Hello, Son,

Couldn't help but notice your ad blitz on the commercial comms channels. As one "riverboat gambler" to another, I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.

I also ran the "Daddy_W" as a flying Gambling Hall/Passenger Liner for a while. Hopefully you'll have a higher caliber of clientelle than I was able to entice. After about the 30th voyage, I became disillusioned with the life rather quickly. It's amazing the attitude of the majority of "tourists" in Sirius. It seems that for the price of a passage and a few trips to the tables, they seem to think they "own" you and your bloody ship!

Suffice it to say, I'm now peacefully piloting a CTrans, with no one to tell me that the caviar is bland, the tables are crooked, or that I should keelhaul the chef.

But enough of my tainted experience as a "pleasure barge" Cappy. You're young, and seem very enthusiastic about your new career. I wish you all the best.

(A shame about the timing, tho... could have sold you my entire casino setup for drastically less than those Spa & Cruise boys were gouging...)

Warm regards,
A fellow visionary
