Hello there,

I've only just been released from my employment in the Armed Forces- who knew you could be conscripted into a desk job- something about my "management experience helping to optimize their logistic efforts in the post-war reconstruction" which sounds pretty bullshit when you consider I trained at least 3 replacements for my position- Ah I'm just ranting now.

Right. I popped back to good old Kensignton to find not only has some bugger nicked my office, they've redecorated it in the gaudiest knicknacks this side of Sirius. I need to get out of Bretonia before I go crazy, and thats when I saw a report for your trading post in Kusari on someones desk.

If you're needing another transport captain out there, I am in dire need of stretching my space-legs again. Someones got to show Bowex how its done, and it aint gonna happen sitting on my ass.

-- BROADCASTING MESSAGE -- Mr Boreal, so nice to hear from you! It's quite amazing the range of positions that the Armed Forces conscript for, but in time of need all must do their duty, I suppose -- even if it means that Gateway employees get conscripted at three times the rate of Bowex employees, anything for Queen and country, aye? No matter, you're back and we'll take care of you just as we would any other employee. Visit office Twenty-Seven A on Kensington. They'll sort out your papers, and you can opt in to having them auto-file your taxes for you as an employee with Caledonia if you'd like. Welcome back. I'm looking forward to meeting you on Kanagawa!

Christ Elize,

This is just bringing back repressed memories now. I swear, some of those bowex captains, as soon as the peace treaty was signed, ink not even wet on the paper, its like a switch went off in their heads, turned off all their brains..... Wouldnt even trust them to pour piss from a boot with the instructions on the heel. No wonder the armed forces wanted someone with actual training around.

Office 27-A you say? I'll swing by and get all the lovely paperwork that keeps things ticketyboo signed, and be on my way. Well, I may have one last good bye for my old office planned, but if you hear anything, 27-A is my alibi alright?
