Take this to Silver Mantis right away!

Silver,

I just overheard a radio address from that old bag Miss Liberty and she’s made some tasty toys for her cloth-wearing weaklings to buy a little loyalty. Sounds like it will be a high-tech gadget and I’m going to catch a shipment before they get to Independence Port. Assuming it isn’t just some holiday piece of junk, I want to build it into my armor.

Lord Recluse gave the go ahead but only if I share the spoils with those destined scum that have overrun my territory like rats. Ah well, we can keep most of the haul for ourselves as long as we give enough away to keep the Arachnos wannabes quiet.

Meet me tonight at the lab to work on a plan. I know the first shipment will arrive on December 8th and they keep coming in until January 2nd so let’s make sure we get our fair share of the goods. After we take what we want, we can dump the rest on the little chosen punks as a holiday present from Lord Recluse.

B
