Well, we use Jack to start getting recruits/ties with the proles. They are much more likely to know about the black market, as they are basically at war with the government.

And suggest how we could do this?

Rather than having them directly force you to mine adamantine, I would suggest that they give you strange moods that require adamantine. "Dig out the adamantine or Urist here goes insane and dies" is suitably vicious.

(It occurs to me that you can probably get "Lovecraft" as the random name of your fortress. That's when you know you're screwed.)

The warehouse staff, when they have freetime, should roam the docklands and see if they can find anybody who seems to be a gangleader (or other important prole). They should try and make friends with them, and discern whether they are suitable to be recruited/liased. Then they set up a meeting with Jack.

Ammendments to this plan are welcome.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.

Jack is sent into the docklands. Before long he finds a large Warehouse with a massive silver hand painted on the side.

He stops the Van and gets out. He walks up to the door which is guarded by two men in grey hoods with a black trim. One of them wields an Automatic Rifle. He stops Jack and asks them of his business here. He replies, "I am a member of a new faction of resistance that is beginning to infiltrate the Middle and Upper classes. I was wondering if you could allow me in to talk with your Gang leader."

The two guards simply laugh and turn Jack around and push him back towards the van.

Alright, we have to find something that they want. Are there any things that people around here want, like drugs or booze or prostitution or something?

"Remember," Jack says as he turns round to the guards, "We infiltrate all levels of society. We can get you stuff that you need."

The guards turn to each other and whisper quietly.

"Expensive booze" One says. "Bring us some fancy booze and we could let you see your Gang Leader, but it's got to be the fancy stuff or you ain't getting in."

Hmm... Is there any way to get said fancy booze? I mean, do we have to get rich d00dz to get liquor?

alright, start stockpiling it. Fake receipts and storing them incognito should help us with this.

Nope. We stock beds, because then we can store the beds away in the warehouse so it acts like a barracks but without anybody there

This Booze is offloaded each month at Wharf 37. It is usually unloaded between the 18th and the 20th of each month. The booze is carried in small crates and is packed into heavily guarded vans. These are then escorted through the safest route possible by an armed guard with a Rifle. These Vans will go to where ever the booze is required; Stores or Warehouses. It might be possible to do a courier service for the government but it may be hard as many of the places are already taken. If you wish to steal the booze then that would be hard as the guard is a government soldier or a high ranked ex-police officer.
