Hey, Arnold!
I might have a solution about the crew for you, at least for now. Ol'Reliable needs a general mainteance pass, it still has some issues from the run-in with the pirate some time ago and it's long overdue on a dry dock visit anyway. And since Finn needs me on board a Drake to help with the new crew for now,there's no-one to fly the ship at the moment. The rest of the crew agreed to help you out with manning your own ship in the meantime. They are experienced bunch, most are with boss since the time Ol'Reliable was the only ship flying for the Irregulars, so they should be able to assist you with finding trustworthy people for your own crew.
We'll be on Freeport 6 from tomorrow on, so feel free to stop by if you're interested.

Greetings everyone!
First of all - thank you for believeing in my abilities and promoting me to Inner Circle! I will try to prove my best here.
Second - the crew assigned to Zero Space is ready to disembark to our flagship. My crew taught them valuable hard skills of maintaining standard starship equipment. And in general, I got them used to the feeling of deep space. We took a few expeditions to deep Omicrons, both alone an as part of convoy. They know what they will likely face in the deep space and I hope they will prove themselves as valueable crewmates on our Bustard. Suggest keeping an eye on engine engineer Martin Crevice though. He might sometimes panic in extreme environmental condition, when engines require some specific treatment on the fly, so it's better to pair him with someone, who's naturally calm.
Finally - Nox delivery. With it, I introduced my recruits to Gallia, an they didn't like it one bit. Makes perfect sense to me though. Almost got caught by Armed Forces' cruiser in Leeds, but the radar contact was brief and I took... Let's call them "preemptive measures" to make sure it won't chase me. But other then that, no other issues on the way

Well met, Mel. Nice work on that Junker contract!! I'm rarin' ta go for delivery, but don't see any official contract postings anywhere. Wanna make sure everything on our side is official and everyone is fully accountable.

Same situation as with Sheena. We did it together, actually, but guess I have overslept, while waiting for their quartermeister to finish tinkering with software

Greetings, Ms. Sheena. This is Arnold Canterbury speaking.
I wish to express my graditude for your offer. I am currently on the way to Freeport 6 and will arrive later today. As this is only a temporary arrangement, I think the wisest course of action would be to start the search for permanent crew immediately, and only then use the remaining time to integrate them under the supervision of experienced spacers from your ship. Of course, I do not have much experience as a ship owner, and as such I would appreciate a confirmation from you, or an alternate suggestion should it not be the best solution after all. Where can I find you after my arrival?

Thank you for the prompt delivery, Tereon and Sheena! We just need 3,500 more pallets of Optronics delivered and then I'll let Rick and the Congress know about the completed contract. Let me know if y'all need any compensation for parts, fuel, or services rendered and what account to wire to, an' I'll send some extra creds yer way.
Lachlan, please send my thanks to your brother! Ida has gotten pretty attached to Nadia; and I can't lie and say I'm not glad for the extra help 'round the Ranch.
Oh, and Lynam, as soon as I post a contract details with the client, delivery location, and price of the contract here and on our Contract Board, it's good to go and up for grabs. Looks like you were beaten to the punch a bit on this one.
*Mel chuckles*
Speakin'a contracts: got another live one for y'all! New fella I haven't met before, so keep yer eyes open and wits about you. Leo Morningstar of the Starlight Research Consortium is askin' for 10,000 SCUs of Counterfeit Computerware. Delivery is to be made at Ikarus Station in Tau-23. Contract is worth 500,000 creds. 'Course I know y'all are more than capable, but if yer lookin' for a good place ta source the computerware from, you'll probably get a good deal from the Hackers in Ontario. As soon as I've posted it on the contract board, it's good to go. Good haulin' to y'all!
From: Johnathan Lynam of the Irregulars To: Mel Travers Point of origin: Ikarus, Tau-23 Subject: Counterfeit Comupterware Contract - First Load Encrpytion key:7KB#%97#024
I found the official notification and the base; just delivered 3600 to Ikarus for ya. Looks like that's a start. I for one very much appreciate your hard work finding this contract. But that level of dedication and commitment is what I've come to expect from everyone in the Irregulars.
From: Johnathan Lynam of the Irregulars To: Lachlan MacRory Point of origin: New London Subject: Fire Pearl Run FINALIZED Encrpytion key:7KB#%97#024
After a brutal, mine-and-gas filled run to Ikarus in T23, I stopped by Junyo to grab some Fire Pearls and deliver them as promised to New London. I apologize for the delay. It won't happen again, boss. Raising a glass to all the Irregulars as I head off to my bunk for the nite. It's cold in space.
Here's hoping this finishes off the Restocking runs.
From: Johnathan Lynam of the Irregulars To: Mel Travers Point of origin: Ikarus, Tau-23 Subject: Counterfeit Comupterware Contract - Second Load Encrpytion key:7KB#%97#024
Load 2 proceeded with no issue. Drank an entire fifth of Paddy's on the way. May have slammed the FreeDancer into a couple of large boulders on the way, honestly I don't remember. Just woke up in a puddle of something that smelled really bad in the Ikarus docking bay. And damnation, the time stamp went away! Grr.... Something always goes wrong when I sniff the whiskey.
