First time using this equipment... Hello? This thing better be working.

Rex speaking, I have had the pleasure of speaking to one of your members on Planet Houston a while ago. The kind gentleman sold me an Albatross-Class transport to us Starfliers for small trading jobs and the like. I'm happy to inform you that I've made multiple rounds around the houses, selling Tea, Sake, Liberty Ale and the like between the capitals, really putting in the time to learn how to fly Gullwing. Right about now, I'm pretty used to flying a ship of this weight and mass. Might be ready for a bump in skill and training. We've recently acquired a transport to use that's a little bigger than the Albatross. From the looks of it, I'd say it's built by the Junkers or something. The computer calls the ship a "Retrofit Transport" and the manufacturing dates for all the components have been scrubbed. Anyways, the vessel is docked at Bay 03 on our Base in Kepler until we can confidently pilot it. I hear your transport captains go through training scenarios inside your virtual sims. Would it be possible for us Starfliers to pay to learn how to manage and fly say... a 3.5k cargo vessel? I know 5,000 cargo vessels exist, however a too big of a jump in cargo like that will probably result us in failing the tests.

What do you say? Feel like putting us through some training?

Aha, Charles! It has been a while. Massive thanks for being able to grant me my first Transport ship! Gullwing will be kept in great shape, and won't be changing hands again. Despite us moving up in terms of pilotable crafts, we'll still be keeping Gullwing operational. It's almost like your first credit, keeping it safe, display it, remember where you came from, that sorta deal. That's how I see the ship. Now, on to these training sims. I'm anxious to try them out.

You're able to program in any class of ship in these sims? I'm curious, is the Enterprise-Class Liner available? I think Leon is looking at obtaining one for us, could be something that may interest him. But I digress. Leon, Halpert and myself will be taking up the training, as we are the only pilots for Starfliers. Having us all obtain equal training and skills will help us get our jobs done in case one of us can't. Now, you say a month in training? Is this an 8-hour-a-day deal over the course of a month? Where do we go to put ourselves through these simulations? I'll need all the information now so we can make time to organise ourselves. If there's any form of payment to use these sims too, I'll need the amounts and accounts. Maybe I'll grab Gullwing and make a few rounds of the House's refreshments to lessen the blow of this training. Once we have all this info, we will be in contact for further steps.

Leon has been notified and he's very interested in learning how to fly one through your training sims. As for right now, we'll take the Retrofit Transport program on board Trenton Outpost. Leon has also been informed that 30,000,000 credits will need to be set aside. We only have a handful of orders left and then we can close shop for a few weeks. Our company is small, we have the luxury at the moment to shut things down and resume when we've finished the training. We'll be taking the full crash course over a month. If needed, we'll stay an extra few days to temper our piloting skills. In a few days, you'll find the credits sitting in the account you have provided.

Thank you, Charles. Godspeed.

We will take as much time as we need to make sure we master... master? That's too strong of a word. Make sure we are comfortable and confident to fly the Retrofit Transport and any other civilian and border worlds transports of the same mass and size. You'll find the payment for our training sitting in the designated account. Starflier Base has been supplied with a few resources to stay running for a while. The 600 or so crew on board will manage things while Leon, Halpert and myself make our way over to Trenton.

Godspeed and thanks, Charles.
