Greetings, Hunters.

Do you agree that machines were designed by men to serve them in tasks? => I do.
Do you think that a machine that is thinking autonomously is dangerous? => I do.
Do you think that a machine that has attacked humans should be dismantled? => I do.


You may already anticipate what I am up to.

I'm offering bounties on the following machines:

[size=medium]Targets:

1. [color=#FF9966]
   
2. Research.Drone-Chemical: A cruiser-sized Drone that kills indiscriminately and seems to enjoy killing helpless targets.
   Bounty: 6 000 000 per destruction.
   
3. A-55: A fighting drone with highly-developed fighting software in a heavy fighter that is incredibly fast.
   Bounty: 4 000 000 per destruction.
   

How often: I'll tell you when it is enough or when I run out of funds. You will be paid, I guarantee.

Who can claim this bounty: If you answered the above questions with "Yes, I do", you are in this. I don't care whether you work within or outside the law because you are not shooting people but dismantling machines on a rampage who have no legal owner, so this is no crime that could get you or me into trouble. Just register here and we are set.

Total money avaliable : 100 000 000 Credits for a first round, if I like the results, there will be the same sum again.

<< Bank Account Proof >>

How to prove it:
> Standard ID- and Kill-Cam shot are sufficient. Nothing fancy here.
> Bonus + 2 millions: If you send me a nice video that shows the machine's futile attempts to survive. Entertainment has its price, I'm willing to pay that small bonus.

Good hunting and be careful. All these machines are dangerous. You've been warned.

Mr. Unknown,

Order of the Old Guard answered positivly to all questions and we hope that we are worth such splendid opportunity, which can help raise the much needed funds for Mollys.
We will keep our eyes open for said ships and shall blast them to pieces when the chance arises.

~ Yours, Fred, Knight of the Old Guard

I always thoroughly enjoy harvesting the abundant supply of free copper wiring this recent, apparent oversupply of automatic computers has brought with it.

In fact, I enjoy it so much I recorded the last time I found one on video here.

I'll be signing my name and the name of my warhorse up for this bounty.

You may know me as the White Devil.

Gentlemen,

White Devil, Order of the Old Guard, you are both registered to work this contract. You have been added to the list of hunters.

White Devil, you made me smile. If you beat this Drone again like you did at that time and send me another of these movies, I will offer you a bonus of 2 million per destruction just because I like the way you screen it for my sadistic pleasure of seeing it go down.

I have added a general bonus for video screened destructions to the contract offer. 2 more millions if I can relax and watch how you beat these machines into scrap metal.

Mr. Unknown,

Do you have reliable cameras to pass on to us?
I could use it to raise our payment as well as your joy.
Jokes aside, we are on the lookout for these two.

~ Yours, Fred, Knight of the Old Guard

Greetings, Reavers!

Since both targets are already covered in another bounty contract (#772-A-6) with you, you can only claim once, since it's the same person paying the bills.

Feel free to claim the contract that may seem better for you since the special contract I offered you may differ from this public one (even more in the future) in terms of payment, targets, etc. Just claim in the right place, so I know who and how much to pay for the services.

An open transmission about your acceptence will be made to keep the other involevement secret.

Thank you for your services, you have hereby been added to the list of hunters on this contract.

Jack

Yesterday we scraped that broken toaster of yours in Leeds. It was aggressive piece of hardware killing civilians without any pattern. I must say I fully agree that all of them should be eliminated.

This is good news, Mr. Payton. I know my hopes in the EDGE services were placed well.

I am glad the drone was tracked down and taken care of. Keep up the good work and keep hunting them down wherever they show up. The problem with these machines is that they can be replicated easily by transferring their system core into another hull, so better expect to meet them again.

Here is the proof of the money transfer dated 15/03 CET 15:15.

Thank you for improving safety in Sirius by neutralisiing the dangerous machines.
