LH / CR / IMG - Ceasefire Negotiations, Barrier Gate, Coronado

[Wolfgang Weisen]

Wolfgang narrowed his eyes in disbelief. How could Professor Hunter has agreed to such pultry terms? He instictively swallowed after recalling the secret task he was given. He didn't want to fail yet he was quickly running out of options.

He took out his pad and started typing quickly a message to Nicole Hunter. It was in vain, he thought, but it was still his best shot at the moment.


"Professor, with all due respect, are you sure about the human trafficking clause? The slave trade is one of our main sources of profit in the Smuggling Division and losing the Coronado corridor would hugely impact these profits as we will lose lots of contracts to the Rogues and Junkers who will now have a tactical advantage.

Also.. about the relocation plan. Our slaves are captured combatants and civilians, it won't take even the Colonials - simpletons as they are - more than a few days to discover they're not simply 'unfortunate souls'. Then the captured combatants will be recycled back to Liberty Navy and the BHG..."


The Deceiver typed and pressed the 'Send' button.
