CNS Exclusive - Hudson soon to be lost?

*He steps up and stops in font of the mirror, running a comb through his hair and then straightens his tie. Checking his watch one more time, he turns, moves over to the podium he had set up in his office, hits a button and turns on the lights. He squinted slightly at the brightness until his eyes got used to the light, taking a quick look at the review monitor to his left to make sure the lights and camera were getting his good side. "Why bother to check which side, I don't have a bad side" he thought as he watched the monitor for a moment, once again straightening his tie and jacket. Turning to the camera he paused a moment to gather himself and then hit the record button on the remote built into the podium"

Greetings ladies and gentlemen.
First off I would like to express my thanks to our CEO Miss Carrington for clarifying that Planetform plans to be here until the end, which ever end that may be. *chuckles softly* Now that we all know Planetform is not going anywhere, I would like to extend, to those fighting to avert this catastrophe, the aid and support of Planetform and what resources we have.

I am authorizing the station manager of Cold Bay Depot to open his doors so that those companies working on this situation may use the station as a staging point. We are also inviting those refugees from the other stations and bases that are too close to the jump gate to use Cold bay as a staging point. Our doors are open to any and all that wish continue with they commercial affairs. All that we ask is that ALL organizations, parties and people consider Cold Bay as neutral grounds. That means check all grievances, hostilities and chips on shoulders at the door. Any offenses against another person, their property or their character shall be dealt with swiftly... Meaning individuals will be escorted to your vessel and asked to leave the station and not come back. Corporations and their representatives will be escorted to their vessels, all cargo stored in the Station bays will be confiscated and docking rights removed. *sighs softly* Much as I wish it wouldn't happen.. I know there will be inevitable arguments and such so we will have a team of mediators on hand to help with any disputes to hopefully avoid having to evict anyone from the station.

*chuckles softly and glances at the monitor to make sure its still getting the best shot,
shifting slightly to the left before continuing*

Ok... now that we have that out of the way... I have contacted the station managers on Planet Harris and Methyr-Tydfill for updates on available stock of Tungsten and Fluorine. As I had hoped, Planetform has a good supply of both on hand to help. We have cargo vessels standing by to transport Fluorine into Hudson for any cooling needs that will be required on or near the jump gate. Tungsten is ready and waiting to go out as needed to foundries and factories to help build replacement parts. Just tell us where and how much and we at Planetform will get it there. *he pauses to check his notes*.. Ah yes.. Just on the off chance, I took the liberty and contacted the station manager over at Caernarfon Station. He stated that his station also has a large stock of drill bits waiting and ready to go out.

*he stops and takes a drink of water, feeling a trickle of sweat run down his back he prays that it doesn't soak through his shirt until after this message*

In an effort to help out as much as we at Planetform can, I have been authorized to offer the technicians and repair staff from Cold Bay to help on the jump gate itself. The tech and repair staff from the rest of our bases are also standing by or are already en route to the Hudson system to help our allies and neighbors in this time of need. *bites lip to stop from laughing out loud as a thought crosses his mind.. "I wonder if I could get Clarissa to temporarily demote Lincoln and stick him on one of those repair crews.. would love to see that smug bugger crawling around actually having to do a days work and get himself dirty"*

We at Planetform take this situation seriously and will continue our support throughout this crisis.

If there are any questions or requests please contact me and I will do my best to get you an answer or direct you to someone that can answer you. Requests will be processed as quickly as we can.

*He smiles into the camera for a couple more seconds before hitting the stop button on the camera, flicking another switch and turns off the lights , taking breath as the air rapidly cools once they are no longer baking the area.
