Subject: Refugees

Dear Zoners,

My name is Ian Curtis, I am the youngest son of Lord William Curtis, Patriarch of the House of Curtis, from planet Leeds. We ran an Orbital Spa & Cruise subsidiary there, Greyhound Passenger Transportation, and still do, though the war between Kusari and Bretonia has quite ripped us from most of our resources.

As you may be quite aware of, this war is causing a lot of humanitatian damage in our system. As the battles continue, more and more people lose their relatives, their houses, and their belongings, becoming marginal population in the land they once called "sweet safe home".
And since resources are also scarce these days, we are finding dificulties in giving these people something as hope to cling to. To say the truth, we are begining to lose our own. After all we had to move to the Cortez system already. Although we are not in the planet ourselves for the time being, we still care for our people, and that is what has driven us to you on this particular ocasion.

My beloved zoners, heralds of freedom and keepers of wisdom, we need your help. I have heard that some of your bases are welcoming newcomers to settle and begin a new life there. This may be just what the war refugees of Bretonia are needing. If you could please tell me if this information is true, I would be very thankful. Should that be the case, we would also need information on how many people are you able to recieve in each base as for today, so we can arrange logistics so as to transport this people there as soon as possible. We have re-fitted a prison liner to be able to carry these refugees to their new homes.

Also, if there is anything you people may need from Greyhound P.T. , me or my family, do not hesitate in asking.

Best regards,

Cpt. Ian Curtis, Greyhound Passenger Transportation CEO

Hey there Ian.

Freeport 1's doors are always open. The station has been through a lot - used to be a den of criminals, and pirates - but a man named Patriarch kicked them all out. Ever since, the halls have been empty, and the people who live here are folks who enjoy a quiet and peaceful life.
We had some problems during the omega war - some good people died. So, we made some decisions, upgraded some things, and I would boast this place is more secure then some military bases.

Our population can hold a maximum of four thousand people - at present, we have roughly around seven hundred to a thousand citizens. So, we have plenty of room. Anybody who needs a home, doesnt mind a little space cold, and is not averse to a little hard work (this station has always been a fixer-upper) - then ya'll are welcome - anyone at all.

Lemme know what you decide, and Ill make arrangements.

Dane out.

Greetings, Captain,

Freeport 6 is a small facility, used mostly for passing traders and a few tired hunters and the occasional Outcast. Still, we live in peace.

We keep a good security and technical staff. If you wish, we can accomodate some of those people seeking new lives. Safely, we can take in about 300....for now. If you could, we could use extra provisions as we are provisioned for our current contingent.

So feel free to bring them by. I do ask that they not come armed as all weapons are checked at the door, no exceptions. And please do enjoy a drink at the "Deadbeat Cafe."

To: Commander Matok

Dear Commander,

I am glad to hear that you are able to welcome some Bretonian refugees in your freeport. It's proximity to Bretonia shall make it easier for them to feel at home. As your base is in Tau 29, we will take there 300 people coming from Planet Harris and Holman Outpost, for logistic reasons. Though our responsibility is with those who are citizens of Leeds, we will not forget that there are people suffering from scarcity and lack of home in Tau 31 also.

Do not worry, we will ship some goods along with transporting these refugees. I think it is very important that your base doesn't suffer an economic loss for housing them. We shall provide resources for the first few months of accomodation. These will come in the form of basic and secondary need goods, because at the moment we got no funds for monetary help.

Last, but not least, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your good will and unconditional philantropy. You will see our ship, GPT|The.Cure , arriving at your station soon.

Best regards,

Cpt. Ian Curtis, Greyhound Passenger Transportation CEO

Dear Mr. Summers,

I am sorry to hear all what happened to your station in this last times. On the other hand, I am happy to see that you have managed to keep it in one piece and made honor to the old Terran phrase "what does not kill you, only makes you stronger". I have always found the zoner way amusing, and when I heard about the problems on the Omegas felt nothing but deep greif. I guess not everyone here in Bretonia feels the same towards you, but from my point of view, your sovereignity should have never been questioned.

As for the matter that concerns us, I must say I am very, very grateful. It will make these homeless people happy to hear they are moving to safe grounds. After all that happened there wasn't a single day in which they went to sleep at night wondering if they would ever wake up.

As I told your coleague, Commander Matok, the refugees will be transported to your station along with some goods so your Freeport doesn't have to face by itself the burden of such an increase in population. By the way Mr. Summers, you say your Freeport can hold at least three thousand more people, but, do you think it's ok if I bring you all that people at once? Tell me the approximate number of refugees you can recieve now, and we will see how things develop when the station proves able to face such a change.

Best regards,

Cpt. Ian Curtis, Greyhound Passenger Transportation CEO

Good Sir,

While Ambassador Holliday will have to speak for Baffin as a whole,
our Sacred Temple at Pueblo Bonito could use several hundred gardeners,
food service employees, and other domestic help.

Be advised though that our Templar Guards can be a bit cranky at times.

I would suggest you deal with any "reputation" issues before attempting delivery.

Ian! Good to hear from you, I believe I speak on behalf of the FP10 Community and Steve Vontaan when I say we can accomodate some your folk, my estimate is 500 people, the station is need of repairs and we'd welcome new faces.

Fruit pickers and outside dome maintenance people are particularly in demand right now as we pick up productivity and repairs to the station.

Yours,

LeRoux

[Dane Summers]

At the moment, we can take two thousand in one go - then another thousand once the first group get settled in. Most of the work we can offer on Freeport 1 for folks involves maintenance, repairs, working the shops, etc. We have 4 docking bays, and 6 large hangars that used to offer full service repair and refuel stations - Now only one of those works - so any folks who like working on starships would find very lucrative work here.

Designate someone out of the first group who can lead & organize, and ill make sure our housing-and-planning board meets with him, to get everyone settled, and setup with work.

Take care out there.

Dane out.

We will get quarter ready for those new arrivals. If possible, we could use a few technical minded people here as we are undergoing some renovations. You know, folks good with a welding torch and engineer types. They will be handsomely paid for their work and they could well build additional quarter for more of their people later.

Many thanks,
Commander Matok

Dear Commander,

I assure you this are working people, ready to prosper, and no bum or criminal population. Among this people, there are renown citizens of their respective communities, such as politicians, scientists, scholars, and probably the ocasional musician. Of course there are low qualified laborers but you must need people like them also. "A doctor may not clean a toilet, but someone does" I think you will find there presence in your freeport useful and pleasant.

Arrengments are being made to take this refugees into the haven of Freeport 6 as soon as possible. A full report on the operation will be delivered to your desk when the peace mission is completed.

Best regards,

Dear Mr. Summers,

I am glad to hear that you are able to host so many refugees and adopt them into your population. I hope the clash of cultures does enlighten both Freeport citizens as well as the new comers, and not the opposite. In regard of this I want to assure you that if you find that the Freeport is not being able to adapt to the new citizens, I will help you adress this problem and ultimately will take care of re-positioning them, tough none of us wants that, after all they have been through.

I will send some trained leaders with the normal population, so the whole thing goes on as smoothly as possible.

Best regards,

Cpt. Ian Curtis, Greyhound Passenger Transportation CEO

To: Malaclypse

Dear Malaclypse,

I must say I did expect a message from Baffin, since we are Barrier Gate neighbours you Discordians and me. As always, it pleases me to see how good hearthed can people moved by faith be. We have already set teams of workers selected among the list of candidate refugees to conform a 555 people population to be taken to live in Pueblo Bonito. If Mr. Holliday thinks there would be another planet or base where some more could be welcomed, please tell me.

Kallisti! (I am sorry if this word doesn't mean what my advisors told me.

Dear Mr. Leroux,

Please don't take this badly but your transmission doesn't seem to come from Mr. Steve Vontaan. So in spite of being more than happy to hear you can host some 500 refugees, we have to pause the transportation of these people until the administrator himself gives us the details and authorizes the operation.

Best regards,

Cpt. Ian Curtis, Greyhound Passenger Transportation CEO

Fair enough Captain....I'm sure Steve Vontaan will be along in due course. A shame for me that you don't trust my word.. I was just trying to move things along for you as one with fully vested interests in FP10..... and your current predicament.

Yours,

LeRoux
