Greetings Captain,

There is a lot to unpack here. A voyage to the Hispania has been one of my personal dreams since I was a boy watching freighters lift off from Pittsburgh, but whether or not we can trust these outcasts is a dicey matter. In my experience with them, we can trust their enlightened self interest. So long as they know the sure pay day of escorting you beats the risk of whatever they think they can extort out of the Red Velvet Club, I imagine they will hold up their end of the bargain. I would not trust them any further than that, but I think we've built up a reputation for being fast and loose with credits where unique sights are concerned, and it doesn't get much more unique than this. If something does happen, I'll do everything I can for you, of course, but let's hope it does not come to that.

Of course, there are legal concerns. The treaties that allow us to pass through house space ban us from allying with unlawfuls. An ad hoc charter flight that happens to run into some pirates who you have to pay, which then (shocker!) take you back to their home system before deciding to cut you loose is one thing. Routine charter service to Omicron Alpha is another. Tread lightly here, keep plausible deniability whenever you can, and take no action that makes it appear that we are allying with them because we are most certainly not allying with them. If anyone shows up to crash the party, fire only in self defense if fired upon and try not to be seen in the company of pirates. We cannot get too involved in edge world politics without risking our Liberty charter.

And be careful about welcoming them aboard your ship. Cardamine is more of a medication than a narcotic to them, and they won't think twice about bringing a cylinder of the stuff with them because they'll die quickly without it. Liberty won't see it that way if they pick it up on a scan upon your return, though. I am confident you will abide by all house laws when flying through house space. Beyond that is, of course, captain's prerogative. I wouldn't allow the stuff on Breezewood, but then again I have a reputation to uphold to be a clean face for the company. You are free to pursue more... interesting endeavors.

But good work making interesting friends. I hope it will be a trip that is worth all the trouble to your passengers, I just wish I was along for the ride!

Regards,
Jonathan Seabourne
