A Junkers' Enterprise

[WildBill]

For the past several days Controller has been without a captain, as Bill has been piloting other ships in his fleet. The old Junker steps onto his bridge. Running his hands lightly across the back of his pilot seat he looks pleased. It must have been a profitable week in the scrap fields. As he takes his seat the intercom chirps. Only one person on board that would be contacting him. Eager hands fly deftly across the controls, shortly after a voice crackles through the speakers.

“Glad to see your back on board Bill. We have completed the first phase of our research here. The project you have contracted us for is possible.” He states, pausing for dramatic value. “But, it will require more than just the software you have provided.”

The old Junker waits for Alex to continue, but the intercom remains silent. With a slight amount of irritation entering his voice he asks “Well, Alex, what all do you folks need?”

“Oh, right. In order to create the equipment required we will need some specialized resources. I have compiled a list. It is here somewhere.” The sound of objects falling and papers ruffling can be heard over the intercom. “Yes, here it is. At the moment I require approximately 80 units of Industrial Hardware, 30 Nanocapacitors, 20 Nanotubes, and I believe 40 units of Superconductors. That is probably overkill, but better safe than sorry I say.” Alex states with a slight chuckle. He suddenly yells into the intercom, sounding more than a little angry "And you have not restocked your bar. I must say, these work conditions are most unsatisfactory."

A frown appears on the old Junkers face. “Ain't gonna be easy findin all that. Had a guy workin fer me, but I ain't seen hide nor hair of em. I'll have to git someone else to git it all. An don't you worry, I'll git some more whisky on board soon.” He states and immediately shuts off the intercom. He leans back in his chair and contemplates who he can contact, or more to the point, who he can trust to obtain the materials...
