My Vice President of Transport Operations, Tracy Kent, and I were visiting the Diamond Bar hoping to catch you for a proper face to face introduction, but it appears that you have been busy meeting with the board as well as seeing to the base upgrades.
Tracy has recently joined Saint Logistics from the Bretonia Merchant Navy and is as dedicated to the success of the company as I am. While she will not be visiting the Solitaire Metropolis, due to her assignment to other contractual obligations, you may see here in our offices or in the hanger from time to time. Feel free to contact her if I am unavailable as she has the same access to our contract records as I do.
I would like to thank the board for the generous offer of reimbursing fifty percent of the costs accrued from any "donations" demanded by pirates. While we have had encounters with them before, and fully expect to in the future, I've always considered it part of the price of doing business when traveling between house controlled systems. However, I will take you up on your offer and add an entry onto my reports to reflect these expenses.
Our Serenity Transports Saint Logistics and Saint Transportation are undergoing upgrades to their systems as well as in-house rehabs of some of their crew areas. After a quick shake down cruise with each ship, where we will be testing the upgrades to ensure they are operating as expected, we fully expect to be ready resume normal operations.
