To whomever this may concern.

I'm Chief O'Reilly, with the Provisional Republic Fleet. You've been hailing our ships during your visits to Dublin, and offered your help to our movement. Sure, we might have jobs for interested ship captains.

But introductions first. Let us know who you are and what you can do for us, so we might discuss further.

Well hey there, Chief!

I was starting to wonder when - and if - you'd dial back. Got me worried Dublin fell silent in it's most trying times. Glad to be wrong. Name's Nicole, we on the Phaeton are a band of like-minded individuals owning a small logistics group. An informal one, so we don't exactly exist outside of our own neural net handlers. What we can do for you depends on what you need - we've a legal upfront and we don't get caught at "illicit" activities.

But that we don't get caught doesn't mean we're not discreetly dealing with the other side. And Molly gold's been a nice haul. So, what can I slip in between patrols?

~Nicole.
