And you think that this would be 'not opposing'?? Of course, you don't
really know what Frypp and OS^2 are doing; for the most part, the group
(OS^2) is sending high-tech (mil-spec weapons and cyber, cutting edge
matrix tech, even a few pieces of magic stuff) equipment to specific
groups. Frypp is the delivery man; UPS, if you will.

Nope. As much as the market will bear. (Which is to say, put out a certain
amount over a period of time to maximize profit. Free traders are capitalists,
they just don't work by the same legalities as normal merchants...)
