Taxi service

Objective: moving a clone through dangerous zones (nullsec, warzones) while "away from keyboard" using a courier contract.
I think it can apply in 2 cases: either move an inactive jump clone (the simple case), or moving the active medical clone, in wich case the customer must not see where the transport is, so the player only can use chats, browser, and maybe market details assuming is not that important not to know the region transport is in.
This service can be very handy for moving support alts, as a high augmented miner or off grid booster alts with no covop skills.

There will need either a specialized ship (some covop shuttle), or more "realistic" case, a module, some like "life support cargo hold" on low (cargo) slot, some skill (taxi driver license under trade tab maybe) which would allow transport of 1-5 clones at a time.
And of course it will work like any courier contract, colateral according the expense of the implants, and reward.

Loosing the transport ship will loose the clone (either jump clone wich disappears and has to be reinstalled, or the medical clone which will be treated like any pod kill) and the colateral, of course, like any other contract.
