Summary:
Thanks, Congratulations and Request
Details:
Firstly, my thanks to you, Vice Admiral Malaign, for this promotion. I will not let you down. Secondly, congratulations to Commander Karlo. You're a good man, and I hope to be seeing more of you in space. About time you were promoted. Thirdly, it has come to my attention that a Lieutenant Commander has permission to fly a gunboat. I thought I would be courteous and go through the correct channels, notifying you ahead of time that I were going to purchase one.
It will be funded and piloted by myself, with an estimated crew of 23 pilots, plus myself. I have already taken the liberty of filling out the paperwork for:
1x Liberty Gunboat
1x Liberty Gunboat Forward Gun
4x Liberty Gunboat Turrets
2x Liberty Gunboat Defense Turrets
1x Cerberus Turret
As well as the usuals. I have contacted the quartermasters, who believe they may be able to find a reasonably new one sitting around, and can get it to me within three days. I will need help finding a decent crew who knows what they're doing, because going down to the local bar and asking for volunteers would be a bad idea. I may also need some assistance improving my skills with it, as gunboat flying has never been a part of my curriculum.
Reguards,
Lieutenant Commander William von Darkmoor
