INCOMING TRANSMISSION
ENCRYPTION: None.
SOURCE: Is an Adventure Stick. Designed for danger. So, why don't you go ahead and have yourself a little lady break, and we'll just take it from here.
SUBJECT: Please wave to your partner.
I've been thinking about it for a while. Turns out, currently there are no better job offers. If you are still in, this is the time to discuss things in details. Such as the rental car, your exact needs, possible rewards and promotions. All the important stuff. Don't be shy, tell me what do you have on your mind.
INCOMING TRANSMISSION
ENCRYPTION: None.
SOURCE: Is currently experiencing technical difficulties due to circumstances of minor significance, yet beyond control.
SUBJECT: Has failed so many times in this test, I thought he was becoming human!
You never run when others tell you to do so, allright. And here i was, thinking that we can simply flee and discuss business instead of... well, fiddling with your funny visitors. Is there funny little something you are willing to tell me about, by the way?
Anyhow, please don't feel too bitter. I managed to grab a handful of stuff right before i was forced to slip away. Nice flowers on top, just what the girls like. Most of it can also be sold on black markets, but seeing you as my potential employer... Well, we were curious about what could you offer. We could not resist checking.

“'Damn it John, they could replace your flesh with an equivalent volume of iridium and you wouldn’t be as valuable.
I appreciate you saving the flowers. Sensitive touch, Silver.
What you’ve got there’s an active artefact – No question of it, we ran your survey data up to Ekloss and it’s riddled with juicy emissives we’d expect out of something valuable, powerful, and nightmare-inducingly dangerous. I’ll be bootling your request for something covert out in the boondocks now that you’ve carted that bastard around the wide blue yonder.
I’d be willing to cut you in.
You’ve been reliable enough that the Union’s plotting – with a little nudging on my part – to give you permenant ease-of-access on our stations for vessel maintainence and repair. Just tell us what you need and we’ll gun it over to you.
We’ll be a-fiddling with your ship to build a transponder spoofer unit – nothing fancy or indiscreet, but it’ll get you from A to F without sticking your arse out of your long-johns. It’s up to you how prepared you are to frick around with your freighter’s power systems.
Oh, I’ll be sending a crate of Hamburg’s finest up with the gift package. You’ve earned it, mate."

SUBJECT: Your ping tool can also be used to indicate to your partner where you would like them to be.
Thanks, i also like my valuable flesh. Please, don't actually try replacing it with stuff.
With all the sweet words, i am starting to think that i like Your valuable flesh, too. Probably even more than i like iridium. Glad to see You are fond of presents, Gunda. Just... You know, don't try anything nightmare-inducingly dangerous with those at home. Like some other humans usually do.
I appreciate You trying to make those drydocks slightly wet for me. However, i will, indeed, need more than just this much. I've already checked those Zurich and Pick-a-deer places before. Made some maps, too.
As useful as those are, You can see that both-of-us-know-what is missing in both-of-us-know-where. And i can easily guess more ways in which my maps are outdated. So, unless You are fond of... well... huge rocks and more huge rocks and maybe something that is unknown, or willing to put a nice poster on the wall and shout "Ye-e-ey, gallic sector!" while making somewhat silly yet cute face, like those kusarian schoolers...
Well, i think You got the idea. At least two radioisotope thermoelectric generators, good old Plutonium-238 or Americium-241GPHS-RTG units, with maximum output of no less than 600 W in electrical and 5000 W in thermal power to feed my bird. Much better if you can get me three or four of those to use for backup plan. Nickel–cadmium batteries array in hermetic sealing to feed the important stuff onboard in case anything goes wrong. Enough food, water and oxygen to feed me for... let's say, two months. Fresh clothes, too. Data storage units to record what i find. Backup data storage units to record what i record. Last but not least, transponder spoofers from a gallic freighter. I don't care which ones, just make sure that local law-fools won't swarm around me because of it. Maybe add some gallic-origin scanning equipment, unless you are fine with funny unknown brick-shaped things on records and lots of data processing later. Maybe add some videogames and movies, too, so i won't feel bored on the trip. Maybe even add Your own photos, so i will feel even less bored. Don't be shy, my bird can fit 300 metric tons of cargo, add a fighter wreck and memorial flowers on top - and it will still fly fast, with minor problems on sharp turns.
I understand that this is a lot, and it may take time and efforts to arrange everything. Just let me know when and where should i arrive to stay overnight.

“'Gorgeous pieces of neuralnet cartography. I'll be sending them northbound to the Pacifica node. They'll break it down and get you a detailed answer soon."
"We're codenetworking a transponder spoof for your vessel. Should keep it clandestine."
"Oh, thanks for nabbing my pod again. That little pavlovian experiment went pretty well. I've got some mean images of Tech-cracker and Seppie collabing and my wingmate got the BDM en-bound. That'll crack them like an egg when we leak it to the Xeeners."
