Met one of your men today; well, that was a woman, actually. Name's Carmen.
Spent some time together in the funny pink blue system you obviously know already about. Pleasant times; lovely conversations.
Here is a snippet: [KNF]Nk.Junko.Sanada: What is that Forlorn thing anyway. Do you recruit.
Forlorn|-Summer.Sadness: Yeah, sure we do. We're ughh a paramilitary. [KNF]Nk.Junko.Sanada: Ever heard about sweet Junko the great? That's me by the way.
Isabelle.Engler: They are hunting coaking Commune for Libertorian money. [KNF]Nk.Junko.Sanada: Uhuh.
Isabelle.Engler: From what I figured.
Forlorn|-Summer.Sadness: Now that you mention it, I've met you before. In Bretonia. [KNF]Nk.Junko.Sanada: Is that so. Did we fight each other?
Forlorn|-Summer.Sadness: No, don't think so. At least I don't remember that we did. [KNF]Nk.Junko.Sanada: That's probably for the best.
Curiosity often gets the better of me.
So who are you exactly and whom do you serve? What are your objectives, whom do you consider as your enemies? What is your main area of operation? Do you like fat tuna fish and Karaoke?
As for me, I'm a Seto war veteran who has left House Kusari a while ago. Became a mercenary, had fun with some playtoys. Nothing too fancy. I recently returned to Kusari and.. Let's say I have a complicated relationship made of love and hate with Kusari Naval Forces High Command.
It's always wise to assess your options in case things go south. Are you one?

Miss Junko.
I see you've met Carmen, a close friend of mine. Well, you've got my attention, so lets see what we can do here.
Nick Stenn, leader of the Forlorn Hope, at your service. You've already been a mercenary, so you'll fit right in with the rest of us.
As for objectives, we currently work to keep several regions of space safe, while using the proceeds from such ventures to further our own goals, all of which are not easily discussed with outsiders. Enemies are a nice mix of criminals and Gallic Navy. We take special delight in removing alien worshippers and their kind, as well as nomads themselves. As for areas of operation, we've got contracts that have taken us pretty much everywhere there is to go.
A complicated relationship is only a partial issue, and one that I'd be willing to work around. I suppose I'd need to know if you're infected, an alien worshipper or a Gallic spy. However, surviving an encounter with Carmen leads me to believe you might be in the clear for that. So yes, I, and the Forlorn Hope are options for you to consider.
Karaoke is always a good night, and while tuna is pretty good, I prefer red meats. We'll have to find a karaoke bar to see which of us is the better singer.
Thanks for the little bits of information you were keen enough to exchange with a complete stranger, although I have to admit that doesn't tell me much. Gallic Royal Navy? I don't mind them as long as they don't become a concrete threat for House Kusari. Not that I mind shooting them either. They are talented, as I could see. It's always funnier to tinker with capable play-toys.
I suppose you intend to learn more about me and to see by yourself what I'm worth in a fighter before you would consider answering all the questions previously asked. I'd be pleased to oblige. Name a place where your men would be able to dance all night with me and I will try to be there.
Would be pleased to tell you more about my past experience as well once the deed is done.

Miss Junko.
In addition to having the support and resources of the Forlorn Hope at your call now as one of its members, you'll also find a few benefits. Namely, the acquisition and maintenance of two ships for you to use while you're working. Of course, you'll have to choose which you prefer, as we have access to quite a few. I personally find the Crayterian Nyx to be an excellent choice, thanks to its agility. However, we can also provide civilian and borderworlds ships, as well as Gallic civilian ships.
On top of that, we field several types of bombers commonly, the favorite of our pilots being the Roc. You'll find that in addition to a fully furnished room waiting for you, there are several of the afore mentioned ships waiting for you to test drive them and make your choice.
Already made my way to Coronado system and picked up that brand new Nyx collecting dust in Glendalough's docks. I hope you won't mind.
Also started to move to the Omicrons to answer that call for help regarding this stupid idea you had; incidentally met two Mollies along the way. You will receive extracts from the gun-cams if you want to collect bounties off those.
Will take some time to get there...
Perhaps we will meet on Freeport 11.
