"Dammit, Dis have you got that hacker ch.. oh, wait.. green board.."
Uh, hello, Moriarty? Is this thing on?
...
Malaclypse here, Moriarty. There is a huge favor you could do us sir. It of course has nothing to do with your purchase of those two Kushan scow.. uhh. Utility Vehicles, which are having the bloody orange trim touched up as we speak.
I have just learned that we are completely out of the new Digi-Prinicipias! It appears that Sophie Noir has been telling the Mollies that it was secretly written by James Joyce, and they've shagged every copy within parsecs.
Our "publisher" on Manhattan is currently out as well. I thought that since you blokes are conversant in all things digital, and most things proscribed, you might be able to come up with, say, 3500 copies or so to tide us over? If not, I believe "Dave's Dirty Books" on Rochester still has an ample supply. We will pay you 2 Million credits for this merchandise, FOB Sophie's ship, which will meet you at coordinates in Liberty space that I will transmit later.
Please advise if this is acceptable over any old frequency.. FnordNet monitors them all.
