my name is Garrus Hendrix, one of the Knight Captains of the Forlorn Hope. I'm contacting you to ask for assistance with a Libertonian vessel that my engineers don't have knowledge of. You see, I acquired two "Guardian" class Fighters, one of them is standard Navy/Intelligence grade fighter, the other one is a useless surplus product. The surplus one is of little use to me and I only needed it for spare parts, though it turns out that those parts aren't compatible with the slightly older version of my Guardian.

Due to the recent events in Liberty, I might not be able to request a hangar and engineers for my personal ship. The war they're fighting is too demanding. I have seen some of your people flying with Libertonian ships and am now approaching you for help with the repairs of my ship. I had a run in with a group of fighters that have damaged my ship severely. Are your engineers capable of repairing the ship? If so I'm willing to pay for the repairs, either with money, goods or even information, just name your price.

I hope we are able to 'exchange favors'. Hendrix out

Yours sincerely,

it's good to hear from you so soon. It is good to hear that your organization is able to help me out.
As for the reasons I contacted you, is that I have some questions and a request that the Libertonian manufacturers may not be able to answer or simply deny answering my questions. As far as the requests go, they can't provide the goods I want.

I'll try make it more clear, I do need someone to 'train' my own technicians how to maintain the ship. Since I don't want to rely on other companies too much and feared, that the Libertonian corporations might just deny this request, I came to the decision to ask you for help. As you already mentioned, this might be a good opportunity to further our relationship and even provide knowledge or work on joint projects.

Secondly, I was always looking at your weapons and considered getting a batch of LB42 "Reaver Mk II" guns and figured we might able combine those two projects. I'm hereby also asking for a set three (3) LB42 Reavers guns and a single LT41 Reaver turret. The reason I'm combining those two 'projects' is, that I need help to configure the guns for my Guardian. It probably wouldn't be too troublesome for my people If I hadn't had to get a powercell from the IRG to replace the original, damaged powercore.

Which leads to my third 'request', additional help with the installation of the cell and adjusting the ship to the new power source. A proper harmonization between the weapons, core, shields and internal equipment might be hard to achieve without the help of a trained team that has the knowledge of the ship in question.

If those 'favors' are acceptable, I'd prepare our Carrier to transport the ship, me and three of my technicians to Dagger Station immediately. In exchange I'm willing to offer you what ever you want, if I have the authorization from my colleagues, that is.

On a side note, my technicians already took the surplus Guardian apart and replace some of the higher quality internals of the damaged ship. Therefore the second Guardian is only available in pieces, since my crew didn't have had the time to reconstruct the Guardian again. I hope this is not going to be a problem.

I'll await your reply. Hendrix out

since we're on a more secure line now, I do have more to tell you. Even more surprises if you want. Anyways, about the Guardian. The one that needs repairs is technically not allowed in Liberty. We did get it from friends within the LSF though we don't have a license for it. That's why I have the Surplus Guardian.

We knew from the start on, that we shouldn't contact the Libertonian Corporations for assistance in this matter. How'd they react when they found out it was an illegal ship? We also did not take the risk for to tell the government about the Guardian, instead we filed a Surplus request to get our hands on a legal ship with a chassis number that is legal.

Therefor I might have a question, since I'm playing with open cards now. Your organization construct ships, am I right, so I suppose you have the technology to change the digital and scanable serial number of a chassis, am I correct in that assumption? If so, I'd humbly ask if it would be possible to change the chassis numbers, if not, then I have to look for help somewhere else concerning the matter with the numbers.

If you accept however, I am going to double the payment, 50 million credits. I know that this is not something you'd expected when I initially contacted you but I do hope you might be able to help me. The payment includes additional money for the services and a bonus for, hopefully keeping this matter a secret between me, you and your men.

I'm sorry I did not mention it earlier, I am just a bit more careful in this matter. Hendrix out.

I'm glad to receive your answer. You summed up the current status pretty well. As for the more 'surprises', no, there aren't more. At least none that I'm aware of. The only 'surprise' that could happen at this point, is if we start to tear the ship apart and find some dead animal or something.

Anyways, as for our estimated time of arrival, we already prepared our Carrier and are already on our way to Dagger station. Therefor, expect us in a timely manner. Or more like the next 20 hours. I'm looking forward to meet you and your crew Mister McKinsey and I hope we don't run into too many problems during the refit and customization of the vessel. If we run into some unexpected problems during the refit that need additional funds, I'm taking the liberty to pay for those extra fees.

I hope our Carrier is going to be able to reach Daggerstation without getting stuck in an asteroid field. Hendrix out.
