Hey guys, it's Jimmy here, you remember me, right? I had that massive ship you guys helped me get goin'? And that little pocket hideout where we did the work? Well, it ain't so small no more.
I had a young man approach me today, Freddy from engineering. He was white as a sheet y'all. Plain ghostly like. He said he had found something at the bottom of the pallet and handed me this -
He was mumbling "Last roll, last roll...", just repeating it to himself. When I had slapped him out of it he told me we were nearly completely out of nanobots, batteries, and duct tape at the Creek. Which is why I need your particular services. If you were to make some deliveries, we could come to some sort of deal, right? I want, like, heaps of them!
We could talk about some other work too, maybe get you guys to take another look at the train. She's got some issues.
*The comms link cracks to life with the sounds of trumpets playing in the back ground, Duke Tape stumbling onto screen*
Hey Jim, sorry this took so long to get back to! The gang is onboard with your plan also, we heard some things happened and I'm sure you'll be glad to know that all five repair ships are on station and our soon to be newly acquired light freighters will be as well!
*The man motions to the crew to take stations*
As for payment, don't worry, this is for the Alliance you hear? One for all and all for one! Tape! We got a new mission! Time to roll out!

Who? Wha... Oh, OH RIGHT! Holy Political Uprising! Those guys! Thank Death Valley!
Hey! Duke Tape!
Man, you got us just in time. As we speak the final roll is on its quadruple red stripe! Freddy will be happy, he was in the bar stuttering something about a reactor leak. Damn fool had a roll of that imitation "Duck Tape" and there were feathers and a huge stinking mess... I don't really want to talk about it.
But yeah! Please bring me that tape! The base simply won't function without it! Feel free to load us up on nanobots and shield batteries too. And my train is leaking more plasma than usual... Like a lot more...There's like an ointment for that right?
I look forward to meeting you and your crew again.
Jimmy, out.
*The man bursts into a great smile as the comm's crack to life again*
Well I'm sure the others got something for the ship, she's leaking again? Ya, we got some reactor clean up tools and detox stuff as well!
*He shuffles through some remains that was in the cargo bay before getting closer to the camera*
Seems One and and Four on on board, no word from Two yet, I think he's still trying to figure out his way back home..er wait.
*Another crew member seems to whisper something to Duke*
Oh, really? Oh..good good! So apparently he's hiding out in Texas as we speak with his cargo bay full already as well as One is with him. Four seems to be taking the long haul for now, he always enjoyed picking wrecks clean...ANYWAYS! Rest assured, the tape is mobile and on its way. As myself included!

The man smiles as he appears on screen, behind him is a Mammoth transport moored to Creek with cargo being unloaded into the bay...a ton of it to. "Hey man, sorry this took..forever! There were a lot of things to avoid and get around to finally get onto the station!" He points behind him at the ship outside "I got a ton of repair things with me and my crew as well, I'll be uploading the cams in a moment to show what I got with me."

"Hopefully this will be enough for a little while, I'll be bringing more in later today, just tell me which hanger to put the stuff in..." He pauses to think "Oh! And two repair vessels have been moved to the station, number zero two and zero four, they'll be on point to help you with a few things around the base as needed." He finished off the last of his ale before standing "I'll see what else I can haul up here, oh and yes, there is a TON of duct tape in those industrial boxes, not to mention nanites and shield battery boxes have been dropped off as well!" He starts to walk away from the camera, jazz waving his hands "That's all for now." As the image goes dead
