Deputy Arbiter Wild Bill

Howdy,

I'm comin to you with some strange happenins. I was flyin through Texas other day an this feller stopped me. Was flyin a ship by the name of CV-Hoffnungsschimmer, an his name were Vertiga. Right off I scanned 'em, an he was appearin to be a Zoner. I were wrong. From the conversation we was havin I'm guessin they're ex-Core. Claims there's a group of 'em what ain't keen on what Core's been doin to Zoners. By the tone of the feller, I'm thinkin they're defectin from Core. Feller is askin fer some help with reprogrammin their ships. Ain't nobody better then yer folks in handlin technologies. I seen yer ships helpin the Zoners on Freeport 11 an I'm guessin anythin we can do to help 'em is somethin what'll interest you. Thing is, I ain't sure of this feller yet. Bein an ex-Core pilot is a hell of a story, but claimin to be 'gainst Core don't sound like somethin what happens all too often. I can't vet fer this feller, but if'n yer keen on aidin the Zoners with by helpin these folks, then I'm keen on arrangin a meetin fer you. Yoshida, I trust you, you ain't never done me wrong, an I hope I ain't steerin you wrong now. I'll send you the footage of our conversation attached to this here message.

Sincerely,
Wild Bill, Deputy Arbiter Junker Congress

Hello Mr Bill, I hope you are in excellent health.

Thank you for the notice however we have already received a message from these would-be defectors, and a meeting has been scheduled with one of my men. It is our duty to help those seeking freedom and a provide way out of totalitarian regimes such as the Core.

However their chances of success are not high, their movements are too loud and trust people who might not seek the best for them. I also think it's disrespectful to bother the Deputy Arbiter of Congress with their problems. You are a good man and I am sure you would never turn them down, however we both know there are more effective ways to spend your valuable time.

Finally, please inform Mr Valesquez that we our allocating resources and prioritizing the movement of cardamine from the Junkyard. It won't take long now.
