Here's the deal, and I'll make it brief and to the point:
I feel like outfitting my ship with something a little more effective than Zoner blasters. Of course, in my line of work I should never get caught in the first place, if you get my meaning, but having the little extra insurance policy is always nice. Freeport Four has a small stock of "Vampire Three" turrets, and four of them would suit me just fine.
I'm not in the business of waging war, so you can count out attacking your miners. And the Cardamine trade, while I love that it exists, isn't how I roll, so working for your dearest pals the Outcasts is out of the question. On the other hand, if you yourselves need something under the table, this would be a swell time to set up a deal, wouldn't it?
Who I work for is not necessarily any of your business; the less we know about each other the safer we are, aren't we? Still, if my aversion to the Cardamine trade is any indication, larger crime groups probably don't like me so much. But suffice it to say that I deal in cargo and equipment, not in information, so the likelihood I'd cause a lot of damage to your group is rather low. Also, if I'm doing my job right, you really wouldn't be able to catch me to begin with, so it's more or less a "take it or leave it" situation.
As for ALG, I'm way ahead of you. Just tell me where to dump them.
