I, Neil Cooperson of the Angelic Express, am placing a bounty, with heavy heart, on the unaffiliated pirate Tawn. He somehow managed to get his hands on a bomber. He did steal my money, which is a lesser crime in my opinion, than the one following: Lies, slander, and defamation of character. I work my ass off to make refugees safe, and he has the gall to spread the speculation of a slaver that I am one, when I move them to safe planets inside House space across Sirius. I cannot tolerate this, especially without proof.
In addition, he has an ego that needs popping. I even forgot his name after he stole from me, but by slandering my name, he has made this personal, and I am going to make sure that this man's ship is blown up for every refugee he potentially endangered with his shameless idiocy.
I am offering FIVE MILLION CREDITS per death for the Pirate TAWN. Those that can accept are any lawfully aligned freelancer pilots or mercenaries, or bounty hunters. In addition, corporate executives passing through who think that they can take Tawn on may try, and if they provide proof in the form of their reputation, they may collect.
I must have proof before I pay out. This bounty will be repeated indefinitely or until Tawn apologizes publicly. This bounty will be repeated a minimum of five times.
Thanks,
Neil Cooperson

Don't even bother sending the two million. Save it for the next guy. It's not really even worth the effort, but I happened to be going after this guy on contract with the Navy. Thought you might be reassured to know he's had his own misfortune.
Oh, and before you say I'm not part of the legal navy, police, or security forces.. I am under a contract with the Navy as one of their freelance pilots. Unfortunately for you, those navy, police, and security forces aren't even allowed to go after bounties. Regulations in their respective organizations and all..
Tip; Try upping the reward in the future. We mercenaries are busy people.. Why track down some nut for two million when you can work for the Navy and make three times that in an hour?
Ah, good to know that more than one person is out for his head. I'll take your advice into consideration, and broaden the range of those eligible for a reward, as well as increase the reward insofar as I can afford it.
Good hunting, Miss Foster.

It is convenient that Mrs. Foster did not include the fact that though she got the last hit, two Navy officers in Very Heavy Fighters (not pictured above) were the main cause of my ship's destruction at that time. Mrs. Foster was not sent after me, she was accompanying her Navy employers.
Any credit for the destruction (or indeed bounty) should be split with them, if Mrs. Foster would be kind enough to provide the names of her employers.
I believe you may also be confused about my ship, and perhaps about me. I pilot a "Roc" Civilian Bomber.
On a further note. It must be brought to Mr. Cooperson's attention that my... line of work.. is one fraught with peril and it is not uncommon for me to lose a ship. Replacing said ship and it's equipment costs me a lot less than 5 million credits. This bounty will not change that, and will only end up causing Mr. Cooperson financially.

anyone with half a brain can figure out that you got this all wrong Tawn flys a bomber not a gunship
and further more wheres the proof of what you accuse him of.
i suggest next time you get you're facts right.

Tawn, you're not very observant for a pirate.. The second Navy fighter broke off after your escorting gunships were destroyed, leaving myself and Christina Robinson after you. We both were the cause of the damage you suffered, not just one of us. Yes, I did get the last hit that sent your bomber into a cloud of smoke, but I was being contracted to make sure you and your buddies didn't manage to escape before we could take out your ships. I don't care about this bounty anyway, nor does the Navy, as you read in my last message.
Ah yes, now I remember. The other pilot did not return after the *blackout*.
No matter, I simply wanted to clarify that you were not the only pilot involved in my ship's destruction as was inferred by your original transmittion.

Greetings Mr. Cooperson,
I was patrolling the Pennsylvania System the other day when I ran into this Tawn fellow. At first I had no interest in him until I checked the bounty boards. I hired one of my colleagues to help me with him. I took some heavy damage so I had to fall out. My colleague informed me his vessel was destroyed and we agreed I would claim the bounty and we would split it.
I'll make sure to pay you, Mister Auxier. Then I'm afraid that I'm closing this bounty. This pirate isn't worth the rubber of my boots, much less 5 million, though your service was much appreciated.
Payment will be provided soon, with proof.
Thanks,
Neil Cooperson
