<strike>A group bearing the tag [ToP] has initiated hostilities against the Junker Congress while making the claim to Captain Elijah Tallwood that they intend to frame Junkers for the illegal acts committed by their members. This will not be tolerated. They have been banned from docking at all Junker bases.
In addition, I want them out of my misery completely. The Junker Congress will pay 8 million Sirius credits for every [ToP] Vessel that is destroyed. So far they all appear to be flying pirate transport vessels, though after this they may be employing escorts as well..</strike>

Our men asked around about these guys. Apparently ToP is a subdivision of a much larger group. The other subdivision would be TiP. Want those down as well?
Addendum: apparently we have been mislead. Turns out that even the most trustworthy men are not that trustworthy after all. There is no real evidence to suggest that TiP and ToP are related. We will keep asking around, though. I apologize for the inconvenince. Chris would be sorry as well, but he is currently "incapacitated".
Bret: Hey Jack...How's life goin for yah?...I saw this and wondered if you wouldn't mind myself and the gang to take a crack or two at these guys...How about it?...

Simon: Since I'm a bit lacking as far as intel on this group, anything you can provide will be appreciated.
Bret: We've had our differences, but I won't rob you of you're fun or your profit here'¦.have at it.
Izzy: I don't currently know where they operate except for outside Rochester which is about to change. Aside from that, if you have the proper credentials to keep you out of trouble and don't mind getting your hands dirty as a freelancer, then I don't mind either.
A video transmission from an unknown, likely tampered, source is received and begins playing. A young Bretonian woman whom Jack may find quite familiar appears on the screen surrounded by equally recognisable Kusarian crew members.
You sound like you could use some help, sweetie. I remember running over one or two of the people you're after in Gallileo. They were tearing apart Kusarian trade ships on the lanes using the dark matter clouds as a choke point.
As a sign that I am willing to put the past into the past, I'd like to offer the assistance of the McDowell Company. We have significant operations in the Galileo / Kepler region and I'd be happy to put some of my firepower to use to your benefit.
I will also endeavour to learn as much about these people as I can. I think we are both fully aware of my "information"... "gathering"... "abilities"... and I hope you see value in it being used for you rather than against you.
You know where to find me.
The video terminates leaving only static on the screen.
