Essen Station; First brief.

[Kruger]

The pile of paperwork on my desk had been filling my time for days as I read it and decided on acceptable parameters that benefited Kruger and the entire contingent of employees, from the miner to the clerk around me, including my secretary, who wouldn't give me a moment's rest. I was constantly reminded of the many commitments I still had, consciously telling me that there was still a lot of bureaucratic work to be done, such as meetings with suppliers, the board of directors, and shareholders, as well as the staff, who constantly needed to be motivated and instigated by improvements that would achieve all their personal and family goals.

Well, there she is, reminding me of all of that [important blah blah blah, of course]. Finally, she finished, and I sighed with relief at having completed so much that I had already resolved with her help. Now it was her job to guide the digitization process for her other employees at the Essen Station Office and send them to destinations in various locations across the vast Sirius.

I was ready for a drink and perhaps a little exercise to maintain my physical structure. Eating well, sleeping at least eight hours, drinking plenty of water, and always having a devotional time with the Creator aren't enough. Physical structure, despite the labor that many consider a curse, is actually a blessing. And I, with my business responsibilities, have to stick to a workout at the gym to compensate for the physical labor that would give me great pleasure to perform alongside the frontline workers in the mines or transporting them for various purposes, whether for refining or, after processing, commanding the supply by personally transporting it with the crew of some freighter. Like: Kruger to the galaxy's systems.

That's when my secretary re-entered my office. There was, I believe, a note of concern in her expression, due to the amount of work she was coordinating for final resolutions after we'd agreed on the guidelines together. In her hand was a tablet. She placed it on my desk and said, "Mr. Mecker, that gentleman who was with you before, a Junker, has accepted your invitation to join our functional team. From what I read, he's already begun investing in acquiring a base to work on something I haven't yet figured out what it is." I interrupted her, saying I would get back to my friend Hanz Vonbek as soon as possible.

Upon reading the information he mentioned there, I realized he had indeed joined our ranks, so I promptly activated a Kruger parade order to have him uniformed and properly documented for service. I also noted he has three mining vessels, two transports, and the crew to operate them. That's invaluable. A key contributor, who enhances Kruger with this functional and collaborative appointment.

I asked Margareth to introduce him to my office. She left, and he soon entered. Full of energy and courage to pursue his goal. We greeted each other, and after reminiscing about some happy experiences, we discussed current concerns regarding his projects, as well as long-term goals. Then we said goodbye. He left, and for a little longer, I spent some time discussing what we had agreed upon.

Therefore, regarding Hanz Vonbek, I authorize him to obtain all commodity operational facilities, maintenance necessary for his production and commercial supply purposes at our base, as well as access to this office to resolve any issues with me and/or my secretary, who has the authority to grant authorizations on my behalf according to my previously established instructions, only.

I hereby dispatch and sign, both for sending and for encrypting a file in the annals of Kruger Mineralien.
