Because of these thefts, Consolidated has chosen to cease operations in Foxglove - but I refuse to go before making one final attempt at these bastards. > We've engaged the services of a private contractor, Captain Cartwright of [[ITC My Eyes Are Up Here, Asshole]]. She implemented a breadcrumb system that casts a small beacon off the ship at the moment of dive with the coordinates that are entered into the dive computer. On February 20th, [[ITC My Eyes Are Up Here, Asshole|Eyes]] was hijacked in Rebekkah. The breadcrumb left behind indicated coordinates a parsec north of the elliptic. > > We would like you to follow the breadcrumbs and find the nest of these pirates. We've enclosed the coordinates and the frequency required to trigger any subsequent breadcrumbs to wake up. > > Our commercials will be similar to last time: > - You will be paid the two week charter rate from your rate card, and additional two weeks for every breadcrumb in *Eyes'* trail > - Patrol and Investigation fee of 500k > - You will be paid 2MM for the safe return of Captain Cartwright and her crew. 150k for the return of their remains, if that is their fate > - Our insurer is offering 5MM for return of the [[ITC My Eyes Are Up Here, Asshole]] in serviceable condition > - If attacked: > - 1m hazard pay / resupply fee > - 500k corporate bounty for any spacecraft related to these thefts (with 100 dton or greater displacement mass) destroyed > - 100k bounty for any captured individual engaging in piracy of our convoy > - 500k for evidence of wrongdoing by a CEM employee, 1m if legally-admissible
