Yeah, it's been a very long time since we have crossed paths,. I am not even sure any of you are still alive.
For old times sake, we require your services yet again to track but this time retrieve a very important package.
It will require killing our enemies to retrieve our Lord Moka from the grasps of the local law enforcement, but the package must remain safe. Details are still developing, however as soon as we have something in place you'll get all the information.
If you get this and can assist, please respond as soon as possible.
Hank, Underboss to Lord Moka and the Moka's Loyalists

"Hank",
Boy, do I love receiving messages from the Rogues' cat herders. It's only been a year or three since the last one, too. Although I believe that one was sent by the big man himself, and not one of his pets. Admittedly, though, it's probably a little too difficult to send us a communiqué straight from whatever maximum security prison he's currently stuck in.
Anyhow, onto business. The Reavers have been dormant for a long time. A natural side-effect of growing rich, fat and - inevitably - lazy from years of fruitful mercenary work. If you want me to see if I can wake any of them up, you'll have to talk money first.
While you're at it, hit me up with those "details" that I assume you've "developed" by now.
As I can see, pleasantries between subordinates remains the same. Can't expect honor when there is nothing but money involved. Needless to say the Boss paid his bills, and if I recall you got all two point two billion of your bills paid out so rest assured we don't expect this job to be any different.
We're working on turning a senior guard to be sympathetic to our cause and leaving certain details out of the itinerary of Lord Moka's transfer. The aim is to intercept the convoy as the Lord is being transferred, however the guard is going to downplay the amount of security needed for the event. Hopefully, with a bit of luck we can get the convoy on the lane from Houston to the New York Gate. This is the longest segment of lanes on the way to where we suspect he is going. The aim is to take out the security ships and the senior guard, who will be piloting the prisoner ship, will follow us to Beaumont where we can transfer the Lord onto a secure Rogue ship and have him set down on Alcatraz until the heat dies down.
Now let's talk cash. Usually we'd pay you per ship downed however we need this particular ship intact and the package safe. As an incentive there is one hundred million for doing job, and a further one hundred million the moment our Lord is safe.
However, if you are too fat and lazy to do this, then perhaps our money is better spent elsewhere. I mean, the cops don't get paid a lot and two hundred million can turn the best of them. We'd just rather see dead cops over well paid cops.

"Hank",
The Company has been under my management for years, Hank. Unlike you, I do not lick the filth off of some underworld Lord's boots to make a living. The only subordinate in this conversation is you. Do me a favor and remember that in the future.
Your plan doesn't sound like a one-man job. If I have to split two hundred million between three or four Colors, that makes it practically charity work. However, if it gets their asses into gear, it may be worth the effort after all. And - I'll give you this - Moka himself has been a generous employer in the past. Perhaps there's more where that two hundred came from.
In short: we'll take the job. And, as your boss knows very well, that's the closest thing to a guarantee of success money can buy. Give me a date and time, and the Reaver Mercenary Company will be there.
Oh, and don't forget to transfer the up-front payment you promised.
