Genuine seasonal well-wishes, for me? Why, thanks John.

Belated thanks, I know. It's been hectic. My line of work is... demanding on the best of days, but this really blew it away. When you work on Erie at a time like now, busy spikes like this you simply come to accept, especially with the sort of friends I have. I hope your new year was relatively normal?

Since it's now behind us, I reckon you'll both be charting your course soon. Just make sure you let me know what time you plan to leave the system, so I can pass off the cargo we talked about to your ship from Bethlehem, alright? I trust you with it, so you'll get them to the Freeport 1 commodity dealer. They know it's coming, they'll pay you for the trouble, and you'll be doing me a favor. Not a bad way to get started with station living, don't you think?

Do let me know how well you adapt to it once you get there, and don't forget your medical records if you planned to do more than sit in screenings for the first four hours.

I'll be in touch, now that I'm back to flying my route to Bethlehem from the surface as usual. At least for the time being. The worlds keep on turning.
