Greek mate? At home we call it chinese.. or "spanish villages".. not the faintest idea why..
A word of advice in the matter of comm equipment to bluff your way in if you're talking to a pro:

• 1. Always use ACRONYMS of usually 3 letters (ie. RAM, HDD, FDD, CDB or so)
  
• 2. If in need of longer words, afrikan.. "Ubuntu", for example, "Bantu" comes to mind too, or use other weird words like Tualatin, Coppermine and such.. you can always use names of american cities like Chicago, Memphis... Buffallo..
  
• 3. If the pro asks what is it you're talking about, you can always answer that it's a hush hush project by Microsoft or a similar company...

Aha ... The Bluffers Guide to Technology for Big Dummies ... You should be writing that
one mate. As long as the sodding thing works I don't care what the bits are called ...
Though "Coppermine" has a nice ring to it. As for the acromyms never really got futher
than CAT or DOG ... Buffalo is a drinking game in Bretonia, you don't want to go there.
Less said about that the better. My liver still has the scars. Salampasu has got to fit
somewhere then ..

No need to re-invent the hot water my friend, that one is written by someone else, though.. it may need updating though.
Another book comes to mind... "The Complete Dummies Guide to Pirating". It was interresting to see two players over level 80 trading so free in the Border Worlds today. What do you think of that as an idea?

Thats good to hear old chap ... Order a copy for me will ya. Be nice to chat PC bullsh*t
with the lads in the bar and sound like I know what I'm talking about. Then again.
Never seems to know anyway.
Ah pirates ... The broker was happy to hear that. If it carries on we may get the no
claims back again. Not like the old days ... Eh. Couple of good old boys would have
robbed em blind, soon as look at them. Can't complain though ... Easy money to be
made now then ... Shame really ... Taken the fun out of a run ...

Well old man ... Been a bit quiet around here for a while. The staff have been disappearing
left, right and centre recently. Bl**dy holidays. Never mind. Good to be behind the wheel
again. Though I can see why I don't do it that much. Sheer tedium ... No bar either.
I'll be back in the office soon. Got to fix the Gaggia ... Sure you would rather be here.
My ship needs a damn good service too ... Bits seem to be falling off.

Old friend, I've been quite busy recently myself.. too much admin work, setting up the secretary.. what can I say? The other boss needs his percentage.. new old traderoutes on "walk the beat" paths. The new IDs are Neutral I figured so I bought those. Tell me if you need a few I'll provide some for you at a cheap price.
Some of the staff apeared and went away, one of them got so high on something.. he was all about flying Vipers.. - God what is the Sector turning into? Flying snakes.. what's coming next?
Still no pirates yet.. must be a good sign after all.. the Black Pearl is not anywhere in sight.. people talk about it as if it were a legend.. a ghost ship from the past, with pirate sails from the blue seas of old Terra.

Good grief ... Go away for a few days and the whole show ups and changes. Whats all
this new admin stuff with ID cards ... Thought the government shelved that idea for a
while ... To expensive to bring in. Neutral sounds goood to me though ... get a pack of
buggers ... Suppose we will have to toe the line again.
Vipers ... What ? Lost me old mate. There is some catching up to do I fear ...
No pirates still then ... Make hay while the sun shines. Rack those credits up ... I hear
there are lots of really dear new toys to test ... And a I think a new train is in order ...
There is so little of the current one left now ... Time for a treat.
One threat from the Pearl and It just vanishes ... Not good form.

The IDs seem to be a big problem for people... good we didn't choose Zoner ones... real hard to get I hear.
A rumour mentioned making trouble in a few bars then going to bed with a few of them... depending on the prefferences I guess.

I hear these ID tags are being a pain ... Zoners, eh. Not my favourite bunch of dopeheads.
Though they do pay top dollar for the odd delivery of the old synth mj and definately
a crate or two of passengers ... Can't complain about the returns on those runs.
Mmm ... Bar fights. Bit past that now old boy. If you want to piss them off, just shoot a
couple of them out of space ... And as for sleeping with them afterwards, not my idea
of a good night out. Bit dirty for my palate. Think I would just pay the asking price a
couple of times and stay clean ... Still no accounting for taste these days

Apologies for being away for so long, I'd gotten a tip from a rogue that there was a massive shipwreck full of loot somewhere in the barrier ice cloud in the magellan system.

Typically I found out the hard way that I'd paid good money for utter rubbish and had to spend sometime looking for the rogue who sold me the info. His hide is now nailed to my hull, and his buddies want my head.

Anyhow, I just wanted to thank you for showing me that trade route and the shipyard that sells the large train, I'll get you a crate of sidewinder fangs and have them waiting for you on manhattan.

Cheers!
