A ship was delivered last night while I slept. I noticed it when my heads up display pinged "New Device Found: Black Echo". Checking the device, I noted it was a Marauder class ship which had appeared out of no where. Onboard was a message: Crowley, Designed to your specifications. She's quite the beauty. Good idea using the hull of a Marauder--there are always ample parts are available for this class of fighter...though with the modifications you had done, those parts might be a bit harder to find. I wasn't able to coax any more out of the modified fuel and engine coils. The top speed is only 525 m/s unfortunately, there's just too much mass for the engines you wanted but she can still run like a stripped ass ape if you push her hard enough. Let me know if you need anything else! It's always a pleasure doing business with a knowledgable individual. Until next time. ~Huxley I knew no Huxley. First line of business after this was to find them and figure out what the shit was going on. I saw the ship in the bay and whoever this Huxley is, they are a proficient individual and master of their craft. The ship is beautiful. Sleek lines, powerful weapons and a variety of systems and sub-systems which screamed prototype. I'm hesitant to take the ship out into space for fear of it steering me into the closest stellar body but...something is telling me this ship was created for a reason. Still no response from Jack. I may have to go ahead without him if I don't hear back soon. I can't stay still for much longer. I need answers and this ship notwithstanding, I'm not going to find them on Halifax. Crowley
