Yahoo~ Chloe here~ Now you're probably wondering who what or how in the heck so let me lay it down for ya. I'm repping a gang of cool gals from the Lane Hackers, made contact with one of yours up in the Taus the other day and we got to talking,yea? The circumstances don't really matter, what matters is this:

We got some cutting edge computerware, the kinda stuff that'll make corpo IT-heads rip their hair out in frustration. Now we could ship it off to the highest bidder, buuut~ From what we hear you guys might have a use for it. Especially if we get our chairjockeys to fiddle with it first so its, like, laser-targeted. So how 'bout we talk shop? Give ya girl a call.

PS: Already left a little treat for y'all in Java. Enjoy~ [Attachment]

Well, hello there, Chloe.

I'm Harriet Potter, a humble IT specialist in employ of the Guild. I've got to say - that's a flamboyant introduction for a cell of Lane Hackers; or that it is in the eyes of a Liberty-born individual like me.

But that's all pep talk. It just so happens I can appreciate your cutting edge computerware and make good use of it; it can contribute to my own research or help me deal with a little eyesore up here in the Taus - I'm sure you or your girls may of seen it attached to Java.

I'm all eager to make use of what you've to offer, even if it's just for the amusement of seeing corpo IT-heads rip their hair out in frustration. But every trade has a price. What's yours?

~Harriet Potter.

Hi Harriet! Always totes awesome meeting more IT people outside the corpo world!

We got two things in mind we want outta you guys:

Number the first: We know you've gotten a lot more heavy-handed at enforcing your rules in the Taus, and that's fine and dandy, but us Hackers need our Cardamine. Or else, y'know, we die. So we'd appreciate it if you could start looking the other way on the rare occasion we do ship the stuff out.

Number the second: You guys are pros at getting your hands on a buncha useful metals we could use. Not like other corpos are gonna ship 'em if we ask nicely, right? So we'd like to bump that cooperation back up to the old days of Freeport 4. Keep a line open for future projects, you know what I'm saying?

And sorryyy~ but anything you we do hand over to you we're gonna make sure you can't turn against the 'casts. Like, we like you, but not, cause a major diplomatic incident kinda like you, yeah? Deal on the table is for anti-corpo wares only!

Hi again, Chloe.

Sorry to come back to this communication so late - I've had my hands full as since my coming to the Guild, my career didn't just progress swiftly - it skyrocketed; not that I'm complaining, but that came with work and new responsibilities piling up and forcing me to dig through the pile until I got to this point. My idle musings aside, let's get to the point... or points, even.

We, of course, don't want to see you and your girls perish in such an embarassing way. Lane Hackers were, and are great partners to the Guild so I'm sure some leniency in that regard is perfectly possible. What we need to know is what to look away from, so some gimmick we can tell you ladies apart is a must here.

And you've come just to the right people for the minerals: we can provide it, raw or processed, on request or a regular supply as part of a contract, whichever you prefer. And worry not for the last part, Omegas are going to be a great playground for what you can provide, thus eliminating the likelihood of unfortunate accidents that'd poorly reflect on your merry gang.

~Harriet Potter.

Heyo heyo! Congrats on the promotion! Don't sweat the lag, we've been hella busy too. With stuff that's relevant to the convo even!

First things first, you can usually tell us girlies apart by the ');--' on our callsigns, can't miss it. We haven't been as active up in the Taus as of late cuz of a recent project, but if you spot one of our runners, y'know how it goes.

So about that project. The too long; didn't read version is: we set up a big R&D lab to make high-tech gear and are keeping it hush-hush with an Ageira cover corp. And that lab is one big hungry baby lemme tell ya. So all those metals your guild is great at mining and refining? We could use shipments of 'em on a semi-regular basis. We'll pay good creds for 'em too!

As for our little malware trade, I'm picking up what you're putting down. You guys want some Rheinland corpo-busters? Some Daumann Demolishers? Some Kruger Krushers? Cuz I can ask some of the girls to start snooping around their networks and see what their security is like, heh heh~
