Great job by both of you, I love the news story, as well as the idea's listed above it!
I'll allow any trader to carry any cargo they wish, to include the "medicinal" marijuana", they will be under the protection of the mercenaries who escort the convoy. Im sure that SOMEBODY will be willing to carry the "stash", so I encourage it. This should make this event MUCH more interesting.
Im requesting the help of any volunteers to assist me with running this event, Im the only one right now, and a few more people will help a great deal. Please PM me or post here if you are willing to help. Also, I need to know which factions will be activly participating in the event, or at least post an "official" stance on the RP stories that are developing.
RP story:
In light of the recent warrant issued for his arrest, Dr. Tommy Chong, whose whereabouts are currently unknown has sent a letter to the CNS news room. The letter reads as follows:
Citizens of Sirius,
The Bretonian government's accusations of criminal involvement are false. I have never engaged in black market trade of synthetic marijuana. I flee Bretonia not because I am a criminal, but because I refuse to allow my research to be toyed with by government officials that plan to commercialize my work. This cannot happen. My work is for the good of all of sirius. Medicinal Marijuana holds the key to curing the plague that has killed millions on Planet Harris. I do not yet have a cure, but I am close. I vow to every one of you that when my research is complete, I will release all of my findings to the public. I will not make any money from this endeavor nor will anyone else.
-Dr. Tommy Chong"
It is unkown to anyone wether Dr. Chong is telling the truth. Many side with his plight, due to the Bretonian governments failure to present any solid evidence that would tie him to black market trade. When asked, the Bretonian Government refuses any comment on an ongoing investigation.
End CNS Newsflash.....
Elswhere in Sirius.....
"You're sure they dont know about anything right?"
"Yes...no one knows..."
"Very well, load the ship and have it ready to go, contact me when you are ready."
"Will do, the product is on its way now."
"Good, but remember, if you dont deliver it, we kill all of them."
"I'll do what you want, just dont hurt them"
"That depends on you my friend...do your job and they will be fine...."
