Ident. Jadyn "Grimwolfe" Giles Recipient Die Rote Front Station Black Harvest Subject Engines Overhaul Request
A man appears on the communications screen. He stands in front of the camera, leaning forward on a console with his hands. His pupils showing a strange red glimmer, possibly a trick of the light.
Hello. My name is Jadyn Giles, or Grimwolfe if you prefer. I'm an independent Freelancer-slash-Mercenary operating within Sirius space. I've recently "acquired" a Bustard Civilian Carrier and have had it's registration updated so that I won't be so conspicuous flying around if you know what I mean. The providence of this ship began and ended with it being a rich idiots yacht instead of being utilized for what it is capable of. An unfortunate side effect of this is the fool never elected to do any maintenance upkeep on the engines systems. More than once I've had one, or several, engines fail in the middle of a contract. As such, I am reaching out to you as your engines have a reputation for being extremely reliable.
From what little I know of Engineering from my younger years, it looks like a complete breakdown of internals, nessisticating a complete replacement of the Engine Cones and Booster Control Assemblies. The Pressure Regulators and Pyro Valves are on their last legs as well which is no wonder considering the lack of regular upkeep by it's previous owners.
If you could lend a hand, I would pay well for this work to be completed. The providence of the ship makes getting this done at other locations difficult as anyone looking too close will note the discrepancies in the Transponders leading to difficult to answer questions or worse.
I can be near your location ASAP, provided you accept this contract. If not, I will source the parts and labor elsewhere. Until then.
The man bows slightly and the display is replaced with a brief logo of a wolf before terminating.
Transmission begins suddenly, and although the communication screen is not online, several voices can be heard chatting in the background and a bottle being slammed on the desk. "Frei! Hey! Did you hear this random Arschloch?!" The other man who is visibly preoccupied at his own desk throws a dismissive response. "Ja. Now, respond once you're sober or don't respond at all." Visibly frustrated, the other man starts haplessly pressing buttons on his station. "I'll have you know Kamerad that we're f*ckin free and equal men here ... hic! Verdammt which one was it. Ah, there she goes!" The screen comes online with a visibly intoxicated man speaking.
Is this thing working already? Hello?! Huh. Ja, Guten Tag Kamerad! yada yada ... hic! Unfortunately, we don't give a rat's arse about your little toy, we don't know you and we do not trust you, unless the pay is right. You see, we got a little situation here, the drydocks are available but we run short on materials and a good chunk of the crew was already transferred to ...
"Don't. I warned you." The other man suddenly interjected. "Right, right. Where was I?" He resumes the transmission.
Yes, anyway. Unless you want to get the most expensive engine overhaul in Sirius, yet best craftsmanship nonetheless, be my guest. Add to that, you will have to bring your own materials, and only Junkers and the guys from the Prometheus Task Force have clearance for deliveries. Oh! It will also take longer than usual since Wolfsburg is short on crew. So, what will it be?
Long live the revolution and free workers of Rheinlaghh... hic!
The man's speech turns into a slurred mumble as he lifts his bottle, his hand wavered as he gulped without sight of stopping. The video link ends as he leans back in his char, teetering on the edge of balance and finally tumbles backward.

The communication opens with the man who had previously been standing with respect, now covering his face with his hand. With an exasperated sigh, he looks back into the camera. His expression is muted and flat; dead. The red glimmer in his eyes that was present before is now more pronounced. His demeanor changes suddenly as he begins speaking.
Credits are not an issue. I'm willing to pay handsomely to get this completed. Materials are not a problem either, there is ample room on-board the Black Harvest, approximately 1,700 SCU's to be precise, that I can utilize to bring the required items along with me. Additionally, I'm not on a timetable, so your engineers can take their time on completing the job. While it's being worked on, I can take odd jobs from your mission control at Wolfsburg as a bonus for you. One more hired gun wouldn't hurt, unless you don't trust me enough to take the fight to your enemies.
He pauses, looking deep into the camera.
I will await your return communication with specifics on what I will need to bring along.
His dead eyes stare into the camera for a moment after finishing. The communication ends abruptly.
You are cleared to enter Giftnebel. Should your analysis be adequate than your stay will be no longer than 12 standard days. For the necessary materials you'll find them attached, any and all other additional costs that may arise during the ship inspection by our teams will be directly shouldered by you.
I don't care what you do while you stay here, as long as you don't interfere with out routine operations and patrols. But be warned Herr Giles, any funny business and your ship will change owners again. I will personally have my eyes on you.

Jadyn nods curtly to the response.
We have arrived at Wolfsburg with the required materials as requested. Additionally, we transferred the 1.300.000 credits to a R\-Valgaldr who met us at drydock. All materials on onboard the Black Harvest for your teams to utilize. Additionally, I have stocked the bar onboard with the finest alcohol should they wish to partake. They have full access onboard. Consider it me sweetening the deal. Feel free to offload it at the end of the contract as a gift for your people.
I look forward to seeing the masters at work. We will be in Rheinland space for the duration of the contract, simply call on me if any additional costs are required or if any other assistance is needed.
He bows and the display is replaced with a brief logo of a wolf before terminating.

The communication opens with Jadyn piloting a smaller craft, armor appears to cover his body and face.
Salutations.
I am sending this as a follow up as we have reached the twelve days you indicated were needed. If more credits or components are required, please advise and I will take care of it immediately. If more time is necessary, we will continue to aid your men and women out in the Bautzen Debris Field until then.
He nods his head once in respect and ends the communication.
Apologies for the late reply for I had my hands full. The engine overhaul on your ship has been completed with no further requirements. As of right now, you and your men have clearance to board and take command of the carrier. I suggest returning for maintenance operation whenever deemed necessary, these however will not be free of charge either.
Remember Herr Giles, I know your line of business is versatile, but the Hessians would take great offence in using this ship against us or any of our close allies. Do not force our hand.

The camera is still fixed on the man in his suit. It appears he is now moving at a high rate of speed; the gee forces pressing him into his seat.
Great news! My team will beat me there to take command of the Black Harvest and meet me near the Omega-11 jump hole. Please give my thanks to your teams for their excellent work.
The mercenary business is indeed a versatile one, as you say. However, our contracts rarely take us through or into Rheinland--or even the Omegas--so there will be no concerns about coming up against you or your people. However, should you require our aid, please feel free to reach out to us anytime. If we are able, we will lend a hand in whatever you require.
Thank you again. Until next time.
He brings his fist to his chest in a salute with great effort under the extreme gees and the communication ends.
