Rendering transcript... Good fortune, captain. Knightfall, is that right? Bowman filled Group Clarion in a little about your ship, and what you've been doing for us. Let me say, thank you for your work. Having a line of contact to a Militant transport really put a spring in his step. Whatever the two of you convened over, you must've put him in a good mood, which is frankly shocking. He's never this pleased with himself when I bring him the good news. But, let me introduce myself. I fly under the name Trouble. I work with Clarion as their supply runner, and their eyes and ears in space. When they aren't calling on me to help with something sensitive, I'm one step forward of you in the supply chain, as it turns out. You bring what's needed from beyond our star, and I help it make the trip from Pinnacle to our people on the ground where its needed most. An intact Zoner identity ameliorates the dangers of that for me. It sounds as though your ship gets around, and I think I could really use your expertise with long-distance logistics right about now. I'm investigating a relationship that may grant Clarion access to some very rare equipment, but I've run up against a confound of minimal cargo space. Simply put, we need a transport. We need you. If you can help me move something cross-sector, together we might be able to win Erie a well-connected ally. Let me know if you want to hear details. We can rendezvous at Pinnacle, and I may present my pitch. Attachments (0)

[close][report][help] TARGET:.."Trouble" IDENT:...Knightfall SUBJECT: RE: Securing Rare Supplies ENCRYPT: TOTALITY - 4092-Q // MSG BGN This is Knightfall, Captain of the Pillar of Ash. We’ve been receiving more communiques lately. Either our name is getting around, or we should start watching our backs. Time will tell. The work itself is welcome--and it's good to hear our supply runs are getting to the hands of those in the rebellion. It does my heart good to know that hopefully some of those bullets are being given to the Liberty dogs invading one of our homes. Whether we pursue this “very rare equipment” depends entirely on its origin. The Pillar is old and has seen her share of battles over the centuries her hull has existed. What's more is, her engines are unreliable even on good days. The longer the haul, the higher the chance of an overload--either leaving us stranded or lighting us up bright enough to be seen from the next system. A meeting to discuss specifics works. We can rendezvous at Pinnacle or elsewhere, depending on how sensitive this is. Give the word and we’ll arrive with the Pillar of Ash or a smaller, nondescript ship. // MSG END // ATTACHMENTS NIL * * *

Rendering transcript... Captain. I've touched down at Pinnacle, but we need a little more discretion than right here at the base. I've picked out a location not far off. In the interest of not taxing the Pillar more than necessary, I'd recommend the lighter ship -- in fact, if it's another freighter, that in itself would be good news for me. I figured your Pilgrim Liner might be a little rugged, but potentially explosive? That could represent too much risk. You'll understand what I mean when we share words. Look for the Red Dandelion, and we'll head out. I'll see to answering any queries you may have. Attachments (0)

[close][report][help] TARGET:.."Trouble" IDENT:...Knightfall SUBJECT: RE: Securing Rare Supplies ENCRYPT: TOTALITY - 4092-Q // MSG BGN I'm afraid the last of our Freighters were destroyed in Omicron Delta prior to the founding of the Pact. The only true transport ship we have left is the Pillar. I do have a personal Bayonet fighter that I occasionally use. I'll have to send one of my people on a shuttle to retrieve it from Barrier Gate, however. I stashed it there some time ago to keep it safe in case the Pillar was destroyed due to attack or a reactor going critical. The ships name is Accelerant so you know who to look for. Once I have it on station, we'll stand by for your return message. // MSG END // ATTACHMENTS NIL * * *

Rendering transcript... I copy. As a ballpark, we can link up a short time from now at 20:00 Sirian standard time, or the same time tomorrow. I've been in and out of the station a lot today though, so I won't be hard to catch. Attachments (0)
