Greetings, Lane Hackers. Recently, your lovely offer on the heads of Bounty Hunters has made me quite a rich man indeed. It is impossible to not notice the severe drop in Bounty Hunter activity within Liberty, which is directly correlated to the aforementioned bounty. It is serving its purpose well, as you can see.
However, I am here for an entirely different purpose. I request the use of one Lane Hacker Transponder signal, as to identify my friendly relations with the Hackers. This will also serve the purpose of informing Hunters who is responsible for their deaths, as many simply refuse to accept that there is a bounty on them.
The mounting of the transponder will be only a temporary one, as when our contract expires, I will remove it.
Concerning the weapons systems on my ship:
The belief that I have friendly relations with the Corsairs is utterly and entirely false. The four pulse cannons mounted on my ship have been acquired through the destruction of two Praetorian vessels, and have been refurbished to fit my ship by nefarious means. This is a discussion for another time, however, and may be elaborated upon if requested.
