"Good Evening,
Let me introduce myself i am Chief Artificer Octavian, i received your request for the following.."
*clicks on digital readout* Service Required:
California lane repair
"I need slightly more information, regarding the trade lane units location....."
Brings up a screen of the California Minor trade lane to Magellan jump gate and displays it on the screen.
"As you can see there are 10 units on that trade lane, clearly numbered CM-JM/01 to CM-JM/10, would your Miner know which one of the units it was..? If not i can have the nearest *SR*Repair Unit meet you at California Minor and you can escort him to the relevant unit that requires repair"
*Closes all information screens*
"As for the cost for the repairs, a call out charge of 1 million is required to be paid to *SR*Bank* and after inspection of the unit, any other costs which you can negotiate with the Artisan.. i look forward to your reply"
Chief Artificer Octavian, i am sorry for the lack of information concerning the malfunctioning lane. It is the third lane from California Minor towards Magellan gate. The malfunction is minor, just some lights going wrong. We saw some traders watching from afair asking themselves is it safe for a lane travel so we made a contact since you look like a capable compyny.
We will oversee the lane repair though, due to possible pirate threat in the area and we offer protection. The repair itself shouldnt take too long though.
However, 1 milion is not acceptable since the fuel itself will cost 30% of that and your workers have to eat and earn their pay too. For this you will be compensated with no less than 4 milion SC. That should be enough to cover the expenses and earn some for yourself. The repair should be as soon as possible so i will have a DSM fighter escort parked at California Minor ASAP
Please make contact as soon as you are ready to comence the necessary repairs.

"Good Morning,
My apologies for a late reply, the one million SC payment is standard for in-house, after the Artificer has checked the malfunction and has determined the fault, will we know the true costs involved.
I thank you for your concern for our Artisans, but they are equal partner's/shareholder's within the company.
You could say we are really a co-operative as apposed to a corporation.
I am only the Chief Artificer due to my experience and age *Chuckles softly*
They call me the Old man, young people today *sighs*
A unit will be dispatched today and rendezvous with yourself at California Minor
