Good afternoon Mr Sanders,

I see. Well, it’s your insurance policies, after all. Just to be on the safe side, I’ll make sure engineering includes one of our EVA mining suits - a Bristol SPE-30B if you’ve ever gotten the brochure for those things - for the unlucky soul you have pilot the thing back. We’ve used it for radiation shielding before, even if it’ll be a pain to move around in, but they never said shipless mining was a comfortable business now have they?

I think I’ve located a Edison AM-333 "Hegemon" for your business, though. Bear in mind, it’s in Texas, so a part of that DSE operation to try and get those ships into salvaging the fields there. Something something, trying to lower crime counted for some tax writeoff deal, and that whole operation stopped basically before it even started. Too many Rogue and Hacker attacks, I think was the deal. You know it’s bad when the project lead is willing to chat with me, so I think I can get it for you on the cheap side of things.

Outer hull won’t be pretty, but these ships are the kind where you can just tear that part out and replace. Same with the engines, I imagine. On the plus side, she’s already notionally outfitted for what you’re imagining. Since they were doing it all for a tax writeoff, just don’t expect it to actually be top of the shelf gear, yeah?

I faxed the details on her to your account. Built in 630 AS and been through DSE, Ageira, Universal, back to DSE, then a stint with some Zoner group before it got repossessed, back to DSE…yeah, you get the picture. Don’t send anyone onto her who believes in ghosts, I think. They might get a little rowdy from not being in Liberty for a while.
