To: Station Owners - Sirius Wide

[Commissar]

Well, hello.

I'd normally start a letter like this with something about how I'm cutting to the chase, but no-one seems to buy that anymore, and the whole thing's getting pretty boring, to be honest. So, just to spice things up, I'll give you the full version. Read as much of it as you like. Or as little. There's really not that much, anyway.

Firstly, I'm Sarah. It's a pleasure to make your virtual acquaintance.

So, here's the deal. I've recently come into possession of a ship that... Er.. Needs some work. Normal stuff, maintenance, updates. You know, the usual. Unfortunately, there's a catch.

I don't have the space.

Super-heavy transports don't exactly fit in your back pocket, you know. So, I've got a ship sitting in space gathering (metaphorical) rust. Dust. Whatever. Things I don't want on a ship that I've got any intention at all of running. That's where you guys come in.

I need somewhere to moor and run some repairs. Preferably a full dock, I can't perform the upgrades I need to without access to the hull. Well, let me rephrase that. I could, but I really don't want to (have you ever tried running cable in a vac-suit? It's no fun, I can tell you that). Why not Baltimore, you ask? Well. I could use one of the official shipyards, but they're horribly expensive and unbearably noisy. Maybe it's just me, but I prefer to do my repairs somewhere quiet. Welding gets sort of Zen after a while.

Oh, right. The deal. In return, once the ship's working again, I can pay you back by hauling some supplies to help keep your station running for a while. Don't worry, I can feed myself. I won't leech off your supplies.

And just before you ask, no. I haven't got anyone after me, I'm not a smuggler, murderer, secret agent, zoner, or whatever else hides in your particular closet and pulls faces. I'm just a Freelancer looking for somewhere private to get a ship running.

If you've got anywhere that could be useful, let me know over this channel.

Thanks! Look forward to hearing from you.
