RE: Attack in NY / Gunther Koch Retirement
Good Day Friends,
I have two items today:
1. I will be filing a formal complaint with the Liberty Navy today after gross negligence on their part last evening in New York. Despite having not one, but FOUR LN fighters on ONE pirate just inside California form NY, two Xenos were just inside New York causing all sorts of havoc. As soon as I entered New York, the Xenos attempted to stop me. I immediately radioed for help to the LN, but none responded. Thankfully, there was an independent navy cruiser, SLICE, who intervened, along with several other generous and brave passers-by. We all fought intensely all the way from the NY-CA JG until I could dock at West Point. At his point, I unleashed a torrent of complaint at LN, telling them to get in NY to assist in the battle still going on outside the station. "Make me," was the LN pilot's reply.
Needless to say, I am thoroughly disgusted, and will be notifying both our governments today.
2. It is with a heavy heart that I announce the retirement of our good friend, Gunther Koch, from Gateway service today. Gunther has been there just about since the beginning, was our first Trade Director, and helped get the company on its feet after our reorganization. He proved both wise and competent in all of his work. More than that, however, is that he was and is a good friend. I will miss him greatly.
