*The screen focuses in on what appears to be a laboratory, several white, robotic drones are moving around the room franticly, carrying pieces of machinery, bottles of various liquids and general lab epuipment. In front of a nearby bench a larger, more humanoid machine is conversing with one of the drones. The drone hands him a document which he quickly scans, before moving swiftly towards the camera. The camera focuses in on him as he begins to talk.*

Greetings guildmasters,
I am chief researcher of the ZoE and captain of the research vessel "Argyle". It is unlikely that you know much of me, if at all. I would introduce myself in more detail but there are more pressing matters to discuss. Thomas Mellows is currently busy with other matters and has given me authorisation to send this message on his behalf.

*He lifts the document upwards slightly and looks down at it.*

We have recently recieved word that a bounty on all zoner ships within the Omicrons has been issued. For your conveinience this document has been sent to you for reference.

Zoner ships operating in the Omicrons

This bounty is valid for BHG Core ID'd ships ONLY!
Capital ships MAY collect this bounty.
This bounty is NOT valid on [TAZ] ships., and currently is NOT valid in Theta.
Any Zoner Transport (only gunboats or smaller may collect) - 2 million credits
Any Zoner fighter (any ship may collect) - 1 million credits
Any Zoner Capital Ship (any ship may collect) - 2 million credits
Any Zoner Juggernaut (any ship may collect) - 4 million credits

All pilots claiming this bounty are to insure that they meet the requirements prior to attempting to claim this bounty.

We would like to ask what we have done to deserve this bounty.
We have no part in the ongoing conflict in the omicrons. Even if we wished too, we would have little to offer either side. Aside from our small security force and research division, we are simply miners.

This conflict has already cost the ZoE dearly. Our miners are spread thin, our security force is nearly non-existant and most of our contracts are now void. A bounty like this could cause enough harm that we may never recover.


We compel you to remove our corporation from this bounty or negotiate a solution with us. We will respond to any further transmission as soon as we are able.
