LOCATION: Planet Pittsburgh, New York
SUBJECT: Employee Report - on standby
Greetings, Chief Executive Officer.
I wanted to use this opportunity to introduce myself personally and thank you for giving me the opportunity to provide you with my services. I have arrived on Pittsburgh and familiarized myself with the company premises and its surroundings, as well as the office space.
Furthermore I have already requested and received access to all necessary documents to perform a routine check up of the company's legal situation. Over the next few days I will be checking current business contracts, so expect reports to come in gradually.
Most important however; I have officially begun my duties and from here on out are on call should you require my advice in specific legal matters.

Mr. Ashwood,
I like a man who gets straight to business. As it happens, I do have work of a legal nature for you. I was going to sound you out at the orientation, but I believe you'll want something to break your teeth on before then.
In short, I need a report on our latest legal standing with the Crayter Republic. How you acquire one is up to you, but for jeb's sake, do not offend these people. We may be doing business together, real soon.
[WEEK 1 SUMMARY] POOR MINER INCENTIVES ACROSS TWO SEPARATE LOCATIONS, MORE INFO NEEDED ON THIRD
Boss, the job was easier than I expected. Me and the Wayfarer basically waltzed right in, requesting a top-up. While our tanks were getting filled, I got to chatting with the dockmasters. Both Freeport 26 and Impala are offering a measly 30 credits per unit of ore. It's no wonder their warehouses are empty - I offered to find buyers for the refined product, but they said not to bother.
Freeport 12 is now a relic. I recall some comms about its decommission, so I guess that's a done deal.
There is one more station which may be a competitor however. The folks at Ionic Labs seemed to see through my ruse, and told me to go pound sand. It may have had something to do with the DSE transponder - I wonder if I'd get a warmer welcome if I came back in an unmarked hull. We could always vet a freelancer and send 'em off to snoop around too - your call.
I'm returning to Cortez to keep an eye on the ops. I heard that Pine-1 did good during the last call-out - should encourage some of my own slackers.
[OPERATION SUMMARY] TWO LIFTERS SUFFICIENT, PROCEEDING SLOWLY UNDER CLARION'S WATCH
Mr. Rolf, I am happy to report that the relocation is underway as I write this report. After some minutes of careful set-up, myself in Gasket and a colleague in Sprocket, I ensured the tensile strength of the catwalks. Clamping near the A and C terminus, we simultaneously applied thrust. The station remained whole, with no overt hull breaches or structural integrity warnings of any kind.
My recommendation is that we thrust at minimal power for the following 10 hours, crew to work in shifts. After the completion of the op, I will personally lead an EVA to perform a comprehensive structural inspection.
The Clarion is providing security for the op, and assures us that they'll be able to remain on station for its full duration. My shift is coming up in 15 - I will provide regular updates as time permits.
[03.04.2024 16:57:33] [DSE]-Gasket: It's time to earn our pay
[03.04.2024 16:57:47] [DSE]-Sprocket: Heya, indeed how do you want to approach this?
[03.04.2024 16:58:03] [DSE]-Gasket: Let's take it nice and slow
[03.04.2024 16:58:10] [DSE]-Gasket: Try the critical junctures first
[03.04.2024 16:58:19] [DSE]-Gasket: But if there's any stress, we pull back and re-assess
[03.04.2024 16:58:27] [DSE]-Sprocket: Sounds good, looks like all of the debris from that eyesore has been cleared out, so won't have any hassel there.
[03.04.2024 16:58:43] [DSE]-Gasket: Yes, no work for us there, heheh
[03.04.2024 16:58:54] [DSE]-Gasket: I think we'll start with the "catwalks" near A and C
[03.04.2024 17:00:01] [DSE]-Gasket: All right, all set on this end
[03.04.2024 17:00:14] [DSE]-Sprocket: I'm ready, clamps are attached.
[03.04.2024 17:00:20] [DSE]-Gasket: Increase thrust on my mark
[03.04.2024 17:00:22] [DSE]-Gasket: 3
[03.04.2024 17:00:24] [DSE]-Gasket: 2
[03.04.2024 17:00:25] [DSE]-Gasket: 1
[03.04.2024 17:00:28] [DSE]-Gasket: mark
[03.04.2024 17:00:39] [DSE]-Gasket: holding
[03.04.2024 17:00:49] [DSE]-Gasket: all right
[03.04.2024 17:00:54] [DSE]-Sprocket: Connection steady.
[03.04.2024 17:00:54] [DSE]-Gasket: this should do the trick
[03.04.2024 17:01:04] [DSE]-Gasket: pull back for now
[03.04.2024 17:01:21] [DSE]-Sprocket: Clamps undocked.
[03.04.2024 17:01:31] [DSE]-Gasket: We'll get this done nice and slow, over the next 10 hours or so
[03.04.2024 17:01:47] [DSE]-Gasket: Can probably be done faster, but we aren't getting paid for a quick finish, if ya know what I mean
[03.04.2024 17:02:05] [DSE]-Sprocket: Yeah, best to take it careful, god forbid this went south. I dread to think how many years it'd take to pay off those damages.
[03.04.2024 17:02:46] [DSE]-Gasket: Ah, Clarion. Stay on scene while we do the job if you will
[03.04.2024 17:02:53] [DSE]-Clarion: Roger.
[03.04.2024 17:02:59] [DSE]-Gasket: would be very unpleasant for someone to happen by and interrupt
[03.04.2024 17:03:19] [DSE]-Clarion: Indeed. I'll keep an eye on the surroundings.
