Greetings!

Some of your people may have heard of me, and some of you haven't. Who I am is not very important at this stage. However... What I have to say, or more correctly... What I have to offer, should prove to be of more interest to you. By a sheer coincidence, some financial codes fell into my lap. Codes that seem to go with some accounts that are... shall we say... not quite "official". I took the liberty of using these codes to scan the accounts, and I could see that there were quite a lot of money there. I wonder how the authorities would react if they knew about them? *strikes a thinking pose* Aaah, but what am I saying here? I'm sure it won't come to that. Don't you think so too?

What I'm proposing here is simply for you to buy these codes back. ...for a fee, of course. After all... I need to put food on the table for my crew. Should you require evidence that I indeed possess these codes, I will gladly send you some.

My best to all of you!
Ronnie Rayburn

Howdy!

It was nice meeting you in Theta the other day. As I recall it, you wanted us to communicate via this channel from now on. That suits me just fine, but I'd like some kind of sign from you to let me know you're still alive. Anyway... The item we discussed can be presented, if that's what you want. If not... Let's finalize the deal! I suggest a meeting on Corfu base in Omicron Theta. It's a bit more quiet than Freeport 9. Make a suggestion when you want to meet, and I'll see what we can do. Let me know if you have any objections to this.

Greetings Sir,

We met in Theta the other day, My Vessel [IND]Mystic had the pleasure of your company, albeit for a brief time. In response to your communique, I will send this as a confirmation of receipt, which should in no way be confused for anything other than what it is. Since you seemed concerned that your message would fall upon deaf ears, I'm responding to let you know that I have your message and will be passing up to the appropriate persons for a timely response. Of course, I cannot say when that will be, as it's not my call.

I appreciate your patience as you may have guessed, quite a few of the officers are currently out on holiday, and so it may take me a bit to ring all the bells. To that end, I'll close here and get busy so that your words will receive their due attention.

Regards,

Sasha.Castille

Greetings Mr. Rayburn,

Yes, we can finalize the deal with the verbally agreed upon sum. Of course meeting at Corfu for our transaction would be preferrable. As for a time? Well, with our busy schedules I think it would best to contact me via the S.K.Y.P.E protocol instead of the neuralnet. As the aforementioned protocol has very little delay in it's transmission time. So, if you would, please send me your S.K.Y.P.E. protocol address via the Neuralnet pm protocol so we can arrange a meeting that is mutual beneficial to both our busy schedules.

With Regards,

Jonathon Winchester III
President Pro-Tem
Independent Neuralnet Division

Howdy Mr. Winchester!

Nice to talk to you again! After our contact vie S.K.Y.P.E protocol, I made arrangements to transfer the codes. As agreed, we'll meet on Corfu base at the earliest convenience. So... when you're in the neighborhood... give me a shout, and we'll take care of it! I hope you've been able to sort out the mess that the recent ion storms caused you. From what I've heard, it's put IND in a tight spot. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know!

Rayburn out!
