Yesterday at 22:44:20 UTC I came across a Barge-class mobile factory hauling thirty thousand crates of artifacts in Galileo, headed to Liberty. Sonoran responded my call and came shortly after to confiscate as much of it as the ship could carry and then I escorted them to Fontana. I'll attach the radio comms on this transmission.

[13.02.2025 22:47:57] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: If whatever I'm fighting isn't dead by then, sucks to be me.
[13.02.2025 22:48:19] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: I guess I'll find out when Liberty sends the entire Ohio group against me.

[13.02.2025 22:48:58] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: A Xeno called me deranged.
[13.02.2025 22:49:21] XA-U-Deadmeat: Not just a xeno, a former legionnarie from the Alliance penal unit called you deranged.
[13.02.2025 22:49:31] XA-U-Deadmeat: You can fucking bet I know about that.
[13.02.2025 22:49:34] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: Cobra still hasn't made his boys all the way respec-
[13.02.2025 22:49:48] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: Oh, bad business about Guadalajara.
[13.02.2025 22:49:51] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: My condolences.
[13.02.2025 22:50:17] XA-U-Deadmeat: You just called it Guadalajara, huh...
[13.02.2025 22:51:44] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: What? Should I be using the names they slapped on them for... some reason?
[13.02.2025 22:52:04] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: I remember it being Guad, I'm calling it Guad.
[13.02.2025 22:52:16] XA-U-Deadmeat: I do not expect random smugglers to care or know about the former name.
[13.02.2025 22:52:39] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: Yes, random smugglers.
[13.02.2025 22:52:50] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: Guess so.
[13.02.2025 22:53:19] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: I'm old-school, where it was the sledgehammer to get the contraband through.
[13.02.2025 22:53:25] XA-U-Deadmeat: Did you seriously get those artifacts all the way from Crete to here?
[13.02.2025 22:54:01] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: Yes, and the worst part was the asteroid clearance for this thing.
[13.02.2025 22:54:04] XA-Sonoran: Logistics standing by.
[13.02.2025 22:54:06] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: It was nuts.
[13.02.2025 22:54:45] XA-U-Deadmeat: Ever did the same trip from Malta?
[13.02.2025 22:54:56] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: I refuse to travel through the Taus on this thing.
[13.02.2025 22:55:00] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: Refuse.
[13.02.2025 22:55:12] XA-U-Deadmeat: Why?
[13.02.2025 22:55:33] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: The Barrier's an agony dispenser is why.
[13.02.2025 22:55:33] XA-U-Deadmeat: Going through Sigmas, Kusari and Liberty is fine but Taus is too much?
[13.02.2025 22:56:14] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: Kusari's a straight line with no stellar bodies blocking the path, really.
[13.02.2025 22:56:31] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: The Sigmas likewise.
[13.02.2025 22:56:35] XA-U-Deadmeat: Letting patrols aside.
[13.02.2025 22:56:38] XA-U-Deadmeat: And gas pockets.
[13.02.2025 22:56:44] XA-U-Deadmeat: And corsairs, the GMG...
[13.02.2025 22:57:03] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: Namura's crew has retired to their booze, it seems.
[13.02.2025 22:57:20] XA-U-Deadmeat: This is fucking dumb.
[13.02.2025 22:57:31] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: The Corsairs are more pre-occupied with their brush wars, they waved me through.
[13.02.2025 22:58:17] XA-U-Deadmeat: Alright, Sonoran-actual?
[13.02.2025 22:58:28] XA-Daring: Being recalled, emergency.
[13.02.2025 22:58:32] XA-Sonoran: Figured you boys were running the show.
[13.02.2025 22:58:33] XA-U-Deadmeat: There's free hold in there.
[13.02.2025 22:59:03] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: Guess today's my lucky day.
[13.02.2025 22:59:28] XA-U-Deadmeat: Captain... Consider your fee to assist the Free Republic.
[13.02.2025 22:59:38] XA-U-Deadmeat: Three thousand and six hundred crates.
[13.02.2025 22:59:49] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: Oh, you have a friend who's asking me to run some fuel to you. I'll put the fee on their ta- yeah, sure.
[13.02.2025 23:00:03] XA-U-Deadmeat: What was that?
[13.02.2025 23:00:16] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: I was going to put it on their tab if it was money. Heh.
[13.02.2025 23:00:21] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: But cargo works too.
[13.02.2025 23:00:24] XA-Sonoran: We're not here for fuel, we're here for product.
[13.02.2025 23:00:44] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: I will convey that to the client.
[13.02.2025 23:01:07] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: Get those crates in the air, what do I pay you for?
[13.02.2025 23:01:35] XA-Sonoran: Packages secured, burning out.
[13.02.2025 23:01:51] XA-U-Deadmeat: Alright we're done here, let's see what was the hurry for Daring-actual.
[13.02.2025 23:01:56] Barge.Of.The.Contraband: Daisy: See you around, I guess.

"Molon Labe."
