Greetings, Senor Espada! Straright to the point: you are aware of my smuggling operations for the benefit of the Outcasts, two weeks ago I had the pleasure of being accompanied by you on the way to Corsica Shipyard with a cargo of first-class Light Arms. Unfortunately, this supply chain has been compromised due to pirate activity in the Tau-23 system. Specifically, by a vessel called "The_Buccaneer". I ask you to help eliminate the threat, as it also affects the supply of Cardamine through the same system. I assure you, I will not offend with low remuneration any brave man, especially such as you, Senor Espada. Hasta la vista.

Salve, mi amico.
Your message reaches me at an opportune time. The insult of this pirate, "The_Buccaneer", does not go unnoticed. To threaten our operazioni in Tau-23? He signs his own death warrant. Fear not — HS>Aquila, which is "Storta", is already en route to Tau-23. I will hunt, I will find, and I will erase this fool from the void. Niente misericordia. The skies will burn, and his wreck will serve as a warning to others who dare interfere with our business. As for compensazione — per favore, do not insult me by thinking I would let this slide without reparation. You will be compensated, in blood and credits. The Outcasts do not forget their friends nor their enemies.
Stay sharp, amico. The next shipment will arrive unmolested, or the Aquila will have failed — and that does not happen.
Fino alla morte.
Post Scriptum. Use the encrypted channel frequenza 47.3, codice "Sangue Nero" to call in our brothers. The Aquila is already hunting, but if more blades are needed... bene. The Fleet answers.
This may sound servile, but I didn't expect such an answer. You are very sensitive to the problems of an ordinary person like me. I am also grateful for the compensation and will use it to reward the crew, who had to go through difficult moments in their lives because of that pirate. In case of danger, I will contact Aquila immediately, although I already feel your attention to Tau-23: I have not been bothered by any advenedizo for a week.
I realized that you don't need money as a recognition of your merits. Therefore, I will share information about another smuggler, a vessel called “St.Goarshausen”. My scanners have found that Nox is present among his goods. Perhaps the ship's captain wouldn't mind hauling Cardamine instead of Nox, especially if threat him with leaking information to Daumann's head office. I am convinced that he will agree. As my signalman says, "Once a smuggler, always a smuggler.". Let me know if this kind of information is useful, I am ready to provide it to you for such reliable protection of our cooperation, or tell me how best I can strengthen our partnership.
