RE: Requisition of replacement mining vessel
I wish to requisition a new "Surveyor" class light mining ship to replace mine which was destroyed yesterday. First let me assure you that I am safe and well.
The DSE)P-24.Thunder had a mine dropper malfunction, which caused an armed nuke mine to detonate inside the launch chamber. Fortunatly the on board computer sounded the warning alarm, allowing me enough time to eject and get clear of the blast.
I believe this incident is another timely reminder for all DSE mining personel to exersize caution and to follow the DSE Safe Work Method Statement, perticually subsection 18 that deals with handling explosives.
The manual highlights how miners can safely and happily deploy and detonate high yield thermonuclear warheads.
I look foreward to rejoin the mining team, when a suitable replacement ship can be sourced.
