*[[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 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> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>The [[Kumo Crew]] syndicate is requesting deliveries to mass-produce a recreational drug named '[[helix]]'. The drug is believed to originate with the [[Blue Viper Club Clan Dredger|Blue Viper Club]], a [[Dredger Clans|nomadic clan]] travelling aboard an ancient [[dredger]] that recently appeared near Kumo City station. Arch-Corsair Kay Volantyne, representing the Kumo Council, provided details to local [[News Feed|newsfeed]] The [[Pegasi Sentinel]]: "Helix will change lives across the galaxy! Derived from high-quality organic crops, and with many medicinal and psychological benefits, it is guaranteed to bring contentment. All we need to kick-start manufacture are deliveries of [[Agronomic Treatment|agronomic treatment]], [[Liquid Oxygen|liquid oxygen]] and [[Performance Enhancers|performance enhancers]] to Kumo City in the Pegasi Sector PN-T C3-14 system. The Kumo Council also offers generous bounties on all wanted ships to protect traders carrying these commodities." Many authorities have registered concern that this will exacerbate drug addiction and misuse, which are common social problems. However, some markets have shown interest in the potential new product. [[Vox Galactica]] has reported rumours that helix may be a previously unknown strain of [[onionhead]], a highly popular psychedelic. It remains unknown whether the Blue Viper Club cultivated helix aboard their dredger or acquired it from another source.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60e70619ca08e10ba8548dab GalNet: Kumo Crew Initiative to Produce New Commodity]</ref> | *<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>The [[Kumo Crew]] syndicate is requesting deliveries to mass-produce a recreational drug named '[[helix]]'.
