Figured I'd handle this privately, truth be told, never been 100% sure about Lane Hackers and open broadcasts personally if you catch my drift. Moving on however, While performing the upgrades on the Brixton we noticed that the turret models were different, be them prototypes perhaps. Regardless we won't be firing them any time soon as their internals are fried. Though Junkers are renown for our ability to make old things work I fear these may be beyond our expertise, you on the other hand. You organization has existed nearly since they days this old bird flew, chances are somewhere buried deep in some old computer there may be schematics to repair the turret. Of course something like this will have a price. In exchange for your, and your people's, assistance you will have free access to the finished product.

“Weapons, right, ya'."
"Sheisse. I've missed your face, Rick."
"You're one of the last decent ones. One of the last prepared to cut out for your kith. You don't knife. But you sure are a hammer, even if you ain't as blunt as one."
"I don't know how to break this. Is it bad news if they shot the bearer? Screw it; nothing's in straight lines."
"Look, you've either heard, or you haven't. The Hesse' and the Coalition have killed near frickin' all of us, and we need every damn bandage we can get to staunch the wound, every hand with a compress, every vial of blood to keep the vitality choked down - and right now, we don't have near enough."
"Depperschmidtt, Sorka, maybe a few others, can have a crack at your turret problem. We've got legions of archaic, erzatz and wonked half-blueprints and quarter-guides starched away in our stockhouses. But right now we've got a big frickin' problem called surviving."
"If you can get us ten thousand units of structural alloy to Vierlande, and ten thousand units of Manifolds so we've got enough steel reserves to shore up the structure, sure, I can pull enough favours with the cells to get you that design board. I can't tell the cells to rip away critical brainwork in the crises hour without anything to trade them that's equvilently good. "
"Frick, I don't want to tax you, Rick, but our people are near doomed here. This is our Trafalgar, if Trafalgar was Puerto Rico itself. I'll probably need Junker consultation about pulling up a minefield and dragging out salvage modules for later on, but we should have the credits pulled up by then to properly fund you for the service. The cells are in chaos as of now. Any steel is going to stem the bleed. Anything you can give us that can be bolted to the walls."
"We've lost our home. We're struggling to fabricate a new home, not knowing if the navy's gonna' blow us out of our rat-run day-to-day to the next. or if the Hesse' are going to return to clean house. Everything counts here."
"Especially you."
"We're.... surviving by the sweat of our brows. Consignin' children to live and die in a battle-worn, leaking prison... I..."
"We all hoped for more. That this wasn't what Unity would look like."
Contract details Wrote:
Requested materials = 10.000 Units of Manifolds., 10.000 Units of Structural Alloy. Delivery location= Hamburg, Vierlande Prison. REWARD: Cross-cell technical and manufacturing assistance in the production of classic Junker transport weaponry.

I appreciate the complement, generally given who I am and what I do, complements are rarely wholly honest and are almost always laced with a measure of insult. So thanks for that, but on to business.
I certainly heard about a commotion over in Bering and the appearance of a Scrap Field in the general location of where Wedel once stood. I had no clue it was so grim, and frankly, glad I managed to contact you when I did. The turrets can wait until you and your people have a place to call at least relatively "Safe". Vierlande, now that's a place I am familiar with, spent a year in there about two years back after getting busted running the border with Artifacts. Can't say you chose a bad spot, though it's so exposed your gonna need more protection then a couple feet of Steel. I'll see what strings I can pull about getting you a pretty minefield set up out there. I will have my men out in Munich begin looking for any modules that are even remotely livable it won't be an OS&C resort but it will keep you out of the vacuum. Now, there is no doubt in my mind Lawfuls will be swarming the area, I cannot risk my men getting caught and shipped off to what ever hellhole they are calling a prison these days, probably Nuremburg. I'll have your supplies in 24 hours time, additionally, I can arrange for a shipment of Medical Supplies be brought in from Bretonia, I have a favor to call in that might be of use to you. Let me know where you want those.
Oh, by the way, once you get me those Turret Schematics were square. No credits required, save'm you need them far more then I do at this moment.
Greetings Unioner friends. I received a priority message from Rick, explaining the need for urgency for this job. I headed a two ship response team to get this job done. The necessary materials have been delivered in full and I hope it was enough to do some good. Total Amounts are as followed: 11,888 Units of Manifolds and 11,888 Units of High Temperature Alloy. Cargo Manifests and Receipts can be foundhere. Please don't hesitate to contact me or Arbiter Rick if you require anything else. Good Luck and God speed.

"Impressive, fast work. Sorry for hijacking the transmission, my friend, but I believe you deserved a final sign-off beyond what Arbeiter Riehl could promise. "
"We're men of the Union; we're men of our acts. We'll find you your weapon blueprints and start a production run, of that you can be sure. "
"Rick, you mentioned modules upon the Augsburg Wreck. We have located two, detached by dark matter erosion of their structural members. Two old manufacturing support modules filled with micro-factories, re-processors, filters and nano-manufacturies designed to keep the station in working order. Being industrial and maintenance modules, they are built more alike battleships than actual components, and heavily automated. Much of the innards have been burnt out, of course, but the core machinery remains, and they will save us valuable time."
"We are willing to send you two hundred million per module, to a total of four hundred million, or the cost of a fully armed cruiser. We will organise towing to Hamburg. That is slightly above the bulk materials cost of breaking the modules down and selling them individually."

Mr.Frie,
You are more then welcome to those modules as they were slated for dismantlement and melting on Culebra. Unfortunately, towing such large pieces of Salvage will not be easy with out using the Jump Gate network. Thankfully, I have a plan for that. I will contact RFP and inform them they are going to be towed by Salvager to Culebra where we will refurbish what is inside for our own use. However somewhere in the north of Bering. likely when we are heading towards the now vacant Kiel Corner, we will be "Ambushed" and the modules "Destroyed". From there your on your own though. Towing those parts across a system is, while challenging regardless, is far easier then attempting to use the Jumphole network.
Send your payment to .:j:.Finance.Department, once that is received I will get the ball rolling on my end.
