I have been able to acquire a new facility for our group. Delta Mining Corp. is now in the majority possession of our holding trust and is under my direct command.
I would rather not go into great detail here on all the moving parts in regards to this, but suffice it to say I was able to take advantage of a situation over other parties trying to do the same thing, I think. Perhaps some things are better left in the shadows. The stations commander, Richard Regan, has agreed to continue as the stations chief of operations and continuity of operations should not be effected by this change. Ships are being re-tagged as Phoenix vessels and updates to stations public information systems are underway. I have assigned Commander Drake and the (\^/)Cressida to watch over the facility and patrol Delta for the time being.
At this point I don't see the point of changing the base name, as I will be operating this as a business for external trade for the mutual profit of Phoenix.
There is a small matter I want to bring to your attention, and seek your advice on.
As you may remember, some time ago we established official trade relations with the group who controls the Lab Reactor facilities, Toccata Industries Corp. I have been informed that their has been some unusual activity from this group over the last few weeks. Most notably, Phoenix and former DMC ships cannot dock or trade here anymore. Both entities had asked for and received docking privileges which have been revoked for some unknown reason. With your blessing, I would like to investigate this further. Seeing as you can see the Lab Reactors from DMC's front door so to speak, I think it is important to establish were we stand with them. If something has changed between Phoenix and ~TIC~ we should establish what happened and work towards smoothing out relations rather then let a competitive relationship form that I believe will hurt the both of us in the long term.
