I wasn't aware that there was something off about me. I do appreciate feedback about things like these, the kind not relayed through Nomak, that is. I'm not entirely averse to social calls, you know. But let's drop that for now, and focus on the business at hand.

The fabrication of an efficient forgery won't be too difficult, the time required to get it to a presentable state will be dependent on its complexity. In a mere few days, I can provide you with a simple ID that would fool all basic check ups, however, this forgery would quickly fail when subjected to a deep background check. To make it truly perfect, and create a new identity, the information would have to be appended into the database of the faction in question, over a secure terminal. Needless to say, an insider would be very useful for this task. Additionally, old entries of your friend's identity should be deleted - though this is much easier said than done. Lacking that, a change of outward appearance would be necessary. Hair style, length, and color should be changed, contact lenses for eye color and perhaps some good old fingerprint incineration via laser. Say, would this person be averse to some plastic surgery? Too much? Just a suggestion.

Feed me the details for now. Everything from the current, and soon to be previous, identity to preferred new identity, pictures, weight, height, fingerprint scans and so on. When this is done, I'll forward the data to my personnel and get them to work right away.

It's quite sufficient. Regarding the point of origin, I think I have just the place in mind. You can expect the ID to be complete come Sunday. I'll contact you once it's ready.

I think congratulations are in order, because your friend is now Lily Austin, a proud citizen of Mining Post X-35, Planet Pittsburgh. I hear it's not very nice at any time of the year. I think she should invest some time in developing a distasteful lack of manners and high culture befitting a person from there. Though I guess it shouldn't be too hard, given her...colorful past, pardon the pun.


It's very basic like you asked, but it should do the trick. The code is designed to be implemented inside a ship, and it should be compatible with Civilian IFFs. However, the card can also be printed, with appropriate equipment, should you so desire.

Also, before I forget. I had a very interesting chance encounter with one of your...friends. I didn't catch his name, but he was a relatively tall fellow with a visor obscuring his face, with apparently intimate knowledge of our past encounters and an infatuation with playing the role of white knight for maidens in distress. Now, I don't mean to meddle in your affairs, but I think it's very distasteful when your personal relationships become an issue for me, on account of our respective organizations' friendships and mutual respect. And I don't think you'd like the weight behind your name being thrown around carelessly and out of caprice. Not a huge issue, but just a heads up; It's better to mend small problems before they grow in size exponentially.

I had a small meeting with a certain Elena Voigt, whose organization has been a thorn in our side for quite some time. This person accompanied her, and made it his business to sabotage my efforts. Without him there, I probably would have been successful, one way or another. Have a listen:

[He brings up a small remote control device to his shoulder and presses a button, recording plays]

"The Commune and I have common friends and common enemies, Hussaini. I believe you know about a certain situation that began in the Omega-9 system, lead to the Cayman system and later ended in the Omicron Kappa system, where Skywolf One and Two got their hands on something that previously was owned by our common friends. It was delivered by a certain agent and a certain religious fanatic who later got a new perspective on things. You surely know who am I talking about. I just want you to know that those two individuals enjoy my protection and vice versa. And thus, if you decide to harm Miss Voigt and force me to intervention, at least one of those two individuals might be very mad at you."

[Recordings ends, a prolonged period of silence, Hussaini staring at the camera unblinkingly, before finally relaxing into a more friendly composure, smiling]

Hmh. I guess I was just too eager to jump to conclusions. It could just be someone from your past trying to do you harm, and I am sorry for accusing you. It is problematic, however, some loose cannon out there, using your reputation to his advantage. And now that we've established what is truly at play here, I think we should come up with a solution to this little problem, since it affects us both equally. And since you obviously have no allegiances to this individual, and he to you; you probably wouldn't have any objections to me authorizing a termination order; In case we ever run into him again, that is. Am I correct to assume so?
