Taskmaster Harold Kane, glad to meet you. I would really appreciate if the Octavarium can help us, and me more precisely. Obviously you will be paid but we will talk about that later. The commodities board has been updated.

Actually, around 50% of the total commodities have been delivered.
Today we got interesting shipment from one of our smuggler ships. Two shipments, actually. Both consists from Ablative Armor Plates, with second containing army corp worth of used small arms.
Ablative plating - one of major exports for both Alster Shipyard and Wedel base. This is not coincidence, so I arranged some deliveries with captain Nobbs, using one of old mining Behemots. At the current time that armor rests in Pacifica stockpile, and You, Captain, may take and use it.
As for small arms, I received reports about missing cashes from Weber, but seeing that he delivered armor for free... Wait, where that blood diamond crates?
Ohshitohshitohshit!

"I used to not care. I just went along with orders and hoped that everything would work out for me. But after all that's happened, you know what I've learned? It's not about hating the guy on the other side because someone told you to. I mean, you should hate someone because they're an asshole or a pervert or a snob, or they're lazy or arrogant or an idiot or a know-it-all. Those are reasons to dislike somebody. You don't hate a person because someone told you to; you have to despise people on a personal level." - Private Leonard L. Church
Arbeiter Travis Doyle, the Armor has an excellent quality according to the Pacifica engineers. The supplies are going pretty well and with that we can achieve the global exteriors and internal repairs. I personally asked to one member of my crew to buy a little transport which can supply fast and well. As consequences, the Manifolds and the High Temperature Alloy have been completely delivered. The commodities board has been updated.
I don't know what kind of reaction is expected from a man who realized that valuable supplies he's been delivering are meant to support the cause of a man that shot and killed his men. You participated in a shameful assault on our relief convoy, vaporizing medical supplies and goods that were meant for wounded civilians onboard Pacifica. Several Legionnaires died in that attack. We have started an open conflict with the Battlegroup Harmony because of actions of you and your colleagues. And now you dare to speak to me? You dare to ask me for help? You dare to discuss terms with me? You should be crawling and begging for forgiveness. You know what? I'd be coming to Pacifica to smack you this moment if the Unioners did not vouch for you.
I won't be wasting my time or my breath on this any further. I expect to receive a nine-digit sum to GG-A-Venom within a fortnight as compensation for Cohort losses, as well as delivered goods.
In fact you are not so wrong. I was indeed leading the blocus of Pacifica at the right beginning of the War. That is why I am not leading it anymore
I killed some of your Legionnaires, yes. But what could I have done then ? I was a soldier, a puppet of the Admiral Lindord. I know her since some time but weirdly she doesn't show any affection for their most high ranked officers.
I am not so cruel or a war criminal. You have the proof before you. I am not in Harmony anymore. I left it, because I couldn't support indeed the actions of Harmony. But a thing like that take time. Many time. I couldn't refuse to obey at first. It would have been useless. Lindord would have killed me. And she would have found a new person to do that crimes instead of me anyway.
Feel free to trust me or not. I am not here for the people trust me or not. But I understand those words won't change the past.
I appreciate the supplies you have delivered. But tell you something, the Unioners have able to trust me. Why not you ? It was far hardest to convince the Union than the Gaians, given the main victimes of that war and of my actions were them.
You will receive the compensation in three days from now. It is up to you to end this or to begin a new start.
I think we may have a problem with our stock. Those hull panels you requested, they are patendet by ALG, and I won`t remind you about our relations with them. Alternative place to buy that stuff was Belfast Production in Newcastle, but waste hit the fan and status of that station is currently unknown.
I have an Idea. Remember those junkers who delivered superconductors? Strange lot those people, but they can help us with that. All I need is for you to... Well, they said that in more harsh word, but you have to tell them when and how much you will pay them for already delivered cargo plus 10000 units of nanocapacitors and 5000 units of ALG ship hull panels? Please? They already got my word for payment, and unloaded first shipment of nanocapacitors, but they told me that if we touch crates - whole werehouse will explode! Sniffers give negative on mines, but crates are closed, so all we have is hope, paranoia and manifest.
They asked for concrete sum, not credits per unit. And they want answer as soon as possible.

Only few resources are still needed. The issue you mentioned is quite annoying but as you said, the Junkers can help us once again.
I'm willing to pay the Junkers within the 24 next hours from now. You can ask them if 20 millions is enough for them. I'm still able to increase the payement.
We will have other supplies to deliver soon, maybe in a different place than the current one. We haven't decided this yet.
No need to worry about it, they just delivered the rest. Somehow they got old hessian agitation, then used them for wrapping sandwiches, and only now they printed lists of delivered goods. I checked them, everything in good shape, even some food and spares on top of that. That is a lot of deliveries.
All goods already unloaded and ready for processing, exept food. Food will be distributed to emergency rations and kitchens.
Oh, and be quick about money transfer, junkers will change their ship name soon, they think Rheinland authorities may know about their breaching of Bering embargo.

Arbeiter Travis Doyle, this efficacity is pretty awesome. We have now all the needed resources to finish the general repairs of the battleship. Excellent work and we can thank the Junkers. Here is the money:
