Do you want me to have a chat with Damien, or did you already?

Pack up and head to Barrier Gate. I cleaned up an apartment for you. It should be a direct upgrade to what you had on Ramsey.

Let me know if you need help with bringing 'Lumi' over here. And dump that 'Hawk' when you get here. You are likely to have pretty nasty fights out there. I can't have you fly that thing with a clear conscience.

I'm not stealing Damien's ships.

I'm on bristol. Got everything. Lumi is a tough bitch, but not that though. Whatever was left of our do-it-yourself fuel cells has finally died. I won't even bother with the batteries. I'm not risking that trip.

By the way. I lied. She's no Valkyrie, although these two share components.

When the war started, most of our recruits came from the Federal Police. We had to make do with whatever we had, which meant turning fucking pursuit crafts into space superiority fighters. If I tould you the truth about what we're dealing with, you would have never agreed.

Anyway, she's no priority now. We'll talk about her later. I need a ship with a clean record. I think I know where I can find one... You clean with the Federal Empire? I need a ride to Planet Hamburg, and I mean specific geolocation, not the space port.

So its a Banshee. Not the worst lie, but a lie nonetheless. Don't do that again. As for the extra piece of your history? I don't exactly care about the what's and how's. Not because I don't sympathize, but because it has no weight on the present anymore. At least not with me.

I don't know how you were doing things with the Alliance, but lying to me in any shape or form gets you nowhere. It muddles things up and gives me the impression you're trying to screw with me. You either tell me the truth or simply say you don't want to talk about it. I won't hold it against you either. Do we have an understanding on that?

Anyway. I can get you to Planet Hamburg. Best I can do is hire a shuttle under my name to get you in and out within a set timeframe. What you do there is entirely your business. Anything goes wrong you give me a call.

We do. I promise to work on it.

Shuttle will be good enough. If all goes well, we're meeting on Barrier Gate.

... and hey. Thanks.

Don't mention it. Now the shuttle should be with you in about three hours. Take some time to wind down. Get something to eat.

You'll have to be in and out of Hamburg. Five hours - no more no less. Any more than that and you risk getting caught red handed.

Good luck out there, Attu.

How are things?

Did you manage to bring over the Banshee? I have someone on the line that could help you out.

How are things...

Well, yeah. The quarters are a welcome change from Ramsey. Seeing people just going by, with no attitude or business towards you, feels therapeutic. Too bad I've lost my marbles alredy and can't talk to them though. Met a nice gal. She lost her home, just like I did. Should have empathised with her, said "I'm so sorry for you" or whatever. Instead, all I cared for was weather the chaimber was properly serviced on her Tiger Shark.

I felt nothing when she said that.

... with regards to Lumi. I might actually have to use that contact of yours. Fucking hell, not a single company is willing to give me even a cost estimate for towing up that thing.
