*The video appears blacked out at first, a light in turned on and a hooded man appears, his face darked and unidentifiable in the dim light.*

"Sorry for all the subterfuge, I hope you understand that one cannot make waves without knowing
that someone is undoubtable trying to stop the waves.
I for one, have a lot of enemies and so I cannot join you in an open communications channel.
But, I'm sure you don't want to hear about the people trying to kill me. Onto business."

*The man shifts and readjusts the camera slightly; his face still a mystery.*

"For security and personal reasons; the alias "Mengsk" will suffice. As you are probably well aware I have extensive experience in hacking in
every meaning of the word.
Trade lanes, corporate systems, neural nets, communications of all kinds, AI's, ship systems..."

*The man scratches his exposed neck, the light revealing a portion of his lower face. A smug smile appears across the lit mouth.*

"...even military channels and systems. Oh...and the dirty little secrets they all have."

*A pause. Then a loud drawn out sigh.*

"Alas...there is no money in knowledge without the right
application. That is where I believe the Commonwealth can change that. "

*Another pause and shift from the hooded man.*

"I wish to join the Commonwealth. After hearing and
reading what I have, I do not wish to be stuck in some forsaken part of Sirius when all of the chaos unfolds...and get rich in the meantime.
I'm young so I guess that means I'm quick at learning. Please, the least I want from this deal, is more knowledge."

*The hooded man looks to the left of the screen, peering at a nearby screen.*

"Before I go; I'll be sending all my messages through secure files like this one. Don't worry, I can boost your decryption capabilities from here."

*The man shifts the camera again.*

"If you want to contact me, just run the file I just uploaded to your systems. Don't worry, its not malicious.
Just a simple program that allows you to send a message to my systems here. "

*The man looks around. As if spotting something he spins back to the camera.*

"Think about it. Mengsk out."
