It's been a while since I've heard from you. I'm hoping your business hasn't gone down in flames while I was gone. Anyways...You can throw that last task I've given you in the trash bin. You can leave the smaller target alone - for now..
While I'm still here, I'd like a favor to ask. I was away for some time. Out in a system some might as well consider a "purgatory". And after that? I've felt kind of suicidal or something. The point is: I could use some Nox. Five hundred units? Think you could provide that if the coin is right?

Hey, good to hear you're still knocking about.
I'll give up the hunt for the smaller target. Guess our window to make a profit has closed, and it's on me for being too slow.
We've had confirmed sightings of the other one a few times now, but it's given us the slip each time. It's a big universe for one ship to hide in, and we're still just a small-time pack of jackals. The big-time players won't give us the time of day either. So yeah, we've hit a bit of a rough patch. I'm drafting a new plan though, but it's not the kind of thing you share over the Net.
As for your request, well. That's some spicy stuff you're asking for. I don't have contacts in Gallia myself, but some of my people are from around there. Reckon they'd pitch in for a payday. You want it brought to Barrier Gate?
Barrier Gate? Nah...nah. I'm not here to stay. I'm out here patching up my ship, and then I'll be on the move again. I thought about crashing on Ithaca for a while. So maybe bring the loot there?

The credits can be wired to HRZ~Bank. I trust we'll find the amount agreeable. My boys will turn over the stuff to you once they get confirmation of payment.
Feel free to stop by - I've got some plans I could use another opinion on.
Plans? Well, why the hell not...We'll talk about that when I reach Ithaca and deposit the money. My arrival will take a few more...minutes? Maybe? But the money shouldn't wait that long.
You should find your bank account boast a bigger number now. We're talking roughly 35.000.000 credits.

My crew will stand by to transfer the cargo. I hope you know what you're doing - but it's none of my business to ask questions, really. So good luck with whatever it is you're up to.
