No doubt you remember me. Earlier today while traveling to Malta I had the pleasure to watch a GRN freighter get ripped to shreds near me. Rather than let such a fine ship sit in pieces I decided to tractor it aboard for scrap. However while searching it I came across a rather disturbing report, while its may be outdated I think it might still be worth something to you.
I'd be willing to trade the full report for an engine upgrade at your shipyard. It should be easy enough, the Pilgrim Liners arrays, while old, should be easily modifiable.

It is always good to hear from a friend of Malta and a frequent distributor of the Orange Dream, especially when the message comes along with such an intriguing offer. The Crimson Council has authorized me to negotiate with you on the potential terms of this deal.
I have had a talk with some of our engineers onboard Valetta about the possibility of upgrading your ships engines. They told me to ask you what model number your engine is, according to them not all Pilgrim Liner engines are built the same. Also they wish to know specifics about what type of engine upgrade you are looking for.

Ahoy Captain,
As much as I would love to answer your question I'm honestly not sure what sort of engines are on this vessel, given her age. What I can tell you is the original reactors are Bretonian in origin, heavily modified though. I doubt much, if any, of the original engines remain.
I'm looking for them to be upgraded to the HN-D6 series. With their rugged construction and minimal maintenance its my kind of engine. I do understand that its not quite as simple as dropping three HN-D6's into the engineering space of my vessel. So I certainly hope your engineers are up for the challenge.

Well, I relayed your response to the engineering staff and they said they that what you want can most likely be done. They cannot guarantee the amount of time and effort that will have to go into the modification. On top of that they informed me that they may need you to bring some supplies depending on how complex the engine fitting will be to produce, we can only spare so much maltese resources on the project… I am sure you can understand.
I should be available to meet you in orbit around Malta at any time in the next day so let me know when you want to meet. There we exchange the cargo and I can give your ship access to the shipyard’s scaffolds so our engineers can take a look.

So... if ya wanna know why nobody's worked on your ship for the past few days, It's because you parked your hulk of crap in the wrong section of the Valetta's scaffold. The flight-officer told you section D-12, not section C-12.
Way to go you magnificent bastard.
