I was in my office on Rochester yesterday when I had stumbled upon an old advertisement for the long dead 'Sirian MercNet'. It's that anonymously run network that managed anonymous bounty contracts. In my earlier days I was considering taking the route of mercenary work and signing up to that board myself, however in retrospect being a Marauder has much better perks (thank you, Kruger Minerals).

Though, a brainwave did cross my mind. With MercNet out of the picture, another individual could easily engineer another similar network. Unbeknownst to the rest of Sirius that individual would gain access to loads of information regarding the people who placed the bounty, the bounty contract itself and the contractor. I am not sure what moral code the owner of MercNet may have had but from his perspective I see a missed opportunity.

As you can imagine from what I have said above, I've taken it upon myself to invent a new form of MercNet but with the Junker Marauders administrating it. The rest of Sirius will be clueless as to who the true operators are, and we can gain access to information as well as chuckle at seeing random people across Sirius being indirectly killed by us. Quite humorous - the Junkers are the true masterminds of Sirius.

As I am writing this I am already creating the basic software required to get this running. The mainframe for this software will be stored in the personal data-cube I keep with me. That'll provide me with direct control. Once I have completed creating the software I will only merely need to add some elongated description and make it look like the AI is self-aware. I think I'll call it CubeNet, as an ode to MercNet.
