〔bhg.nn_connection〕-- CLEAR 〔set_encryp.lvl〕-- AEG-LBv7.1.1 /-Sponsored by Interspace To: Phoenix Zoners - Leadership Subject - Outstanding Invoice - 50.000 S.C. Good evening, I am writing to inform you of some events that unfolded in the Omicrons earlier today. In the middle of a contracting operation, one of your ships, callsign 'Muses', implied that he was working with a vessel, callsign THR-Overseer.Unit-42-F. We were unaware, until today, that Phoenix researchers are employing Gammu AI vessels for their own purposes. Callsign 'Muses' openly admitted to employing this particular vessel for research purposes. The specific vessel in-question was dispatched by our wing in pursuit of two contracts assigned to it. This bodes a problem, considering that Aegis has relationships with multiple groups of clientele who pay well for us to dispose of these vessels, especially in the Omicrons. Given our recent status with your bounty-board, this marks these contracts as potential conflicts of interest. We would like to head this off before tensions escalate between our two groups. One of the contracts gives us incentive to dispatch callsign 'Muses', as it could be argued that his admittance to aiding the vessel could hamper us in our mission to dispatch the target in-question. Out of our interest in preserving a working relationship with your group, we let him live. However, this comes at cost. We humbly request a sum of 50.000 Sirian Credits for the trouble and we would like assurance that Callsign 'Muses', or any Phoenix vessel not interfere, verbally or otherwise, in our operations going forward. Please send the credits to Aegis|Bank at your earliest convenience. This is our first and only warning. I look forward to your reply. ~Omen Attachments - (2) Communication Log [14.07.2025 21:22:04] Lazurith: Omicron Pi - this place, somewhere, somehow, holds a ton of other toasters like this little fella. [14.07.2025 21:22:05] Aegis|Ashton.Wood: I know full well where we are, that has no consequence to me or mine. [14.07.2025 21:22:22] (\^/)Muses: i wouldn't be so sure if i were you Bounty hunter [14.07.2025 21:22:25] Lazurith: So - it stands to reason, that maybe it might've just... y'know, transferred all of its data already. [14.07.2025 21:22:37] Lazurith: You know, the same data you've set out to snatch out in the first place? [14.07.2025 21:22:38] Aegis|Omen: Then we have nothing to lose by killing it and sending its remains to the Core. [14.07.2025 21:22:50] Aegis|Ashton.Wood: Doesn't work like that.

It's not like you're fighting a friggin' Nomad over here. [14.07.2025 21:25:39] Lazurith: And no, thanks. I'm good. [14.07.2025 21:25:45] Aegis|Omen: Then shut the fuck up.
