Mellark, I got mission for you, and you will guess it, it's supply one.
I'm trying to get into good relations with local unlawful faction called "Unioners", and I guess, you heard about them too. I've offered you to supply them, and they accept it, I know I done that without your knowledge but I had no other choices, and time was running. If you do that, I might get good info about Rheinland Operations while I'm away in Taus, I'm currently Tau-29, but I'm planning on moving away from there to pick up some intelligence data on something in Bretonia and Gallic Territory. Bring medical stasis bands and some some maybe pharmaceutical pills? I don't know, and drop it exactly at Heisemburg Research Station, in Cologne.
And on second thing, I would really need your help in.. well.. in money support, I'm aware that after deals and deals you have made a lot of money, maybe even billions.. and that's why I need your help. I need you to run through trade routes, make us money so we can continue buying fuel for our ships, and our Battleship.. our private neural net bank, which is under my control, account is getting smaller and smaller everyday as we are paying a lot for food supply and fuel supply, crew doesn't get paychecks because.. well, we are deserters, who would want paychecks when we are fighting for good of Liberty? Send money to Bank.Account.0498 if you want to help me.
This is about our survival, Mellark, survival of the Battleship, and Liberty, maybe.

Lucas Edison! I hope your Battleship is now alright, last time it was a mess, I remember. Glad to see ya' alive.
First thing of course, will do, I'm not angry or anything, I'm happy to do some.. free operations for you, as I still have a debt after you saved from those wretched pirates in New York.. and, I was being bored of great gold ore trade route that I was takin' on. A lot of time spended you know..
And for money support, I sended you to the account almost 100 million credits, that's what I made from that gold run, so you can buy fuel and food supply, same, as I have a dept of honor until my last days of my life! *happy voice can be heard*
This is enough, I think, see ya around, Edison, safe flight with getting intel on.. something, of course, for me, secret. And don't reply to this, alright? I want you to focus on that!
New Berlin, system and planet, heart of the great house that is "Rheinland", by its planet, a shipyard called "Oder", and with it, station "The Ring", connected to each other create great pride for Rhinelanders, about their power, economical strength and more. David Mellark, Captain of the "Serenity"-class transport "Rising Sun", was performing new trending trade route of gold ore, which is popular for both Rheinland corporations and Freelancer ones, from Dublin to New Berlin, paying good money. Mellark sadly isn't happy sometimes to see Gallic Corporations, flying around the Rheinland, sometimes even being racist to them, but he tries to calm down to do not attract authorities. At the time of receiving message of Lucas Edison, captain of Liberty Dreadnought that escaped it's House and Military, was sitting in the bar, drinking Rheinbier, at least trying it, and it didn't taste like he thought it was.
Lucas said about getting "medical stasis bands and maybe pharmaceuticals pills", and it was for unlawful faction called "Unioners", which he was aware of, as between Liberty Separatists and Unioners broke out a war, which is he doesn't know, if it's continues or not. But he didn't cared, he wanted to get his conscience be free again, Lucas saved him from death, which he thought was his last moments in Liberty, he doesn't want to fail him now. David exiting message, went into article law of Bretonia, as he remembered about stasis being tagged as contraband, and he was right. Thinking, David came up with idea of calling his old childhood friend, which is currently working as transport captain for Cryer Pharmaceuticals, and he didn't speak to him in four or three months or so. Mellark best shot to get it done is there to take it. David got up, and he started to head up to shuttle, when he was in ship, he proceed to bridge, where all officers, which controlled needed things were there, he told them to get out for the time being, officers surprised walk out. Mellark clicked few things to finally call his friend, Vance Wilson, with some silent in bridge, he voice came over the private channel: "Is it my good old friend, David Mellark? said Vance with happy voice to hear his friend "Of course it is! I'm calling because I need help, I don't have time to talk about it." said Mellark "Oh, I see.. what do you need?" asked Vance with not surprised voice, he helps people all the time across the Sirius with medications "Thats a bit shady.. well, deal" said Mellark, continuing his words: "My friend requested to transport some Medical stasis bands to Cologne, for some tests, problem is, Bretonia considers it a contraband, and Licenses to get it would really.. REALLY, be long to get, and he wants to test it now in two weeks, and as you are "Mastood"-Super Transport captain, could you bring me one five thousand load? As he wants that number." said Mellark, praying to god to say yes "Hm.. yes, thats a bit shady little deal, I can buy them on Cambridge Research Station, then bring them to you, by one of the mining facilities there.. I think? Anyway, crew of my transport is very little, 75% is crew of Sirius robots from Aland Shipyard when it was still under control of.. a.. IMG, and crew is really trusting me enough to make that kind of.. thing." said Vance, continuing with: "So yes, I can help you with it, meet me in Cologne tomorrow, by the Refinery that is there." Mellark was happy, he could finally do something again for Edison tomorrow. "Thats all, Vance, thanks for help." as he said that, Vance private channel connection broke, he took intercom to let every officer in again to let them work. He still needed to brief his officers, and most importantly, crew about the.. shady deal, that is coming..
Cologne system, where the industrial cape abilities are about to show up, as in the near future because in that system there is a planet, and it's being under terraforming, opening new abilities for Rheinlanders and Rheinland itself. Mellark heard about some polls, saying that "80%" of Rheinlanders are now support peace for some reason, as the BDM is withdrawal from conflict for some reason, but it's a political problem, not Mellark problem for now.
David has already briefed crew about transporting some "goods" for some unlawful faction that is called "Unioners", that were medicals. He told them that his friend will bring first load, that were Medical stasis bends. They waited for few hours before a Cryer Pharmaceuticals Mastood came into location, with surprise, with no escorts "This is Cryer Super Transport Captain, Vance Wilson, to the Rising Sun, is your captain available, over?" said Vance over radio "I'm here, Vance, so about the deal, can you transfer for us now three thousand units for now? We can't hold five thousand here. said Mellark, over radio too "Sure, no problem, I will order crew to open airlock with cargo hold, alright?" says Vance, Mellark smiles and waits few minutes until cargo is shooted out in space, Mellark orders to catch it with tractor beam before somebody catches load and they were successful. "Okay.. now wait for us, Wilson, alright?", as he said that, Mellark turned around, "Set course for that research station!"", Navigator nodded, setting course for Research station, they arrived there without problem, as they approached research station, they requested to dock and that requested was accepted pretty quick.
When they docked, they unloaded bends into station, telling one crew member to guard it until they not return with another load, which was two thousand left, and they were done with first part of the mission that Lucas requested. Rising Sun returned to Captain Vance of the Cryer Transport. The return to the transport was pretty fast, Captain Wilson already ordered crew to shoot out cargo out of the airlock, Mellark only needed to: activate tractor beam and catch. "And thats the last load, David. said Vance over radio "Yep, it is, thanks for the help, you helped us a lot.", as he said that, Vance turned the ship around to initiate trade lane sequence, before did that he said to Mellark: "Adios, Mellark!" after that, his super transport initiated trade lane sequence, leaving the are of the Wuppertal Refinery.
Mellark again setted course for Heisenberg Research Station which is a small freeport, which can stay from time to time. As they approached station again, they did the same thing: requested to dock and station would accept it. Mellark himself and few crew members unloaded the stasis bends off the ship, to the station. He noticed two people, talking to each other, but he didn't cared, but then, two of them started to approach him.
As the man were approaching, they looked like being armed. He carefully, took his hand to blaster holster, in-case of trying to somebody murder him or kill him. "Hello sir, we are looking for a man, or maybe a ship of his." said man, with a scar on his face, Mellark didn't trust the man, "I see, what his name, then?" asked Mellark, still his hand on holster of his blaster. "David Mellark, Captain of the Rising Su-" before second man could end, his crew behind and Captain himself took out blasters, two man, took their hands up "Who are you, and what do you want?" said Mellark, with his face serious enough to shoot these guys head off.
"We are Arbeiters of Unioners, we are here for the medical supplies!" said man, with his hands still in the air "Jesus christ." said Mellark turning his head around "Stand down, it's friendlies, continue unloading." said Mellark, taking his blaster to holster "I could have shooted both of you, almost." two man looked at eachother "You would, mister." said the other man. "We've been sended by Gunda Riehl to take cargo to our base, is this all of you have?" asked man with a scar on his face "Well, we've been told to bring pharmaceuticals pills too.. so we are not done yet."said Mellark, with a smirk on his face. "Lucky you, because, this station sells them by the commodity trader." said man, David was happy, as he could finally done the job that Lucas gave him.
Mellark went up to the commodity trader to talk him, he bought five thousand units for them. Unioners, also know as "Arbeiters" were happy, and loaded cargo to their ships, and flew off to unknown space or even station in Cologne. Mellark ordered his crew to go back to his transport, in bridge, they undock into space, where they flew off to some other system. And meanwhile, Mellark writed a transmission to Lucas, alerting him that he ended what he requested.
