| Escalation from Sansha Fortress |
|---|
| As the bits and pieces from the disintegrated station charge into space, carrying the news of heightened entropy in the universe, your instruments receive an unusual message. It obviously is being transmitted from a Sansha ship and even though the person on the other end does not introduce himself as such, there is no doubt that this is the voice of one of those facistic Sansha pricks who have "True Power" printed on their undies. He demands talking in a closed channel and after you have establised one, he continues with some congratulations on your brave victory and then he gives you an offer; If you go to three different locations he provides, assassinate the Sansha leaders operating there and gather all loot you find for him, he will pay you one billion ISK. He then gives you coordinates to a location in a "take it or leave it" manner, before saying farewell and adds that he will contact you after this first target is destroyed. |

| Having waited for this devious Sansha guy for a while, you are starting to think he is not going to show up at all. You kind of feel used ... but on the other hand, you got to rob some more Sanshas. |

| After blowing up his third rival, you have probably come closer than you ever will to hear how an uptight head honcho with the Sanshas sounds when he is ecstatically pleased. He gives you one last location, tells you to come meet him there and take with you everything you looted from the three raids. It is pay day. |

| You have always been a bit ambivalent to having a day job and the employers you knew have more often than not been bastards. This one was no exception, leaving without a trace and no sight of the "billion ISK reward". You curse yourself for being so gullible. |
