The Farmer's Alliance bounty has been rescinded. It seems the mysterious A.D.M.I.N. organization has stumbled upon the transactional irregularities and true reasoning behind this contract we have been speculating.
In light of this vindicating turn of events, we should move on. Craft can be rebuilt or repurchased. Our goals remain the same. There is no profit or advancement in vendettas.
However, those of you who wish to get your hands dirty will be pleased by my next statement:
There have been reports of Hogosha and Farmers Alliance performing hit-and-run privateering raids in Bretonia, to aid the Kusari war effort. While we take no true stock in this war between houses, these raids provide opportunity to strike the gangsters where they are indefensible.
This also gives us visibility in Bretonia for reasons other than our usual habits. These habits have placed us under tight scrutiny which we can not afford. Killing two birds with one stone by striking at the Kusari gangster attack wings and 'aiding' the beleaguered Bretonian home guard flotillas will benefit us greatly.
Be wary however. They are aided on one hand by the Kusari Naval Forces, and on the other by the Gaians and Corsairs. No targets other than Hogosha and Farmers' Alliance vessels are to be engaged under any circumstances. Evasion is a valid self-defense tactic, and the preferred method of dealing with non-valid target vessels should they open fire.
We must play this diplomatically. I have faith in your ability to do so.
