I'm far from a murderer. I dropped off his pod
in Freeport 1. It is amazing how some people
cling onto their ore. Ready to lose it all.

From: Matthew "Cannon" Johnston.

Message: Fantastic news.

Admittedly, our organisation would have preferred the pod also be disintegrated, but since we are only paying for the ship's destruction we can understand your choice.

The credits will be wired from one of our lettermen as soon as you receive this message.

I must say, this sounds...intriguing. I hope those you represent have deep pockets, Mister Johnston.

Message: Those who I represent must, in order to undertake such a venture.

Imagine if we did not pay. Imagine how many collectors would come onto us. It would be bad business.

As Lieutenant Commander Schneider has already said... this is very intriguing for the Children of Conviction... consider these many many... "wonderful" people... spaced.

Message: It is rather intriguing, but as I said earlier we are paying you to kill. Not to wonder.

Feel free to wonder, but the credits roll in from the kill.

Hello. I've just received word of your bounty from an old Bounty Hunter friend of mine. It pays to have connections, no?

This is a very large amount of corporation you're going against here. Daumann, IMG, Colonial Remnant , Kishiro, Kruger, BMM...

I wonder how large of a bounty we could put on your head, Mr. Johnston. Or the CoC's. Be careful who you choose to play with. If we find your bounties interfere with our profits, action will be taken.

From: Matthew "Cannon" Johnston.

Message: Feel free to put a bounty on my head. No doubt this will cut into your own organisation's funds if you conduct revenge operations on the Children of Conviction, or the fruitless search for more information about myself or the group I represent.

Personally, it does not bother me. Why? I doubt you will ever work out who we work for Mr Peavey. Best of luck in your efforts though.

I won't touch a BMM... never encounter Kruger or Dauman, but the other three <grin> they can eat anti-matter.

***End Transmission***

From: Matthew "Cannon" Johnston.

Message: You will be paid for whatever kills you make. We do not care about your selectivity. It would be hypocritical Mr Luciano, not to mention, bad for business.

We look forward to the elimination of our targets.

Have a nice day.

Daumann, the IMG, the CR, all o' them? You must have a lot of enemies, i wont allow myself to be affiliated with people i barely know. Now, you can contact me through private comms with some basic info or i wont be doing much shooting.

Out.

----TRANSMISSION LOST----
----TRACE: IMPOSSIBLE----

From: Matthew "Cannon" Johnston.

Message: Not very ruthless are you, if you are unwilling to kill without basic information, or kill such an easy target?

The group I represent do not see fit to disclose any further information.

Have a nice day.

Quite the opposite actually. Your attempts to 'confuse' me have in fact only broadened the list of suspects. I'd publish them here, but I doubt that doing so would be productive.

However, one cannot deny that there may be more than one faction behind such an action. Perhaps, even more than one... species?

<< TRANSMISSION CONCLUDED >>

From: Matthew "Cannon" Johnston.

Message: If you insist, though, as I said before, I doubt you will ever work out who we work for Mr Wolfe.

Growing much more intelligent, are we not?

Theorise away, I know you are just clutching at straws, because, if you had any solid evidence, we would not be talking.

Have a nice day.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.
