'Sequere Pecuniam'

Good evening, Miss Gains!

I am Captain Ian Throckmorton Searles, captain of the Independent Tradesman's Vessel Mary Celeste.

I frequently find myself in the Independent and Border Worlds, gazing out upon the boundless space that extends as far as my old eyes can see. Although I may appear old and decrepit, I've been known to have quite the adventurer's sreak in me in my younger years.

As a tradesman, I come to you offering the only thing I can: merchanting goods. I recognize that you have contractors willing to provide you with the supplies that you may need, but at any given time a trader belonging to a House shipper or another business could be occupied in port or moving cargo. That, miss Gains, is where my crew and I come into the equation. As an independent shipper, I am more than capable of moving supplies and personnel vital to your exploration efforts where they need to be, when they need to be there, as quickly and efficiently as possible, all for whatever price you may name.

If you wish to sign my crew and I to a contract, or pursue business with us, you may contact me over the Neural Net at any given time. I will do my best to answer at my earliest convenience.

With Warmest Regards,
Cpt. Ian Throckmorton Searles
ITV Mary Celeste
