An Entrepreneur's Plight

Today I was offered a job from the Liberals of Elli, ferry Carson Pena Sightseeing. Unfortunately under close examination of the contract I realized that he was a wanted man among all groups. What do you do as a growing business? Take the money and be damned your ethics and allegiances, decline and stand by your principles and support of those you've aligned, or find a middle ground that makes you neutral but disregards those you actually support or rather claim to?
I took the contract. Not for the money but the reputation, as a CMDR who can get the job done and please my customers. I sat at the edge of my seat switching off my shields and running Lucian cold at 17% heat was suprisingly effective. After 2 interdictions and having enough time to avoid scans from Security Forces, I know now that the Dolphin can work as a stealth ship.
Ethically, I’m not sure if it was the right thing or not but we made some good money, managed some great scans and are now Allied in this station. If nothing else this 1 contract has enable my further performance.
I hope it was the right thing to do after all.
