MADDOX: Ser... Arris, isn't it?
LEV ARRIS: Yeah, thanks for telling the whole world.
MADDOX: Word has it you do odd space jobs here and there?
LEV ARRIS: What of it?
MADDOX: I found my old grandpa Doug's journal. It's a MacArthur model 6 journal master mark 41.
LEV ARRIS: Lucky old grandpa Doug.
MADDOX: Don't mind if I do, I'll have a beer. You'll have to speak up, ear drums got a little dented. Too many explosions.
LEV ARRIS: What's your problem?
MADDOX: Next tuesday. Now, came across an entry, he left an old warehouse full of hardware on Bex, just before he died. The equipment is still there.
LEV ARRIS: I think I get the picture.
MADDOX: No, I'm not religious myself. All you've got to do is go and pick the stuff up. Clever guy like you should be able to do that.
LEV ARRIS: Yeah, but how will I know how to find the place?
MADDOX: Just land, and a friend of mine will have the stuff loaded for you.
LEV ARRIS: What's in it for me?
MADDOX: My knee is fine. It's my ears.
LEV ARRIS: Payment.
MADDOX: Oh! 6,000 and I'll throw in holo book I wrote about military hardware through the ages.
