Good day, Congressmen. C. J. Meeijn speaking here. I'm not too good with words and elaborate speeches, so I'll make it brief.
I feel like I'm getting old. My kids have grown up and became self-sufficient. It was a great effort to ensure their future but now I'm kind of redundant. You know that ambivalent feeling that overhelms people who have achieved their personal goals. It struck me hard.
Recently I decided that there will be something more in my life than sailing through debris fields and collecting scrap. I've always esteemed The Congress, so this application was an obvious consequence.
Maybe, if I'm lucky enough, one day Sirius will be a place where Junkers will be respected and honored rather than despised.
Oh. If we are to work together, I'll have to tell you some important things. I hate mindless, unreasonable violence. Also, I was always trying to maintain a good public image. Or at least good relations with local authorities.
- C. J. Meeijn
