The Oyster Creek Revenge Board

[|nfrared]

"Hey, uh, check this out."
"Can we get money for these?"
"Man, y'all, come see this!"

The occupants of the bar huddled in to see what the fuss was about. There was a new icon on the Oyster Creek database desktop. It was labelled "Oyster Creek Bounty Revenge Board".

Upon opening, there were some fascinating options. You could list people you hated and put a price next to their name, and people would seek out and kill them for the amount. Or you could register yourself to agree to go after people that were in the database. The group made several noises of approval.

The database is empty. Would you like to list a hit?

Then a beeping sound.

One new available job. "The Argo". Open? Y/N...

Someone reached over the reader's shoulder and mashed the keys.

Hey boys, Jimmy P here.
This guy has been sniffing around my business lately, and I'm not liking it. We have had to dump one load of cargo already for this guy a few weeks back, we had a nice little chat. Seemed to blend in enough with a Freelancer transponder code, but don't be fooled. During our exchange I learned a little about him. Name's Antares, but I couldn't find anything public on the Neural Net about him. I did learn that he is working for the Junker Congress though and he makes it his business to know your business, like some sort of self proclaimed cop or private detective. If he gets too close to what I'm doing down here in Texas, he could blow this whole operation wide open. I can't let that happen. I'd prefer if the "blowing wide open" part was happening to him instead.

He nearly caught me again today but made it into Ouray with little time to spare. It's a Pelican transport - don't laugh, I laughed at first but I'm not laughing now... I've heard them called "Poor man's gunboat" before, seems to suit that name.

I got a scan or two, lets see....

Datapacket - 1* 2*

Evidence must be submitted via this channel. I'll pay a 2 million bonus if some more information can be submitted with the hit confirmation about this "Antares".
Jimmy, out.

Would you like to register now? Y/N.....
