Sirians,
you may hate us, and we hate you, but in dire times
such as these, we call on you. We lost something. It
is very important to us that we find it. It is an icon of
ancient times, from back when we started pillaging.
One of our greatest leaders fell in battle, and the only
thing reminding us of him was *takes deep breath* ...
[font=Trebuchet Ms]THE POD[color=black]
*exhales*
Anyone who might have seen this item and return it
intact, will receive a valuable reward in exchange.
*takes deep breath*
[font=Trebuchet Ms]THE POD[color=black]
*exhales*
was last seen in Sigma 13, in the southern sector.
It must be brought back to the flagship. Some of you
use rabbit paws as a lucky charm, we use dead,
stinky, rotting, inhumanely ugly and disgustingly
collapsing mummified leaders.
We wish you luck..

"Would an unambiguous statement really kill you, mate? Is it an escape pod or what? And what do you offer
as payment? I'm not an volunteer service, ya know?"

"Sequere Pecuniam"
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
I am no great friend of the Corsairs on the best of days, but I am not yet old enough to be unable to recognize an opportunity when it arises.
I will be more than willing to join the search for your "Pod" as soon as my ship is cleared to undock, and I will negotiate a reward upon discovering it (provided, of course, that someone else has not yet done so). I sincerely hope I shall be able to help you gentlemen. It may prove profitable in the future.
As always, I remain,
Yours with warmest regard,
Ian Throckmorton Searles, Captain
Independent Tradesman's Vessel Mary Celeste

"I hope you have something better to offer than a smile, a thanks and a handshake.
Or a lifetime subscription on artifacts. Offer comes BEFORE service, anything else is a waste of time... "
[color=#FFFFFF]Oh wow! A relic from the time when you started plundering! When was that? Last week? Yeah it's En Pe in my book it will probably fit the interior of my living room.
What's the reward by the way? A visit of the waste procesing facilites from the inside on that ugly ship of yours?
