or may I call you Bob? I did not forget about our talk in Stuttgart a few days ago. Since then I have returned to Crete, and I've looked up some jobs for you. For now, I chose easier ones.
Your job is to deliver metals and minerals from the Gallia sector to Planet Crete. If you succeed with these shipments, I can offer you more complicated ones, which of course will also grant you a higher pay. So in a way, this is a test, to find out if you can be worked with. Take all the time you need for the contract, there is no hurry, but make sure you do it right, and keep quiet about it. The Corsair patrols should not bother you much, if they do, tell them to contact me and I'll sort it out.
You'll find the list of the needed materials below, choose your favourites and start when you're ready. I'll hear from you soon, good luck.

Well hello there Miss Lucia,
Now this is a surprise! I did not expect you to follow up on our Stuttgart encounter at all, let alone so quickly but I'm happily surprised. I mean, it's been... four days now? Honestly, most of the time when people offer me a job while meeting in space they never call back. I always tell myself that it's merely because they see an old man on their comm screen and therefor pretend to be nice.
Anyhoo, I like the fact that you do not treat me like just another geriatric person and actually picked some easy ones for me to start with. Having said that I do have my age and therefore like to take my time while hauling stuff from A to B. And it's not because I'm old or slow it's mainly because after more than 40 years in space I know that when you take the time it takes, it takes less time. Speaking of time, I'm pretty sure I can make some available from the usual corporate routes and spend it on delivering you the stuff you need.
I will let you know when I'm done with the deliveries and will file a full report in the end.

Good evening Miss Lucia,
As I had some time and had to be in Gallia anyways I managed to get the goods you requested. The trips were quite uneventful and were only delayed by the occasional ION storm. Apart from that, I'm sure Eduardo Morono can confirm the deliveries yet as I know he often forgets after a few drinks I have some proof of delivery because, like you mentioned earlier, it is a test.
You managed to surprise me, well done. I did not expect you to be this quick, but I appreciate it. Even more I appreciate that you managed to complete the job without causing unneccesary attention. My congratulations, you have passed the test. Furthermore, you have proven capable of completing the tasks without questions or excuses. I think we can work with you. I will make sure to find another job for you in the foreseeable future. I will also look up something for the rest of OSI, but it could take some time until we start larger projects.
I will let you know when I have something. In the meantime, I have transfered the credits to your account.
It has been some time, but now I finally found another job for you. Not neccesarily as easy as the last one, but you should be able to handle it. I think you are just the guy I need for this job, so better prove me right.
The details for the job are as follows: I want you to deliver some goods to Tripoli Shipyard. They are needed for ship construction works. However, I need you to be careful with this. I can't have those shipments be on the official records. Nobody is supposed to know that this has happened. So if anyone, especially another Corsair, asks you about this shipment, you need to come up with something smart. If you've reached Tripoli without any followers, you can direct the cargo containers to my personal storage unit. There will be Black Flag personnel available at Tripoli to help you with that. You can trust them. To compensate you for these added struggles, I have increased the pay a little, to help with the motivation.

Good morning Miss Lucia,
That's a nice shopping list you got there. I'll gladly take the job for sitting at home during holiday season bores me to death.
I'll better be getting underway and no worries, I'll be careful.
Have a great day miss Lucia, I will contact you when I'm done.

Good day Miss Lucia,
I hope this messsage finds you well. I'll keep it brief as I know a lot of people celebrate the new Sol attending a party .
All requested items have been delivered and just like last time, it was quite uneventful and I don't recall anyone seeing me offload at Tripoli. The Black Flag loadmasters were friendly enough to let me offload the items myself after the second run.
Below you can find the proof of delivery as well as the scanner showing all clear on each delivery.
You sure have proven to be reliable. You are quick and quiet, just the way I like it. If those are the values the rest of Omicron Supply Industries shares, you seem like the right pick for the future missions. But don't worry, you will have enough time for your celebrations.
Enjoy your time off, there will be more work soon. In the meantime, I have transfered your credits.
