| Nice | In your investigations so far, you've learned something about the local piracy situation and threats made against the shipping company. Space Piracy on Rosmerta generally takes the form of extortion. Pirates threaten to destroy the freighters of companies that don't pay them off - a sort of 'protection money' scheme. The local pirate ring, the Rusty Spears, extorted 50 AEC worth of Rosmertine Blockchain Units from the shipping company for the safety of the lost freighter, named ''Delicious Algene Health Drink'' The shipping company (Throbbing Bonobo Shipping) report that they've paid up in the past and, obviously, never had a freighter destroyed. You have decent underworld contacts, but none of them seem to think the Spears were responsible. They were paid, after all. If you nontheless desire to get more information, you might try Feelgood Wanabe, an erotic virtual reality simulation programmer and operator in the 2784th Ward. He's supposedly in with the Rusty Spears, though nothing serious has ever been pinned on him. He'll want some sort of bribe. Money, maybe fresh fruit, or something more interesting. == Nice == |

In your investigation so far, you've gotten some logs from the wireless station that controlled the missile. It was hacked from a network infrastructure point in the 2784th Ward of the Worldhouse, not too far away, with a stolen access credential. It happened |
