Cerulean.

I'm attaching the following contract on this channel. Target, money to be earned...etcetera. I'm sure you're familiar with this.

Contract-CLBN#001

Target: "Hawkins", Section 8 (|S8)
Contract Value: 10.000.000
Contract Type: Capture

Description:

"Hawkins has been nothing less of a thorn that needs to be taken out and thrown into the trash. Capture her - alive. Or don't, in which case I'd still like kill confirmation in the shape of her head. I would prefer this contract remains on the down-low. Any sensitive data is to be kept between the Company and myself.

P.S: A cloak disruptor will be your best friend."

Caliban,

I haven't got a lot to work with so far - things have been rather slow. These Order operatives are - unsurprisingly - a little elusive. However, there may be some light at the end of the tunnel; some tracks for us to follow. I, just now, bumped into a lovely - and somewhat talkative - Freelancer. She claims to work bounty hunting jobs for the Core, leading me to believe that perhaps she may have caught a glimpse of Hawkins. Now, I don't believe she has - I imagine Hawkins is more memorable than the person or persons she described (in lacking detail). She did mention Section Eight, however, which is a start. The operatives spotted may, after all, be potential candidates for our plan B.

I won't bore you with the details of our conversation, but I'll include a brief excerpt from my audio logs. Leaves a nice paper trail for the Company, too.

Kaufman-Lea :: Jan 834

[01:22:40] Lea.Kaufman: Last time I crossed the path of the Order was in the Omicrons, hunting nomads.
[01:22:50] Cerulean.Reaver: That is - allegedly - something they do, yes.
[01:23:10] Cerulean.Reaver: You don't happen to recall when and where this was? Catch a name or callsign?
[01:23:17] Cerulean.Reaver: Professional curiosity, remember.
[01:23:45] Lea.Kaufman: They were wearing the S8 tag. It was in Delta near the Freeport.
[01:23:59] Cerulean.Reaver: The what now?
[01:24:16] Lea.Kaufman: I don't know what it stands for.
[01:24:47] Cerulean.Reaver: I see, I see. "S Eight", yes? I'm not familiar myself.
[01:24:53] Cerulean.Reaver: Was this a long time ago?
[01:25:14] Lea.Kaufman: Pretty much.
[01:25:30] Lea.Kaufman: Perhaps you can meet them in the Omicrons if you ever go there.
[01:25:37] Cerulean.Reaver: Days, weeks, months; years?
[01:25:48] Lea.Kaufman: Days.
[01:25:59] Cerulean.Reaver: That's not a particularly long time ago, darling.

I'll keep you posted.

- Cerulean.

Cerulean.

Been a while. Look, this might be a bit hard on the eyes to look at. Might have to cancel the contract on this baby. Do you mind if we sort this one out in person?
