Signal Origin- Kepler, Ames Research Station-HangarBay12 Communications Console-
Looking to arrange for an escort from Kepler to New London. 25 Million Credits for the run. Will need long range Intel and Hazards on the lane. I will also be looking to contract a few Freelancers for close in escort. Know one will know you are there but me.
Game?

Greetings... Ms. Singular, i suppose. My name is Felicity Willing, Interruptor from the ranks of the Lane Hackers, and i will speak straight: what is it so special about you for us to assign one of our assets, along with our sophisticated and most advanced technology to assist you in whatever you have in mind? Freelancers you are going to hire can't handle the similiar task?
Also, i would like to receive more information about the convoy:
What exact cargo you are going to have onboard?
What is your affiliation, and what are the intentions of this convoy?
What are the exact locations for the starting and the ending point of the convoy?
Who exactly - aside from Lane Hackers - have you directed similiar message to?
Until all those matters are clarified - no further conclusions will be made, however, i would consider having some serious arguments on your site, as so far your proposition doesn't look like as trustworthy.

Ms. Willing, I am a Freelancer, hired to do a job. That task involves moving a set of "Research Data" from Ames Station in Kepler to Southampton Shipyard in New London. This Data Set deals with the blue prints and construction of prototype weaponry for capitol ship classed vessels. Presumably to be used by the Bretonians against the invading Gallic forces. Lets face it, had we tried to move the Intel on the lanes without your assistance, you would have found out about it anyways. It is a case of "asking" for permission rather than begging for forgiveness if you get my gist. The Vessel that will carry this "Data Set" is an Anki class freighter built by the Renzu corporation. Transfer of this data will take place in stages, as it is much to valuable to move in one larger segment, so a number of trips will be have to arranged. No other agents or security providers have been contacted. The only thing special about me is the large sum of credits I have on hand to see this job to completion.
Thank you for clarifying the concerning matters, Ms. Singular. However, i would also like to know - who exactly have entrusted a Freelancer moving the data of significant value, containing blueprints of experimental weapons? In other words - who exactly have hired you, it is anything but an attempt to put your competence to a question, but an attempt to gather as much information as possible.
But, before we even consider assigning any efforts and assets towards the present cause - consider wiring a symbolic sum of 20.000.000 S.C. to Felicity:Willing, let us define this as a 'honest gesture of friendship' on your behalf.
The final conclusion will be done after i will receive the information regarding your contractor, should you try to trick us - consequences will be unpleasant.

You expect me to lift my skirt up, show you my goods and pay you at the same time?
The short story is this, I was onboard a Privately Owned station here in the Kepler system some months ago. For reasons I am not aware of, an Emergency Evacuation order was given. The transport I made it out on and on which the data was transferred to, had barely gotten out of the stations docking bay, before the station was absorbed by what I will call a "Dark Matter" anomaly. The ship and crew belong to a Libertonian individual who had dealings with the now disappeared station. He now leads a small Chartered group active in the war against the Gauls and it is he who has entrusted me to arrange for the security and transport of the "Data".
I will go one better than offer you cash. I have been authorized to provide you with 5 data files that give an overview of the information contained on the remaining 2300 files. The transfer of this "Data" will of course need to be done in person.
I have asked you straight and plain simple question: "who have hired you". Not asking for any weird stories about the stations, evacuations and Libertonians; also, i don't need to remind you that this is you are the one seeking our assistance, not vice versa.
However, you still have a positive impact on all of this: i will accept your data as a sign of contribution, in amount of ten units - you're not just hiring some random Freelancer to fly one lane ahead and tell you what is going on there, you are asking for the assistance of The Lane Hackers, possessing the most advanced equipment present in Sirius sector, the lack of common courtesy and denying our entirely justified conditions is not the way you are going to have us lending you a hand.
However, The Lane Hackers are women and men of flexible mind. You are to come to grid square 7B alone and with data onboard, on a ship with callsign you notify me about pre-emptively. Do not break any of those conditions, Ms. Singular.
