Mr Rowe, you should have contacted me earlier about Mr Degroot as if
something traumatic has occurred in my absence and is not dealt with
immediately, the event might affect his piloting skills. I still owe Lost Star
Freelancer for saving my ship twice from predatory Outcasts and AIs which
wanted my money and my life, but thankfully under your leadership I was saved.
I will contact Mr Degroot immediately in hopes the damage is still repairable.
