Recent chatter on various channels reveals that pirate activity is on the rise.

I have managed to capture a strange conversation on the airwaves that indicates it may be an encrypted pirate transmission. It's most likely the planification of yet another vile attempt of extorsion on Itani trader pilots.

This encrypted file is made public in hope of anyone de-cyphering it and as a result help secure the trade routes.

Lieutenant-Council Mogul Velaio
Itani Defense Force, Cromwell squadron
"To protect and sever"

I wonder, to sever what?

Unaligned canopies from their wings.

sounds more like a malfunctioning R2 unit to me.

*move along nothing to see here*

sounds like little birdies to me

Exactly. Pirate birdies! But what are they saying?

Odviously none of you have heard of steganogrophy. It's a way of hiding info inside a file without it being detected. Mp3s, jpegs, and other media files can be used.

Time to go find some stego tools.

/me has heard of stenography

While I did spend some time in the Amazon Rain Forest, and have some famaliarity with Parrot, that parakeet is speaking with a heavy Brittish accent and can't make out many of the words.

I did distinctly hear "samoflange"

Hmmm, are the VO pirates finally putting their genetically and cyberneically-enhanced parrots to use? Or is MV just being paranoid? I say we sould call an acomplished liguist to look into deciphering this puzzling message.

They're Mogul's special cybernetic parakeets of DOOOM.
Fear them. They are coming for you next.

It's hard to chase a moth in anything but a ship that can't carry cargo.

it's sad.
