Greetings, champions of the Rheinland Unions.
I am Brutus Clay, Professor of the Lane Hackers, and I have an unusual proposition for you.

The fight for the liberation of Rheinland's workers is a hard one I'm sure, and it must be taking quite a toll on you and your pilots. Have you ever thought about broadening your horizons, all the while enjoying a bit of relaxation? And what if I told you there was a large pile of cash in it as well?

That is, in essence, the subject of this message. It has come to my attention that the Hogosha are trying to break into the snubcraft racing game, by building and operating a track in the Tottori system.
I intend to take part, and I hope at least a few of your pilots will too. This will also be a good occasion to meet in the flesh and discuss about certain matters pertaining to the future of both our organizations.

Here are the rules, as were laid out to me by the Director of the Hogosha Racing Syndicate:

Rules

Any fighter-class vessel is permitted to compete.
Any faction is permitted to compete, including hostile factions provided they do not show their hostilities prior to or following the race.
An event may be a single race or a series of races dependent on the levels of interest and audience at that time.
Cruise disruptors, countermeasures, mines, guns and contact are permitted throughout the course.
Entry to the event is at the competitors' own risk
If your vessel is heavily damaged, the Suzuka station has facilities to perform repairs between races. This requires docking authorisation and applicable fees.
Access to the course is not permitted outside of the event without the authorisation of a HRS representative
The winner of the event is awarded 50,000,000 credits

I impatiently await your answer.

Any deliberate or otherwise location triangulation method successfully employed against anonymous transmissions will receive either a one billion credit reward or immediate incarceration dependent upon disclosure and motive. The revanchist council requests that Arbeiters do not squander valuable neuralnet bandwith on the consumption of CNS articles, adult content, or gambling, and advise that the relevant arbeiters employ public terminals for such use, rather than the secure line. Communal enforcement may differ between Reichsarbeitergesellschaft der Alsterian and Landwirtrechbewegung cells. Consult your admin for technical support or contact your resident Neural Technology Help Specialist at www.totallypacifica@notAHacker.net. The Union reminds Arbeiters that "trolling" is not an acceptable standard of political debate, unless aimed at capitalists, fascists, militarists, etc, who lack the neurological prerequisites to engage in such discourse. Southern Unioners are encouraged to remember that the average Unioner's literary age is roughly analogous to a twelve year old on PCP, and are encouraged to avoid engaging in difficult subjects, and are suggested to stick to familiar subjects, such as the market value of cardamine, bundschuh-based footwear puns, and the general terrible quality of life aboard wedel mining station.

Have a glorious day, Comrade user. - Unity, your resident Neuralnet VI.

"I like a guy confident enough to drink on camera."

“Ya' don't need to be that impatient. Dangerous spacecraft performance tests in barely-legal deathraces is like the intersectionality of at least five seperate Unioner pastimes. Couple gambling, alcohol, and performance enhancing drugs, and you've got an earner for a few hundred mill', cash in hand.' "

"We get that you're probably pumped up about the data-crunching spacecraft-buckling morass of architectural data that is spaceracing. We are, too. It's not just rec'and'relaxtion for us. I recently did a circuit around Dublin myself - qualified to the finals."

"We're close friends of the Hogs. That racecourse is the stuff of legends."

"As for the future, you're telling us. Usually we'd keep our allies full-briefed, but this goes to the above-and-beyond. Read the news in a couple of days."

"Pleasure to be working with you, Clay. I guess you're as down-to-earth as your name."
