Good day,
The names Austin Rodney Goodmen, some of you may know me as a pilot of the Armed Forces. Other may know me as a fugitive from Bretonia. Either one serves well.
I need information on a missing person, who disappeared some months ago. Due to the Bretonian-Kusari war, I've been to bogged down to even deal with it. However, now that I have a bit of free time on my hands...I'm willing to make an effort to get her back in one piece.
Her name is Ashley Taylor, a Lieutenant in the Bretonian Armed Forces. My last communications with her was just before she was captured by Kusari forces. But knowing her she wouldn't give herself up that easily. If anyone has any information on Ashley, please contact this channel. It's open to all frequencies.
It would mean a great deal to get her back in one piece.
<start>mr goodman,you may know me you may not but i know you know this ship we will let you know if your friend is found and possibly even try to get her for you
on another note,the owner of this ship wants you to contact him asap you two met in the defense of the Curacao treaty.

Greetings there Mr. Goodmen. I've read up on your recent, 'exploits,' and I must say, you're not quite as Mr. Rockwell described. I guess it can't be helped, and I'm sure you have your reasoning, as do I. I'm sure you're not one to dawdle, so I'll get straight to the point. I happen to know where your Miss Taylor is, in fact quite intimately. I'd be glad to help you in your search, but there is something I wish in return. As I mentioned, I am an acquaintance of Mr. Rockwell, and I seem to owe him a favor. He spared me a few months ago, and had the decency, or the gall, to take me for a drink, where as he explained a few aspects of his troubling life. You're name came up quite a few times, so I assumed you two were close friends. I hope I am not mistaken about this. Before I tell you where your dear Taylor is, I want my debt with Rockwell settled. This is my one and only offer. I await your Response.
Sincerely,
~Kenshin Masayuki

Funny, as my friend has never mentioned you before.
If you debt involves him getting killed, I'd think again. I might be a fugitive from the Crown, but by no means will I turn against a friend of mine. So, state your debt before I grow tired. Mind you, I have little care for Kusarians.
Ah. You must've misunderstood me. I have no intention of using this a leverage for dueling Mr. Rockwell. I wish to be able to beat him on equal footing. However, I owe him a debt, one of large proportions. I wish to give you this information, as a way to settle it. I am not fond of being in debt to someone, especially a Rival, as kind as he may be. I apologize deeply, I did not mean to insinuate such an insult to your character. I await your response once more. Oh, and by the way, I can't help but interpret some of your hostility towards Kusari. Granted I can't deny my heritage, but I am not affiliated with the Kusarian government, and I rarely travel into the core systems unless for formal matters.
