Alright folks, I've found something interesting...
I was poking around Omicron Xi looking for the usual artifact smugglers, and i was successful finding one for once jumping to Munich, i hoped everything would move along as it should... y'know, get some info on their contacts, routes, the usual talk i go around with. Unfortunately some captain with higher crew numbers than brain cells had to show up in one of those ugly Bismarck battleships and scare the smuggler away, so i had to get things rushed someplace else in Munich with that fella. And this ain't even the interesting part by the way, now comes the good stuff. One of those fancy Rheinland Intelligence snubcrafts shows up out of nowhere, probably lurking around the whole time while using a cloak or something, interrupting my f*cking deals yet again. So i just end the chat with the smugglers and let them keep movin'. Expected the intel pilot to just do what they usually do, shooting around like monkeys with little care about involved parties and civilized debate, but far from true... Instead the pilot offered a deal to our respectable team!
Basically they started talking about Bretonian diplomats and politicians moving the threads in Rheinland to ensure the Imperial government in Rheinland stays that way, which the intel agent didn't like, and then said that if we can get things messy in Omegas with whatever convoy moving Bretonian diplomats into Rheinland, the Buro can reward our effort, and not with just cash.
I'll post some logs later about the chit-chat, you guys tell me what you think, i personally think it's worth a try, we already cause a mess around the place without need of someone asking us to, so this may be a plus.

[26.12.2022 11:46:09] HRZ~Dragonfly: In a Pitbull and escortless, how reckless.
[26.12.2022 11:46:25] HRZ~Dragonfly: Frankfurt? Who buys four thousand relics at Frankfurt?
[26.12.2022 11:46:32] Pages: Well, considering we have an agreement I don't need escorts do I?
[26.12.2022 11:46:41] Pages: Oh many people do.
[26.12.2022 11:46:43] HRZ~Dragonfly: Agreement with who exactly?
[26.12.2022 11:47:03] Pages: There's a saying, there's honor among thieves.
[26.12.2022 11:47:26] HRZ~Dragonfly: Depends, but you ain't much of a thief.
[26.12.2022 11:47:38] Pages: I'm flying a pirate train.
[26.12.2022 11:47:45] Pages: Hello?
[26.12.2022 11:47:57] HRZ~Dragonfly: I can see that, yes, a lot of insane smugglers do that, but not privateers.
[26.12.2022 11:47:57] Pages: Oh it's the Military!
[26.12.2022 11:48:12] HRZ~Dragonfly: Don't worry, it's a battleship, can't do sh*t.
[26.12.2022 11:48:22] KKS-EDISON-TRENT: k: hi capitans
[26.12.2022 11:48:22] Pages: Not worried about you dumbass.
[26.12.2022 11:48:34] Pages: Not letting it get close to me!
[26.12.2022 11:49:00] HRZ~Dragonfly: Guess some moron has to interrupt, as usual.
[26.12.2022 11:49:15] HRZ~Dragonfly: Alright buddy, tell you what.
[26.12.2022 11:49:20] Pages: Well, this is their turf.
[26.12.2022 11:49:22] HRZ~Dragonfly: We can make a deal.
[26.12.2022 11:49:29] Pages: Another deal, oh boy.[color=#FFFFFF]
[26.12.2022 11:49:51] Pages: Dark beard man won't be happy.
[26.12.2022 11:50:03] HRZ~Dragonfly: We usually just tax reckless transports and smugglers, but i like to offer better deals.
[26.12.2022 11:50:16] Pages: I'm all ears.
[26.12.2022 11:50:50] HRZ~Dragonfly: So, you could pay four millions now, and be your way, or pay eight, and i can escort you around.
[26.12.2022 11:50:58] Sol-[Fae: Well, if this isn't most peculiar.
[26.12.2022 11:51:03] Pages: Oh boy.
[26.12.2022 11:51:06] Pages: More people.
[26.12.2022 11:51:19] HRZ~Dragonfly: Great, another moron...
[26.12.2022 11:51:20] Sol-[Fae: Care to elaborate this little commotion?
[26.12.2022 11:51:29] Pages: Uh, I had no choice in all of this.
[26.12.2022 11:51:32] Sol-[Fae: A moron? How rude.
[26.12.2022 11:51:49] HRZ~Dragonfly: Yeah i don't take folk interrupting around too kind.
[26.12.2022 11:51:51] [2022-12-26] 11:52:00 You have received 4.000.000 credits from Pages
[26.12.2022 11:52:00] Pages: Can I... go now?
[26.12.2022 11:52:04] HRZ~Dragonfly: Specially glowies in cloaks.
[26.12.2022 11:52:11] Sol-[Fae: Do whatever you fancy, I don't care.
[26.12.2022 11:52:17] HRZ~Dragonfly: I won't stop you, but this guy over here may.
[26.12.2022 11:52:24] Pages: I've already paid my due.
[26.12.2022 11:52:24] Sol-[Fae: You're the Military's problem, not mine.
[26.12.2022 11:52:45] HRZ~Dragonfly: Ah, how polite of smugglers to carry an intel transponder.
[26.12.2022 11:52:50] Sol-[Fae: You, however.
[26.12.2022 11:53:08] HRZ~Dragonfly: What about me?
[26.12.2022 11:53:09] Sol-[Fae: You've got a law enforcement pilot in your hold.
[26.12.2022 11:53:19] Sol-[Fae: Hand them over.
[26.12.2022 11:53:21] HRZ~Dragonfly: Ah yes, he was being a nuisance.
[26.12.2022 11:53:24] OK, jettisoned 1 item(s)
[26.12.2022 11:53:26] HRZ~Dragonfly: All yours.
[26.12.2022 11:53:36] Sol-[Fae: I'll, m-hm. Make sure they're a nuisance elsewhere.
[26.12.2022 11:54:02] HRZ~Dragonfly: You again?
[26.12.2022 11:54:09] HRZ~Dragonfly: Get lost, asshole.
[26.12.2022 11:54:25] HRZ~Dragonfly: Do shoot some sairs or somethin'.
[26.12.2022 11:54:47] Sol-[Fae: I did, why do you think there's so few of them?
[26.12.2022 11:55:15] HRZ~Dragonfly: Nah, not you, the captain of that big-ugly-thing that keeps poking his nose where it doesn't belong.
[26.12.2022 11:55:29] Sol-[Fae: Have not seen the lot with your transponders around here yet, care to share a bit on it?
[26.12.2022 11:56:07] HRZ~Dragonfly: We? We're just a group of folk going around the place in the Omegas and whatnot, doing our things.
[26.12.2022 11:56:46] Sol-[Fae: I'm sure it's nothing illicit and meaning ill to Rheinland.
[26.12.2022 11:56:56] Sol-[Fae: Tell me, though...
[26.12.2022 11:57:03] Sol-[Fae: Do you fancy a little job on the side?
[26.12.2022 11:57:23] HRZ~Dragonfly: Usually we don't get to meet too much Rheinland transports around, Hessians deal with them.
[26.12.2022 11:57:31] HRZ~Dragonfly: That would depend on the job.
[26.12.2022 11:58:15] Sol-[Fae: Let's say... I have a certain concern related to the nearby neighboring House.
[26.12.2022 11:58:39] HRZ~Dragonfly: I would expect as much from intel agencies, yeah. What about it?
[26.12.2022 11:58:52] Sol-[Fae: I suspect they're discreetly paying visits to the Imperial family around here in Rheinland, and moreso...
[26.12.2022 11:59:05] HRZ~Dragonfly: Who exactly? Liberty?
[26.12.2022 11:59:12] Sol-[Fae: ...pledge their support to these old hags and geezers.
[26.12.2022 11:59:19] 2022-12-26 11:59:28 SMT Traffic control alert: KKS-EDISON-TRENT has requested to dock
[26.12.2022 11:59:29] Sol-[Fae: I beg you. Liberty has no interest in Rheinland staying Imperial.
[26.12.2022 11:59:32] Sol-[Fae: It's Bretonia.
[26.12.2022 11:59:49] HRZ~Dragonfly: Right...
[26.12.2022 12:00:18] Sol-[Fae: If you get a chance and run into one of their diplomatic mission convoys - try causing as much chaos among it as you possibly-
[26.12.2022 12:00:20] Sol-[Fae: -can.
[26.12.2022 12:00:40] Sol-[Fae: I'll compensate you for simply crossing their path.
[26.12.2022 12:00:49] Sol-[Fae: Turning them around, too, will pay extra.
[26.12.2022 12:00:56] HRZ~Dragonfly: Right, is there something important they may be hauling.
[26.12.2022 12:01:32] HRZ~Dragonfly: My god this guy...
[26.12.2022 12:01:37] Sol-[Fae: Their diplomats, or anything of the sort. People, perhaps some supplies discreetly aboard.
[26.12.2022 12:01:51] HRZ~Dragonfly: Anything you wanna take from it?
[26.12.2022 12:02:06] RNC-EDISON-TRENT: u told something
[26.12.2022 12:02:25] Sol-[Fae: Perhaps a man or two for interrogation. Sell the rest to Hessians, or wherever you wish, for all I care.
[26.12.2022 12:02:45] HRZ~Dragonfly: Right... We may be able to do something about it.
[26.12.2022 12:02:56] RNC-EDISON-TRENT: so wait there
[26.12.2022 12:04:56] Sol-[Fae: Agreed. See me in 15.
[26.12.2022 12:10:22] HRZ~Dragonfly: So what was the deal exactly?
[26.12.2022 12:10:41] Changing screen mode=windowed
[26.12.2022 12:10:57] Sol-[Fae: You intercept and damage the incoming diplomatic traffic from Bretonia to Rheinland.
[26.12.2022 12:10:58] Changing screen mode=full
[26.12.2022 12:11:13] Sol-[Fae: Of course, they may not always go directly to the Imperial family but that does not matter.
[26.12.2022 12:11:38] Sol-[Fae: You shouldn't necessarily engage in a full-blown clash, just... cause as much damage as you may, and bail.
[26.12.2022 12:11:43] HRZ~Dragonfly: Right, and catch some of those diplomatics for interrogation?
[26.12.2022 12:11:52] Sol-[Fae: Optionally, if you can.
[26.12.2022 12:12:04] HRZ~Dragonfly: Alright... It may be worth the try...
[26.12.2022 12:12:10] Sol-[Fae: But I'm fine with them ending their life in space.
[26.12.2022 12:12:15] Changing screen mode=windowed
[26.12.2022 12:12:28] Sol-[Fae: I'll leave the choice on how you wish to be compensated to you as well.
[26.12.2022 12:12:57] Sol-[Fae: It shouldn't necessarily be credits - Buro's well capable of dumping a load of what you want, where you want.
[26.12.2022 12:13:02] HRZ~Dragonfly: Yeah, we can be creative about rewards as well...
