[Video | 002: Trade Negotiations]
[It certainly hasn't taken Pepper long to both find a desk and have it covered (neatly!) with papers. Although the backdrop is the overburdened hospital, and although her hair is back in the sort of no-nonsense ponytail that says there's been no time to properly wash it, she looks much more in her element: grave, precise and direct as she looks to the camera.]
The supply situation at the hospital is getting critical. We've managed to stretch things a few more days, but normal resupply rates won't keep pace with the demand in the wake of the fire. There's a settlement to the south of here where some trade has been conducted before.
Is anyone interested in a trade mission? Do you have any useful skills you can bring to bear for one? Travel is dangerous here, I've been told, so bodyguards as well as negotiators could have a role. You'll also need to be able to work with the local population -- this is a show they've been running a lot longer than we've been here.

Re: video
I'll let you know as soon as we're ready to muster out -- working with the locals is proving a challenge. I'd recommend getting a gun, though -- there are bandits along the route, and we'll be returning with the most valuable commodity this world has. I think I remember...
[She trails off, glancing down at a smartphone and flipping through a few apps with an abstracted expression.]
Yes. A woman who identifies herself as Commander Shepard was on the network offering to share some weapons in exchange for services rendered. I believe she's the one with the dinosaur.

Yeah, that sounds like my department.
[Man, even in the afterlife]
I'll get in touch with her and see if there's anything I can do.
Re: video
Any specifics you need to know about the route, tactically?
