#4 by Carnifex

Carnifex was once again checking on bounty records. Activity hadn't seemed to have changed much but he was feeling a bit bored so he continued to read bounty files for the entertainment. Then he spotted something strange, a bounty that was secured even in the BHG only records. Carnifex’s curiosity was perked. Drawing on some long disused skills he’d picked up in the Lane Hackers he began to learn as much as possible from the file, the details were vague, obviously a job kept just for a few specific hunters who would know those details already and just needed the existence of the file to set them on course. The file itself was almost devoid of information.
Then Carnifex came across one prominent detail. All bounties that went through official channels had client codes attached, defining system, client and contract number. The system code showed a system that no bounties had come out of before, so it couldn’t have been inside a house, or a system with many stations, at least not corporation or peace keeping ones. The contract number was also interesting. The contract was the first one that the particular client had filed.
“Criminal organisation most likely, not unheard of...” he said entirely to himself.
