"It has taken a while to get things in order, but I finally seem to be making some progress. I have been gathering documentation for making a formal claim on the Junction wreck, and at the same time, I have been trying to get my affairs in order with the various powers in the local region.
With that in mind, I found a member of the Rogues today, and, if he wasn't scamming me, got him to promise to run my request for a meeting up his chain of command. Not sure how that is going to play out since I have never done anything this grandiose with the Rogues before; just the usual cloak fit that seems to be the only thing all these folks have had in common. Without Star's records, that is a dead end."
Chuck sat back and sipped the whiskey that the Rogue had given him at the end of the discussion. The Molly's made a fine vintage, and he idly wondered if there was a profit potential for that. With the glass empty, and his eyelids waging war with gravity and losing, he attached the comm records to the entry and headed for his bed.

[26.03.2015 18:09:25] LR-The.Delivery.Man: What's the plan Chuck?
[26.03.2015 18:09:25] Silk_Road: Chuck Alestone: I'll be quick. I need to talk to someone up near the top of the Rogue food chain.
[26.03.2015 18:10:08] Silk_Road: Chuck Alestone: I am looking into a project to refurb the Junction wreck in Kansas, and I would like to get "blessings" before I start.
[26.03.2015 18:11:21] LR-The.Delivery.Man: Ok, I can talk with my boss about that. So you wanna build a new base in Kansas, I understand right?
[26.03.2015 18:11:33] Silk_Road: Chuck Alestone: A research station, yes.
[26.03.2015 18:12:13] Silk_Road: Chuck Alestone: Are you familiar with Ames in Kepler? Something like that, but not Zoner.

[26.03.2015 18:14:13] Silk_Road: Chuck Alestone: Anyway, I figure, it is easier to get neutral status with you folks and avoid problems, than having to work it out after misunderstandings.
[26.03.2015 18:15:49] LR-The.Delivery.Man: You're right about your decision to talk first with us. I refer that to my Boss about this project
[26.03.2015 18:16:23] Silk_Road: Chuck Alestone: If it works for you, I'll keep this channel open on the Neural Net. That way, you don't need to chase me.
[26.03.2015 18:17:05] Silk_Road: Chuck Alestone: Better for all of us if I do the leg work, yes?
[26.03.2015 18:18:20] LR-The.Delivery.Man: Sure, I hope we won't got misunderstandings with our faction.
[26.03.2015 18:19:10] Silk_Road: Chuck Alestone: Naw, I been fairly good with you folks forever. Picked up one of your pilots yesterday after the LN left him drifting. Bastards never do search and rescue.
[26.03.2015 18:20:47] Silk_Road: Chuck Alestone: Actually, that is how I got the encrypt for you from Buffalo. I dropped him off and they suggested I try you.
[26.03.2015 18:21:56] LR-The.Delivery.Man: Yeah Navy is ugly, good to know. Take this, a gift from us Rogues, directly from our friendly Molly Base Arranmore
[26.03.2015 18:22:34] Silk_Road: Chuck Alestone: Very generous, thank you.
[26.03.2015 18:22:54] LR-The.Delivery.Man: Cold Whiskey enjoy!
