Esteemed members of the Secret Intelligence Service,
I have a request of a slightly urgent nature.
I need to secure the assistance of a certain organisation, one you could say is not usually among our list of friends, but one that had a specific skill set and shares a common goal with us.
Let's just say they're quite good at doing mischief using hacking skills.
I hope you get the drift.
Whether the SIS can introduce us, or if the service wishes for the request to be relayed through it, I leave to the SIS's better judgement. If the SIS cannot make the connection, I will try a different avenue.
Regards,
Commodore John Redmond

Commodore,
No need to beat around the bush in a secure communication, Commodore. The SIS would be happy to serve as a middleman between the BAF and the Lane Hackers. We'll need details if we're to open a dialog, though. What are you needing from them, and what are you prepared to give them in return? Keep in mind that the Lane Hackers can be difficult to deal with at the best of times, and I'm sure they'll try to extract a high price in return for any assistance. Particularly if they think the request is urgent.
In Her Majesty's Service,
Lady Sarah Mountbatten, Director

Director Mountbatten,
I love to beat bushes what can I say.
Let's just say I've been hard at work thinking of ways to hurt Gallia.
My request is somewhat tricky, but I think it may be in itself a reward for the Hackers, though that is up to them.
We're still in the planning stages, but I desire large quantities of counterfeit software and data, but completely riddled with all kinds of malware, malware that connects data back to us, be created by the Hackers, for it to be transported to Gallia, the Maquis bases there I have in mind. The Maquis will then distribute this content amongst the general populace, after which I hope we will gain valuable intel on our Gallic foe, and in the most favourable of outcomes, be able to hack into core systems and wreck economic havoc in Gallia.
it may just end up with Spacebook profile data, but it's better than nothing, who knows who will be tempted by the content on offer.
The reward is the Hackers will have this data too, for their own aims, and we can also pay them for the costs in creating this illicit software. Also we will be hurting Gallia, which I understand is aligned with their aims too.
For practicality sake, Hackers will deliver the goods to Foster base in Kepler, and Junkers will ferry it to Denver, where our transports can take it to Gallia. Naturally Hackers are free to take it from their base directly to Gallia if they are so inclined. If they do wish to get involved, they are free to bring Gallic fugitives to Omega 49, where I intend to house them, and of course Dueterium will provide a lucrative good to take back to Liberty.
This matter is being debated in government, so if you require further details, please inquire internally neither your government representative.
