It had been some time since Med Force Enterprises began a working arrangement with Cryer pharmaceuticals. Med Force was able to produce some of what it needed but not all so regular trips to the Syracuse Station were a norm. Even with the tension with the Liberty government, no one said anything. Along with the purchase of medicine, Med Force researchers and pharmacists were able to work with Cryer personnel to create new procedures and medicines, something that John Holliday wanted to continue. For now, all things seemed normal until Doc himself arrived at Syracuse to pick up another shipment.
"Dr. Holliday, your account," said the load master scratching his head, "it is voiding your usual discount."
Doc took his pad and looked at it as he scratched his chin. "Yes, that is weird."
"Do you wish me to keep loading your ship?" asked the loadmaster.
"Yes," answered Doc, "we need these. Um, I will go figure this out myself."
"No problem, Doc. No one is scheduled to dock here for awhile so take your time."
With a pat on the man's back, Doc headed off to figure out the problem.
It has been a long day for Amelia,but she has finally returned on Syracuse. After a day of running around, she was relieved when the ship's engines turned off.
As she was coming off her ship,all that was going through her head was how nice would be a drink and to read some research, to somewhat relax. So she closed the ship's bay, and started heading towards her quarters.
While exiting the hangar, suddendly, a friendly face comes out of nowhere; it was the commodities manager of Syracuse. "Miss O'Quinn!"He shouted with half of breath."They told me you just arrived on base so I rushed here in the hopes of finding you." "Ok.Ok. Take it easy.What's going on.Said Amelia to him, as she was intrigued to why he just ran across the station to meet her. "We have an..."He briefly paused before continuing, to think on how to explain the situation."Let's call it a situation. I think it is better if you came with me to show you She took a second, almost as if she were annoyed."Can't this wait until tomorrow?"She was still hoping to get some time, but that hope slowly fade away. "No it cannot."Said the manager firmly."It is something that has to be resolved now." She rolled her eyes."Fine lead the way." So they started heading towards his office.
On the way there, he explained to her about this buyer " Dr. Holliday", and how there were some issues with the princing of the cargo he was aquiring.
They reached the door, and the manager stops a few moments before entering. He took a deep breath and then opened the door, while Amelia was behind him and almost being amused by the man's reaction to the situation.
Without waiting for any introductions made by the manager,she confidently went straight to meet this buyer. "Greetings. My name is Amelia O'Quinn, C.E.O. of Cryter Pharmaceuticals. My colleague here says there are some issues with the transaction of some commodities. Can I ask what is the issue?"

Things had indeed changed. The people he once had dealt with were.....no longer there. He was quite surprised at the presence of this young lady in front of him.
"I take it that Mr. Bucksworth and Dr. Felcher are no longer with the organization?" he inquired. "A couple of years back, we worked out an agreement with Cryer." He shrugged, "I guess we can start fresh." He then introduced himself with the removal of his hat. "Dr. John Henry Holliday, founder of Med Force Enterprises. If I could have a little of your time, we could figure this out. May I buy you a drink, Miss?"
He then sent her a couple of files. "Perhaps these will help. Log 1 Log 2
