∎∎∎ ⋙ About: Interesting Encounter with a Liberty Intel Agent

I was contacted by an agent of the Liberty Intelligence Agency [LIA] about taking on a friend of theirs as a crew member. Apparently their friend needs to get outta Liberty.

[12.07.827 05:47:38] [LIA]-Sickle: Greetings! When you're in Liberty space, could you pick a civilian named Jiraki from Planet Houston?
[12.07.827 05:48:31] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: I wouldn't mind doing that, but I won't be in Liberty anytime soon.
[12.07.827 05:48:55] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: perhaps you intended to ask someone else?
[12.07.827 05:49:12] [LIA]-Sickle: It's fine, whenever you have time
[12.07.827 05:49:47] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: where would Jiraki want to go?
[12.07.827 05:50:10] [LIA]-Sickle: He wish to serve on a junker ship
[12.07.827 05:51:18] [LIA]-Sickle: I know him personally, he know how to use repaire tools
[12.07.827 05:52:27] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: That's a useful skill indeed. Has he spent time outside of house space.. I'm frequently on the edge of human space
[12.07.827 05:52:58] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: and it's not like we could just drop him home if he becomes homesick
[12.07.827 05:53:41] [LIA]-Sickle: Won't be a problem, he's tired of Liberty truth being told, but I'd wish for that to remaine between us
[12.07.827 05:54:22] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: I see.. may I ask what the LIA stands for? I'm unfamiliar with your transponder tag
[12.07.827 05:55:21] [LIA]-Sickle: LIA stands for Liberty Intelligence Agency, but Mr. Jiraki isn't part of our structure
[12.07.827 05:58:30] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: while I, myself, don't have issue with law enforcement.. I expect you can imagine how some could be concerned
[12.07.827 05:58:45] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: having a recommendation from one such as yourself.
[12.07.827 05:59:16] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: I do sometimes find myself in "rough" company. I'd hate for your friend's safety to be compromised.
[12.07.827 05:59:43] [LIA]-Sickle: I understand your concern, but be sure there won't be any problems
[12.07.827 06:01:02] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: I must admit I'm intrigued. It's not that I haven't taken on crew from unconditional places, but we junkers are wary
[12.07.827 06:02:01] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: Perhaps ironically, the fact that you're open about your own proffession is less suspicious than it would be otherwise.
[12.07.827 06:02:14] [LIA]-Sickle: Maybe I could prove my sincerity with a transaction?
[12.07.827 06:02:41] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: That's not the issue. Trust is more valuable than any amount of credits.
[12.07.827 06:02:54] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: and I need to be able to trust my crew implicitly
[12.07.827 06:03:02] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: all our lives depend on it
[12.07.827 06:03:47] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: what is your relation to Jiraki that you'd solicit work for him?
[12.07.827 06:04:27] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: You must admit it a bit odd to be approached by a stranger on another's behalf in this way.
[12.07.827 06:07:06] [LIA]-Sickle: Mr. Jiraki is a friend of mine, but he dosn't have the posibility of asking for this kind of 'transfer'
[12.07.827 06:08:14] [LIA]-Sickle: About trust, definetly, this concept is the most importat in some situations, but also we have to think
[12.07.827 06:08:38] [LIA]-Sickle: about the financial part
[12.07.827 06:09:30] [LIA]-Sickle: I'm the only person Mr. Jiraki trust with this kind of requirement
[12.07.827 06:10:26] [LIA]-Sickle: Also, other agents from my governmental structure wouldn't see this with good eyes
[12.07.827 06:10:52] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: I can understand their concerns.. they're some of the same ones I have.
[12.07.827 06:11:35] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: we both deal in sensitive information at times.
[12.07.827 06:12:03] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: as well as people who may not understand the good nature of helping a friend
[12.07.827 06:13:00] [LIA]-Sickle: I propose you something else, I wire you 15M of SC and you pick up one more crew for your ship
[12.07.827 06:13:26] [LIA]-Sickle: I don't think there will be any incident under your watch
[12.07.827 06:14:04] [LIA]-Sickle: Afterall, he's just a tehnician
[12.07.827 06:28:35] [827-07-12] 06:28:36 You have sent 10.000.000 credits to .:j:.Tyber.Zann with a comment.
[12.07.827 06:29:01] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: Thanks for the generous donation officer. I'll take good care of your friend.
[12.07.827 06:34:58] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: I'll make sure Mr. Jiraki gets picked up and settled onto a junker vessel. We're always in need of good hands.
[12.07.827 06:35:43] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: Who knows, once he's spent some time serving on one of our ships he may decide to captain one of his own.
[12.07.827 06:36:40] [LIA]-Sickle: I'm thankful for your your help. Mr. Jiraki will be very happy when he'll finally leave Liberty space.
[12.07.827 06:38:42] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: I'll pick him up on my way to Tarancon base for some salvage work.. It's as far as one can get from Liberty
[12.07.827 06:38:57] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: all the way out in Omicron Minor
[12.07.827 06:39:16] [LIA]-Sickle: That would be perfect
[12.07.827 06:39:23] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: It's literally farther out than any freeport. Hope he's up for the trip.
[12.07.827 06:40:03] .:j:.Tyber.Zann: but reguardless.. I'm happy to have him. I'm sure this will be mutally beneficial. Good day sir.
[12.07.827 06:40:12] [LIA]-Sickle: He's up for anything *giggles*
[12.07.827 06:40:40] [LIA]-Sickle: Good day to you too pilot. Also, thank you again

Now I'm as distrustful of the law as any of us.. maybe more so, but the creds were good and I can't see harm in letting this Jiraki fella tag along on a few scrap runs. Maybe he's an agent hoping to do a bit o' spying at our expense, or maybe he's trying to leave a job what they don't let people leave from. Heck, maybe he's got on the bad side of a gambling debt or really does just want to take up the junker life. No matter, we'll be keeping a tight leash and a close eye on him while he's aboard my ship. I'll be mining Premium Scrap in New York and taking it out to the Freeport in Theta, then bringing Scrap back from Tarancon out in Minor back to Beaumont. Nothing more. Nothing less. A couple runs of this and I'll have fulfilled the deal with Agent Sickle.. all above board and legal like.

If he does end up trying anything foolish I expect he'll end up floating out in the 'Crons. Scrappin's dangerous work... accidents happen.
