Well I'm sure glad I reached out to you when I did, a day later and I might've missed you. I'm still kind of surprised about this whole situation myself, I think I remember meeting Becky on a freeport some years ago, and occasionally on patrol. Sometimes though, the stars just seem to align like that. I'm incredibly grateful--and honestly, quite relieved--that you've decided to go with me on this. As for the payment, I haven't seen that kind of cred in a long time, so if you're really okay with it I'll resist the urge to turn it down. Just know that if my services aren't satisfactory I will return any credits without argument.

So hopefully that won't be the case, since now that you've flattered me I'd feel even worse if I let you down. But now it's my turn, and I'll just say I feel a lot better about this whole thing knowing you seem to be one of those rare level-headed people flying around out here. Especially if you're gonna be stuck flying around an old relic, since while I don't doubt an Ahoudori will be a good deterrent, you two will be missile fodder if we run into any problems. Maybe I'm just overthinking things, but I'd like to discuss contingency plans and figure out our strategy when we meet in person, since your hunch about a trap is better than assuming this'll just go over easy.

Or worse, if we're going to meet up with a bunch of people to get into some kind of old cache? Well, I'm sure you know as well as I what greed can do to people, and depending on what we could find I could see an argument breaking out over who gets what and why. I may be assigned to scouting on this op, but you should know I'll be flying a Scimitar so I can punch above my weight class a little if things get ugly, and hopefully bail us out if I absolutely need to. I'll be bringing a little something extra to help with that.

Anyways, I look forward to meeting up with you so we can talk this over. If this is on short notice then it sounds like we don't have a lot of time to plan things, so let me know where we're meeting up and I'll head out ASAP. I'm as ready as I'm going to be until I get more information, so I hope to hear from you soon. Until then, take care, and I shouldn't have to tell you this but, be careful out there.
