Hello again, this is Evan Black. We've been happy with the Harmless Freighter's service to us, and we heard that you made some new cargo ships that can fight.

Now, I'm not talking about the Recycler, that'd be a little too suspicious. And your salvagers are great ships for what they're made to do - but that's not what we do, so they're pretty pointless for us, and I doubt you'd part with them anyway.

I'm interested in the Combat Service Freighter. Like the Collector, it serves our needs as a heavily-guarded ship that can move enough cargo from place to place. If the terms are similar to those surrounding our Collector purchases, I won't have any objections.

On a related note, because I want the Collector to become our primary escort craft, I'm going to give you access to most parts of our employee roster - pilot names, ship IDs, and ship types. This should make recordkeeping easier for both of us. Here is a link to the file. You won't see much, security reasons and all that, but it'll keep you up-to-date on all our ships.

There is one last issue I have forgotten to address. The Collector that Drake brought with him when we hired him had Barrager Photon Cannons mounted, and we have not gotten around to replacing them - because we haven't had reason to even use them. But, our typical Flashpoint lasers have been shipped out to more bases; if the Barragers are an issue, we can immediately replace them and return them to a Junker depot.
