There could be - actually. My medical supplies are hitting rock bottom again and I can't get to Cologne for a fix right now. See if you can't get any clozapine on Gran Canaria - five crates this time (100 Units). Wire me the receipt and I'll pay you the money for it with a bit over the top.
Can you do that for me?

So did you know I was going to Canaria to pick up a Freighter or was that just a really lucky guess? Because sweeping the Skyline for bugs is now definitely on my to-do list.
Anyway, five crates of schizophrenia meds wasn't too big of a challenge, though I think the warehouse I collected the stuff from thought I was shipping it all to hospital or something. Anyway, due to the fact that the freighter I was picking up had a loader bot on board, I didn't even have to break a sweat.
I left the meds in a storage unit near the Wayfarer, since I had a feeling you didn't want the loading bot going onboard due to who it's owner is.
Still, Vince, in case you couldn't tell already, I did do a little research into these meds and I can't help be just a little concerned as to why you are stockpiling anti-psychotic meds meant for resistant types of schizophrenia. That list of side effects concerns me, and it's getting a bit hard to just shrug off the "I'm okay" talk I've already had a lifetime of from you know who.
Look, just...
[A brief pause came and was accompanied by a frustrated huff of breath being exhaled.]
I'm here, and would rather not be shut out if you're not doing well, alright?
Oh, and just in case you didn't know, your favourite group of Order spooks is hanging around the Gate, and still seems to have an interest in you know who. Sorry to cap it all off with bad news.
...Reb. You just told me that you were going on Gran Canaria. I didn't know you went to pick up a freighter, but now I do.
Let me mind the side effects, not you. I won't lie to you by saying I'm alright, but I'm not in the mood to talk about the why I'm buying copious amounts of this stuff either. There is a time and place for this kind of talk. The net is neither of those.
And yeah, I also caught wind of them. Understandably so, even. Something nasty is brewing up in Ontario and Coronado.
"Test the sharpness of your sword against another. And when that is not enough, unsheathe your cunning as the hidden dagger that ends the fight."
If that's what you wish, then fair enough. You have my line when you are ready with the where and when if you want it.
And go figure...
There's always going to be another shitshow on the horizon isn't there? Oh well, I'll be around anyway. Managed to quash the urge to disappear for the moment so... we'll see what the future holds in store I guess.
P.S. I was referring to the Freighter bit because you do know I wouldn't have been able to carry five of those crates on the Skyline, right?
I still didn't know if you had the Freighter or not. I asked whether you can do it or not - no further implications. One could say I was lucky to catch you at the same time you were flying a Freighter, yes? Pure luck, nothing more.
And yeah: there is always some grand scheme the nomads are pulling off under everyone's noses. The fight never really ends until either side wins or dies from attrition. Alas, that doesn't mean you have to be involved, Reb. You've got a personal life to care about. One that leads you pretty far from Barrier Gate of all places.
Anyhow. I sent 30.000 Credits your way for the trouble.
"Test the sharpness of your sword against another. And when that is not enough, unsheathe your cunning as the hidden dagger that ends the fight."
Uh-huh, luck or not, I'm still sweeping the Skyline.
But alas about that personal life... Well, like you said, that's also a conversation for another time or place.
Speaking of conversations though, if you're around and not occupied I might have something I could do with bouncing off you. It'd be interesting to see if you come to the same conclusions I do or not, but it's nothing urgent so don't let me take up precious time if you've got your hands full.
Regardless, I'll be round if you need me, will probably take another stab at California for Eisbach in the mean time.
Speaking about Eisbach. I got some fresh intel. Turns out the rascal was on the run for some time - trouble with the Unioners or something. Word goes that he took up on a routine job as a technician since going solo, until he botched some Freelancer's 'Dagger' here on B.G. Same one that employed your services to make sure the ship doesn't go unavenged.
This is no regular revenge. It's a petty hit on a guy that probably doesn't deserve death for something that can be fixed in a day or two. Now what does that mean for you? In short: the terms have changed. Bring me Eisbach alive by his own will or otherwise and I'll see this dispute sorted. Nobody needs to die, let alone over this.
Right. And I'll be around Barrier Gate for some time, so let's have that talk yeah?
"Test the sharpness of your sword against another. And when that is not enough, unsheathe your cunning as the hidden dagger that ends the fight."
Mmm...nobody is a 'shining example' around these parts, but I'll take your advice into account. Give me some time with Alan over here and we'll see how this whole ordeal turns out.
I'll send you a compensation for your efforts. Fifty-five thousand.
"Test the sharpness of your sword against another. And when that is not enough, unsheathe your cunning as the hidden dagger that ends the fight."
Hey, V. 'Fraid there was some sitch at Heisenberg that meant they weren't able to fulfil your order. Now, I was close enough to Canaria that I was able to divert that way and grab as much Clozapine as they could give me, but without details on that stronger compound you mentioned, I'm afraid that's all I was able to grab for you.
I left the crates in the same spot as last time. If you want I can go and try hunt down another source of the other med you're looking for, but I'll need to know what exactly I'm looking for.
Regardless, hopefully the Clozapine will be good enough for the moment while you come to a decision. Let me know if you want me to work on sourcing the stronger stuff.
