You're one hell of a hard worker eh, Lynam?
Well, good for you. My people say the Artifacts are in good condition and so is account, which should be about 200 000 SC richer by now. That leaves the Nox and the Fire Pearls to be done.

Although I had to take a well-patrolled and somewhat circuitous route, I have managed to procure the needed Fire Pearls. Don't make fun of the Hogosha, though! Especially not when they confront you with big guns.

Hello, Lynam.
I'm afraid this is not enough. Each shipment should be at least 3600 units (in other words, one Serenity of cargo) as mentioned in the job description. Even your previous deliveries were technicaly not enough, but 200 units less is not really an issue, less than half unfortunately is. I aprecciate the effort, but you'll need to bring the rest to get paid.

Greetings, Coordinators. This is Canterbury speaking.
During the last convoy, we had a conversation with Mr. Kurt of Conerock regarding the acquisition of a heavier transport, for my current Kestrel lacks the efficiency needed for bulk shipments. As vessels larger than a freighter are too complex for me to pilot singlehandedly, I am in need of a crew for my newly purchased Gull. However, due to the rather... let's say delicate nature of some of Irregulars' activities, it would be preferable if the men were from within our organization. Mr. Kurt mentioned an ongoing spacer training program and suggested I ask you to transfer some of the trainees or recent graduates onboard my transport to man it. Would such a solution be possible, and should it be not, where could I find good, discreet crew?

Bonsoir,
Me and my crew worked hard in the last few months to help the new recruits learn how to serve on a smuggling ship like ours. We taught them the tricks we know about how to hide not-so legal things and many other helpful tricks.
I can happily announce that they are ready to go aboard the Drake’s Fortune and serve as part of its crew. We will arrive at Freeport 6 during the night, give them a little party to celebrate their successful training, and then we will let them join Drake’s Fortune’s crew.

Hello mates.
I see Kurt's affinity for creative exaggeration is still going strong, Arnold. Did he really said "Spacer training program" ? I mean, some of our more senior pilots are currently training people on their ships, but those lads and lasses are supposed to crew our flag ship, Drake's Fortune, in the end. In fact, that's what Vaako was talking about in the message prior to mine. That being said, I know how getting a crew for smuggling ship can be a bit tricky. Right now, I'm not sure how many people we will really need, but if there's anyone who'd prefer flying on a normal transport instead of a carrier with Jump Drive, I'll let you know, and I asked my brother to send you a list of people who aren't Irregulars yet, but should be safe to work with on smuggling ship. He keeps such information on hand.
Vaako, thanks for letting me know, I'll make sure we're ready for them.

Apologies for the long silence, y'all!
Ida needed some space off of the Cadillac Ranch, so we were resting up in Texas for a bit with my foster dad on Beaumont. But holiday is over and batteries are recharged!
First off, for the MacRory brothers: the recruits for the Drake's Fortune are ready, and as we speak we're gearin' up and fastenin' our seatbelts for Freeport 6. Martin and about 25 other recruits were resting on New London over New Years, but they feel like they are ready for the big leagues now! And despite Martin's big f*ckin' mouth, I could not agree more.
*Mel chuckles to herself*
Oh, Finn, I did have a question for you though. 25 recruits are ready to sail on the Fortune, but Nadia...the girl who got spooked a bit by the Hackers during our software shipment last month, and 3 other recruits asked me if they could stay on the Cadillac Ranch with me and Ida. They're all able hands, and I'll be honest, I could use the extra bodies to run my ship. They're all good workers and want to stay with the Irregulars, they just aren't wantin' to part ways with the Ranch yet.
Of course I'll abide by whatever you and yer brother want to do, but figured there was no harm in askin'.
Now, onto business for the rest'a you boys:
I've been tryin' to work an angle with Rick Tiltman an' the Junker Congress over the holiday. Like you mentioned, Tommy, I wanna try and use my connections with the Junkers to all of our maximum benefit. Currently tryin' to work out a more specific shippin' deal with Rick and the Congress, but as of right now, Junker's Town in Omega-11 is open to us. Rick made sure to let me know that all [>MRI<] transponder codes have been approved for docking, and specifically let me know that we can get pretty damn good deals on Diamonds and Black Market Munitions there.
Lachlan, I know yer past reservations about dealin' with Junkers, and I'm currently tryin' to get Rick to give us some kind of assurance than he'll do his best to keep Junker scavengers away from our shipments. No word yet, but I'm tryin' my damnedest.
And of course, the biggest Texas welcome I can give to all the new Irregulars that joined us over Christmas! And congrats especially to Tommy and Vaako on joining the Inner Circle! I'm sure I'll keep ya on yer toes.

Well, damn. Working on getting my Serenity. And staying serene myself... Big apology for the shortness, apparently that previous late night bender had my noggin impaired. Wrong ship.
From: Mel Travers To: All Irregulars Point of origin: The Cadillac Ranch Subject: Junker Congress Contract Encryption key: 4pHa&58#f£W
Alright boys, we got ourselves a contract!
Just sealed the deal on a shipment of 10,000 Optronics to the Junker Congress base orbiting Planet Cannish in Inverness. Job is worth 75 creds per pallet.
Please just report back to me here with your shippin' manifests and proof of delivery once ya finish the run. I'll report back to the Congress that the job is done.
Hopefully this'll be the start a' some good shippin' contracts and better relations with other Junkers in Sirius.

Good job, Mel.
Finn's a bit busy with the Drake right now, building a crew out of all the fresh new spacers, but he said it's fine if you keep those who want to stay on Cadillac. They are all volunteers, we're not going to force them to work onboard a ship they don't want to. Oh and before I forget, good job with the contract, though I'd be a bit warry of the other junkers still, even if these ones seem friendly. They are a fractured bunch, even though I doubt I'm telling you anything new.
Lynam, it's fine, just haul the rest when you can, allright?
