Sorry it's been so long. The PAs had the whole landberg locked down for about a week. The semaphore station is still "official business only", but since this is headed to the Flotilla I'm hoping it will be close enough to count.

You'll never guess who I ran into at the counting house just before everything went down. OK, considering the circumstances, maybe you would guess. But I shouldn't go into it right now. In any case, it's good to see old friends still doing well and still making questionable choices.

Do you remember mom? The older I get, the less I can remember what her face looked like. Did she even have a face? Last week I asked one of the older pickers - remember Nettie, ve was part of the gang when we were still at it - how mom's doing. Ve just rolled vis eyes. I think… maybe we're supposed to forget?

Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I'm still saving up my credits for the down payment. Don't try to talk me into spending them on myself, the garage is my dream now too. With all those engine chops you're picking up from working on fancy Fleet skyships, and with my boundless charisma and business sense, we can't lose. Just gotta keep at it until you muster out. Fore's gonna be pissed when I quit, of course, but she's always pissed at something.

Shit, this went on too long. Guess I'm gonna spend some of that down payment money on flagging fees anyway. I hope this finds you well, and your next shore leave doesn't get delayed again. I love you.

Your patient husband,

P.S. Frickin' husband! That is still so cool to write.

The Beluga catches up to the Easy Operator, and the battle to free Quell from Battra's (inexplicably hesitant) clutches begins.

Quell tries a new trick to slip out of Battra's grasp, and, well, it almost works. Thankfully, Augustin's gotten pretty good at launching the Beluga in a hurry.

You've heard of a fixer, right? Somebody who knows the territory, your first point of contact. You need a fixer for this job, Hass, not more credits.

next time I meet with the Board of Conductors, they're going to want a status update, and right now I don't have anything to tell them. At least nothing good.

Your desk's budget is discretionary. If you're really sold on staffing up a buoy out there, you could move some things around. But if you don't show results fast, I'm gonna cut you loose and start over. Fair warning.
