Ian made a signal to the Barwoman and she was there with a refill for their glasses before he could even answer to the captain.
Thanks Blackie. Look captain, you are right now what we at the branched divisions call an 'unaffiliated captain', but that does not make you a second class captain or anything, and you don't answer directly to no one but to the OS&C code of conduct.
He made a pause to drink a bit more.
Of all the things you pointed out, there is none that you are tied to. You don't have to report your runs to any of the branch leaders, nor follow our suggested trade routes if you don't want to. Now, speaking about taste, it is not good publicity for OS&C to have liners transport commodities, I can't force you to quit that behaviour, but things like that make shipping corporations think less of us. We are able to use ships more fit to this, as the Bretonian and Libertonian battletransports for example. He then smiled. We at Greyhound use Shire transports for commodity shipping for instance
