Hello Zoners of Galileo,

I am Wolfgang Weisen of the Lane Hackers. As you have been told, the [ZoG] ships are not intercepted by our patrols. Our men know that they belong to you. Yet you decided to serve the corporate establishment and hire mega-corporations instead of Zoners. You are not the first modular station under our protection to demand an exception for purely corporate transports. We had allowed that and you know what happened? We caught those ships not running supplies for their base but trying to profit from an extortion-free journey around Liberty. Pretty smart, right?

To be honest after this good lesson we were much less interested in granting you an exception. But Professor Yoshida personally intervened in the matter and offers a solution which The Lane Hackers can agree to:

• Add all your suppliers under one tag: [FP12] or whatever else you believe is appropriate. Those ships should run supplies for the base, not to be used for unrelated profiteering.
  
• (optionally) Protect your tag with a password so no one else may use it without your knowledge and potentially bring you trouble.

It would be wise for you to accept this generous proposal, our dear Professor is putting his personal reputation on the line for you.


Kind regards,
Wolfgang Weisen
