Hello to the Others known as Revenant Corporation. This one would be interested in the machinations of one particular other on Omega, and inquires whether the Revenant has any access to surveillance equipment on levels 55-76, including sub-dock used by the others known as Knives of Gerjat? If the Revenant has access, this one would request unlimited use of this surveillance equipment for the timeframe [6 DAYS FROM THE DAY OF TIDE OF THE SEVENTH MOON]. This one wires a payment of 2000 credits now, and 10 000 credits later, if this request is deemed possible, and then granted. Return of the initial 2000 credits is not expected from the other if the request is not granted.

To Whom It May Concern:

This can very easily be arranged. As soon as you send the first sum, I will begin your assignment.

Sincerely,
C. S. 7435

ENCR MSG RL: Marovok Mr. Marovok:

Update requested. The target may move soon if we aren't timely; I would recommend all due haste.

On that note, compensation for provisions has now been issued to your account.

Sincerely,
Cerastes S.

Already on it.

Will keep you updated.

I suggest burst transmissions from now on.

ENCR MSG RL: CERASTES Ah, pardon the delay. Pressing affairs dealing with an unscrupulous client base, as usual.

Onto the matter of inquiry, I had formerly asked about remnants of Cerberus. Individuals in Cerberus that were spared the effects of indoctrination are rare. Those who survived the war even rarer. My request is to arrange for a meeting between myself and some of the survivors. A request spanning the entire organization would be ridiculous, and instead I would narrow the search to "cells" that managed to avoid liquidation/indoctrination. Researchers, infantrymen, all equally desirable. I realize that even this is much of a request, but I can make due with the cost. Business has been kind to my finances, and other than the occasional household renovation, I can spare enough for your efforts.

Encrypted Message to user "Cerastes"Bluntly: Good day to you, Mister Cerastes. I am taking a chance on your services. I enclose most of what I believe is adequate payment, with the rest to follow upon response. I will send additional credits for any useful information contained in that response.

Respectfully: This is a request for any reports - rumours may also be acceptable, depending on the source - pertaining to the likely whereabouts, or last destination, of a private vessel named -

Irritated embarrassment: - Shittiest Ship.

Tightly defensive: I am reasonably certain that is its official name; I am cautious of pressing for too much at this point, as I am sure a man such as yourself understands.

Respectfully: Thank you.

ENCR-MSG: Samuel Mr. Samuel:

Understood.

I will be off on business for the next two days, but I will have your list as soon as I am station-side again.

Sincerely,
Cerastes S.

ENCR-MSG: ALIAS: "SlowAndSteady" Mr. "SlowAndSteady":

I have heard worse ship names. Two and a half days, and I'll have everything put together. The payment is most adequate and appreciated.

Sincerely,
Cerastes S.

ENCR-MSG RL: CERASTES There has been a rapid change in scheduling. Whether you have the list or not, I will be away on a business trip. Former associates spring up from time to time, I'm sure you understand. I'll leave another message once the meeting has concluded.

Regards,
Samuel

ENCR-MSG: Samuel Mr. Samuel:

The list has been acquired; when you're in a more suitable situation, contact me again.

Sincerely,
Cerastes S.
