Bonjour, Monsieur Valmir.
Monsieur Kelly is indisposed at the moment, so I'll be taking over for a little while. I was planning on having a chat with you about your proposal anyway, as there are quite a few points I'd like to discuss with you.
You see, as the Director of Operations, it is my job to ensure the safety of the company, the security of its assets, its reputation, and most importantly, its operations, as the name of my job points out.
You see, you claim that if, hypothetically speaking, we were to create such a thing as a "tourism division", our, again hypothetical, Liners would be able to operate on their own. While it is indeed a possibility that such a vessel would be able to survive unaided in most environments, it would certainly be unsafe. And as you well know, safety is paramount, even more so with human passengers rather than cargo. Which means that every ship should be escorted. It is entirely possible to hire more pilots and purchase more ships for that purpose, however you need to keep in mind one of our organization's primary objectives. We are a company, monsieur Valmir. And what does a company want the most? Profit. I shall admit that this idea has quite a few possible benefits. However, these benefits are not guaranteed, especially due to the very high prices for the Liners, pilots, crew, and all the other things that one needs in order to operate a cruise industry efficiently. As such, the future of the Tourism division shall depend on one thing: results. I will be blunt, monsieur Valmir. If the results are unsatisfactory, or if you mess up even once and get people killed, no matter how small the number, consider the division ended and your career in OSI... terminated in the case of deaths, and most likely severely hampered if you fail. They say that pressure is often a good incentive. We shall see.
For now, I suggest that you limit the size of the division as to avoid any critical losses in the case of failure, however that is a mere suggestion and you are free to hire/tempt/trick however many pilots you wish into your little enterprise. Please do send the Security Division a message each time you are about to set off so that we may accompany you. You shall also report weekly on the results of your trips. Bonne chance.
Sincèrement,
Marie Nemesis
