Jimmy,

Got a job for you. A large one. Two, maybe three transports all at once. Obviously, no questions asked, and I'll meet whatever price you put on the job. Nuclear devices, eight thousand of them, delivered to a station as soon as possible.

You interested?

Sincerely
Knight Captain Stenn

Jimmy,

Glad to hear it. Coronado system. One of us will guide you into a facility there where you will be able to offload the goods. Payment will be transferred once we've confirmed full delivery to the location. Sound good?

I think I can work with that, those Devices don't come cheap or small. It's goin' to take at least six transport full loads to get what you need.
My price is 50 million, sound fair?

Ciao.

Jimmy,

Not only is the price reasonable, it's possible I may have more work for you, and your special talents almost immediately after this job. I'll pay you on site. See you soon.

Jimmy,

Well it certainly seems like you boys live up to the rumours about you. I can confirm that all the required items were delivered, and 3 days ahead of expected. I'm so impressed in fact, that I can't help but pass along some information to the new administrator of Freeport 2. Congratulations on that by the way, and good luck, you're gonna need it.

We're still busy compiling the reports containing all the information I have for you, but I'm sure a bit of a tease might get you interested and potentially save you some trouble.

Bering has recently seen a marked decline in lawful activity, and a spiked increase of rogue elements. I'm not suggesting these are dangerous to one as politically savvy as yourself, but a warning does seem fair. The separatist group Harmony seems to have heavy presence in the area, alongside the Unioner's group. Preliminary scouting of the system hasn't revealed any installations as of yet, however the numbers of these groups present in the system lends to the assumption that there must be at least a forward operating base present.

I'm leaning more to it being affiliated with the Unioner's due to Harmony's precarious situation and lack of resources. Of course, I could be wrong, and they might simply be using your station as a refugee before heading deeper into the neighboring systems.

Either way, I'd advise caution when dealing with either faction. Good luck out there.

Sincerely
Knight Captain Stenn

Yeah we work fast, when the money's right.

Thanks for that Freeport 2 ain't a bad place, it just ain't a good place, and from what I've been told this joint has always been heavy on the rough types. Before it had folks from Texas and Hamburg comin' in to balance it all out, now since the other gate went pop we're gettin' more and more of the dodgy kind comin' to resupply but I appreciate the warnin' all the same.

Ciao.
