Gateway Comm System: OPEN
To: All Personel
From: Aaron Power, Canterbury
Subject: Status change
Good evening friends,
I have an announcement to make: I'm forced to withdraw Canterbury from the lines and put it to dry dock for extensive repairs. Routine check yesterday discovered microruptures throughout the main hull. Luckily they were not large enough to cause major breach, but they definitely significantly decrease the structural integrity of the ship. The causes of this technical problem are unknown so far, but I will find out sooner or later. Everything indicates that I may already bought the ship in this status. And if it is the case, someone will pay for it dearly. I have a confirmation of a complete technical checkout dated just prior the transaction.
Nevertheless, no more space travelling for me for some time. I have sent those of the crew who are not required during the repairs on an extended shoreleave and commited myself to the course of advanced piloting. I will try to check the comm system regularly, though.
Godspeed
Aaron
