Hey, Jaina,

I'm gonna be informal like that, hope you don't mind. It's kind of an informal setting out here.

So, Bristol. I know a little about your company. I've stopped by your station in Bering a few times too, it's not a bad place to go as a lone traveler looking for a stop in the area. Not a lot of drama. I'd hate to see the big corps moving into our corner of space, I feel like that would ruin the vibes Ontario has. Low-key, off-the-grid, no big operations with big budgets, big fleets, and lots of attention drawing. I guess you're not really like that, so that's nice.

About us. We don't consider ourselves Zoners, although I guess the line between unaffiliated drifters and whatever "true" Zoners are is pretty blurry. We also make our living collecting junk from the debris sea, and ice from the Georgian. Some days you find something nice, sometimes it really is just junk.
We've got some basic workshops set up to sort through the loot and melt it into things people want to buy, and a growhouse to make food for us and our guests.
Freeport stuff, basically.

Anyway, I just don't want a situation where we find something good, like a mostly intact ship or a sealed container or something, and then we get a bunch of better-equipped, maybe better armed people coming in to take it from under our noses. We don't have a lot of people, or money, or ships.
As for the local Junkers, they visit occasionally. There might be some that are interested in intruding on our business, but we've got other local connections that can squeeze them if necessary, namely the Xeno Alliance. We've got an arrangement with them, and if you want to work out here, you better have one too. Those guys are hardcore and absolutely will not tolerate people who won't cooperate.
I don't know if they'd specifically go after someone to do me a favor, but you know. That's a thing that might come up some day.

As long as we just do our things in peace, separately or maybe together if we can organize some coop work, I guess we won't have any problems. We weren't planning to do anything with Toronto specifically, and probably won't in the future either.

Otherwise, you should check out our stock, we've got repairs, food and drink, travel supplies, the usual stuff, and we've got a cozy little bar if you want a place to relax.
Guess we'll be seeing each other more.
