Good day, Silverstone,

What a twist of fate that I ended up sending you a communication regarding certain things you said earlier that might be of help to us. It seems I could've been mistaken about you, maybe you're not as useless nor as much of an annoying pest as I had made you up to be; and for that I apologize, hoping that you will continue to prove my initial assumption wrong.

I'll dive straight to the point, I'm sure you know what I'll be talking about. Lieutenant Wilkes sent me a report about certain claims you made regarding Auxesia, Xenos and the Freelancer Ridge cooperating with Nomads in order to meet various goals. You mentioned having visual proof of your claims; the Fifth Fleet is interested in the proof you have to provide us with, along with any other intelligence directly or indirectly connected with Auxesia.

Needless to say, sufficient monetary compensation will be provided for the intelligence you share, you have my word.

What say you?

Honestly, it is a bit sad that we... that I have to do something like that. We expected my naive trust in humans, loyalty and alike things to last a little longer this time. Apparently, instead it is going shorter and shorter with every passing instance. One may say that i am learning - but betrayal is clearly not something we want to learn and become cunning and proficient at. Enough of useless self-reflection, though. Since we've started it - we could as well go all the way down and see if hell makes us feel any warmer.

Find it useful. Or maybe find useless and fabricated. Use it well. Or maybe not use it at all. Get an excuse to burn that Abrams Research staion in Hudson F 4-5 down, along with anything that does not smell lawful enough. Or maybe cooperate with them - and see what comes out of it. We assume that You'll add one and one, make it two - and figure out the rest, somehow. Or not. We do not care any more.

We're expecting to see our thirty pieces of silver sometime soon.

Good day, Silverstone,

I'm going to skip the odd introductory speech and instead get straight to the point again. You will find that 30.000.000 S.C. have been forwarded to your vessel, Rusty.Old.Screw. The visual proof you have provided us with will be of great significance to the Fifth Fleet.

I thank you for the intelligence you forwarded and I will be looking forward to further 'discussions' with you in the future. It seems that you can be of some good use to the Republic. This communication window will remain open for the foreseeable future for any use that might be necessary.

With regards.

Awfully cooperative, are we? [Mainframe data storage uplink/downlink timeout reached. Please request resending expunged data if necessary.] A certain female someone wanted in Liberty for murder, or so i heared from the news, was found in Hudson. Oh-so-painfully slapping your poor scout's softer parts along with Xeeners, no less! We are not sure if that would be of any use, either - but here you have it. Welcome.
