Hello there,
I do not think I know your name but I will keep calling you Gossamer.
So, as spoken some days ago, changing the IFF of my current ship, to who I need to talk to? You told me that the ''New Dawn'' do not particuliary like bounty hunters. If I can get rid of it, it will be helpful to not being shot, don't you think?

Well, hello there, battle angel.
So, you're looking to change your papers and signature? Well, I'm not exactly an expert in these matters. Something like this would fall more under the purview of the Lane Hackers or some other group that specializes in technological matters. Fortunately for you, I happen to have some connections to people that might be able to falsify records, change transponders, that sort of thing. I'll put in a word with some old friends, call in a few favors... y'know, the usual.
I'll be in touch with good news and an invoice, or bad news for free.

Gossamer,
You told me you were going on vacation the last time we saw each other. I bid you have a great time.
However, around Andorra, I have just met three people. Maybe you know them or maybe not. Those are the vessels around the station: Saraswati.-[Fae, A/)-LV-Arcturus and RV-Pennybrooke. Anyway, I told them my story and the reasons why I was there and as I figured, they found me dangerous.
I can understand that and even if I would explain to them, their thoughts couldn't be changed. So here a question, how can I prove them that they can have faith in me?

Not to worry. I just sent a followup to my man.
Sorry about the long wait. Personal affairs have a funny way of keeping one apart from the world at large, y'know?

New update. I'll let you read it yourself.

Look. It wouldn't matter if I got to upload a new soft into that ship, or if I gave Anna a new name to stand by. It is a Hammerhead. That will begin to raise suspicions on its own. I'm not saying I can't do it, but it might prove to be redundant in the long run depending on how she plays her cards. Whatever...I've got two options for you. For her.
First option would be to entirely drop out the ship. The Underworld doesn't really like Bounty Hunters. Whether they picked up on the profession as time went on or they turned on their former brothers in crime isn't my concern - (much). People like the Rogues, Mollys and so on, though? They'll care more about the fact that she's flying a Bounty Hunter ship more than whatever the hell her transponder says. The authorities are also going to look twice at her. This will cost you...nothing. Because I don't need to do anything.
Your second choice is marginally more expensive compared to the first. I'd be helping out a "former" Bounty Hunter which may or may not get me into trouble, which is a risk factor. Then we've got the whole "cleaning" process. Ship's don't exist out of nowhere. I will have to "clean" it entirely, and then add some inconspicuous background. Small things so the ship blends in and doesn't look like a poorly done attempt at hiding a stolen ship. Then we've got some new identity papers to do for Anna. Something to declare her as the owner of that Hammerhead. All of this comfortably adds up to 122,000,000 Credits already, which isn't that high considering you're getting premium "services". That is without taking into consideration whether you want all of this - (the identity papers, mainly) - to be valid throughout Sirius or just a designated region.

Hey Nine. Once again, I'm sorry for the delay. Things have just been... hectic.
Anyways, in addition to the 122 million he's asking, he'll need 25 million to make it work Siriuswide. Once you send me the money, I can get the gears turning again on this.
