I have been doing some hacking during my usual search for relics, and bringing in warpath information to the Ministry of Internal Order and the Ministry of War. Whenever I find one of these Minmatar listening posts, the Indagatrix's political officer urges me to do my duty. He assures me that my contributions will be noted.
Today, I received a mail from Sword Marshal Sirdan Xer Qosh. It read:
Hostilities between the Amarr Empire and the Minmatar Republic have escalated with more conflict zones emerging across high security space. As a result, your continued involvement in the defense of the Republic during this Warpath Crisis will be rewarded with fast-tracked access to blueprint copies of the new Navy Issue destroyers.
The boldface is mine.
First, I was terrified. Am I being accused of treason? How shall I clear my name?
Next, I was even more terrified. Is the Sword Marshal himself a traitor, delivering the Empire to its worst enemies? Encouraging me to help the terrorist rebels? Ironically trying to bribe me - who has sworn an oath of non-violence - with a destroyer warship?
In panic, I went to mr. Ivan Firth. After he helped me calm down with some breathing exercises, I could explain my predicament. He was stunned at first, but after a bit of communication with the Ministry, he told me this was an unfortunate error. These kind of mails are not sent by his excellence Lord xer Qosh himself, it would not be befitting for someone of his station to communicate with commoners directly. The mails are sent by his office, prepared and then sent by some clerk to large groups of capsuleers.
Tonight I thank God that I am not this clerk.
