Dear Directors Board,

Today, Friday April 3rd I was asked to dispatch the repair vessel DSE)Bolts from the Kyushu system to the New York System as the recent Nomad attack turned our Lane Quality Monitoring System (LQMS) red with mechanical problems.

Upon entering the system my tech "Bolts" was met by co-worker "Tech-1337" and the following report is from technician Bolts:

When entering the NY system at 18:38 SMT I was greeted by vessel Tech-1337 (piloted by supervisor Billy) who directed me to take care of the Norfolk and Manhattan lanes while he took care of the Pittsburgh and Colorado lanes himself.

The damage to the lane structures was severe and beyond I had ever encountered. The G2 and G4 assemblies had sustained no less than a 40% downgrade on the 4LS level and therefore we had to acquire some extra supplies from both Baltimore and Ft. Bush.

With these supplies it still took us about 52 minutes to repair all 4 lane entries. Since both my supervisor and I did repair work we cross-checked the repairs made as to comply to company standard CS-12B. It might be worthwhile to mention that while undertaking repairs we met several vessels including a slightly upset captain "James.Redcroft" flying an LSF tagged vessel. This individual was not very happy and even questioned our presence. Fortunately supervisor Billy managed to work things out.

After taking a mandatory 15 minute union break we headed off to the gates right in front of Manhattan while accompanied by the OS&C vessel Breezewood which stayed around for (as we were told) passengers whom showed a certain interest to witness the lane maintenance.
The work at the gates in Manhattan took us 30 minutes and we believe this has all to do with the excellent protection grid around the planet and the gates therefore limiting any damage to the lane gates.

Our last task were the lanes surrounding West Point Military Academy where both my supervisor and I were interrupted by the presence of certain unfriendly characters and when the naval forces showed up almost instantly we were questioned about our presence before they took off to pursue the threats.

Both my supervisor and I signed off at 20:11 SMT and both docked at Chesterfield Station. The material expense report has been filed through the regular quartermasters channel.

Suffice to say we repaired extensive damage to the lane gates and also encountered government officials whom, despite our systemwide announcements, were not at all times grateful for the work we were undertaking. We suggest a better line of communication with the authorities as to ensure DSE can keep up the work maintaining working trade lanes and jumpgates.

Signing off with acceptance of supervisor Billy Elliots,

Technician #69, Bob Kelso

On behalf of my technician,

Sincerely,

Lulatia Bellisario
DSE Representative Gallia & Kusari
