This request is for any freelancers within range of this communications. Our ship is currently within the Omega - 41 system and in need of supplies and basic materials for repairs and much needed maintenance.
I know you may have several questions as to the nature and the specifics, but for now, all I can request is a communication dialogue that will put some much needed credits in your accounts.
I'm also betting that repeat business will dissuade anyone from trying to take advantage of a ship in need.
We are currently needing roughly 1500 units of the combined cargo.
Once you deliver the cargo to a specified location, you will be given 34 million credits and hopefully other offers of this nature in the future.
Where in Omega - 41 you say? Not at any base, somewhere in deep space.
We will provide the coordinates once we have contact of assistance in this matter.
Sometimes, when all you want is to gain your freedom, you must be willing to risk it all.

Hello there pilots,
I'm Randall Colby and your transmission caught my attention. So, do you roughly need all these stuff!? Well... can be yours as soon as you receive my message. Depends only you!
But let's check again the bill:
50 Scientists from Cambridge Research Station (Cambridge) x 500 SC / unit = 25.000 SC
150 Crew from Aland Shipyard (Omega 3) x 2000 SC / unit = 300.000 SC
300 Food rations from Planet Cambridge (Cambridge) x 64 SC / unit = 19.200 SC
200 Water from Planet Cambridge (Cambridge) x 15 SC / unit = 3.000 SC
200 Basic alloy from Philadelphia Station (Pennsylvania) x 239 SC / unit = 47.800 SC
100 Optronics from Planet Honshu (Honshu) x 298 SC / unit = 29.800 SC
300 Bio-Neural Processor from Leduc Station (Alberta) x 259 SC = 77.700 SC
200 Nanocapacitors from Planet Hamburg (Hamburg) x 259 SC / unit = 51.800 SC
That cost me exactly 554.300 SC. If you are willing to pay 34 million as you said, the profit is equal to 33.445.700 SC. Not bad at all! Ok! Currently I'm docked at Freeport 5 and honestly, I'm a little bit tired, so... after I finish my beer, probably I will take a nap, but this channel remain open. If you got my message, let me know where you want to deliver these commodities and all those crying babies, called by you "scientists".
Oh, and... the most convenient time for me to make the deal is today - december 12 - between 16:00 SMT and 19:00 SMT, or tomorrow - december 13 - between 06:00 SMT and 19:00 SMT. Also, keep in mind: I can't afford to keep these stuff in cargo too much, so please send me the coordinates and all details until tomorrow evening, 18:00 SMT.
And don't forget the money!!!

Thank you for your response Mr. Colby. Difficulty with bouncing communications off so many comm sats the time delay is quite amusing.
If there is any constant in the universe it's a Freelancer's drive to be paid and I wont short change you.
Once you arrive in Omega 41 you will be given location coordinates. Close range communications will not occur and system wide comms will be limited to location pings. Sorry for the cloak and dagger bit but it does add that flair of adventure in it all doesn't it?
So we know, what is your ships registered name and type? We'll keep and eye out for it then.

Hello again pilots,
It's good to hear you are still there. As I said before, I'm already in Omega-41 system, with all stuff needed for repairing your ship. The call-sign of my vessel is "Pensacola". It's a CT-53 class transport, usually known as "Heron". Check the attached screen:
If you'll give me the location coordinates of your ship, I can go there and once that I'll appear in your radar range, we can establish a communication using a more secure protocol. By the way, I found at Freeport 5 station some interesting business opportunities and I decided to stay around for a while. So, I am looking forward to your response.

Mr. Colby we really hope you would not contact local stations in the system as to our whereabouts. It would cause things to be, more difficult for us in the long run.
We've sent out, on another channel, our current location. We'll hold here as long as we can but Corsair patrols are starting to narrow down our location and we will need to relocate soon.
I can only hope this communication gets to you in time.

Hello pilots,
Corsairs, you say!? If they are not your friends, it makes me feel safe and that's a very good thing. However, your tone seems very seriously and I'm just wondering what kind of ship you have there and... who are you, guys? Maybe I should hire an escort?
What the hell am I saying? I'm Randall Colby! No, no, no... Let me explain some things. I'm a freelancer trader. I've learned from experience that the greater part of my job is about how to keep a secret. It doesn't matter what reasons you have to not disclose your location. As long as you pay, I will be wherever you want, ready to deliver whatever you want!
So, don't worry about that! You can count on my discretion in this matter. Right now, I make a final check of the engines. After that, I will set the coordinates and put the ship on autopilot. I will be there in time, that's for sure.
See you soon, mysterious pilots!
