Hiring Blackheart Securities for Security

Director Blackheart,

We have had little opportunity to work with you directly before now, but now we have a particular need. One of our planets, by necessity, is a land of contemplation. It is a chance for the connected to get away from high technology and enjoy the simpler things. Some of our finest foundational research comes from this planet, which has over 100 million inhabitants.

The Universe is becoming chaotic, and it has come to our attention that we may soon be called upon to defend our planet, called "The Sanctuary of Contemplation". This is challenging for us, as by the precepts of the world there can be no production facilities or high technology. To arm the connected on the planet with anything would be to ruin the place. Our traditional defensive emplacements would have the same issue.

We have orbital defenses, but this is insufficient. Could we purchase your services as a militia for 500,000 ghaz, on the condition that our populace is not disturbed unless there is a large danger?

Prime

To Unity Prime,
I will scramble the necessary units to bolster your defenses. To bolster your orbital defenses several wings of Aegis Fighters with reenforcements possible will be scrambled to and will work with your soldiers manning the defensive network in order to patch up an vulnerabilities.

I will have a battalion of contractors broken down into companies spread across the planet to act as a quick reaction force for anything that pierces the orbital defenses. I am going to assume due to your uplinks you fear the external threat not the internal one.

If this meets your needs please wire the money to my banking guild account.

V/R,
Childeen Blackheart

Director Blackheart,

The money has been wired to your accounts. Thank you for your attentions to this. Please keep exposure to the connected on the planet to an absolute minimum. The sanctity of their contemplation and low tech lifestyle must be maintained.

It may seem strange, but you would be surprised at just how important this is. The Connected must not lose perspective, lest we become what we oppose.

Childeen Blackheart,

Considering your recent actions, and inactivity regarding the matter of our security, it has been decided in the security sub-consensus 000412-B that Blackheart Securities IRLC has been designated "unreliable".

We understand that for the disconnected, loss of funds can cause symptoms such as; hopelessness, confusion, remorse, and regret. If you wish, we have grief counselors you can consult with to help you through this difficult time. The Unity also has a number of children's games which can help you understand the meaninglessness of currency in this current chronological paradigm, available to you upon request as a reward for all of your non-work.

If you wish to protest your current professional designation, you are invited to speak at the next sub-consensus hearing 000412-C, which takes place in 168.4 hours. We recognize you may feel that reports of your breath-taking breach of proper conduct regarding the Pirates McConnel might have been exaggerated by our accurate scanning equipment, peerless reporting, and impartial examination of the facts. You may also feel that you deserve a chance to be regarded as something other than "unreliable" or "without a moral compass".

If you have received this message in error, please erase this memory and contact Disconnected Communications Bureau 34-B and Disconnected Communications Accuracy Bureau 14-C. This message was only intended for Childeen Blackheart, his representative or the head of Blackheart Securities IRLC.

Disconnected Communications Bureau 34-B

Disconnected Communications Bureau 34-B,
I think you need to upgrade your RAM or install another floppy drive or something. Because your system is producing some seriously messed up results.

First off I did not hand the crew to the Q'uall. I was hired to provide a distraction and then secure an outer perimeter. Do you really intend to hold me accountable for my clients actions? The pirates are because they are uneducated and guided by their emotions, you however I expected more from.

If I am being held accountable for my associates actions due to proximity then the Unity network would be held accountable for Angel D's gratuitous use of weapons of mass destruction.

Funny how very unrealistic guilt by association can be. If you really wish to terminate the contract then that is your right as a client, however I suggest you Defrag your system and run the program again.

V/R,
Childeen

Director Childeen,

I've emerged from the Via station, and have gone over your case in some more detail. The Disconnected Communications Bureau 34-B did not take into account your place in the command structure of the engagement you were involved in. In short, they and we both were wrong.

You must understand, to the Unity the idea of a member of an engagement not being involved in all aspects of strategic and tactical planning is...profoundly alien. They, and I, worried that you might not be the best fit for guarding The Sanctuary of Contemplation.

However, upon close examination of the record, it seems that you disabled the vessels before the Quall appeared. As such, considering your reaction, it is quite likely that you didn't know the level of treachery that was to take place.

If you are still willing to take the job, The Sanctuary of Contemplation needs both security and discretion, which we believe you can deliver. As a show of good faith, I am willing to double the payment offered before. In other words, one million Ghaz. We do not, for obvious reasons, wish for cloning tech.

Further, I am willing to help you get your men back. That your men are being held when they are, at the very least, those holding the least responsibility is childish. Our specialists look forward to working with you, if you accept.

Prime

(OoC: Giving the sanctuary planet a l33t bonus again)
Very well, we will redeploy the previous security contingent back to the planet. It will take a few days to get all of the facilities back up to a hundred percent functionality (As they were in remote locations so as not to interfere with the planets population).

We are currently filing flight plans through Unity space. Thank you for coming to your senses on the matter.

V/R
Childeen
