Intergalactic Summit

//Public Mercenary Netwrok Bulletin: Tanoo V, Ammatar Consulate Bureau//

I shall make this brief.

To any interested and capable parties:

I am placing a private 100,000,000 ISK bounty for the safe delivery of two Federation political prisoners, namely Jolee & Ting Hanvyner, alive and preferably unharmed to either the Tanoo V Ammatar Consulate Bureau or our own company HQ in said same station. I repeat that the subjects are to be alive and without any life threatening or otherwise crippling injuries.

Payment shall be delivered upon completion of assignment to whatever person or group of persons piloting the ship that the desired subjects safely disembark from, no questions asked. I would prefer that collateral damage be kept to a minimum, however there shall be no penalties or deductions should they occur.

For the record this is not an officially sanctioned government offer, nor shall there be any official government support provided. If, however, only one of the pair can be extracted then the reward shall be likewise only one half as well.

Further inquires or negotiations may or may not be answered at my own discretion.

Her singing.

"Both women are expected to stand before a Supreme Court special tribunal..."

My late husband was a Gallentean man of remarkable artistic talent who had converted to the Faith many years ago. One of the reasons that I originally emigrated from the Empire to the Mandate to avoid discrimination based on my choice of partner, though naturally there were other, more positive, reasons as well.

My reasons for desiring this rescue are many and entirely my own, but you are welcome feel free to speculate as my point of view on certain issues compared to the point of view of those same subjects so common to men like Blaque.

"Things are changing back there..." he had told me long before he was brutally killed by terrorists some years later. I did not know what he meant at the time, but think that I am starting to understand now.

I also enjoy music and would simply love to have her autograph.

While the reward offered my not seem like much to some capsuleers, we would do well to remember the difference between capsuleer wealth to the average person in New Eden. After all, how much does the average Federation prison guard make in their entire lifetime? I suspect that the sort of money offered should be more than enough to simply bribe one's way in and out of all complications without making much of a dent in the net profit.

Wow. Imperials are as a rule pretty naive but this level of fantasy is... well. Unexpected, to say the least.

There's so much irony in this statement, the urge to tear it into shreds it belong as is almost irresistable. However, that's already been done in a dozen other threads so I won't bother here.

I'll stay on topic and point this out to you, since clearly your own circle of friends isn't blessed with someone with enough logic to think of this themselves: you're requesting the forceful abduction, likely from a holding facility belonging to the SDII - a branch of the Federal Intelligence Office, the largest intelligence agency in the known universe - of two individuals who are suspected of high treason. The SDII are already on high alert due to another attempted break-in at one of their other facilities (which I assisted with, incidentally). You have announced this desire publicly, on a GalNet forum watched by hundreds of capsuleers (including at the absolute least one member of the SDII itself) and hundreds of millions of baseliners. You have offered a bounty of only a hundred million ISK, which doesn't even cover the cost of a fully-fitted battleship.

Given how monumentally ill-advised this entire exercise seems to be, it seems like a trifling afterthought to mention that both individuals are women in a homosexual relationship, which is highly illegal in the majority of jurisdictions within the Amarr Empire and the Ammatar Mandate.

Uh... yeah?

Poppycock.

What sort of rubbish have they been feeding you in the Federation? There is nothing in The Scriptures mentioning it one way or the other. Love is the first and greatest manifestation of God in Humanity. Why in the name of Empress would we, of all people, create laws seeking to suppress it?

Perhaps you are confusing us with someone else?

What the **** are you talking about?

Then perhaps you might be interested in taking the assignment yourself, then? As I said, the money is up grabs to anyone who can do the job. At this point I honestly would not care if they disembarked on this station from a Serpentis ship. I am not a government representative, after all, and being so I have far more leeway than an actual government agency would - which is exactly the way I like it.

This is the sort of assignment that requires brains far more than blasters. As I have noticed that you do have a rather uncouth habit of punctuating every statement that you make with cheap insults... and considering that this job would require quite a fair deal of subterfuge, bribery, diplomacy and careful negotiations, I shall thus retract my previous suggestion.

While I am sure that a hundred million ISK would be a powerful motivator to certain types of elite mercenary units, both of capsuleer and the more ground-based variety... I would think that some forged documents, fake credentials, a lot of hacking skills and fast shuttle should be enough for a truly inventive person.
