MSE: Nah, don’t take that job. Pulsar Supply[1]‘s no good.
GHT: Why not? They’re paying more than enough. Supply runs to the UESC.
MSE: Remember J?
GHT: Yeah. Shame.
MSE: The whole rig went up, right? Blew to pieces.
GHT: Heard it was a cargo malfunction. Loading error, something.
MSE: Remember what she was hauling?
GHT: Hygiene, nutrition packages… Basic supply.
MSE: Yeah. So what kind of loading error causes a transport rig full of that to blow up?
GHT: Fudged manifest?
MSE: Think so.
GHT: What for?
MSE: Transporting weapons, but didn’t want anybody to know they’re transporting weapons. Best guess.
MSE: Saad took a job with them, too. Didn’t let him load with his own equipment. Did it all on their own, made him go caffeine up while they did.
GHT: Huh. Weird.
GHT: Why write it as stable cargo? Could’ve said frack-welders or enriched fuel. Something that needs proper hazard procedure.
MSE: Seems like a gift, doesn’t it?
MSE: Little under-the-table discount for the UESC[2].
GHT: Right… Soap’s a lot cheaper than guns.
===================================================================
[1] Shell company for Traxus OffWorld Industries.
[2] One of many, in fact. Traxus and the UESC have several suspicious transport deals through a variety of shell companies like Pulsar. I wonder what the UESC did to get Traxus feeling so generous.
