Until then.

Cristina Martelli

Konbanwa, highly esteemed Lane Hackers.

This message is merely a registration to the Bounty Boards. Conducting some assassination shouldn't be much of a problem, in fact, it would be more of a pleasure. Combining it with profit would be a pleasant hobby.

You surely know my standings towards your organisation. The vessel name would be: Kyoko.Akagawa , The.Hanged.Man
