[ENCRYPTED MESSAGE TO ID: 'GUMIHO' FROM ID: 'KITTIEFIXIE']
Hey, I'm getting back to you with some new intel about the hacking situation. We recently had a Council meeting and while I can't tell you anything we discussed at it, I'll let you know that afterwards I met up with a person who was there who had also lost one of his informants. He gave me a name of a person I should contact about a hacker club his informant had been a part of, Sirocco, and I recognised the name. I've had dealings with him before, see, and I remembered this chip he gave me then that was some sort of membership into a hacker club.
Anyway, decided to drop him a message about it, because it seems like a lead worth looking up. You know anything about him? Had any dealings with him before? If so, you might want to see if you have one of those chips. I'm going to try to get in, see if I can hear something from in there. Hackers sometimes like bragging about their hits even if most of them are sensible enough not to do so in public, so maybe we'll get lucky?
I'll also be looking for this person's missing informant, even if that is secondary.
Oh, and I guess since it wasn't really anything specifically to do with the meeting, I'm also attaching a strange message I got uploaded to my NCU.
Maybe that can be of interest to you as well? There's talk about someone called Corker, or something called Corker. May be a call-sign or an alias of some sort? Hopefully there might be answers about that as well from Sirocco or the club, but we should probably be very careful not to ask too many questions without plausible reasons.
Graham is still missing, but I've started to put up posters now. Put a notice up on the grid too. I'm not mentioning anything about the connection to the hacker issue, but I figured setting up posters for a missing person makes sense and is innocent enough in itself not to be su****ious. I'll let you know if I hear anything about that too.
Until then, stay safe and vigilant.

Hey, don't know if you remember me, but it's Kittiefixie again. You know a few years ago when I ran you some errands and you taught me how to hack the grid data stream to get into the Fixer grid? A few days ago I was rooting through some old stuff to see what I could get rid of and I found this Hacker Club membership chip I think I got from you around that time, if I recall things correctly.
You know if those Smokers are still active? I find myself in need of a new gig and I'm sure there are ways I could be useful if I could get in contact. Nowadays I'm a master meeper and I know my ways around this place.
As I'm a resident of Old Athen it would be easy for me to meet up with you again sometime if you're still around down by the stream. Not many people around there usually, as we know, and I go by frequently anyway.
Please, get in touch. And be safe out there.

Yeah person. Sounds like a neut. Get this though:

Could be to do with that hack? Big though... That's OP-CW. Means clan territory op. Raids maybe. Call up the clanners, we're eating well tonight.
