Deputy Arbiter Wild Bill

Howdy,

I got some good news an some bad fer y'all. I'd rather git to the good first. We've got James Trenton back. He's alive, an that's all we really know presently. He ain't conscious yet. Turns out he was bein held by one of them Colored Rogues. Feller pounced on the whole idea of gittin credits fer his return. Mia Trenton is handlin his recovery. I'm keen on talkin to him soon as he's awake.

As to the bad news. This feller demanded a fairly steep price. Sitiation bein what it was, we agreed. Carolina Outpost is under this ADDIC feller's control. Wasn't now ways round it. We ain't clear on whether this feller is willin to work with us, or, if'n he's fixin to demand more from us. Fer the moment, I'd steer clear of him. If'n y'all have any negative runins with this feller let me or Mia know. Don't risk yer lives when dealin with this feller. We ain't keen on his motives yet. At some point we may be needin someone what is willin to watch this feller. Fer now, we got James back, an that's whats important.

As fer James' flagship JunkerTown. Been sightins of 'er round Sirius. We're payin fer any sightins or infermation what can be gathered. If'n y'all is able to capture 'er all the better. Best y'all keep in mind, ship ain't worth nothin to us if'n it's been scrapped, an pilot ain't worth nothin if'n they're dead.

Sincerely,
Wild Bill, Deputy Arbiter Junker Congress
