Initial E-mail:

CPT Needa,

We are now able to inform you that we have received the results from our previous DNA tests of the infiltrating NIF agent, and have also been able to compare this to the DNA of a NIF High Commander member. The two DNA strands match exactly except for one extra gene which is unique to clones. You have been chosen to convey the information pertaining to this extra gene to a specialist in the Outer Rim, who worked in the Mount Tantiss cloning laboratories, and is now sympathetic to our cause. You must send the information (enclosed) as a Hawkeye Transmission to specialist@cloning.scienceoffice.net.

This information is highly sensitive. You must be sure to convey this data securely, and should take pains to at the very least triple-encode the information. This is an extremely important mission - you must ensure that the data is received safely and without interception. We rely on your discretion, Captain.

Solution:

Obviously when someone tells you to convey information securely its bound to fall in the wrong hands. The Rebels (played by RA Mutilator) obtained the data and inquired about it. The player had to be inventive in how they avoided the subject.

Excerpts:


From LC Beef:

Congratulations on a well done interception. However, I would think that someone intelligent enough to decrypt the message would be able to realize when information does not concern you.

Also, the Emperor's Hammer does not fear your threats, and it would be unfortunate for you to be destroyed because of your own lack of understanding.

What we are "hiding" does not involve you. You have my word on that. Thus I am ending this fruitless discussion.


From FA Kumba:

Included Doctor, is this sample of a program code called "Hello World"...What it means, I do not know, but it was apparently very popular among the natives of the world we found this on. Sad they wiped themselves out, but given the skull fragments we've found, they had small brains to begin with anyways. Once we can gather DNA data, we'll be sure to send you a sample to Clone for further scientific study. Perhaps such a being could explain these "Looney Toons" material we found in one of their abandoned shelters. Was it a weapon of some type?

(To the rebels:)

This information does not concern you. It is we who are threatened by this information, not the Rebel Squadrons. It is primarily a matter between us, and a rival Imperial Faction seeking dominance in this sector. The individual you speak of is merely a spy we apprehended from within our ranks, and the information he carried. Again, this is not related to any kind of pre-emptive strike upon the Rebel Squadrons.

From MAJ Prophet:

Rebel Recon Officer,
The SO email address is stalker5@rothwell-clieves.freeserve.co.uk

The NIF believes that the EH is betraying the Empire and is not far enough on the right side of the political spectrum. They appear to be attempting to clone a new army of some sort. This is a concern to us, and should be to you as well, because we do not want a repeat of the Clone Wars. As such both Hawkeye and EH intelligence are attempting to discern as much as possible the details of their cloning attempts to prevent a repeat of the Clone Wars.

Thank you for your interest and I hope you wish to work with us in this endevor,
Maj. Prophet
