Greetings once again, Bristol,

As you’ve likely guessed, I’m back on Bulwark business. This time to request a single additional Bulwark.

We’ll use the opportunity to return some of the engineers and crew you lent us. Thanks to their expertise, our refinery is running beautifully. Much appreciated.

I hope all is well in Galileo. We’ve heard tensions between Kusari and Liberty are escalating; if you need anything on your end, say the word.

Jonathan Cayran, out.

Afternoon Cayran,

I’m sure our engineers will be glad to be back. Even if they were under your protection, there are certain amenities that the Omegas just aren’t the best for, and it’s always a bit strange to stay at someone else’s house. Of course, it was probably good for them to get out and about - seeing the conditions our customers operate in, their normal expected logistics, where wear and tear occurs, these are all very valuable things. Thank you for giving them the experience.

As to Galileo, yes - tensions between the Houses aren’t improving, and have been reports of gun running from Liberty into Kusari, which I’m certain will lead to nowhere good. Arcetri is, for now though, in little danger I feel. If one House or the other attempts its direct removal, that could well be seen as a prelude to movements into House space, which I’m sure Ms Blake as some ideas on how to capitalize. Personally, I’m glad to be in Bering. Far, far safer.

I have to say, business must be booming for your group and the Omicrons must be getting no safer - we currently have a Bulwark ready for you, at the normal 15.000.000 cr. Same account as usual, Akutan.

I look forward to hearing back from you soon, Cayran. Fly safe, Zoner.

Greetings Mr Molitor,

Excellent news. I’ve transferred the credits to the usual account and notified your crew. They’ll return alongside ours in a few days, perhaps a few weeks, depending on whatever hazards the route throws at them.

I only hope the situation doesn’t spiral. Liberty has a history of heavy-handed decisions—Erie being the prime example.

Jonathan Cayran, out.

Afternoon Cayran,

Liberty and Kusari have always been ‘interesting’ like that. It’s strange when I can think of Rheinland as the land of the free. Did not much feel that way when I lived there.

Payment’s confirmed and we’ve sent on the transfer codes.

Fly safe, Zoner.
