Hola senor Swerdtfeger,

Another client who wants our stuff. heh heh...

But the IMG has a special place in the Guild's amigo list. the Guild has reeled in quite the moolah thanks to you. So I believe a reciprocal service is in order.

Let me go over your list.

[1 Piranha]

You sure? You must have some pilots you really hate fly this thing amigo. Trust me. but granted.

[1 Sea Serpent]

Amigo, really? You want to kill your men this badly? Just tell them to steer clear of anything with more firepower than a handheld laser. granted

[1 Barracuda]

Ah yes, the infamous Barracuda. I remember this from back in my days. use its agility and escape pod. Granted.

[1 hammerhead]

It can't really take incoming fire but it's a slippery sucker. Granted.

[1 Manta]

Now this is a fine piece of scumbag-shooting tech. It's more agile than your Lhtose. Should be a relief. Granted.

[1 'Moray' bomber]

Agility over firepower this one. It can dodge more than your Nandas but it lacks anti-cap firepower. badly. Granted.

[1 Bottlenose]

This thing requires the most bizarre fighting style ever to have merit. Load up on doggybags when taking this out for a spin. Literally. oh, dont bother with razors and such, the plant can barely cope with an espresso machine, let alone energy hungry weaponry. use turrets. Granted.

[1 Orca gunboat]

Why you request this one is beyond me, amigo. It's ugly, slow and fat. And it has pretty poor firepower coverage. But if you wanna try it out... Granted.

[10 Buckshots]

Our Buckshot stock is being pillaged quite badly lately, but ok. granted.

[10 reavers]

Keep your eyes on the prize and they re good. Dont expect hammer-damage. granted.

Normally I would brush a shopping list like this aside. I get bombarded with tech requests but people fail to see that if I sell off the Guild's ships Im commiting econimical suicide. But as I said, IMG has special priviliges, so to speak.

I do expect some favors in return, though. What they are, I don't know yet. But you'll hear in due time.

Oh, don't shoot any lawfuls with our tech, si?

If you have any questions, Ill be monitoring this channel.

Adios,

C 'Cracker' Jack
