Greetings, All!
A fair day today indeed! Mr. Koch and I entered into space (from two separate points) to find our new recruit ready for setup. I therefore have the pleasure to announce the hiring of Mr. James Calvert, captain of the Darrowby. Please give him a warm welcome.
Mr. Koch could not stay due to systems malfunctions. However, Ms. Esther Carson - a capable escort I've hired before - offerred her services, which we gladly accepted. At about the same time, we found Mr. Bowman flying the Kingstone. The four of us then formed a convoy and did a run to Rheinland and back. No major troubles along the way, so it was a pleasant maiden run for Mr. Calvert.
Oh, I should say that Mr. Koch, Mr. Calvert and I ran into a Bowex vessel, the Chamberlain in Cortez. I believe it may have been their CEO himself. Not a gentleman, though that should not come as a surprise. Be cautious with any Bowex ships you may meet. They may attempt to goad you into a confrontation, as they have in the past, but do not succumb. Remember, they'll stop at nothing to shut us down, so let's not give them a reason.

Hello everyone, hope i find you all well.
Completed several Pullman runs today mixed with a run to Liberty and back to Leeds. All was quiet with nothing to report. Pirates seem to be thin on the ground, which is good. Welcome to the company Mr Calvert and i look forward to flying with you.

Greetings Friends,
We have made quite a company, we have, and I am very proud of all of you and your involvement. Gateway would not be what it is without you, and I owe you all a great debt of thanks.
I wish to announce that I will be heading into semi-retirement soon, and thus we shall begin a search for a new CEO (//faction leader//) for Gateway. I shall remain on the Board of Directors, and I will continue to captain my dear ship, the Trafalgar. I will be around to advise the new CEO in any way she or he needs.
For the next week, the Board will be accepting in-house applications for this position. Any of you who feels qualified and is interested should feel free to send a letter of intent to me via PM. Please include the following:
1. Experience at Gateway or otherwise
2. Reasons for interest in the position
3. What you feel you would bring to the position
At the end of this week, we will make the vacancy public and take applications from around Sirius.
Greetings friends of Gateway shipping,
It gives me great pleasure to announce that you are all eligible for a gift. Because of a generous donation, given by Alisdair Buchanan, onboard the Trafalgar.
Next time one of our vessels passes near you just mention it and you shall receive mystery gifts. I want to again thankyou for your donation to a noble cause, and for your offer of use of Kensington Shipping Platform.
With vast gratefulness on behalf of the Zoners Abolishing Slavery, Coriko Lameos

Sir Alisdair,
Although your decision was not totally unexpected, it still grieves me a lot. Gateway is your child and it won't ever be the same without you at the helm. Only good thing I see now is that you are not leaving us entirely. All I can do is to thank you for all your efforts and achievements here in our company. Good luck in your next concerns and enterprises.
I wish you all the best.

Hello Friends,
First, Mr. Power, thank you for the warm wishes. They are well received. To be sure, I'll stay around and about to help the new boss; I can't take complete leave just yet (except of my senses, perhaps).
I write this to let you know I am having to push up the public announcement of the open CEO position - probably sometime this weekend. Circumstances have prompted me to do this a bit earlier than I intended. However, letters of intent from within Gateway will still be given priority.
If you have not considered this position, allow me to encourage you to think carefully about it. You have the support of an impeccable DTO, Mr. Gunther Koch, and I will be happy to assist as well, though not to interfere unnecessarily. It is a good opportunity and can be quite rewarding.
