A request to the Liberty Rogues, regarding Cassini - From: The Ghostnet Hackers

Call me WhiteNoise. I lead a small group of Hackers that works out of Leiden, we call ourselves the Ghostnet. We specialize in the acquisition of high-tech goods, though we intend to maintain a diverse black market of our own. We don't think the Junkers provide good enough prices. Also, we want a cut.

To be direct, we want access to Cassini for all H:/ ships. This will primarily be used to supply your bases and shipyards, though due to our well-documented falling-out with the Hellfire Legion we may occasionally need access to a shipyard for quick repairs on our heavier transports. We field no heavy combat ships currently, though we are looking into an assortment of competing gunship designs as possibilities.

This also gives us easier access to some of our distributors on Freeport 14, and a safer run to Fort McMurray. Rutherford is far less dangerous to fly past than Severn.

Also, regardless of your answer to the above, we offer technical support. Several of our technicians brought civilian escort craft and cargo ships with them when they joined us, and have taught the rest of the Ghostnet how to repair them. So if your Rogues have any non-standard ships you need help with fixing, bring them over and we'll see what we can do.

Whitenoise is it? Well I ain't heard of you or your subdivision before an' we don't let outsiders into
Cassini without extremely good reason. Infact no hackers are currently permitted to enter there.
I'm troubled that you claim to know where our stations in the system are, all information
regarding the system is classified, especially the status of our supply inventories.

So to put it bluntly, no, we don't want to see your ships there. Any extra traffic there increases the
chance of it's discovery by other parties, who would be even less welcome there than yourselves.

I'd be disappointed, had I not already expected this. But it was worth the attempt.

To clear something up, though, I never claimed to know where or exactly what the bases are within Cassini, because I don't. But you have a shipyard somewhere. It's impossible for you not to, unless the Mollys are building all your gunships and the Junkers are doing all the maintenance on your transports. And I don't think you trust the Junkers enough for that.

Since none of the bases we can actually get to have sufficient facilities to build and properly maintain ships of that size, I'm left with the conclusion that this is done in Cassini. You could tell me I'm wrong, and I could say I believe you, but I'd rather be honest about the whole thing. I live at Leiden. I've seen the traffic.
