Skipper... Good name, easy on the tongue. Though as much as I agree with the burden that comes with becoming a member, 80% is simply the deduction all members are supposed to make, regardless of their ships. The initial 20% is merely an introduction fee to ensure new employees are not strained too hard. I must decline your proposal.
The offer still stands, should you wish to fly a Borderworlds Transport. You will keep 20% as your burden. This is my initial and final offer, unless you want to take it all the way to the President?
Take your pick wisely, Skipper. You will find 80% is not all that bad. And a Borderworlds Transport is a pretty ship, you know?
Take your time,

DSE)Falkirk LOG:
Well... this will be the last time I log from Falkirk. The shipyard has declared her engine core unusable. Fatigue cracks were beyond repair in the main housing.
No worries on the miscommunication, I am all straight now. Had our crew a little worried if their benefits were lost.
Now they are eager to commission the new transport. *smiles* We all know it's long hours dialing in a new boom and aligning the system checks.
The crew and I will transfer to our new transport once we find berth to Duluth.
I will report again once we have her lane worthy.
Your decision is respected. I will pass this information on to the President. I will also grant your wish to thank him and her ladyship the Vice-President.
Safe flying, and for you I hope you find a better profit elsewhere.

In regards to todays conversation between you and our Chief of Departments, Kenzo, we wish to extend our apologies for the miscommunication that appeared to have occurred. Kenzo made an error in his explaining of our taxing scheme, and sadly a misunderstanding took place.
In regards to your rank within our corporation, we had posted you as a skipper as you were piloting a employee class vessel, and we had not heard from you in recent times. With a number of pilots AWOL at the moment, we were finding it difficult to keep track of who has access to what vessels.
In light of all this, I hereby grant you permission to obtain the crane, and we welcome you onto our members committee.
Get back to me as soon as you can with your new ships registration, and post into the roll call.

Ok lets see... *Cough* Harry Crumble from engineering here. I currently am held responsible for every scratch on two vessels, one eagle, and one... antiquated repair ship.

DSE)Goose LOG:
Our new home is DSE)Goose along with all the extra conveniences she brings.
We completed a trip to Okinawa with 959 gate parts.
Our return was empty and a good thing. Kusari had their patrols in full swing.

Greetings DSE, James Carter reporting in from DSE)Nighthawk, my sincere apologize for not having made an entry any sooner, been out of transmission range for quite some time now. To top it off we had a ... *szzzzztttzzzz* ... hit the tran ...*sssssstttzzzzzzzz* ... So I've been trying to get it all up and running since. Unfortunately several of my crew members feel ill due to ... *sssssttzzzzzrriiiiii* ... and it's caused us all sorts of problems.
I'm happy to report though, that the DSE)Dakota is still in safe hands, I believe it's been captained by non-other than our President from time to time, or so the news was from the last briefing I received.
Myself and the crew should be back in ... *sssssttttrrrziiizz* ... sometime soon - so keep your eyes peeled for the ol' Firefly, she's held it together so far, we hope she'll do the rest of the distance until we can get her safely into the re... *ssssttzzzz* dock's for a full review.
I'm sending through all the details on the ships that I current hold the flight codes for - As per the request that just came through.
Happy flying and see you out in the midst of nothing ...

You should always put something intelligent in your signature. After all, its there to assist people in understanding how your mind works..... I couldn't come up with anything, so I left mine blank....
In light to recent discussions and the inability for myself not to tell people how it is, it is decided I needed a PA, other then Jess Doe who handles other important agendas, to speak on my behalf on important matters regarding foreign relations.
Effective immediately, Rick Petrone is now the Head of Public Relations, officially known as Human Resources.
All enquiries regarding shipping, financial assistance, complaints, appointments and accounts will be directed to him when Jess Doe is unavailable. He will process and deliver them too me in relevance of importance.
Currently, James Carter will oversee all transport related issues until an official Head of Department is employed. .
Times are dark at the moment with the Kusari aggression in the Sigmas. We are looking for pilots willing to work for some extra cash to escort freighters delivering H-Fuel to Liberty. If anyone is interested, please put your name forward as soon as you are able.
To all pilots that have not signed the latest rollcall, we thank you for your service, but have come to the conclusion you have abandoned your employment with us. All vessels will be repossessed, and you will no longer be considered an employee of DSE).
Good work the rest of you, things are good for DSE) right now, and it is all thanks to you guys, our great company. Be proud of yourselves, we are of you!
DSE)Goose LOG:
One round trip to the construction site in Tau-23. Kusari seemed down right chilling, not a major patrol in sight.
Maybe this is the start of a deteriorating embargo.

Beryllium: 4797
The normal cut was transferred to operations.

The trade lanes have been productive with small exception to a Molly named Calamity.Jane.
Watch out for her in New London. She makes a affable pass at the station then heads down the lane to wait for you.
Later hooked up with upper management and fulfilled several deliveries.
John Doe introduced a few new contracts along with a personal escort. The Goose will be busy now.
The following points were completed.
Gate Parts - 959 - Waterloo
High Temp Alloy - 4797 - Hamilton Station
Gate Parts - 959 - Houston
Basic Alloy - 4797 - Ft Severn
Milt Vehicles - 959 - BS Concord
