"Ahem! Koolmo here, bloody early for all this nonsense, what? The Kruise is over... somewhere, right now, waiting for cargo. And now that I'm here, did I ever tell you about that time, back in the nomad wars, when we had a CTrans with all Solaris turrets on it being used as a gunship to fend off the hordes of-"

Hey now! Whats with all of them spinning pins in my daggon posting! This aint no kinda sideways recruiting gambit! Now someone point me to the vending machine where I can get one of them eternal apple peelers.
Mal, I'm going to need you to re-create your IND at once. I can't explain why now. But it's extremely important.
There's a slim but not insubstantial possibility that a grave situation might be intimately tied to what could be... A situation.
As for you Koolmo, don't be going on about your crazy stories here. Every time someone mentions gunboat shooters on a transport the antigrav goes haywire and everyone starts screaming about balance!
Listen here buds, you told me to tell my old war story in the thread, so I told it in the thread until somehow the transmission got lost and in any case this is a run-sentence, so I won't be continuing in this vein!
"-Nomads and infected rheinlanders they were, swarm of them, not to mention the pirates all taking some easy pickings on a legitimate trader! Now, me and Charlie McDougall were in tandem, gunners blazing away like there was no tommorow, when off to my left I see this great flash, and just as I turn to look this great blue jellie-"

Jasper Crenshaw here, signing in. I tried the whole desk-job thing and it didn't work out- I want back in space. Paperwork will be on the desk shortly, make sure there's a transport for me when it goes through.

***Re: S*it Creek Paddle Store***
This is Benjamin Eppstein, and yes, if Jay's been gone as long as he has I think it's time we got somebody to balance the books...I keep getting creditors sneaking onto my Train in the bilge compartments, it's getting annoying, and I really think it's about time somebody upstairs did whatever job that needs doing...oh, and when is my invoice for that bloody Royal Liner going to get addressed? I'd like to get the old girl sailing again shortly, if you don't mind, the Red Royale is too pretty a ship to let sit in the docks for months on end. Also, you all have reserved suites on the upper decks. Come visit us. Pillow mints optional. Several different types of room service available.

Been keepin' a low profile of late, pirate boys threatenin to give me trouble. Of note, i've found a nice little route which almost never has any of the bad boys around it, except maybe a few of our "friends", if you know what I mean. It pays a little less than the other routes, but the amounts I hear people spendin' on them free passages means I reckon I get more.
You wont believe me when I say that Omicron Gamma is one of them safe places where ya pass through, but hell, despite the hordes of Corsairs there, they've never caught me!
Oh, and Koolmo's right, ya know. I once had a Container Transport with twelve gunboat missiles, and the plant didnt even budge! That we're the good times...
