Sir,
I need to request clearance to head to Corel system.

Is this for the Mullen case?

No, sir. I’ve exhausted all current avenues so that investigation is dead in the water until something breaks.
This is something else. I’d rather hold off on giving details until I know more myself.

Contact SC Texiera there. He’s good people. I’ll set up the intro.
I want an update as soon as you have something solid.

Hello SC Texiera,
SAC Lindy passed along your contact. I’m heading to Corel system, Lo specifically, to pick up a CI of mine named Terrence Wiley, also goes by FourBit. He’s a black marketeer who moves a variety of low spec contraband with the occasional foray into explosives.
Is there a local SA I could contact directly to get a lay of the land?

I’m going to assume that the black marketeer who “forays into explosives” is invaluable as an asset to justify why he’s not pulling a stretch on QuarterDeck.
I’ll sync you with SA Nadir; she works organized crime and can give you a current breakdown of local scumbags.

Desmond,
What the hell happened out there? Texiera has been all over me and now I’ve got McMannus and Ludo breathing down my neck.
If you expect me to protect you, I need whatever you’ve got. Now.

I’m sorry for putting you in the line of fire, sir. That was not my intention.
The incident on Lo was an unfortunate turn of events. Attempts to contact local criminal elements for intel coincided with a growing turf war. It was bad luck that a hit went down while we were in the middle of a meet.
As for the bigger picture, here’s what I’ve got.
Aside from moving trash contraband to trash people, my CI, FourBit, moonlights as a revolutionary activist, conspiracy theorist, etc. Though he finds cooperating with the Empire he’s trying to uproot distasteful, doing business with me means better business for him, so Credits win out over ideology.
He’s been attending meetings of like-minded ‘revolutionaries’ for a monthly griping session. One of the newer speakers, a man named Clemen Acord, has spent the past few meetings preaching for system independence, with each speech he advocates a more aggressive agenda to raise awareness for their cause.
FourBit believes that Acord and the small faction of followers he’s accruing are planning something. Being a staunch pacifist, he said he was going to infiltrate this splinter group to find out more and would update me. That was over four weeks ago and nothing.
Earlier today, I found FourBit stuffed in a cargo container in an abandoned shipyard, stippling indicated he was executed at close range. I’ve arranged for the body to be examined at local facilities and will update as I learn more.
Needless to say, I’m doing all I can to track down Acord and known KAs.
I will prepare a deposition if it will help you.

I’m sorry about your CI. Don’t worry about this front, I’ll back your play on this.
I’ve put together a full profile on Acord: a few arrests in a variety of demonstrations and protests, typically non-violent stuff. Agents have tapped F&F; they say he’s become increasingly disconnected and paranoid over the past few years.
Will forward anything else that comes up, but you do the same.

Found Acord. Executed in a similar manner to FourBit.
No sign of the rest of his group.
This is not good.
