From: Chairman Ender of Highland Security
To: Cartel Member
I have just been handed a note from one of our tech support people indicating that you hacked this channel, and I have to ask, why? It's an open channel, you're welcome to connect as you see fit. Seems like a waste of time, really. But I digress:
Quote:Highland Security, it appears that we are at an impasse, we must smuggle our goods and your destined to attempt to stop us...
Destined? Well, I suppose that sounds nice and all, but we're contracted, not destined.
Quote:You know from last night's engagement that we have superior firepower and tactics
It didn't take last night for us to know we are outnumbered and outgunned. The copious amount of Outcasts that come out to play during each intercept we perform tell us that. And yet we seem to be successful, as evidenced by my colleagues report earlier.
Quote:Consider this, you continue to operate within the Tau's against Outcast and Cartel interests, than we have no alternative but to hunt you down like those old Sol creatures known as "Dogs".
Dogs are an apt description. You Outcasts, currently, are more numerous and better armed. You chase us around, and send out overwhelming numbers to combat our successes. Yet here we are, still going. As the leader Dwight D. Eisenhower once said (I enjoy Sol history, but I digress once again...) "What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight — it's the size of the fight in the dog." Perhaps you ought to consider what might happen when our size matches our fight? Perhaps give up the smuggling route, until we are contracted to do something else.
