Greetings fellow employees, you might have noticed that I have been absent for
a brief period of time due to coming exams. As you might have heard, I'm
attending a medical college of Kyushu every working day for about eight hours or
more, trying to gain Kusari citizenship and finally getting a recognized diploma in
the experimental science branch. I will now return to my duties as a recruit of
IMG's R&E division, but will reduce my activity in the transportation and mining
division because of lack of time. I hope you will understand that my education
and personal excellence has to come before my work no matter how much I
enjoy doing it. That also means I will require funding for my research projects
such as surveys as I will not be able to pay all the manpower and equipment
myself. Mr. Henderson was very kind and paid the expenses for the previous
surveys, so I can now go on and persue other project such as the Omega 3
survey. I'm very interested in what actually happened to my survey reports the
private investor wanted IMG to conduct and to what conclusion did we come as
to where the base will be constructed.

I would also like to inform you that I am now in possession of a Corvo class
cruiser exploration vessel for which the Sea Trading Company will pick up the bill.
It is currently docked at Java and was christened IMG}{{Hope in memory of the
ship I came with to Sirius a few years ago. The crew from my Uruz transport class
vessel has already been transferred to the Corvo and a new batch of officers
have been hired to man the Uruz. I will also attempt to install counter electronic
warfare software onto the cruiser to equip it for deep exploration missions more
appropriately and reduce the risk of hacking as well as stealing the precious
research data I may store there.

Within 72 hours an expedition to Omega 3 will be mounted and hopefully with
the help of Carl Ostermann from the Heisenberg Research Station who I will
contact in less then 12 hours, we will be successful and report our findings to this
channel.
