Good day. My name is Ego - a Freelancer. Due to recent events, my ship has been brought to its knees and right now I find it quite hard to find components for it. Are you able to provide such for a reasonable amount of credits in return? Call it a deal, if you want.

Guten Tag Freelancer Ego,
Given the close proximity of Bering to our base in New Berlin near Essen Station, I would be remiss in not rendering aid to a vessel in need!
Your message is, however, lacking details on how we can help. You also do not get into many details of the 'recent events' that caused your ship issues - we would need more information to ensure our involvement wouldn't impact us politically in a negative way... an issue a Freelancer often doesn't concern themselves with as they aren't responsible for an organization. That doesn't mean we still wouldn't render aid, but I prefer the 'eyes wide open' approach rather than the surprise buzzsaw upon blundering into the unknown.
What components did you require? Are they of Rheinland origin?
Did you need any mechanical expertise for your repairs? If so, it may take us a bit longer to bring in some of our more technical personnel from Wichter Station - the staff at Bochum are our core specialists in the 'Toxic catch and contain' not really the find-and-fix variety...
Auf Wiedersehen,
Direktor Ernst Hermann, ALG Waste Disposal
I know that Corporations such as yours need to maintain good public image. I'm willing to pay a decent amount of credits for what I need.
What I need is a functional powerplant compatible with the chassis of a Valkyrie, or an original variant at the very least. I have this 90-ARKM-N9 "Valkyrie" that lacks the component in question. And I would prefer if we did this quietly given you would agree to this offer. You don't want to receive backlash for it and I don't want to leave records, either. Are you willing to provide?
I've relocated to a system closer to New Berlin, for that reason I'm going to kindly ask for the powerplant to be delivered on Wildau Station for pickup. How much do I owe you?

Very well, I've had the part delivered to Wildau Station, as requested.
As it turns out, the engineers wouldn't stop talking about this small project since the initial communication and now convinced Security to obtain this type of vessel for our escorts. They appreciate a change of pace from the usual 'how to I clear this gunk from the intakes' type questions our staff often supplies...
However, if you wish to send them some funds to cover the cost of the spare part and their time, you can foward the credits to ALG-Bank1 and I will see that they get them. Otherwise, consider it our good deed for karma's sake, and pay it forward on your travels to the next guy, whether that be another ALG- craft or any other wayward soul like yourself needing a hand.
Safe travels and we wish you well.
Auf Wiedersehen,
Direktor Ernst Hermann, ALG Waste Disposal
You will find that account with slightly bigger numbers than before, say 3,000,000 Credits. I appreciate the prompt services. I wish you the best, and hopefully we conduct more business in the future.
