So, uhm, remember that I blew up the Brutal Capitalism? Well, uhm, turns out that the bomber that was hitting us with Novas caused some damage that needs repairing. Uhm, obviously. But, uhm, I went to New York to get that done, and, uh, well, they said they do not have the fitting parts to get it done, so they said I need to go to Riverside Station in California. So, uhm, that's what Madeleine and I are going to do now. Do not worry, we will use the cloak. Better safe than sorry, uhm, right?
Anyway, I this could take a bit longer so I do not know if we are going to be back today, so, uhm, you will be alone with Monique. She will probably be pissed that we will not be home for the match, so, uh, if at least you could hang out with her, that would be cool. Maybe you two can order a pizza. Or you could show you how your robot parts work, since she keeps asking me whether it is okay to ask you about that.
Uhm, I will try to be back as soon as possible, though! Love you!

Alright, I'll keep her some company. If anything goes wrong, just give me a call and I'll be there in a minute. As long as it's not between 8 to 10 Denver time, because if I'm ever going to miss this match in particular, I'll never live this down. I'm not exactly hankering to leave this couch.
...What? No, you order pizza, Mon. Give me a minute, damn you. Can't you see I'm in a CALL--
... I am a bit mad, now. They let us wait for two hours at Riverside Station until this engineer showed up, then he looked at the ship, said the exact same thing the other guy in New York said and told us it would take a longer time to get spare parts for Condors because, you know, it is a Zoner design. And, uhm, well, Zoners are currently not really welcome in Liberty so that is a problem. They do not manufacture Condor parts there and cannot get them officially because they get produced on a planet in the Omegas. I think it is called Malaria.
Anyway, we are now on the way there. I asked for the way and it turns out I was already there once. Not on the planet itself but with the IMG group I was working with. I doubt we will be back any time soon, but I will try to get this done as fast as possible. But I have no doubts that you and Monique will get along well in the meantime!

Something just happened, and... uh. How... busy are you these days?
I... I uh, I kind of have a pretty big question to ask. I can't deal with it myself because I'm stuck in Honshu, I'm taking care of a few things over here...
Although, uh, if you ain't exactly hankering to go on a potential wild goose chase, it's... it's fine.

A few months ago I slapped an integrity tracker on the Homerunner's transponder cabinet. You know, to make sure the impounding office wouldn't just sell it off, or scrap it or worse.
Well, it's moving. Quite far, actually. The person on-board brought the thing away from Inverness somehow. I got jacked.
It's... honestly not that big of a deal. But I can't exactly leave where I am right now, and odds are the person might just be trying to pawn it off somewhere in the Omegas. As of right now, it seems to be headed deeper in the Walker nebula from Stuttgart. If it goes any deeper in there, the tracker will likely lose my already teetering relay connection stability and I'll probably lose the darn thing for good.
I just want you to try talking to the person, if you can. If you see any sign of danger, turn tail immediately and get the hell out of there.
...Uh, that is, if you would be fine with bothering with this at all... it's up to you, Levan. I understand if you'd rather not get involved in anything dangerous.

This is a goose, by the way. Asshole animal, honestly. Never feed them if you think about going for a stroll at Winston Lake in Crichton. They will bite you!
I can try to pursue it, but the Kay is considerably slower than your freighter. I am on my way as I record this.
What do I do if the person does not want to hand her over? Blow it up? I do not have any gadgets that would allow me to capture it. Or marines. Or killer robots. I do not even have a gun. Maybe I should get one. Just in case. I mean, I blew up a Rogue destroyer, so maybe I should, uhm, start some training? Lea wanted to teach me how to use a rifle.
Made all the way to Omega-7, asked a few pilots on the way about the Homerunner, but nothing. I do not know where to continue the search. Does your tracker pick up anything?
I found your ship and am slaving it home now. No idea who took it from you, but they used an ID spoofer. I simply used a tractor beam to tow it away from where it was left and made a run for it. And from Freistadt, I slaved it.
Going to take it to Barrier Gate and call it a day there. You should probably invest into some better security equipment. A techie like you should know better.
By the way, Lea is super mad at me now. I guess when she said "Consider me gone" she expected me to, uhm, well, not consider it!
