{ALT}To really get out of this hole and move freely around the whole planet, we need a supply of flying machines. Contacting thieves of mildly restricted, battery-powered craft came easy, as Jack's people operate a tuning shop for such used vehicles. Apart from getting fabulously drunk while dealing with them, we've also learned that to get access to Hellerium-fired craft, we need to get to the so-called Authorized Dealers (just a higher tier of thieves), but that requires better contacts within the financial sector, and the knowledge of Social Hierarchy. We can also try our luck with the Ship Junkyard, who can help us with constructing our own craft. However, we need to learn their comm frequencies. They also won't want to talk to us until we acquire certain tech-savvyness.{ALT}
