Good morning, assorted pirates and piratesses.
An associate of mine has informed me of your organizational difficulties.
Well, the Clearinghouse is always looking for operatives.
If your organization wishes, you could enter into a short or long term contract for various services.
The pay is good, the assignments interesting, the company excellent; you will, however, have to check your morals and values at the door. Hopeful for Collaberation,
The Auctioneer.

Greetings.
I'm Alex Drake, current leader of The Society. I'll be honest, you've caught my interest. But of course the businessman in me does not enter blindly into any form of contract.
So give me a few more details so we'll have something to discuss and we'll move from there.
Ah, Mr. Drake.
still lovesick?
But to business.
A man in my line of work likes to use a lighter touch when he can, but there are times when a heavy hand is required for things like assassination, cargo interdiction, espionage, ensuring vital intelligence does not reach it's recipient, things of an overt nature. While I have plenty of merc contacts, there is no need to burn a clean ID when one can use those who live outside the law.
It's really quite simple. I provide the mission, the contacts and intelligence neccessary to complete it, and half your fee upfront; you go do your thing, and recieve the rest of the payment upon confirmation of success.
In fact, i already have two assignments lined up if you are interested.
One is a basic escort mission for some valuable cargo, the other a convoy interdiction and destruction. Hopeful for Collaberation,
The Auctioneer.
As for the convoy mission you are so curious about, it's mostly trade ships. At least one of the escorts will be an agent of mine. The rest should be Shetlands and Shires.
It should kick off Saturday, and once in the air my agent will contact you and aid your interception. Hopeful for Collaberation,
The Auctioneer.

Well then, there shouldn't be a problem with the completion of either of those contracts. You give us a strike location and time on the convoy and we'll show up. As for the escort I'll just need to know how many ships you're looking for and we'll get that done to.
I look forward to the possibility of... return business.
Two ships should be sufficient for the escort, although there is some expected heat from the Vagrant Raiders, who have prior knowledge of the ships's schedule.
And I meant what I said about checking your morals at the door. Your escortee will be a Corsair, and while I know your organization has aligned itself somewhat differently, it is vital for my business that the orders and information he possesses reach Rochester and Freeport 2.
You will meet the escortee in Omega 3, at Freeport 1, at a time to be transmitted later, although I expect sometime tommorow or the day after. The pay for this escort will be 25 million credits each.
As for the convoy, it will begin moving at approxemately 1500 GMT on Saturday. Interception is scheduled for 1510 GMT in Magellan in The Barrier Ice Field.
If any details of the interception change, the lead mercenary, who will identify himself to you at 1501 GMT, will inform you at that time.
The destruction of the convoy is not required, only a heavy and thourough pirating. In addition, you are to pin the blame for the intelligence and the contract on a BDM agent within Bowex proper. Don't be too specific, and make them fish for it. Information given freely is never taken at face value.
The pay for this contract will be a lump sum of 45 million credits, in addition to your own take. Happy Hunting,
The Auctioneer.

Greetings,
Well we were out there. We spent two hours waiting in Magellan for the convoy to show up. Nothing, just a few independant traders. Your mercenary never contacted us either. So I'm guessing there was some kind of a snafu somewhere along the way.
We're still willing to hit the convoy if the date changed or something. Now there's also the matter of the escort mission. It could be done too but again you'll have to give us details on it.
