Good evening and well met, my man.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Camille Beaucouer, captain of the independent freighter Laplace Vector and freelancer for hire. I ran into your man, Altman I think was his name, during one of your Delta runs. Ran escort and scouting for him, no trouble came up. Did such a good job, he referred me to you.
The point is, I am looking for work and offering my services to your fledgling republic and its admittedly beleaguered forces. My ship is a Draugr-class, so it is well-equipped for scouting, hauling, reconnaissance, exploration, surveying escorting... Many roles. And let us just say that if you need something delivered quickly, quietly, and safely? I am your go-to person.

Good evening, Ms. Beaucouer.
I'm surprised you got referred to me, I'm more in charge of military matters. But the Assembly is always looking for freelance pilots willing to work with us, and we can pay good gold for delivering supplies past the Crown's blockade.
And since Altman vouched for you, I'll get you added to our associates list so RPA ships don't give you trouble in Molly territory - unless provoked.
There may be a contract for you soon, but we're still working out some details. I'll be in touch when we have something. Until then, enjoy your stay in free Dublin.

Good evening, Captain Beaucouer.
Got a small task for you, if you're interested.
While the Assembly is scrambling to secure an inflow of essential supplies into Dublin, we're also trying to improve the general living standard of our people. Mining is hard enough work without BMM taskmasters looking over your shoulder, and Minister Burns wants us to acquire some luxuries to lift everyone's spirits a little. Starting with - you guessed it - booze. I can't spare a ship for this supply run at the moment, which is where you come in.
Now, the Crownies are trying to clamp down on traffic going into Dublin, but you should have no trouble pulling a fast one on them. If you can deliver 1800 crates of Liberty Ale to Connacht Depot, our base in Dublin, we'll not only take them off you at 90 Cr. per crate, we'll throw in a shipping bonus of 300,000 Cr. when the job's done.
You'll find Connacht if you look by the remains of the old jump gate in Dublin. It's up to you where to get the goods, but I hear Planet Curacao has what we need. Should be a quick and easy run if that's true, and well worth your time.

And now, I notify you of my follow-through.
You should find the units of ale waiting in the proper containers on your deck. Nicely chilled and waiting for thirsty mouths. Personally, not a fan of the stuff. Details of the delivery are attached.

Good morning, Captain Beaucouer.
Aye, that was fast. Very fast. The mark of a true professional. You'll find the shipping bonus has been wired to your account through untraceable means.
The Assembly appreciates your quick work. We'll be in touch again.

Evening, Captain Beaucouer.
The lanes been treating you alright? You've shown that you can get stuff done. Are you up for a bit of information hunting?
There's this org called MFE - MedForce Enterprises or something like that. Don't know much about them - our only record of them is from over three years ago when one of their ships stopped by during a fight in Dublin and picked up one of our injured pilots. They handed her back to us when she recovered and there's been no word of them since.
Now, our lads out in the field could always use more medical support, so we wouldn't mind getting in touch with them, see if they'd be interested in helping us out some more. They operate all over, even out in the Edge Worlds, so we wouldn't know where to start. That's where you come in. We want to scout them out first, and if you have any info on them, we're willing to pay credits for it.
If you manage to track down one of their ships or bases and chat with one of their members, even better. Find out who they are, what their history is, would they mind lending their professional medical expertise to terrorist revolutionaries - that kind of thing. Then bring this info to us and you'll be well rewarded. The exact amount will depend on how much you can dig up, but I can promise up to a million credits. But even if you turn up nothing, we'll still pay you a bit for your time - let's say 250,000 Cr.?
