Greetings Gentlemen,
Well, I am late as always "chuckles". My twin brother Josia beat me by two minutes back in the days, and it seems to have carried on that way. I am willing to wait for your answer for as long as it is convenient for you - do not rush on my account.
Nevermind. My name is Zebedia Vale, born lo these 58 years ago on Pittsburg, Liberty, raised since the age of 5 on Erie, Pennsylvania. Up untill couple of years ago I was a rancher there. Then things happened, the family came into some money, long story short - I got the space bug, bought a BWT cheap and went to see the Universe. Ended up on Gran Canaria, where got lucky again - someone was selling one of those big zoner Whale beauties for basically nothing - so I relieved him of his burden, he he. I got nephews around here, working for IMG, and the lads wispered some opportunities in my ear.
The point is, the space around in Bretonia is full of restrictions and gentlemen of the luck, I have little knowledge of the Border and Edge worlds, and I am a man of considerable age. I would like to let someone younger and more robust do the management, while I do the simple things, like flying around.
So, to the point - I am in possesion of two transports - A BWT with Zoner IFF/ID, and a Zoner Whale with the mandatory Zoner Guard IFF/ID. I would like to offer them and my services to OSI. Both ship's previous owners were mite unwize with their handling, which coupled with my attempts to repair things resulted in some bad reputation, mainly in Kusari space /and Rheinland for the Whale/. More information will be provided if needed.
Not possesing any bretonian licences and not willing to put my name in a police report, I am mainly lending my ships to my nephews in the IMG to be used as stationary cargo holds in Dublin and Tau 23, while I enjoy the company in the bar at Hood. The profit is not something to brag about, but a man of my age has learned patience.
Patiently waiting for your response /and sipping good Molly brew - boy these lads know their distilling/
Zebedia Vale, at your service
