It's that time again, folks. With the constant flux of imPorts coming and going, I've lost some employees, and am looking to hire again. Ugnaught Moving Company is in need of hands who can lift heavy objects, load them into a cargo container, then transport that container from one city to another. We're based in Nonah, but service all porter cities, and we're looking to expand our operations into other cities to always be there when an imPort needs to move.

As well, I'd like to reach out to other imPorts who own and run their own businesses. I'm thinking it could be good for us to get together, share some tips and tricks of the trade, talk about self-publicity and all that. How do you get the word out? How do you stay on top of the market? Feel free to respond here, or contact me on my private line.

Yours in good fortune,
Lando Calrissian
Owner and Administrator, UMC

[bespin]

A race from my galaxy. Known for being hard workers. There's more information in the link.

That's good to know. I might keep you on stand-by.

[h2no]

i dont expect pay but dont tell them i'm the health insurance

[bespin]

Of course not.
I have your number.
Thanks, Archie, I owe you one.

hey, lando

i can still run shipments for you guys up until the 8th, but i'll be full time with the air force after that

sorry, bud

after boot camp i can take any heavy loads as long as its in my offtime

[bespin]

You enlisted, huh? Good for you. Knew you couldn't sit on your heels for long.

Thanks, though, I appreciate the help.

[flightforfreedom]

yeah. technically i tried enlisting a couple months ago, but they only took my application seriously after the attack on the space station.

not going to be a combat position, but at this point? all i really want is to be seated in the damn cockpit again

but no problem at all, you know i'm always happy to help

[bespin]

You're just not made to stay grounded for too long. It's not in your blood.

I'm glad things are working out for you, though I'll be damn disappointed to lose my best cargo pilot.

Some of my employees use their enhanced strength to help move furniture and the like.

[Okay, be cool, Major. It's Lando. Lando. Don't be weird. You're perfectly qualified to respond to this message. Don't blow it.]

LANDOOOOO my dude!

[Crap.]

uhhh that is, i'd be happy to help out with your business. what's the point of muscle if you don't use it? also, i run my own gym for imPorts. would be happy to have our own small council a la westeros to discuss all of that.

[bespin]

Major, how are you!

I don't know what westeros is, but I'd be glad for the help.

[majorlyugh]

[God, this is SO COOL.]

doing great! business is going, so i can't complain.

oh, it was a .. fantasy land with .. stuff .. kings and whatever. anyway, that's too long a story to get into.

do you wanna meet up over drinks and/or food? or are you trying to get together a big group of people?

[bespin]

Certainly, we can meet up. I'm not sure whether a group would be any better than one-on-one meetings.

You rang?

[ He's literally expecting his good name to be enough for Lando to connect the dots. ]

[bespin]

[ He's heard of Tony Stark, alright. You don't start an imPort-run business on this planet without hearing about Tony Stark. ]

The man himself appears! I'd love to pick your brain.

[liverletdie]

[ Even. Better. ]

Hopefully not literally?

I'm always happy to help facilitate more import-run businesses. You know, as long as they aren't competing with StarkTech. Which...yours doesn't seem to be doing.

What other type of business do you want to meet? I only have a coffee shop, I'm not sure it'd fit your idea.

[bespin]

Any sort of imPort-run business would be fine. I just want to know how you market yourself, what your experience has been, who your demographic of customers are, etc.

[ghoulking]

I worked at coffee shops back home and here too. it made sense to me to open one when I decided to open my own business.

And I never really marketed my business, it just... happened. I guess because I'm an imPort. The coffee shop is for everyone, though, including non-humans.

I run my own antique business in Maurtia Falls.

I'd be interested in an exchange of ideas.

[bespin]

Sounds wonderful. If I end up putting a round table discussion together, I'll let you know.

[cleptes]

Wonderful. I look forward to hearing from you.

My name is Bela by the way. Bela Talbot.
