'Sup Cal,
Holding up 'right? Bec's and I have sorted out that job for you.
The cargo is stashed up on ThunderBay Depot. A quartermaster with some shiny new pennies in their back pocket is keeping the packed up lot in container Kappa-17. They ain't none the wiser and waiting on a Mister Thomson to collect.
Very good! I'm attaching a little bonus to your fee -- hazard pay and all that. I'll let Mister Thomson know his cargo is ready for shipping. In the meantime send me an account where I can wire you the money.
How are you so far? Are you... holding up well after the job?

'Heinrike' should do just fine. I think ya'got Bec's details, but if you're feeling just the one transaction throw it my way. I can settle things with her.
Yeah. Fine. Alles gut. Alles klar. Apart from the whole seeing and blasting aliens for the first time thing, yeah, just a regular cycle like any other. Still remember I've got a shithole on Ithaca to go back to so I'm assuming they haven't scooped my brains out, or whatever it is they do.
You? How are ya'faring? Still snooping about Bethlehem?
Doing fine. The good thing about being me is that work never really gets boring -- unless we talk finances. I hate numbers.
Glad to hear you're alright though, because the next gig is fresh, hot and thankfully alien-free. You will be an honorary Liberty Police Officer. I'm sure that at some point in your life you were the victim of police brutality. Now you get to exercise that on someone else.

As long as you can stand finances enough to pay me, hmm?
Consider me tickled with interest Cal. Keen, though, to know a bit more about what you got planned. Sounds like something outside of my usual wheelhouse, so hit me up with some deets and I'll be able to say with more certainty if I'm right for the work.
The gig is pretty simple. I'll fetch you a Liberty Fighter, slap a "legitimate" transponder on it and maybe even give you a copy of the laws of Liberty -- twist them however you want. With the given tools you have to impound two 'Combat Service Freighters', or CSF for short, and drop the coordinates for pickup.
The client doesn't want them damaged - (too much) - so try and refrain from actually blasting the poor things. While you're on this job you can do whatever you want in the realm of ripping off corporates or cause a little bit of chaos. Just remember what your main objective is.
And ask around for a Tabitha Marks every now and then. Be subtle about it while running around with oblivious Navy or Police Officers.

Sounds like exciting work that'd take some time to get wrapped up. I'd take you up on it, usually, but bossmann put the call out for folks to get together Ithaca way. Seems like they want all hands on deck for what they're cooking, and they'd hang me out to dry if I passed them up for this work.
Soz Cal. How about you Bec's? Got a slot in your busy schedule open?
Sorry for the delay, had some stuff to deal with myself.
Anyway, what just cause I like blue, you two start trying to suit me up in an LPI uniform?
[The mercenary gives a slight chuckle.]
Joking aside, going undercover as a cop is somehow a first for me. One that sounds like a right bollocks if I'm being honest, yet on the other hand the chance to take a Liberty Fighter for a spin? Well, that's tempting.
So, to hell with it, my plates empty for the minute. Give me the deets, and I guess I'm ruining some Junkers' day.
Also the bloody hell is with us three and Liberty ships? I'm not the only one getting deja vu here, am I?

As I said before, Reb'. Your goal is to play either good cop or bad cop -- doesn't matter to me. Get me those two CSFs, ideally not shot the hell out of, and find them a good hiding spot for my men to take them. The Defender you're getting won't be anything close to what Liberty employs, mind you. I've had to improvise a little since the only ships of that kind are found in surplus warehouses or the vast scrap fields of Bering.
This job is likely to take a while, so keep your poker face on at all times. Your 'Skyline' will be safe with me in the meantime. The moment you step in the cockpit of that Defender, you'll become whatever identity I find for you. As far as Liberty is concerned, Rebecca Harper fucked off to the Bloody Omegas doing booze on Freeport 5.
Cheat, lie, shiv an Officer -- you've got near limitless possibilities. Just get me those Freighters. You're free to help yourself with fining people for your own needs in the meantime. You'll need some form of income during the job, anyway.

Well, this definitely qualifies as a change of pace for sure. Let's just hope whatever work you did to the F-8 isn't something that rozzers' or the Navy might pick up on then.
Anyway, if I'm doing this, one of you two is probably going to handle any messages meant for me while I'm "away", if you want to play this one that lowkey. Oh, and in the worst case scenario, handle any emergencies that might come up.
So, yeah, I'll let you figure out which one of you wants to have the fun of dealing with Alex, Jace and the rest if they start asking questions. Just do me a favour and try and not freak anyone out too much, yeah? Otherwise, let me know where I'm picking up the ship once you've got the cover identity sorted.
Oh, and Cal', if I might be slightly picky regarding the cover? I'd rather not dye my hair, so for my sake, try and avoid a blonde or ginger identity unless it's the last possible option, yeah?
