I heard ya lads been makin mighty fine ships up der in dem Tau's. I were wondering if ya lads ad a 2 pytho's en 2 nyx's ta spare eh?
It be fir me en me friend who wanna do a bitta merc work tagether I'm sure ya unserstand.
We really wanna fighter en a bomber each. Be bleedin nice ships ya gut.
Now I know ya lads wanna check me background. Well I did a lil time alright? Lemme explain.
I were workin fir liberty navy first eh. And well. Rank and file aint me style. Steady salary were makin me wife appy but it driving me nuts. Kept thinking I were gonna die on this bleeding bucky en nuttin I could do bout it.
Well I reckoned sod that and did me simulator time. Pasted me test en moved inta ta da fighter wing. Well that were right en dandy. Turnedout I weren't a bad fighter pilot en I were moved inta a bomber wing. Better pay, more dangerous work. Ya get the picture eh?
Anyhoo. Turns out there were a lad who were in me wing. His old man were some rich bugger on manhattan. He weren't ta impressed wit me coming frim a proud lil background.
He always screwed up en I got the flak. Bleeding officers didn't wanna do nuttin bout im. Scared o his dad I reckon.
Well da one day I caught I'm pi**ing in me boots. I did him in dats fir dam shure. Had ta eat synth paste fir a month after I were done with him.
Anyhoo dey put me off duty after that. Buggers da lot o dem. They discharged me claimin he were doin a damn prank. How would ya feel if ya caught a lad peein in ya shoes eh? Aye I thought so.
Anyhoo dey gave me a bitta cash fir me ta not press no charges. Bought me a lil fighter. Aye she were a fine bird she were.
I was stuck after dat. But I reckoned least I weren't gonna die cause some polotician slept with some udder lads daughter eh?
*chuckles to himself enjoying this*
Anyhow I were wirking as a merc after dat doin escorts en what not. Found it were makin good money cause dem tradies used ta leave me lil tips all da time.
Till one day,
Lad called me wit a big job. One of dem massive libby trains kummin in from kasuri. Went ta pick Im up en started da escort. It were all goin well till we ran inta a couple o coppers in new york. Ya know ow dey are eh?
Currupt lil buggers. Anyhoo dey claimed dey could scan cardy on his vessel. Me sensors couldn't see squat! All I could see were h fuel.
Anyhoo dem coppers started ta get real mad bout it. E wouldn't pay der "on da spot" fine. Said e ad nuttin lioke dat on im.
I can't blame the lad but eventually da cops opened fire. I sank two of the buggers before backup arrived. Dey didn't stop ta ask questions en just blew up is train. Well I were der on me own en I couldn't do nuttin.
I surrended en dey charged me. De cams showed I were defendin meself but turns out dat da judge were dat navy lad who did one in me shoe? Aye dat judge were is dad. Even wit me cams he sent me off ta sugarland. Nuttin I could do.
Managed ta get me ship sold just before I were sent der.
So aye. Did me 6 years o makin bleeding space bears. I were lucky ta ave saved all da tips I gut en da money frim me fighter. Put it in an account me wife couldn't touch.
Well turns out what she were really after. A lawyer came over en she ad found some udder lad. Dey payed me a pittance ta sign em divorce papers en dat were done.
Well.
I be a free man now, no useless wife. Got me a lil shuttle wit me own money en I'm looking fir honest work en a real ship. One ting was dem 6 years made me alotta interest in dat account it did. Reckon I need ta start thinkin about ow I gonna retire anyhoo.
En dat be me lad. Ope ta ear frim ya.
Da friend I mentioned ta ya's. His parents were street bums on ol houston. He did a lil time with me fir loitering o all tings. Well ya will see dey be en attached file with dees. It be me en is history. Just thought I should explain in person why I did time. O en me history be verified by some grouppa big jobs on manhattan. Got der stamp en all ta prove it all be da truth.
I also need ta know if der be eny pledges I need ta sign en what not en if ya lads need money our if ya just need me swear a oath en all.
Dear sir,
we have reviewed your request to buy some ships from our facilities. The amount you are after is currently in our stores and can be sold to you under several circumstances.
1. You will not use the craft in any action against Colonial Remnant or its allies, or friends.
2. If possible, you would lend a hand in fighting crime in Tau systems, however this remains optional.
3. If you plan on working for money, offer your services to us as well, we are always looking for new contractors, especially in bounty hunting areas.
If you agree to these points, we will provide the quartermaster on the station with paperwork so you can pick up the vessels. We will also add your name to the List of known technology users so you avoid some unpleasantries in the future, should they arise.
Now for the financial part of the matter. Since these craft are essentially our own combat assets, if we let some go we require monetary compensation that is used to rebuild the missing craft quickly enough that there is no combat gap ever possible. Therefore, prices for the ships are following :
Nyx very heavy fighter class : 2,250,000 credits a piece
Pytho bomber class : 3,000,000 credits a piece
For the amount you are requesting it totals 10,500,000 credits. Should you find the amount too high, we can try to find some arrangement. I hope it will be okay with you. Credits are payable to =CR=Buffalo[ISE] unit. Once confirmed, members of our Armed forces will be notified so you are granted free passage.

Greetings,
in answer to your question who are our friends. We are on very good terms with IMG and ICMG, however there are lot of various people that are flying around independent that we consider our friends, like basically any miner in Taus. I believe you can tell friend or foe when it comes to our relations.
If the money amount is fine with you, send the cash to mentioned ship and we will prepare ships for you.
Greetings sir.
I can confirm the transfer of the credits to our bank ship. Our pilots have been ordered to help you out in any way you deem necessary to acquire the ships. Your name is also put on the known tech user list so there is avoided any trouble in the future.
We thank you very much for contacting us and solving the matter through this channel. Safe flying with the ships and good luck in your ventures!
