Good to know that some people at least know when to apologize. I can admire that.

So you are a little freelance business with the fundings and expertise to conduct quite questionable research into subjects that, quite frankly, sounds quite dangerous, given the houses' disposition towards the other inhabitants of the Sirius sector. Makes me wonder whether you really offered that little detail to Bretonia when you got the permission for the base, but what do I care, right?

Selfless charity work, too. I really must admit: Next to you, I almost feel bad. There is something that I would like you to do, Mr. Sorrell. Given your disposition towards a free mindset when working with everybody, as per your own admission, I would entreat you to do me a little favour. Of course, you will be paid for it, so don't worry about that. There is someone on Malta that I owe a quite sizable load of gold, which is really why you caught my interest. You can't imagine how pesky those families can be when they want something — plutocrats, really. Point in case: My friend needs 10.000 units of Gold Ore delivered to Malta. Do this for me, deliver me proof of the successful transport, and I might be inclined to return a little favour for you. After all, having a Lane Hacker as friend can be quite the boon for an upcoming freelance business, hmm? Oh, and don't worry about where you need to load it off. You'll be approached once you moored on Malta.
