::TRANSMISSIONS:: < Erenies >Very well then. There are three tasks I'd like you to perform. Once you have completed these you will have your payment.
I want you to make contact with another group of our ships in sector[1,2] and relay an encoded set of coordinates to them. For your own protection I will supply you with a code that will identify you as friends, in case they are… Jumpy.
At certain coordinates in sector[3,1] we have cached a several blocs of supplies. Retrieve as much of this as you are able, and return it back here. If you don't have any ships that are capable of hauling Cargo, you will need to rent or otherwise acquire some. There are both Shipyards and contract ships to be found on Castor. Make sure you do business with someone you can trust.
Finally, a number of Sombran civilians have congregated in secret on Shard to await the exodus. Their passenger shuttle requires an escort out to the position of our fleet.
You can pursue these objectives however you wish, but our departure window is limited. As a gesture of good faith I am transferring a small sum into both your accounts which should help cover the cost of fuel and maintenance in the short term. If your efforts are successful I may be able to add other incentives as well.
(+6mil each)

::NEWS AND EVENTS::-------------------
----------------Jumpsat repair detacthment attacked;---------------------------• A small CLU fleet en route to JumpSat from Castor was ambushed and decimated by reported pirate activity, with the loss of two of the three ships, a crew of experienced repair techs, and specialized parts needed for the repair. The surviving CLU frigate reported the assailants to be pirate forces.
CLU's JumpSat operations director deflected to harsh criticism about the loss of these critical ships, saying that the convoy was sufficiently well protected against expected threat levels. When questioned about the delay in repairs, the director stated that JumpSat's status was 'serious, but not yet critical' and that there was no cause for alarm. He did not comment on how long repairs might take at this point.
((Pirate Fleet's Influence has increased))((CLU Influence has decreased))-----------------Maxxa Universal steps up production;--------------------------• In the wake of Culver system's isolation, Maxxa Universal revealed elements of it's plan to increase production on it's Triton Biofarm facilities to ensure the system does not go short on food.
((Maxxa universal's Influence has increased))-----------------Relief ships jump in-system;--------------------------• As news of Culver's isolation reaches outside systems, in the past days, several ships carrying supplies and other necessities have made blind jumps into the system. As yet only the closest of the arrivals has been detected, appearing a mere 45.6 million miles off-target and at full burn should appear in-system in approximately 22 days.
----------------industrial sabotage continues;---------------------------Titan Universal Refinery #3 on CulSat suffered a mechanical failure similar to the one that resulted in the shutdown of refinery #5 some time ago. While Titan has not yet released information relating to the suspected cause, an anonymous security contact within the corporation has stated that a suspect has been taken into custody.
