Hello there, Mrs. Zora... Zoara, right. This is Tobias G. of the Orex Industries. Mrs. Zoara, it has come to my attention that you are looking for employment, correct? If that's true, I'll need to hear more about you, namely your brief history, previous employment (if any) and what you want to do here. Just to get to know you.
I can tell you right now that job here ain't easy, lots of shit is happening in the Smelter and I certainly don't need workers who'll come here and leave after few days. So if you wish to work hard, it will pay off... just don't waste my time, got it? Good.
Feel free to reply to this channel, I'll be around.
It's good to meet you. You reached the right ship, sir, but Zoara's the name of the boat. Woman your man spoke with is Topeaka Bowman, goes by "Tazer". She's my chief engineer and first officer.
My only officer, actually. Between the two of us and one bot, we run this clipper on contract for people needing things moved safe. Before we ended up with this ship, we both had our own business. Me, I'm a Houston man. She's a New Yorker, though she's been working in space a damn sight longer than me. The details wouldn't interest you, but we aren't going to make trouble about politics. Whoever Liberty squares up with isn't up to us, but we've got the same thing every working Libertonian's got: bills that need paying.
I'm a pilot and a decent mechanic. Know my way around vehicles, sharp with a gun. Done some appraisal in my time. Bowman's the professional with our main drive and computers, and she handles comms and bookkeeping on-board.
Up until now, we've been running quick jobs found by a third associate of ours, finds us loads to pick up and drop off without much fuss. We're all freelance, so the job can change by the day.
Word of your new operation, though, got us thinking about a longer-term relationship.
We were originally just looking to pitch in on the iridium mining front for the takeaway, but since your man on the Tonga said you were looking to expand, we can help move that material on top of it. Our ship's got some teeth, too, so we can field as a light PT boat if harassment by fighters is on your list of concerns.
That's the whole of it, Mister Tobias. If you got a use for contractors, we're fighting fit.

Oh well, I'd say my bad, but it was some other fucker that messed up your name. Regardless, good to meet you Neville.
Can't lie to ya, so far, I like what I'm hearing. Pilots and mechanics we cannot get enough, there's always shit that needs fixin', tendin' and whatnot, not to mention the hauling part of the job, which, from what I can understand, is no stranger to you.
Here's the deal Neville, you and "Tazer" can either go on as independent contractors or you can come work for Orex where you'll get an actual salary and won't have to go around lookin' for deals. So take a minute, think about it and let me know, but don't take too long, I've got shit to do.
Oh and yeah... if you do decide to come and work for Orex, be sure to leave your contact here.
