Hello, my name is Halpert Kennedy. A while ago I flew through the Baffin System on a job, a nice little place. But I digress. Wanting to purchase something from you. Well, make that three "somethings."
There's a station in Baffin that sells a Kali-Class light fighter. My records show it as Sedona Station. I wish to buy three of these vessels for my employer's use. If you're able to, I'd like them to be equipped with a standard armour upgrade and the best available molecular-grade shield.
If you can service this request, I'll owe you one.

Kallisti!
Apologies for the delay! The Polyfather has been out of his mind (par for the course) but also out of pocket as of late (mildly problematic). Every time we want to access the comms we need to play 20 questions with his password reminders. We all knew his favorite color was chartreuse, but it took us a while to figure out how to spell it. But if we weren't a group that could figure out how to do things on our own for a bit, we wouldn't be worthy of the A in TAZ. Or the T for that matter. The Z is always welcome to tag along, especially when triple letter scores are in play.
So, you wish to be a Knight of Sedona, eh? I've never paid much attention to the ship dealer there since I already have one and "commodore" is quite the mouthful compared to captain. If memory serves (which should be taken with a grain of salt), they're willing to sell their early birds to anyone with a worm. While I've always wanted to be a middle man, is something keeping y'all from coming to Baffin and sealing the dealing in the fleshing? We have a delightful gift shop with many a witty t-shirts to peruse. One size fits most!

. . An exasperated sigh is heard over the audio channel.
How lovely, it's you. Since I work for the Starfliers, I have to be somewhat nice. But for you, I'll make a small exception.
I don't like you very much. Even more so now after hearing about Burton getting arrested by the Liberty Police. There's been one constant with Burton's disappearance and capture, and it's been you as far as I'm concerned.
Heard stories from Leon about your time together before your accident. Does the trip to the Hispania ring any nostalgic bells? In any case, from what I've seen now, you're someone else. I'll hire a small team and grab the Kali-Class fighters personally. Don't waste your breath on me.

Kallisti!
Everything ok with your air system, friend of friends? Lots of irregular breathing coming through the comms. Meanwhile we have ample breaths floating around the Widdershins to spare, I wouldn't consider it a "waste" at all to send some your way! We're packaging them up as best we can in some bulk misprinted party balloons we got on Colorado. Seems they were supposed to say happy bat mitzvah. Either that or Rachel is now a surprisingly popular boy's name. Anyway, I'll leave a crate of mazel tovs for you on Sedona. It'll be bulky, but light.
As for Burton being arrested, the goddess smiles upon us! Springing him from Houston by legal/less-than-legal/blatantly illegal means is FAR simpler than finding a life-pod sized needle in a system sized haystack. Before it was a desperate race against time to save the life of an innocent, now it's a jailbreak! If you got a plan, let me know! Otherwise, I'll track down another goose for us. Pretty sure the previous one was the last of its species, but I think there are several related ones that are practically subspecies.
The Hispania was ghosts of goodtimes past, seems Houston is the spirit of goodtimes future. Now all I got to do is find the present, but I'm terrible at shopping for gifts.

As I said, someone else. Would have liked to meet you before losing the Breezewood.
Yes, the situation was quite a difficult one, for both the rescue teams and Burton himself. I'm happy enough he isn't dead. Now, tracking down a goose? Seriously? What's that got to do with anything? I fail to see how that relates to this plan you're expecting or wanting from me. I'd recommend not involving me in this at all. Don't want to get my ass dragged into prison for being involved in any form of jailbreak.
If you have any ideas - at all - keep them to yourself, or talk to Leon. I'll let him know myself that I don't want any part of this.
I'll kindly tell the docking master to keep the crates for whatever celebrations they have on board Sedona.
