Nice job. That there provides a very, -very- clear image. Something I can use. You and your guys don't take this stuff for granted, i'll tell you that! Next time i'm in the neighbourhood, the drinks are on me.

Greetings Scratch,
The Vulpes gets around, doesn't it?
*Jonathan laughs heartily as he pulls out a datapad*
This talk was initiated near the Survey Vessel Armstrong, on Yuma's orbit, Coronado system. Don't know if it's THAT important, but I haven't seen that reported by anyone else. Might be wrong though, but I really don't know.
*Jonathan laughs again*
Until next we meet!
Respectfully yours,
Jonathan Cook

Greetings, Scratch,
Yet ANOTHER good scoop for you, this time out of California! My little brother was minding his business, bringing in supplies to a Liberty base, when the lane from the New York Jump Gate to Mojave was cut. Imagine his surprise when the interloper was none other than a certified member of the Libery Navy, in a Battlecruiser, of all ships!
It's sad to see an institution such as the Liberty Navy fall down to such a level of... heck, I don't even have a word for it! It's frankly sad, it is.
Unless of course this isn't plain idiocy, but in fact a deliberate act. Time will tell perhaps, but a Battlecruiser attacking one of his own lanes is, at the least, disturbing, and something worth diggin' up, I presume.
As always, discretion is required. My brother needs his anonymity.
Dearly yours,
Jonathan Cook

Greetings Scratch,
I'll be quick and blunt. We need to establish an insanely more secure private commlink for the next message I have for you. The information I got my hands on is so delicate it could affect a Sirius-wide balance of power, and I am NOT exxagerating. Please, contact me through a secure channel (preferably, with a quadruple-backed firewall and an encryption code of HELLFIRE or better) AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
Sincerely yours,
Jonathan Cook

Mr Cook, I'm not sure if you've noticed, but I always run my transmissions through a thoroughly encripted feed. From the Radio One, the ship was originally designed for such things. Invisibility. And I always keep my feeds secured. Especially for something like this, because if I didn't, well, anonymity would be useless.
So feel free to send whatever on this channel...it's impenetrable.
However, should you want to create another channel just for safety, feel free.

Greetings, Scratch,
I'll take your word for it. Nonetheless, I will reinforce the encryption on my side.
Ok, now, I'm sure you've heard about the mercenary attacks on IMG and Kruger in Omega-7. Now, right when everyone believed that a third party was trying to instigate a conflict between these two companies, one of our transports (whose name shall remain unnuttered) came across this pearl:
Now, I've a special request for this one. I already talked this over with the injured party, and they agreed for me to tell you about the IMG's treachery. My friend: spread the word, and let justice be done!
I'll await your response.
Sincerely yours,
Jonathan Cook
