Honored Lane Hackers,
Me longboat fer use on me Pilgrim liner is a salvaged and Junkified Hacker Gunboat. Nae longer th' fine ship she once was, she still suits the needs o' me crew with dignity. Officialy, she's registered to me Pilot and Sailing Master, R.Murphy, callsign 'Dropkick', but we keep 'er in the tertiary bay on the Wake.
She was found drifting in 3 pieces in the Grande Negra, and hauled back to Beaumont for work, with much expense. I'd hate ter lose 'er, and would be willin' ter discuss some kind o' liscensing arrangement.
Yours,
Tim Finnegan.
Postscript....
Please contact me via secure channels when ye've the time an' the patience. I've an offer for ye and a favor ter ask ye. This involves the Roleplay set up in POST #3 HERE as well as a request in Special Roleplay Requests that is pending approval, for a vastly underpowered Spyglass chassis. The initial Lane Hacker request can be found HERE, in post 119 on the Lane Hacker Diplomatic Channel.

EDIT: The aforementioned ship is now a dustcloud in the California system, thanks to that bloody rat, Infamous. I'll have his hide stretched over my command chair!

This is the Captain of the Hacker Gunship "Mortus". I deem reporting my name or the names of my crew an unneccesary formality and will abstain. Home base is Mactan in the Magellan system. Let the records show that I captain this ship with honor and under Hacker colors. I have never refused aid to an ally, nor shown quarter to an enemy. I am sending this message to request continued commission for my vessel. Good hunting friends.
