Too Close for Comfort

Briefing

you, good. I hope you've recovered from the Syndicate trip. Once again, good work out there. Unfortunately, it turns out we have one more loose end to tie up. My people tell me that Hyasyoda have already launched an investigation into theformula theft. I suppose this is a play to lend an air of legitimacy to the racket they've been running. The situation is an amusing one, yet also dangerous for us. Our tracks are well covered, but – as they often say at Hyasyoda itself – only the paranoid survive. They've deployed their security wing, the Corporate Police Force, into “various locations of interest.” I've learned that Onirvura was listed as an area to investigate. They're right here in the constellation, setting up a temporary base for interrogation and imprisonment. Fortunately for us, the CPF has hired a mercenary crew to handle facility defense while they set up. This gives us an opportunity to strike at them without it constituting a direct attack on Hyasyoda personnel. That would muddy the waters a bit, as I'm sure you can appreciate. Mercs or not, though, they're getting a little too close for comfort. I should mention also that we can still resolve this peacefully too, if you prefer. The intel that has brought them here can be manipulated, perhaps, and lead them elsewhere. I care very little about how you want us to proceed, as long as this situation is dealt with. I want to go to sleep tonight knowing our assets and our reputations are safe.
