"Miss Perry:
I hope you didn't think I had forgotten. It wasn't my intention to run my time down to the wire, but by my count I've still got about eight hours. I hope you'll understand my needing to take some time to consider things. I'll keep it brief, since there are always concerns regarding uninvited... observers.
I accept. Conditionally. Let me know if you'd prefer to meet in person, or whether you'd like to discuss specifics - albeit somewhat ambiguously - here.
The first condition that I don't feel shy about mentioning here is the need for some small payment up-front. My business contacts on New Berlin don't give much of a damn whether I find work washing God's feet, they'll still want what is owed to them. Ten million credits should buy them for a month, but if the assignment goes over, I will naturally need to request additional help there.
Let me know if you still have work for me, and we can continue hashing things out.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
V.H.

Mr. Harrison,
I'm glad I've addressed any questions you've had during our briefing earlier today. I have completed creating your new undercover identity. Operation Grand Cannon is a go. Contact me again in 30 days time and let me know you need addition time and resources or if you need an extraction. Good luck.

"Miss Perry:
My objective has proven difficult to accomplish. I've spent quite a lot of time with -- is it fair to call them middle management? The closest I've gotten to anybody interesting was at a memorial dinner commemorating Leeds. The brass was everywhere, but you couldn't penetrate the swarm of attachés and bureaucrats. Consequently, the folks I've found in my sphere of access don't have much more to say than I do.
I'm requesting - if it's within your purview - a leave of absence from my posting. I'd like to check on my crew and take care of a few personal matters. I'd be open to reassignment in the future, if you still have any need of my assistance. Let me know what you think, and when I can jump ship. I hope everything's been good outside the lanes. Outside of comm chatter, patrol routes, and synth paste, I haven't had much to keep my mind moving.

Thank you for reporting in. In that case, I will consider this contract completed. I have tried to forward you the 200 million credits owed to you to your account on Virgil.Harrison, however it seems that account is no longer working. Please tell me where I should wire the cash owed to you when you are available. I have also purchased the land you requested on Planet Erie and I have the papers in order to transfer it over to you.

"Miss Perry:
Sorry for the delay - a wing of Enclave fighters strafed my posting a couple of weeks back. A salvo of Screamers scrambled the comms array to high hell, and we've been working off a high-security relay on a priority basis only. Seems a lowball like me isn't much of a priority. I just got my leave papers moved across the net, thank you for that.
As for my credit account, I had my crewmates remove my name from the Myriad's roster for our purposes. Wouldn't want anybody looking twice, you know? Anyway, I sent them an update just before recording this transmission, so if you try again at the same address, it should go through.
Thanks for everything. Swing by Erie sometime, won't you?
