As the business with the Count on Gaia is over - god rest his soul as that place seems overrun with angry Gaians - I have looked for new profit avenues. Seems like my past Corsair connection has gone cold. The Taurus people seem all but gone.
I have stumbled upon some DTR Fellows and they have clearly replaced the old guard, engaging in massive Artifact excavation operations when I met them.

[14.01.2022 21:49:35] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: It's an artifact excavation operation
[14.01.2022 21:49:48] UC/-Cacciadore-Noir: Is this where you get them? *thinks*
[14.01.2022 21:50:00] UC/-Cacciadore-Noir: You wouldn't mind sharing would you?

[14.01.2022 21:50:53] DTR-CSS>Topo: M: Well Senor, Our standard rate is 2.500 credits per cargo unit
[14.01.2022 21:51:08] UC/-Cacciadore-Noir: I never got a reply from your kind sadly
[14.01.2022 21:51:16] Your cargo is now full.
[14.01.2022 21:51:31] UC/-Cacciadore-Noir: I suppose it is past that point now since you have managed to get a licence apparently
[14.01.2022 21:52:12] Your cargo is now full.
[14.01.2022 21:52:49] DTR-CSS>Topo: M: A free sample free of charge
[14.01.2022 21:52:59] UC/-Cacciadore-Noir: I was proposing exactly that
[14.01.2022 21:53:12] UC/-Cacciadore-Noir: to the corsairs I have contacted all the way back *laughs*
[14.01.2022 21:53:27] UC/-Cacciadore-Noir: Maybe you are the new kids on the block so to speak?
[14.01.2022 21:53:36] UC/-Cacciadore-Noir: What happened to the . . . Taurus I believe
[14.01.2022 21:53:50] DTR-CSS>Topo: M: Taurus are still around, but greatly diminshed in numbers, Senor
[14.01.2022 21:55:15] Trade.Cart: Hola, amicos.
[14.01.2022 21:55:30] DTR-CSS>Topo: M: Hola!
[14.01.2022 21:55:30] DTR-CCS>Megisti.Anesi: Corella: Hola
[14.01.2022 21:55:33] Trade.Cart: Delos space control did announce a hefty party went ahead for the Knossos.
[14.01.2022 21:55:33] Wavefront: greetings
[14.01.2022 21:55:40] DTR-Havelock: Serrano: Hola, compadre.
[14.01.2022 21:55:40] UC/-Cacciadore-Noir: I see
[14.01.2022 21:56:05] DTR-CSS>Topo: Marco: Si! We're refilling our ever growing stashes of Relics!
[14.01.2022 21:56:06] UC/-Cacciadore-Noir: Are you off to move these artifacts afterwards?
[14.01.2022 21:56:10] Trade.Cart: Would you be so kind to offer your services to me as well? If that's not an issue.
[14.01.2022 21:56:27] DTR-CSS>Topo: Marco: Not right away Senor, but in near future!
[14.01.2022 21:56:45] Trade.Cart: Haha... by near future you mean in the nearing moments?
[14.01.2022 21:57:01] DTR-CSS>Topo: Marco: No senor, right now we're merely refilling our local depot.
[14.01.2022 21:57:17] DTR-CSS>Topo: Marco: Well, "Depot" might be an understatement given how much armor and guns that thing has.
[14.01.2022 21:57:30] Trade.Cart: You have a storage bay somewhere?
[14.01.2022 21:57:57] DTR-CSS>Topo: Marco: Si, please follow Megisti Anesi after we're done filling it in!
[14.01.2022 21:58:28] Trade.Cart: You have almost a thousand units of Relics floating in space, by the way.
[14.01.2022 21:58:46] DTR-CSS>Topo: M: Please pick them up
[14.01.2022 21:58:52] DTR-CSS>Topo: M: and follow me to the base!

[14.01.2022 21:59:13] UC/-Cacciadore-Noir: Tantu longu Corsari
[14.01.2022 21:59:21] Trade.Cart: Bien. Punching coordinates back to Xi.
[14.01.2022 21:59:35] DTR-Deliberation: Follow us.
[14.01.2022 21:59:36] DTR-CSS>Topo: M: Senor! It's below the horizontal plane!
[14.01.2022 22:00:04] Trade.Cart: Most intriguing.
[14.01.2022 22:03:25] DTR-CSS>Topo: Marco: We appreciate Gallic business Senor, feel free to come back for more!
The very persuasive Artifacts merchant on Crete was very adamant not to take the goods back to Provence with me, but rather that Planet Manhattan has a short term spike in demand for the Artifacts now.
I have indulged the stranger, and under the flag of our Ùn hè micca una Cumpagnia Frontale S.P.A. legal merchant front company went to smuggle the Artifacts to the planet.
And sure enough, the merchant was not lying - these are belli prufitti indeed!
I am not sure how long this demand will last, so if you want an easy job that pays way better than the nobody of a Count we just risked our lives for, I'd suggest you jump on the opportunity.
