This just in from our Bretonian Stock Market liaison, Tim Athy:

Bowex stocks have taken a sharp dive today in an unexpected fall in productivity from the trading giant.

The nationalised company working under the Bretonian Crown normally renowned for an enviable work ethic and unimaginable profit had some sort of disaster today as company pilots' speed and normally rushed technique sunk, and their polite tendency to allow other ships ahead of them in Trade Lanes and Jump Gates went overboard with it.

Giant ships which normally contribute billions to the economy weekly were near at a standstill today, some stopping to communicate with travellers of irrelevant things, and others going so far as taking the behemoth ships sight-seeing, gazing at stars, nebulae or passing traffic.

While some critics have labelled it blatantly poor work ethic, others have blamed illicit substances, and the explanations range from these to contaminated company air filters leading to "oxygen-drunkness".
Quite frankly, it seems no-one in the public knows how to react to the wide-spread failure of the company today.

An anonymous insider source, contacted while in space could only give out a whistling tune, which Neural Net matching software likened to an ancient melody. It is believed the hypnotic melody somehow affected a leader of the corporation, leading to an exponential spread through the chain of command and modes of communication with the company. It is not known whether this condition of laziness and optimism are contagious, however should you begin to whistle, hum or sing this unfamiliar tune it is recommended you visit your health professional immediately.

Treatment for the condition by one employee of Bowex, a Mr McFarlane - who refused to comment - seems to have been effective, by threatening the lazy workers with pay cuts, fines, and punishments which could not be repeated or otherwise understood due to dialect interpretation issues.

It is believed Bowex will have recovered from this odd condition by the opening of tomorrow's market and recover its lost market worth today, lest the company risk any more.

That's all from today's Bretonian Commerce update.

This is Tim Athy, signing off.
