"So, you guys were interested in the container we asked you to retrieve, right?"

Look, it's Elan Cubis, the PROGTECH research and development chief.

"It's only fair if I told you since you brought it back safely... well, for the most part. Anyway, we studied the derelict ship and you saved our databank with information pertaining to it. But that's not all."

"I've been investigating Nineball-related incidents, and the conflicts between various megacorps that were springing around lately. All my data is in the bank too, and let me tell you - something really fishy is going on there. Each time there's a huge battle, someone important, like an esteemed scientist, an investigator or a political figure, dies in collateral damage."

"I don't think that's coincidental. I think someone's causing these fights on purpose, as cover for assassinations."

"None that I know of. But that's very suspicious, isn't it?"

[abugslife]

It is.

Was there any connection between the assassinated people? Something that might give clues to the identity of the killer?

[srwu_npc]

"That's what I'm trying to establish. Any connections were coincidental at best from what I know so far, except..."

[abugslife]

Except?

[srwu_npc]

"The people killed were interested in Nineball and other powerful combatants that like to appear out of nowhere and intervene in conflicts, for better or for worse. Usually worse."

"Well, not all the people. Some of them."

[abugslife]

Nineball.

Perhaps he is the one behind this?

[srwu_npc]

"That was my first thought too, but if it's his doing then he has a lot of connections. Most of the time when someone important died, Nineball wasn't anywhere close."

[abugslife]

Perhaps a secret ally of his, then. Though it seems we are limited to guessing at this point.

If you find out more about this case, let Unity Group know. We are not going to just let it sit, either.
