Very good. You are a true businessman. So please allow me to tell you how this business works. You tell me in a very very short summary the content and I tell you if we are interested in the intel. Because if we are not, like the UN recruitment one, why would we pay for it?
Thankfully this one is looking good so I am not turning it down. Please provide any logs or evidence you have surrounding this situation. So that all this is not just a bedtime story.
Needless to say, all this is covered with a Non-Disclosure Agreement, we are not allowed to share anything related to your revelations with a third party.

ID:Cordelia Lyell Location:Durban Station, Omicron Rho Subject:A Rat's Service ENCRYPTION:INVINCIBLE
Good evening, Rat,
I am Cordelia Lyell, Guildkeeper of the Core and, yes, the shared names were indeed no coincidence; you spoke to my husband. Suffice it to say that his recount of the meeting with you was quite the quaint story to behold. Before you listen any further, I should tell you that this message will delete itself after you have played it once, so listen carefully.
In a way, I am not sure how to deal with you — after all, you are but a stranger that offered his services to us, be they of a layman's nature or not remains to be demonstrated. However, I do tend to always look for people who would be able to do things for me and not question the whys and wherefores. You may not have my interest, but you do have my attention for this exact reason.
There are two things that I could ask of you and one thing that I would like you to do, but am almost certain you would refuse. The first one would be menial work for a little vanity project of mine, which would simply entail fetching some hard-to-reach items, but I am sure a man that prides himself with being able to fit in anywhere would scoff at such an insulting waste of his time — am I right, Rat?
So, instead, I would like to put something in the possession of the Order Overwatch. Do you know what Hydrogen Cyanide, or Prussic Acid is, Rat? If not, that is just all the better. Suffice it to say that it is a very poisonous substance that is used in mining operations for the process of electroplating. In other words: I want them to want it. I will task you to get into contact with an agent of the Overwatch and record them saying that they hire you to procure this substance in large quantities for them. I care not how you do it. Afterwards, you will send any evidence of this, how they hired you and that you delivered it, to me over a secured channel. Be sure to encrypt the data package containing the evidence again and give me the encryption key seperately.
The third thing is a bit delicate in nature. It is a simple courier's work, but given the recipient, I am unsure about its danger level. Simply put: If you ever meet the Nomad with the designation Ishtar, I want you to say the following words to it: "Cordelia Lyell of the Core wants to have a word with you in private."
Regarding payment: I am quite rich, especially since I made a rather lucrative in the last days and therefore I am quite open to any sort of compensation you may require as long as it remains within reason and within the boundaries of physical reality.
That would be all. Let's see if you can catch my interest.
You know how business is done. Don't worry about the encrypted parts or the confidentiality, you know we have a legendary reputation to uphold. And we already do so for decades... If we are naughty then we will run out of customers. And fast.
Please proceed to Leiden Base in order to pick up the upgraded software for your ship. In the package there are two more storage chips, each one will establish a remote connection with the same ID. Just plug them into a computer, the virus will take it from there. Just be careful with your choices because the storage chips will be useless after they are used.
That would be all, Jimmy. I hope we will hear from you again in the future.
Oh dear, that's the most muzzled response I've heard in a while. Our technicians in Leiden prepared two storage chips for remote access instead of one as you requested and even made the virus to auto-run without any outside assistance that even Colonials can figure out how to do it (it's still too much to ask from Xenos) but they lost heart when I told them about your message.
Are you a low-energy person, Jimmy?
Perhaps you can show your appreciation and good business skills one more time by arriving to pick up the package with a delivery of Blood Diamonds. It won't go unnoticed by our boys and our commodity dealer will offer a very generous price for your cargo. Of course that's entirely optional, Mr Rat.

Muzzled? Na, you guys just supplied me with the last piece of a huge project, I'm talkin' a real game changer here. I wanted to get the ball rollin' right away, so yeah I didn't give the proper respects but I'll bring those Blood Diamonds as amends yeah?
See me and the Pack, we're plannin' to pull a bit of the blackmarket right out from under those snoozin' Junkers and your software is the key. Imagine bein' able to order anythin' from across the sector without anyone knowin', those who deliver don't know who they're workin' for and those orderin' don't know whose deliverin'. Pretty sweet right? And that ain't even the best part.
All the money, all the jobs, all the names work directly through the Rat Pack. So if the Professorship keeps up the good deals, we can supply you with all the info you could dream of.
