Rumors! Gossip! Tabloids!

A: Jericho, wake the ■■■■ up.
J: Well well… look who’s using the low band relay this time.
A: You’ve seen the development?
J: Hard to miss a ■■■■■■■ supercap translation.
A: Quite… It made it safely inside the perimeter.
J: Surprised they didn’t just cyno it into the perimeter directly.
A: The ■■■■■ chose the location for construction well. The main platforms are in a band of deadspace. This does make some things more difficult for the logistics with larger vessels coming and going though…
J: Alright, new question. If there’s that kind of bottleneck, why the hell wasn’t SARO and DERAIL up their ass like stink on fedo.
A: Shock at her being audacious enough to do so without a heavy escort maybe.
J: Maybe… hm… catching up on some galnet junk, looks like one of the big boys, Drust, may also have the hots for her.
A: What ■■■■■■■■ tabloids have you been reading?
J: Doesn’t matter… anyway… two supercaps, multiple carriers… a swath of modified intercept subcapitals… Those defensive emplacements… This is getting much more rocky Ali.
A: I told you not to call me that.
J: I don’t think you realize how deep we’re in right now. Or maybe you don’t want to acknowledge it, but its pretty ■■■■■■■ deep. Three of my informants went dark over the past week. She fuckin’ knows.
A: By the Luminaries…
J: You really believe in that crap?
A: We all handle the consequences of our work in our own ways… doesn’t matter though, to quote you.
J: Eh… fair. So… What’s the play. I’ve got a card… maybe… but… yeah after that I’m off-grid a while.
A: Can’t you prop up the FRoRV? Supply them materials, mercs?
J: I could. Doesn’t mean I should, considering the legal ■■■■■■■■■■■ that’s brewing right now. Chances of it paying off isn’t high enough…
A: …what’s that card you have then.
J: Turns out… Serpentis really have it in for little miss ■■■■■.
A: What in the flying ■■■■ Jericho? If this gets tapped…
J: Easy, easy… just… talking hypotheticals.
A: Hypotheticals that could cost me my position if traced.
J: Just consider it Ali… look, none of us are clean working the way we do.
