...Incoming HIGHLY-CLASSIFIED Transmission...
From: Trading-ring Leader C.M, aboard his newly-acquired Pirate Train.
Location: Beaumont, Texas
To: All active traders
Priority: HIGH
Subject: Trouble
Gentlemen,
It has come to my ear that one of our trading convoys got caught in Dublin with <strike>Counterfeit Software</strike>. Remember our one most rule: DON'T GET CAUGHT!
I am saddened to see that, however, some of you lads didn't quite understand what THAT means!
It means not being SCANNED by any lawfuls!
Now I have heard rumors from a Bounty hunter (callsign: "morningstar") who hunted us down that the BPA) is going to be placing a Kill-on-sight bounty on ALL of us - whether we carry illegal goods or not!
Now since two of you lads failed me, there might be some punishment in stall for you.
It's up to the sympathy of the rest of the ring if they will help you.
Since Bretonia is one of our arteries when it comes to our trading business, you have endangered not only the import operations of <strike>Counterfeit software</strike> and Plutonium, but also the outflow of <strike>MOX</strike> and Gold.
And that saddens me! Because now we can't supply our Molly mates.
Now since it's best to let our higher ranks do the talk, I suggest we stay low and don't stir anymore trouble! And we'll do that by no longer going into Bretonia. If you wish to supply Malta, they appreciate Slaves just as much as they like their <strike>MOX-juice</strike>.
You have been warned, gentlemen. You're cooperation is EXPECTED.
Charles Monroe
