A man appears on screen holding a welding torch. He raises his mask and puts the torch on his debris-cluttered desk.
Harold Kane here. I'm interested. Got something in mind for a meeting? We can crank the encryption up to eleven and do it here or me and my people can meet you and yours in Baffin. Whatever works.
Apologies for the mess. Rebuilding a starship without a proper shipyard is hard work and I haven't had time to clean my office out. Our conference room and the path to it is sparkling though.
As much as I would enjoy a face to face chat, I don't have the time and lives are at risk.
*He looks behind him and gives a nod towards his assistant hoverdroid, causing the screen to scramble for a moment*
Mr. Kane.
This channel has been switched to a more secure line but I need to know a few things.
What combat ships can you spare? Because right now I need whatever you can muster in Omega 49 or countless lives may indeed be lost.
TAZ at any moment will be drawn into the conflict between the Coalition and the Corsair Empire. I've already heard of assaults from Brotherhood vessels upon OSI shipments in the area. They're in the same state we are. I and only a handful of pilots within TAZ have actual combat expereince and I'm pulling up whatever help we can get.
If you think you can help us once again. I will be most grateful.
In return. I might just be able to help you get that shipyard you need...

The Vagrant Raiders are currently supporting the Coalition side of the conflict while attempting to remain neutral in shipping relief supplies to Omega-49. Our choice in this conflict has been based on the Coalition's intent to not bombard Gran Canaria or prolong the conflict at all, while the Corsairs seem intent on wreaking environmental and political havoc on the planet.
I will prepare a wing of fighters and bombers to intercept Brotherhood vessels. It is likely the Brotherhood will advance capital class vessels into the area.
Your return offer is much appreciated.
I am sure you will sleep well tonight, Pope Brettonias.
I regret to inform you that we have lost a Gran Canaria relief supplies shipment.
The base established by the Mollys in front of the jump hole to Omega-49 in Dublin has severely crippled one of our transports. The Mollys are not responding to our calls for permission to pass through the hole, which we really should not need in the first place.
It seems that we may have to divert a wing of bombers to Dublin to... rectify the situation. As soon as we are done we will begin moving more ships and more shipments into Omega-49.
The SCRA will be assisting us. If your people could spare any warships, it would be much appreciated. I know you are not people of war, but you would be defending the path of relief supplies being sent to a Zoner world.
I have a feeling we will soon owe each other plenty of drinks.

Kallisti, gentlemen.
Canaria Medical Center has received another shipment of Pharmaceuticals from the Vagrant Raiders. In addition, we have stationed the VGS Retaliator in the system for you to call on if assistance is required.
Please inform me if you need anything else. Otherwise, we will continue shipping pharmaceuticals and the essentials of life.
Sincerely,
Harold Kane
Taskmaster, Vagrant Raiders
