'Trade-ins' brought into Disrepute

"TRUSTED pirate" would seem to be a phrase best described as oxymoronic. However, one Free Captain is becoming thought of as just that: trustworthy. The entity known enigmatically as Captain Chord of the Tangent has been gaining fame and respect System-wide. But bold WSN investigators have uncovered that Chord is working for the AI Council, and that the recently reported trade in of 5 PE's for a PEA is in fact a scam!

WSN informants infiltrating the AI Council were able to gain pictures of the stash of PEA’s that are waiting to be distributed; as you can clearly see they are not the weapons of destruction that have been reported, but rather, in the words of one roustabout in the PEA storehouse, "innocent legumes that have done nothing to nobody."



Chord has recently been gaining the trust and support of Pirates across the Stations with an exchange of Stealth Technology for slightly superior items, but recent data has indicated that this was in-fact a two-fold masterstroke of duplicity on both Chord's and the AI-Council's behalf which (1) gained the faith of Pirates everywhere in preparation for the PEA coup, and (2) enabled them to offload their shoddy ‘Class VI Stealth Drives’ in exchange for valuable Stealth Plating and genuine Stealth Drive technology. Initial reports of genuine benefits from the Class VI Stealth technology have since been disputed by Pirates after initial trials.



Meanwhile, the AI Council is reported to be using their newly acquired stealth tech to build their own Doom Station Mk M – our fearless reporters have of course obtained pictures to verify these claims.



It is thought that Chord and the AI Council are intending to use the Phaser Emitters and Duct Tape gained in their most recent scam to complete this beast, with dire consequences to the Solar System at large. At WSN we have dedicated ourselves to ensuring that this does not happen, and as such have volunteered to take any PE’s that you were going to send to Chord off your hands to ensure that they do not fall into the wrong hands. Therefore please send all your Phaser Emitters to either Shrew or Qil for safe disposal and to safeguard the Solar System from tyranny.
