Somewhere in a conference room on Elysium a meeting has been called. Six transport pilots in uniforms sit at a long rectangular table eyeing each other warily while the president and vice president sit in executive chairs at the head of the table chatting with each other in hushed tones...
Max Harper strolls into the conference room where his colleagues are all seated and anxiously waiting to hear the reason they were summoned. He walks briskly to the opposite end of the table from the two executives and clicks on a large projection screen buzzing with information.
Good day gentlemen,
I hope you are all well-rested. We have received a new large-scale transportation mission from President Gunsmith and the Crayter Republic. We have been specifically requested by the Republic to assist in the rebuilding and recolonization of Planet Borneo in Tau-44, as well as the repair and renovation of its high-altitude orbital station, Minato Harbor. In front of each of you you will find a copy of the mission dossiers for projects Gemini and Minato containing a list of commodities from across Sirius as well as some notes about where to procure these items, in what quantities, and possible challenges that each presents respective to the travel required and the current threat levels across Sirius. The notes are just that, notes. They are not all-inclusive information and are purely based on research that I could get ahold of. Still, I hope you find them useful. This project has been cleared to proceed immediately and without further delay. It will likely take many weeks to complete, but we have faith in all of you and your abilities to get it done.

Take note, gentlemen that with the exception of Mining Machinery only being required for Project Gemini, the lists are identical in commodity, but not in quantity. If you can kill two birds with one stone and bring back quantities to satisfy both lists at the same time, that would be extremely efficient. As always, in accordance with company policy you are expected to log your deliveries, to include photographic proof of the manifests whenever possible, in the standard DSM message network, and also in the DSM-Crayter Republic communication network that has been established at this encrypted neural net address in your dossiers. I believe Vice President MacRae is developing an efficient database with which you can also track and log deliveries. Check standard S.K.Y.P.3. communications protocols for specific instructions from Mr. MacRae. Remember, a failure to report your deliveries would be a tragic waste of manpower. The job is not done until the paperwork is done!
As this project will take us all over Sirius, be sure to check the galactic news networks and take into account the various situations unfolding across Sirius while plotting your routes. You'll likely be flying through the turf of some rather nasty characters, not your standard window-licking Xenos from back home in Liberty. It's highly advisable to avoid the Rhineland-Gas Miner Guild war zones in the Sigmas and Frankfurt area, as well as avoiding any conflict with Gallic forces, as they will not be sympathetic to our goal.
You have your assignments, and unless Mr. Gunsmith or Mr. MacRae have anything further to add, you are all dismissed. Stay frosty out there.
