I've considered your offer for Laura's head. Though it's not credits that I want, but a particular set of skills in turning a wreck into an operational ship. Respond to this transmission if you're still interested and I'll brief you into the details.
Comm ID:Kevin Winston - Swipe Rank:Marauder To:Renee Thorpe Subject:Offer..
Hello dear Renee Thorpe,
I thought I would see a transmission from you soon. Anyway...the offer is still open like I have said before. As in the particular "wreck", you will have to tell me what exactly so I know what pile of scrap do I look for...hope to here from you soon, and to be sure...this deal is between me and you, not the Junker Marauders...*he smirks*
The wreck in particular is a BDR-804 "Guardian" Liberty Very Heavy Fighter and is located in the Hudson system near the deactivated Jump Gate's debris field. The right wing seems heavily damaged, I'm not sure if the engines would need a full replacement or just repairs and the ejection mechanism has been used, which means it needs a new cockpit hatch. Compared to the rest of the "debris" I could find it seems to be the one in optimal shape.
I believe you'll be able to locate and diagnose the vessel on your own from the information I've given you, but if you have any more questions - ask away. In the mean time I'll focus on my part of the deal.
Comm ID:Kevin Winston - Swipe Rank:Marauder To:Renee Thorpe Subject:Fighter Craft
Hello again Renee Thorpe,
Good to hear from you again. When I received your reply, I headed out to Hudson where you told me, and I think I found the exact wreck of what you described. The ships wing is heavily damaged, cockpit mechanism was used, and engine won't be repairable sadly. I've already started on the repairing of the craft, now just have to wait until the ordered things have come so I can get started. As for now, I'll be looking to replace the cockpit with some of the cockpits I have from other scraped fighters, and other things I might do to it to make it feel better then a newly made "Guardian". Have fun hunting..*he nods*
Evening,
Hopefully I'm not disrupting anything with this transmission at this hour, but I've finally got what you asked for. Found Laura in her new ship - a Series Z "Sabre", just like mine. She tried to buy herself out of things yet again, though I doubt she could have offered what I wanted. In a few minutes of fighting I managed to force her to eject right before her ship exploded. Sadly I couldn't get the pod as an extra, but she'll remember all this.
Below I'll upload my black box's recordings of the flight. Laura was inside the ship callsigned IMG|Sabre.Rattling and was nice enough to identify herself in return for knowing why I wanted to gun her down.

[24.03.821 21:26:43] IMG|Sabre.Rattling: And you think that the Guild could not do that?
[24.03.821 21:26:46] Renee.Thorpe: One that over 100 million credits of service to Liberty wasn't enough to get me.
[24.03.821 21:26:50] IMG|Sabre.Rattling: We have influence... in many regions.

[24.03.821 21:27:25] IMG|Sabre.Rattling: Because this time, I am not in a bomber.
[24.03.821 21:27:31] Renee.Thorpe: Certainly. It would be bad to turn down an accepted job.

[24.03.821 21:36:37] Renee.Thorpe: Hopefully we won't meet again anytime soon.
My end of the bargain is pretty much done. How are the ship repairs going? Did you manage to get that Border Worlds Engine you spoke of inside the Guardian frame and if so I'm interested to hear the results.
Comm ID:Kevin Winston - Swipe Rank:Marauder To:Renee Thorpe Subject:Finished Deal....
Ahh, hello again Renee Thorpe,
Was expecting a transmission from you sooner or later, and this came right on time. The Guardian Fighter has been repaired, new wing, modeled after the original wing, the cockpit, which I took from a Bounty Hunter Fighter wreck, fixed interior, new gauges, and the engine replaced with the one most Sabre pilots have. It's currently stationed on Invergordon Spaceport, and it is where I am currently at. I'll send you coordinates over private communication and you can pick it up. I'll tell the hangar patrol that you are gonna come and pick it up, I most likely won't be available to give it to you myself. I have a bit of a problem, and I can't leave it, so if you have more questions about the ship, feel free to ask. Safe skies, and thank you for the fine work...enjoy the ship... *he nods*
Just got the ship and everything seems in order. You've really done wonders to turn it from a wreck into a capable ship. Anyways in case you need a mercenary again do send me a transmission, I might be up for the job, who knows.
Comm ID:Kevin Winston - Swipe Rank:Marauder To:Renee Thorpe Subject:.......
Evenin' Renee Thorpe,
Glad to hear that the ship is fine and that you like it, and I thank you for the work you have done, I knew your piloting skills would take care of her sooner or later. Anyway, I got to go, I'll contact you again if I need someone dead.... *he smirks*
