Transmission begins as image of a man appears on the screen. He's leaning back on a chair in a small room with his side to the camera and says without turning around,"Oberleutnant Dresner of Red Hessian Army... Eh?"then looks at the camera with a chuckle and says,"When did that happen mate?"then leaning forward, he continues,"Well... Last time we met you weren't much into these... 'Military' type of things. But I hope you haven't forgotten about those couple of weeks we flew together!"then leans back and says,"Well, I've been held up in Kusari for a while now, and right now I kinda need your help. I have a proposition for you..."then scratches his chin and corrects himself,"Well, not exactly for you, but for whoever's leading this Army thing of yours..."and continues as he points at the camera,"But I'm gonna need -Your- help to get the deal done. And you know I always offer good deals, so call me back if you're interested."then taps on the keyboard and transmission ends.

Image of the same room appears on screen again, the man is again reclining on his chair and tapping his fingers on the desk, he looks at the camera and starts," Yeah, you suddenly becoming 'Oberleutnant' in your Army of sorts is not the only thing that have changed in past couple of months since we last met... I'm not that much of a pirate anymore either."then clears his throat and continues,"You see, you can consider me as more of a 'Freelancer' now, who works for only those he wants. Not a cheap merc who goes where the money goes."then after a couple of silent seconds, he says,"And speaking of Natterturns... That was actually why I contacted you. You see, I scrapped that old Roc of mine, and been flying a second-hand Eagle with Junker guns since then,"and points at the camera again as he says,"And trust me when I say, those guns are plain junk!"then leans forward and continues,"So you see... I've been working with the Chrysanthemums for a while, and I figured I'm gonna need better guns for fighting all those freakin dwarf-sized Kusari lawful ships."and says after another pause,"So I was hoping you can arrange something for me so I can use a set of your Natters, without getting shot at for it... If you know what I mean."and transmissio ends as he taps on the keyboard again.

Transmission starts as Saerieve is standing in the other end of the room, pouring himself a drink. So he says as he puts the bottle down and returns to the desk with a glass of wine in his hand,"You know what I could do as a Pirate mate, so you should know what I can do as a Freelancer."then puts the glass down and starts counting on his left hand fingers,"Tell them... Credits are not a problem, if that's what they need... If they want someone dead, they'll find him dead soon enough... If they want me to sneak somewhere and grab them some intel, you know that I can... Or let's say,"and continues as he shrugs,"If they want any of those Blood Diamond convoys of theirs escorted to Liberty, even though not my type of work, but I'll still do it."and adds as he picks the glass up again and leans back,"Just tell them to give me a go on what they need, and I'll see what I can do."and transmission ends as he takes a sip from his glass and presses a key on the keyboard.
Herr, Saerieve is it? Herr Dresner told me about you. He says you are one of his older friends, ja? He has good things to say about you, and that alone says something!
I see that you are interested in some guns, ja? Well then, lets get that done. To obtain some of our powerful Natterturn Zwei's, I will need you to do a small job for us. I presume, for your own benefit, that you dont like the Corsairs, ja? Well, neither do we, so I will need you to destroy 4 Corsair ships for me, and then bring the proof of the deed here. I trust that wont be a big problem for you, since herr Dresner told me you have some "talents".
If you accept these terms, you may begin your hunt right away. Good luck mein herr.

Face of the man appears on the screen as he's looking down and typing something on a console. He seems to be in a ship cockpit - apparently of CTE series - in which the only light source is the light from screen. He adjusts his eyepiece and starts,"I've shot a couple of those 'Sairs in the past, so I know one thing for a fact... What you're asking for will not take long."then types something else on the console and looks back up,"You'll be hearing back from me soon enough."and transmission ends as he taps on the console again.
I have the kills you wanted. It took me a while because for various reasons I couldn't go past Sigmas, and those Sairs rarely go there. Still, even though it took me about a week or so to get it done, it's now done. Hope it satisfies you.
And in case you're wondering about the last pair of shots, on how I managed to kill that corsair without taking any damage... I was next to Yanagi when this drunk Corsair whore undocked in her Titan, so I tricked her into sleeping with me, but told her that I'll have to blast her ship and beam in her pod so we can have a little bit of fun in my ship. Well, do I really need to say that I just left her drifting around the place in her pod after I blasted the ship? No.
Now I believe my part of the deal is fulfilled, and now it's time for you to fulfill yours.
Gut gut, I see you took care of some Corsair dogs. Well that leaves your part of the deal complete indeed. And as for my part...
You are hereby granted access to 4 Natterturn Zwei's. I will notify our engineers and you may pick them up at your earliest convenience. Oh and, one last thing mein herr. Dont let me hear from our patrols that you were "misusing" these guns, or I'll have them ripped off your ship. Is that clear mein herr? Gut.
