Greetings, Bristol,

New month, new commission.

With fresh recruits joining our ranks, and veteran crews recognizing the Bulwark’s value over the old Whale. I’m placing an order for three additional Bulwarks.

As always, if there’s anything you need from our side, just say the word.

Jonathan Cayran, out.

Good afternoon Mr Cayran,

I see now that the note Mr Molitor left for us was, in fact, not a complete lie - we would be hearing from you again. I’m glad to see your veteran crews discarding the ZBT-1002 in favor for a more armed approach - such experienced people know what’s best for their well-being, and there’s nothing quite so dangerous in the Omicrons as flying with no protection. Of course, you don’t need to hear that from me. What’s that phrase about old habits? You know the one.

Akutan Production Facility currently has two hulls ready for sale at 15.000.000 cr per, with a third currently being outfitted with primary systems at Alster. As no materials are required at this time for the third hull, I’m authorized to accept payment for all three. There will be a mild delay compared to the others for the third vessel, of course, so if you’d prefer to withhold payment until trials are completed that is also fine. Transfer the funds when you’re ready to account Akutan.

I look forward to hearing back from you, Mr Cayran.

Greetings Miss Hull,

That’s good news, and no worries about the delay. We understand our steady stream of Bulwark orders puts a strain on your production lines.
The time it takes for their crews to reach Akutan should be sufficient; in any case, we have business to settle on Erie.

No need to wait for formalities, we’ll transfer the funds now. Your reputation in our community speaks for itself.

Good afternoon Mr Cayran,

I’ve confirmed payment with the Financial Department on Akutan. Erie! It’s been a second since I’ve been anywhere near there. I hope Rachel’s was still open by the primary port, that place has saved my soul more times than I can count. Triple espresso is life on the third leg of a trip, you know.

In any case, the hull codes have been sent to you.

Fly safe, Mr Cayran.

Greetings Miss Hull,

It’s barely 0800 and I’m already seeing double. Either I cut the alcohol or check the relay alignment.

Codes received and verified. Everything checks out.

Our crew will collect the ships shortly. Thanks again
