To our partners,

My name is Mara Whitman, I'm in facility management for Ionic Incorporated. First of all, we'd like to thank the Shinkansen's team for the excellent work during the recent platinum price surge, which led to a huge production demand we would have been unable to exploit as effectively as we did without your help.

Ionic is a research-oriented branch of Kishiro Technologies, so our bulk shipping capacity is fairly modest, and our laboratories are really testing the limits of our fleet. When the Shinkansen is operating in the area and not otherwise contracted, we could really make use of her titanic hauling capabilities for supplies.
This would only involve very short trips, as all the station's basic needed goods are traded at installations in the immediate vicinity of the labs.
Obviously, you'd be adequately compensated for your work.

Interested?
