That seems odd. It makes you have to tell us about it, but doesn't give you any usefull info right away. If that's the case, doesn't it just make you a hutt target? They know you have it now and will probably try to prevent you from using it.
Actually, it didn't force me to tell you at all. Someone made a request and I merely honoured it, a gesture of good and free will
This message could have been from
anyone.
A fellow Rebel? Likely.
A Hutt? Just as likely.
It could have
even been from the 1 remaining
Undercover Imperial, of which we now know there are 2 confirmed; the first having been the late swamped, of course, who was so recently blasted off-world.
The Hutts don't know who the last Undercover Imperial is, and vice versa. Thus, even if by publically revealing myself as a potential source of incriminating information and thus an apparently confirmed-to-be-Rebel threat to the Hutts, as I have just done by telling you all of the existence of this holoprojector message;
they would be smart to not target me for one simple reason:
They haven't confirmed what I am.
I could be a Rebel; another Armorer, a doctor, a cop.
I could be a Hutt, in which case they would know if I was or wasn't anyway, now that I've spoken up.
I could just as easily be a third-party representative, an independent power to be swayed to either side's favour. I want to last as long as possible, that's what I want.
What if the one who messaged me was the last Undercover Imperial? What if this was their tentative opening salvo to negotiations of a possible Imperial deal, and I just happened to be the one who was hit? The loss of a secret ally is nothing to be sneezed at. Either side has everything to gain by keeping me alive as an informant. I have everything to gain by telling you all of this message's existence.

To the Hutts amongst us; would you risk killing me tonight, knowing that you're now potentially risking the loss of a third-party ally to the Imperials, if I had such a profession? The allegiance of the informant who contacted me was not stated. That's not a rhetorical question, feel free to respond
And to my fellow Rebels; would you risk detaining me today, knowing that you're now potentially risking a valuable trickle source of hit-list info conducive to the Alliance cause? And who else would bother typing up all this if not a wary Rebel?
Are you willing to kill a wildcard just to simplify matters?
Ultimately, I informed you all of this holoprojector message solely for my own benefit.
Also, I believe Mr. Castamere shot first.
