Subject: Commands of Transport Ships Giant Sloth and Princess Fiona
Greetings, dear ladies and gentlemen.
It's been a while since I have been at the command of both the Stork Class Transport Train Giant Sloth and the Uruz Class Battle Transport Princess Fiona.
I have had a hard time having to deal with the paperworks, maintenance and crew regarding such vessels.
While I am more enthusiastic of risky runs and favor the Princess Fiona, not finding an adequate captain for the Giant Sloth has put a tremendous strain on me.
After extensive talks with the crew of the Giant Sloth and with the help of their former captain, Andy Austin from the Miner Division, I have decided to officially step down from command and crew of the Giant Sloth.
The new captain of this transport will be one of the original crew members from back in the day when the Giant Sloth was named "Hiyama Bridge". The new captain is named Kaneda Hoshiko.
Mr. Hoshiko was a colleague of our dropped-out pilot Jirou Hiyama and as such, has expressed the will to change the name of the Giant Sloth back to Hiyama Bridge as an homenage to his colleague.
Me and Austin have expressed our opposition to this name change as it was done to elude some of our enemies, including those that forced the dropout of Jirou Hiyama.
But the Guild knows better if this name change is to be allowed or desired or not.
In the meantime, I am growing weary of the command of the Princess Fiona.
I seem to not be quite fit to run bigger ships and their crew...
I seem to have very sharp opinions that most of my crew does not share.
While they all are loyal to me and to the Guild, many of them seem to become increasingly divided and the crew as a whole is loosing its working potencial as a team.
One of our technicians, Mr. Franz Hartmut, originally from Rheinland, has left in the meantime and joined the Mining Division, after having amassed enough credits for a Surveyor class Fighter.
With this situation, along with the increasing threat of pirates (certain Maquis, Farmer Alliance-oriented folks and even a particular group roaming Rheinland) plus my desire to train my military and fighter-pilot skills, I hereby express my wish to step down from the command of the Princess Fiona and join the Paramilitary Division, including a full academic and practical training on all kinds of fighter skills and tactics.
As soon as I have discussed with my crew a suitable captain for the Princess Fiona, I will provide further details.
As an informative note, the Giant Sloth is currently docked at Aland Shipyard, Omega-3 and the Princess Fiona is currently docked at <strike>Freistadt Base, Omega-7</strike> Falster Base, Omega-3.
