The Port Cap says > you want to talk to me..." "Greetings, Captain." you get a video feed showing a man and a woman. Both seem happy to see you. The woman is speaking for the pair, "Captain Mitwell is correct." she smiles. "I am Joyce Ellis and this fellow is Link Orion, and we're the brokers here on Serbia." She says. "You don't happen to have a cargo aboard from Rosco Ollis for me, do you?" the man leans forward and asks. "I was expecting it this week, but it wasn't aboard the free trader that landed yesterday.", he adds with a touch of a frown crossing his features, "Unpleasant bunch that was, too." The woman, Joyce, jumps in, "We both have freight that needs to be transported, both toward Mark and toward Montrose, so if you're looking to fill your hold, then we're the ones to talk to." The man, Link, adds smiling, "And we *both* want to talk to you about any cargo you have aboard you might be interested in selling." Eris AKU GM
