[color=#FFCC00]Comm ID - Don Picaroon Diablo, Capo Crimini, Shadow Outcast Brigade, Blue Lotus Syndicate Target ID - Chief Hull O'Brian Subject:Potentially profitable arrangement
Greetings Amici,
You may or may not know who I am.
I am Picaroon Diablo, Capo Crimini of the SOB/BLS family. I come to you friend with an offer that will benefit both of us & make you a rich man.
You see, BLS ( Blue Lotus Syndicate ) is the largest Cardamine field owning & largest producer of Fine Quality Cardamine. And lets face it amici, Liberty is hooked on our fine product.
Now lets talk credits, each time one of your officers encounters one of my smugglers, it is costing you several credits. Paying the officer for his time, Buying a destroyed patrol fighter, or repairing it. Hiring & training new officers to replace those killed in action by my escorts, Or if you happen to capture the captain & crew, you have to pay to feed & house them in your prisons, sell them off on the slave market ( yes my friend, we know of this operation of yours) & eventually, they end up home anyway as we still buy slaves. You see my friend, it adds up. Sure now & then you catch one of my ships & damage or destroy it. But Our funds are limitless, It doesn't affect our bottom lines that much.
So then, how do we resolve this loss of profits & make you a wealthy man?
That my friend is the reason I contact you.
If LPI was willing to "Look the other way" when a BLS, SOB, or Cartel ship was to appear in Liberty loaded with Cardamine or slaves, BLS would be willing to make a "Donation" to your bank account.
Just name a price, I am sure we can make a deal.
Please do not attempt to trace the frequency of this transmission as our Hacker Friends have installed a trace bomb in it's transmitter & it will self destruct if a trace program is detected.
This line will remain open however & my Capo, Don Set Rameriz will be available to take your response & negotiate a deal if you so choose.
Hope to do business with you Amici.

You're well aware of the fact that, as a corporation, we're always up for making some off-the-books money.
Tell you what. For a sum of ten million per ship per month, payable to the LPI-Leavenworth, the [BLS] vessels don't exist.
HOWEVER. We can and will take on {SOB} craft if they're pirating in Liberty. Got to keep up appearances.
In addition, if we ever want to bother getting a Sabre or two, I trust you'd be able to lose one somewhere.
Recap:
-10.000.000 per [BLS] vessel
-We will engage {SOB} if pirating, so don't.
-I reserve the right to a Sabre or two at some point in time.
In exchange:
-[BLS] vessels don't exist for a month
-You can ask any LPI trade ship to ferry loads around, provided nobody's watching. I will not have any of my ships investigated by the LSF, as that could get messy. This would require a certain percentage to the Leavenworth again, however.
Give me a buzz if this will work, or if you want some tweaking.
Markey out
