Forms, always forms. You archaic paper-pushers better have my space bits ready when the bounties roll in. Last time I didnāt get paid, they were awfully sad that I didnāt use the āproperā space station exit. If you stop by Vortl-9, they might have some jobs for fetching all those space-popcicles I left behind.
Hey! Why does this thing have the corners cut off? Are you trying to cut me?

bump!
This system is quiet. Damn quiet. Howās a freelance businessman supposed to turn a profit without any victims customers?
Where are @davide405, @bizmail_public, @Felipe_Budinich, @Mister44, @peregrinus_bis, @kingannoy, @miasm, @SmashMartian, @medievalist, @awjt et allā¦?
Last aye heard of Captain Underpants heād opened a tavern on the moon in the Cromulent-7 system. Something about the gravity being conducive to a new method of distilling.

The same as always: ā'Self-interested cooperation is the basis for all successā
Iām a trader. Iām not emotionally tied to any cargo, so long as it turns a profit.
Is there a bar nearby where we can can get to know each other? Cromulent-7 is a bit of a jump from here.

Deferred, please. I like the interest rate ā hopefully the inflation rate isnāt as high

the sharpie drawing will be along in a few days.

Ah, Falkayn.
Your reputation, at least, precedes you.
I am not overly familar with this system, but I have located a place on Joshua-3 that might make for suitable neutral ground. Come one, come all. The more, the merrier.
Transmitting nowā¦
That said, I wonder what you can have to say of benefit to me. I didnāt get into this business to have any relationships. I donāt want to join your union. Donāt paw at me with your dirty little guild.
I do so hope you wonāt be wasting my time.

Just a gabfest so we can learn a bit more about each other. Enjoy some pleasant spirits before it all gets ugly.
Of course, if you prefer to operate with less information than the rest of us, thatās certainly your choice.

Iām in pursuit of some elusive Quarry which might take a little more time than I thought, so you guys will have to take it from here.

Hmph! Lightweight! Iām digging around that same Quarry, plus working a full-time job, plus starting another job, plus harrying the spaceways in a sparkly guitar spacecruiser, plus raising two young children, plus co-writing a screenplayā¦
(oh god, what the hell am I thinking?!)

Seriously, Smash, donāt use the (somewhat hideous) example of Badass Dragons of the Wasteland to scare you away. Pat runs a much tighter ship, and as he noted in the intro to the first Badass Space Dragon,
Estimated time commitment is no more than 5-15 minutes per day.
And yeah, though you can put more into it than that (everyone certainly knows I will), you donāt have to. Cāmon. Play Space Dragons with us!

Hehā¦ I wish that were the case! Iām awful at managing my time, and I overcommit like nobodyās business. I started the screenplay because, honestly, I thought thereād be a couple more weeks to kill before Pat would get BSD started up again! Plus, I thought my new show was going to start at the end of March, not the beginning!
Well, anyway. Iām committed to all that stuff, so Iāll see it through. Weāll miss you out among the stars, but read along if you feel the urge. Itās a hoot and a half.

Itās a little different this time around. Iāve moved to a weekly schedule. It should be easier on everyone and hopefully weāll have fewer people drop because of time commitment issues.

Iāve got time to alight on Joshua Tree.
Funny bit. I always forget itās got a pleasant enough colony, because Iām still smarting at how the last SPACENAV update included a complimentary copy of the album of the same name.
