Mission 63: Locate and investigate modular bases within and around Liberty

Recently, while investigating extortion cases involving disgusting corporate vessels and even a bounty hunter, I've stumbled upon a disturbing trend. The transport of materials, specifically ones for modular bases, such as Robotic Hardware, has seen a sharp uptick. As an experienced operative, I've grown accustomed to the comings and goings of the average corporate pawn, but the sight of a bounty hunter in possession of such items is a rare and unsettling occurrence. The origin of these materials remains a mystery, as their motives are not aligned with this kind of unusual shipping.

I've had the displeasure of crossing paths with a bizarre and distasteful organization of bounty hunter lackeys. They call themselves 'hitmen,' giving the impression of being in a serious line of occupation. A miscalling if there ever was one. My skills as an operative have brought me face to face with their rapid demise, watching as I brought about a swift and rapid decompression to their numbers. I even extorted their transport carrying materials meant for potentially modular bases in Pennsylvania. My dealings with them have left me with the conclusion that they are an unusual and amateur lot, wandering from their intended purpose. Strange, I know. The question arises, why are these bounty hunters of significance to our mission. The answer is quite simple.

I've made it a habit to comb through known destinations and outposts, and what I uncovered was nothing short of unexpected. In the vicinity of Planet Eerie, I spotted a new modular base that clearly belongs to that lackey organization of bounty hunters. This finding raises certain dilemmas for me. The so-called ...Spyglass.receiving.Data.Packs...Hitman.Agency.Headquarters... modular base appears to be in a colorless state at present, but I wouldn't be surprised if the ambition for authority within its walls aims for a greater degree of independence in their pursuit of underworld pilots. With that said, I can't help but ponder on how they plan to execute such a 'feat' for them. They've made enough blunders to present themselves as highly unprofessional every time I cross their path. It's truly pitiful, if you ask me. They neglect that genuine power lies not in material possession, but in one's principles and convictions. For these weasels, the quest for power is a fools' chore, destined for failure from the start.

The thirst for power, coupled with a lack of experience, has led them to neglect even the simplest of tasks. I breezed through the modular base undetected, ready to draw my weapon at a moment's notice. I didn't linger, but instead gathered crucial evidence for my investigation. I refuse to waste a any additional time in this sickening place. Thus, I quickly moved on to uncover who else frequents this place and gather concrete proof of the presence of the supposed hitmen. I am delivering the information gathered during the investigation in a timely manner.
