Comm ID: Codename "Blubba"
To: All known participants in the Artefact Trade

Honourable fellow businessmen, with tightening security in Bretonia and Liberty, and with ever increasing demand for our wares; Alien Artefacts, in the House capitals, both I and a number of my associates feel it may be necessary for communications between participants in our honourable trade to begin.
It has been many years since the days of Sean Ashcroft the First, one of the pioneers of our business, and today we are no longer welcomed by many criminal elements in territories such as Liberty. What's more, the LSF and Bretonian Armed Forces have stepped up their patrols along known smuggling routes in an attempt to suffocate our business and block the flow of our merchandise into the House capitals.
The hostility of the Outcasts to our trade is well known, and over the years of indoctrination of Liberty criminal groups by the outcasts, and the lack of organisation within our trade, elements of the Lane Hackers and Liberty Rogues now look upon us with disdain.

However, my friends, despite increased hostility along our routes, the days of hardship may be coming to an end.
Recently, one of my associates received word that the Lane Hackers may begin supporting our business again in exchange for restocking and financial support. I am sure that if a deal can be brokered with the Lane Hackers, the Liberty Rogues may well follow suit and enter negotations regarding their own slice in our trade.
In short, my friends, if we stand together, we may find that Liberty will become a much friendlier place than it has been in the past.

As smugglers, we have no love for the corrupt organisations of the Houses, and I for one would be happy to pledge financial and logistical support (in the form of occasional supply shipments) to organisations such as the Lane Hackers, particularly if it meant that my business would be made easier as a result.


However, honourable friends, in order for the entire Artifact Trade to benefit from any kind of arrangement with criminal organisations in Liberty and elsewhere, we must enter negotiations together, as a whole, and reap the rewards together.
This is one of the main reasons we have had this channel set up.

• Messages in this channel should be encrypted so as not to compromise whereabouts, identities etcetera.
  
• Do not give away key details in this channel unless you are confident in your encryption software.
  
• For the sake of negotiations, representatives from criminal factions may be given a comm-frequency to send messages which will be forwarded vire this channel to you all. They will not, however, be able to monitor communications here.
  

With that out of the way, I will draw this message to a close.

May we prosper.
Codename; Blubba.
