H- hey. So basically, here's what I can do. Y- you guessed right - I'm an int- tel person. Not the norm- mal infiltration st- stuff, though, normally. I'm m- more a... sc- scout-type intel pers- son. Sneak- king up to enem- mies (or j- just flying by th- them crazily) and listening int- to conversations, scanning st- stuff, getting inc- criminating evidence, calling in t- target coordinates and pinning th- them down for the big g- guns... that sort of thing.

That's not all I d- do, of course, but it's a big p- part of it. Like I said bef- fore, I can d- do some shooting on th- the side. I can get stuff th- that's kinda hard to g- get, too, 'long as it's n- not that drug and isn't g- gonna be used ag- gainst Bretonia or the GC or the D- Dragons or anyo- one I care about or anyth- thing. If y- you need a place for s- someone to hide, that's wh- what I'm best at - mak- king people hard to f- find. Not much c- call for th- that, though, and onl- ly works when they d- do like I say and d- don't go running around b- blabbering about wh- who they are. I'm a p- pretty good escort sc- scout, too. Only ev- ver lost one transp- port, and that was wh- while I was the l- lone escort and bus- sy distracting two b- bombers at once and c- couldn't go back t- to the conv- voy without risk- king them even further.

Lots of oth- ther stuff I can do too; I'm p- pretty variab- ble. Long as it's n- nothing bad and doesn't h- hurt anyone I c- care about, I can d- do it.

My b- basic int- tel contract - which most p- people hiring m- me take out, s- since it's pretty ch- cheap - involves me sc- scanning ships you w- want me to (other th- than like Bretonians and a- all, and peop- ple I like) and passing you the f- files. While I obv- viously can't tell you most of m- my big successes in th- that, the least conf- fidential is that t- time I got th- the Satsuma, just a c- couple months ago. Since y- you weren't subsc- cribed at the t- time, you'd h- have to buy that separately if y- you wanted it, b- but it's a good, low-level examp- ple of the kind of th- things I've uncov- vered. Price on th- the contract varies, depend- ding on what you want m- me to do and my situat- tion at the time, but it's n- normally just up-to-d- date maintenance and upg- grades and st- stuff on other st- stuff I get from y- you.

I g- generally leave a lot of st- stuff up to the client's disc- cretion, inc- cluding rewards. However, I'll g- give suggestions or make requests f- from time to time when I n- need something in partic- cular, and if I d- don't think you're paying me en- nough for the amount of w- work and important st- stuff I've gotten d- done for you, you'll lose the cont- tract.

Anyw- ways, that's the bas- sic spiel. Lemme know, mmkay?
