Mr. Pomerov:

It's been a while, hasn't it?

I hope all is going well with you and the Lane Hackers.

That aside - I need to ask a favor of you. I recall hearing that the Hackers had once obtained access to a Zoner Whale. I can't entirely verify the claim, but if it is true, I assume that the Lane Hackers have somewhat intimate knowledge of Zoner hardware, especially ship mainframes?

I'm needing the Seraphine's Digital Rights Management and Control System disabled, permanently. The system seems to be responsible for preventing the 'wrongful use' of the ship's fire control systems. Obviously, this means that If I feel like giving Kishiro and the Keisatsu what for on my home turf, that I would need them to shoot me first. We have a patch to disable the checks it would keep making to Livadia during my administration, but now that I've become a "quasi-zoner", as it were, I'm needing to get this little problem thrown in the trash.

Of course, payment for your, or your fellow hackers' services will be upfront for this job. Does 25 million credits sound good?

Sincerely,

Nodoka Hanamura
Commander, CS Abdicant Seraphine
