	The company made the mistake of hiring some mercenaries for concert security, and the entire cover got blown.

	The Toughs have been through a couple of ships since then, and Ennesby managed to take over the computer systems of the //[[~~schlockmercenary/Serial Peacemaker\|~~Serial Peacemaker]]// while they were being upgraded.
