12 OCT 3307

*The secretive gambling circle of the super-rich has been raided by the notorious criminal known only as the [[Winking Cat]]. The information was revealed by [[Francesca Wolfe]] of the [[Wallglass Investigations Agency]], who infiltrated the event. Her report, which was relayed from an unidentified location, has been published by her fellow detective [[Erik Gunnarson]]. "I'm not sure this will reach Gunnarson, but I must try. After the security alert the staff started getting their IDs checked, which might have revealed mine to be fake. I managed to slip out of the warehouse and into an abandoned industrial district. I still don't know what planet I'm on, but I've found an old comms transmitter to send this message. Before I escaped, I learned what had caused the alert. There was a VIP ceremony involving the group's most precious possession: an ancient Joker playing card. Apparently this has been passed between senior members of [[Jokers' Deck]] for centuries, always held by the current host. But when Lexi October publicly unveiled the card, she found it had been replaced by one showing a different graphic – a winking cat. It's two years since we've heard from the galaxy's greatest larcenist, but there's no doubt that only the Winking Cat's legendary skills could have circumvented their security systems. I'm fascinated that a battered scrap of card has greater value than any of the billion-credit items being wagered here. Guards are searching for the thief now. I hope I can get off-world before they find me instead. They're armed to the teeth and not in the mood to talk..."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/616579b5a299dc590f074002 GalNet: Jokers' Deck Hit by Art Thief]</ref>

*[[Francesca Wolfe]] of the [[Wallglass Investigations Agency]] provides an inside view of the [[Jokers' Deck]] gambling circle. "[[Erik Gunnarson|Gunnarson's]] intel was correct. The latest host is multi-billionaire investor Lexi October, the lady who rescued [[Supratech]] from bankruptcy. We're in one of October Consortium's disused warehouse complexes, which looks derelict on the outside but is a fabulous glittering palace within. I don't actually know what planet I'm on, since all the servants – including me with my fake ID – were transported here in total secrecy. Jokers' Deck is exactly what you'd expect of a luxury casino for the super-rich. Exquisite food, sumptuous clothes, and dozens of games from deadlock poker to [[Giant Verrix]] racing. Wagers are made using billion-credit chips, precious gemstones and even land deeds to an entire continent. And that's not counting the VIP rooms that I can't get into. I've served exotic drinks to several famous faces, such as Duchess [[Rouncival]] and [[Scorpio DeVorrow]]. I've seen [[Simone Leatrix|Senator Leatrix]] talking earnestly to [[Jordan Rochester|Ambassador Rochester]] about a [[Aisling Duval|princess]] they both know. Arch-Corsairs Trask and [[Kay Volantyne|Volantyne]] from the [[Kumo Crew|Kumo Council]] are here, taking on [[Zachary Rackham]] at the roue mortelle tables. And there's no mistaking the voice of [[Alliance]] megastar [[Xiona]] whenever she wins big. Oh, and who should walk in just now but... wait, I can hear an alarm. Looks like a security alert. Damn it, have they detected me? I should – " The message was published by Erik Gunnarson, who added this coda: "I've heard nothing more from Wolfe since receiving this, and she didn't check in at a scheduled rendezvous point. I've decided to share her report as a warning to Jokers' Deck. If anything happens to her, just remember we know who you are."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/615c3c1eb344a01f325a8624 GalNet: An Undercover Report on Jokers' Deck]</ref>
