Junker News Network

[Tenacity]

*After a brief flickering of static, a stout man with a grey beard and shaggy hair appears on the screen, a leather jacket and torn jeans as his attire*



"This damn thing on? Alright..."

The man clears his throat.

"This is Christopher Thorn, head of the Junker's Union of Rheinland. I dont expect every one of us out there keeps up with the times so I'll lay it straight off the bat;

The Junker's Union has slowly grown within rheinland over the past several months. We started out as nothing more than a gang of unorganized scrap collectors at Bornholme Depot, but since then we've become a true corporate and political force within Rheinland and it's borderworld territories.

Now, we're what you might call modern day 'treasure hunters' out here. There's hundreds of years worth of wreckage just waiting to be found and claimed; everythin' from old Rheinland Military craft to derelict transports full of the richest commodities credits can buy.

Thing is, we're still shorthanded. Bornholme has undergone drastic changes since our rise, and we've had to get rid of plenty-a junkers and non-junkers alike out here who didnt want to follow protocol; thus creatin' a hazardous environment for the rest of us salvagers. Yanagi has lost dozens to senseless attacks from the bounty hunter's guild and the wild, while kreuzberg has fallen into a state of disrepair due to poor maintenance by it's original crews - which, of course, have now been replaced.

Now, the point I'm gettin at is this: you can make a killin out here. One lucky find and you're a millionaire, and you can make a decent livin worthy 'o any junker just off the scraps floatin around in this part-a space. We've got a good understandin with the local lawful and criminal forces alike that keeps our salvage ops well protected and our members well respected.

If yer one o' them smugglin folk, or a no-good scoundrel pilot flyin falsely under the junker name, we dont want ya. In fact, I catch any of ya doin' that crap down here and I'll shoot ya myself - but if yer lookin for honest work and the opportunity to strike it rich, the Junker's Union has a spot and a CSV just waiting for you to step up.

Now, at the bottom 'o yer screen here you'll see a commlink ID, that there goes to my personal ship - the Union Midgard. Have ya any interest in signin up, just send me a message tellin a little 'bout yerself and what yer lookin to find out here, and I'll get ya hooked up right away.

Christopher Thorn, Signing off."

*The screen flickers to static once more before showing the next message*
