Message TO: Edgar Winter
Comm ID: Patrick Boone


Welcome Edgar, and don't call me 'sir', we're not in the military and I don't need the reminding of my days in the LSF (paranoid buggers)!

Yes, come for a drink or twelve or until we need help reaching the drinks from under the table. We'll discuss the allocation after that - if we are able to find one of the four, I'll let you call that one home, deal?

On a side note - make sure no one follows you!

Sorry chief, better late than never as usual. Got the package needed, though need to
pop back to NY to finalize loadout, using a pair of backup pieces to fill in at the moment.
Bloody Order won't sell me the other necessary either. Hmmm.
Paperwork to be sorted asap. See the kid brother beat me to it again, getting slower in
my old age. Someone mention alcohol ?

Just show up at the meeting place pilot! Enough formalities! Come join for a few more under the table. Gonna make an awesome party. After that we go sort out the nuts and bolts on our Vipers and we'll try finding some Interspace stations.

Make sure no one follows you!

O Y Knot!

Any room in your Escort Band for an acoustic 12-string and a gravelly voice?

..seem to have time on my hands lately, waiting for one or another shoe to drop..

Now to see if there's still "a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes.." ..or flows from, in this case.

Just don't tell anyone that the pilot is older than the ship design, eh?

Just tell me where to hang my replica vintage-1940's leather flight helmet.

Eat a lot o' peaches,
Pops

P.S. Interspace taggie thingie required? Allowed to smoke in the cockpit?

Of course you can smoke in the cockpit. Just watch those things, I don't want you to literally set yourself on fire... as for the tag and ID thing... it would be good to have you green in my HUD in the middle of a fight, so, yeah, it would be required. I'll guide you on private comms if needed, it's quick and easy.
Further on, welcome to the party and look over your shoulder while coming here!

Tired of the slightly smug jibes concerning my mode of trading transport, I have upgraded
the 'Old Dog' of an L-Train, to the current prefered method of credit collection around here.
The 'New Tricks' is now a Container Transport, and while the extra dosh per run is a great
bonus, I'm missing the ability to tail wag my way through O-5, without clipping an asteroid
or two ... Damn, this things as big as a block of flats.
While Romer seems hell bent on making his nav-map recreate the nothern star system,
the current objective seems to be the elusive level 90 ...
So last one there is a sick puppy, and gets the beers in for a whole week ...
I think 10 mil is up for grabs as an incentive here.
Remember the old 'GG' adage ... 'Greed is good'
That is all.

Bloody Hell,

Do I have a mess to clean up with the Insurance blokes,

A new skin for the Daddy W and a hold full from unmentionables gone in a second! It seems that someone has waved a magic wand over the 'shortcut" to Omicron Alpha. The Outcasts or the Ghosts of Razzie have planted hedge rows, and the bloody things are rife with thorns!

The trip up last night with engine thingies was a breeze, but all hell broke loose on the return leg less than 30 minutes later.. My Hud was so red that I couldn't even glimpse whatever new appurtenances they've added up there.

Look out, you lot. Another trade route bites the dust.

Running right on your tail J! I had to help Faruk set-up that VIP business, I'd be in front of ya otherwise. On a brighter note, examine better, the CTrans ain't so much bigger than the LTrain as it seems. You'll get used to it, no worries.

Just a little wort of advice on the Outcasts: the folks at Ibiza aren't fond of crashdocking. Are you sure you didn't try to pull such a stunt on them?

No, Lad,

I'm usually very polite and "by-the-book" with those folk. We exchange entheogens and contemplate navels together.

This turned out to be operator error. Someone spilled a Saphhire and Tonic into the Navs console, and it added or subtracted a digit on the waypoint setting..

In other words, I was in the wrong flippin' pew to begin with.. So, I'm not filing a claim with the Underwriters. They'd laugh me right out of the office.

Carry on,
Wrong Way Pops again
