Dear Capitaine Pierre LaFlamme,
Or is it General now? Recently I have read a certain piece of writing. It is still hard for me to decide whether it was a tragedy or a comedy. In this piece of writing you invited me to your house, shown me your living room and the main hall, then you put a fully loaded gun into my hand and pointed it to your head just to tell me to leave your house and never come back or you will force me to pull the trigger. It would have been tragedy about a hospital for mentally ill, if there was no comic relief part when your cruiser and its fighter escort did not manage to destroy our transport all the way from your hideout to Tau-29.
I really don't want to pull the trigger, but I need to have a good reason. Tell me you have a good reason, please.
Kind regards,
Nicole Hunter

You have 48 hours to acknowledge this message and respond. If you fail the Council will suffer from The Lane Hackers and there will be no chance for you to repair your past mistakes. On top of that I will personally punish you and your lot whenever possible.
I am a vengeful woman. Do not toy with me.

Professeur Hunter,
Message aknowledged. I have to admit I found the story your minion cooked up quite troubling at first et then a slightly amusing once we were done with out internal investigation. The whole crew of both the CLT Aquitaine et the CLT Coureur de Bois have been questioned, including captains, et while I couldn't have a talk with Monsieur McScrap yet, none of those who were questioned could confirm meeting with any of those two hackers. Nor were there any ship logs to support the claim of Monsieur Wiesen that he got invited, he couldn't have been by low ranked personnel such as those mentioned earlier are, anyways.
It is possible that logs were erased more professionally than anybody in the Council could, et my people were lying to me, but I can easily assume forgery on your end, given you are quite notorious of excercising your knowledge in similar areas. I, however, know et trust my own better than you, yet setting up this whole tragicomedy, only to blackmail us seems too much of a fuss.
What "good reason" do you expect from me?
Sincerement,
General Pierre LaFlamme Du Conseil
General en Chef Du Conseil

Dear Pierre,
Your art of kitman is truly commendable. It is something I rarely have a pleasure to see and you certainly made my day. While usually in such situations I take the bait and indulge myself into intellectual battle of arguments and rhetoric artistry while flexing my vocabulary muscles, just for the sheer pleasure of it, I sadly have no time for this sort of entertainment today.
Instead, I will just tell you what I expect you to do.
- Reroute equivalent of 25 000 000 SC from your intelligence gathering fund to LH~R&D account. Who knows, maybe you will get an informant, but regardless Mr Weisen will be happy to patch up his transport which suffered damage from "unknown" hostiles.
- Extend planetary access for Toulouse to The Lane Hackers for the purpose of smuggling and resupplying. Who knows, maybe you will benefit from additional trade?
- Inform your patrols within Taus-Liberty corridor to ignore Lane Hacker transports carrying contraband. Who knows, but you should have better things to do and do not want to waste your resources while doing a police job.
These favors will certainly lower a chance of unfortunate accidents happening to the Council transports visiting Liberty and Independent Worlds space. And who knows, maybe in future could lead to something more?
Kind regards,
Nicole Hunter

Professeur Hunter,
Donc, let me clarify something first: Said "unknown hostilities" Monsieur Wiesen had to suffer are how we treat the usual non-complying intruder in Roussillon, excusez-moi, but I won't buy his tale about the invitation. He, just like any other trespasseur without permission, should have expected it, et he can thank whatever superhuman entité he may believe in, the proximité of the freeport, our bad aim, or just his dodging skills, that he survived the encounter.
That said, while your Tau-Liberty operations are none of our concern, the security of Roussillon is. You can forget your second demand right now, access to Toulouse is non-negotiable on terms like these.
Lastly, you still have something I do not really want you to have: your data about Roussillon. I'd like to know for what price you'd hand all copies over, be it that 25 million credits you asked, or something else, I'd also like to know what way you intend to guarantee you indeed hand over everything. If you can't think of anything, I may think of something on my own, because you know, Professeur, while I earlier said that your smuggling is none of our concern, that can quickly change now that I know where your more important shipments fly.
Sincerement,
General Pierre LaFlamme Du Conseil

Dear Pierre,
Your response is nothing unexpected considering your psychological profile based on previous communications and intelligence gathered since the initial contact made by Mr Nikolai Diavolo several years ago. While I was skeptical about your ability to see reason and accept an elegant, inexpensive and possibly most fruitful way out of this situation, it was a matter of upholding my reputation to give you such a chance.
You seem to have no idea of who we are and what we do. You are also ignorant of the nature of information itself which is eternal and indestructible. Your naivety is baffling, but sadly we do not sell Alzheimer magic potions, Pierre. All you can do is to buy exclusivity on the product we sell. I highly doubt your pride will allow you to meet its price, 250 000 000 SC.
For the sake of upholding our reputation I will give you some time before acting on the assumption of your negative answer.
Kind regards,
Nicole Hunter

Professeur Hunter,
Elegant, inexpensive, most fruitful way out, you say? If you really thought it would be reasonable from me not to try to make sure you do not use knowledge at your disposal against us, then you seem to have no idea about who I am at least as much as you may imply our lack of knowledge about you, hackers. You can flush your psychological profile down the toilet, it worths no more than merde. You need not to care about your reputation that much either, your arrogance et your petty insults uphold it quite high, Mademoiselle.
You still forgot one thing, however: the guarantee that if I buy exclusive rights to your... "product", then nobody else beside the two of us will ever have access to it without the consent of The Council. I'm fairly certain that you can think of something, else I'll need to look for that guarantee myself, et I'm not sure that you'd like that.
Sincerement,
General Pierre LaFlamme Du Conseil

Dear Pierre,
I must say your response is outside of the boundaries we set for most probable scenarios. This indicates you may understand that The Lane Hackers are the most known and respected information broker in this part of Sirius. If we are providing intelligence, leaking information or selling exclusivity it is a matter of upholding our reputation and position to ensure that provided data is genuine and arrangements are not broken - vide Hudson Crisis leak. If we failed at doing it nobody would be willing to buy our products, however, now even our enemies seek the data we provide.
To answer your question directly, the only guarantee you will ever have is our reputation. At the same time this is the only guarantee you will ever need. Consult your sources if necessary.
Kind regards,
Nicole Hunter

Professeur Hunter,
What I understand is that you try to get me believe in your reliabilité without proving anything. You keep repeating the word "reputation" like yours would be some sort of holy grail, some unquestionable entity, the answer to all questions... Et here I am, barely experiencing anything of this reliabilité. But why would I? After your intrusion into our homes, why would I risk millions of lives and believe you won't act against your own word? Because you say so? Et even then the only reference you can bring to support your claims is a leakage of confidental information to the public, I don't think it'll help me believe more that you can keep the secrets of others to yourself.
I hoped I was clear enough earlier, but you seem to be a slow learner: Your word is not enough. Think of a better guarantee of your silence et you'll have your quarter billion, or I'll find one, et you won't.

My patience has run out. I think I went too easy on you. You had your chance but now the time is up and this conversation is over.
