Personal Log YC113.12.21

~James sets in his habitual pose watching the grey tide through the barrier. ~

James Syagrius > All of the active capsuleer team from Advent, save Kiruss, are now in my care.

~James picks up and sips something hot from an unfashionable chalice. ~

James Syagrius > Ava ~smiles to himself~ is fairly much into his own pursuits but understand the boundaries of this involvement.

James Syagrius > Kat is all and all an asset.  Since his arrival our profit margins from trade in refined product have increased markedly.   Having someone of character to rely on gives me an unfamiliar satisfaction.

~James takes another sip of the beverage. ~

James Syagrius > The addition of the brothers Polix ~takes on a sly grin~ has added an element of the impulsiveness to the jumble that is now Reclamation.  Their instinctive competitiveness is honed razor sharp buy their fraternal rivalry to outdo each other.  I hope their move from G.I.P.A. doesn’t overly concern Bastian.  But be that as it may, they are happy here and we are happy to have them.

~James turns to face the omnipresent displays on the far wall. ~

James Syagrius > Our daily pull of Blue Ice has increased even with the occasional efforts of the Goons and their minions to disrupt operations.  Our take has raised to a respectable two to four hundred units per day.  This coupled with the increase in refining capacity related to Kats skill, the addition of an Orca to our fleet operations, regional coordination with friendly corporations, and our revised agreements with Astral Mining, have grown our margins appreciably in the past week. 

James Syagrius > Inquiries regarding purchases of stock have come from unforeseen sources, but all have been respectfully declined.  Reclamation is ~pauses for a second, and with more gravity says ~ a family affair.

James Syagrius > I concerns that Bastian has been planeside for so long.  Considering my experience with G.I.P.A.’s, C.E.O.’s  I have learned to expect anything.  Taking into account my recent interactions with "them",  I have wondered aloud who is actually in charge over there. 

~James turns back to once again face the sea. ~

James Syagrius > I have visited Kiruss twice since he returned to known space.  He seems unsettled and there is a melancholy about him that concerns me.  I fear this will lead to ~pauses again~ poor choices.

Log Ends.

“A hard ending maketh a good beginning.”

~James watches as a tiny full body holoimage of Kiruss Dasun hovering above his desk.  He is dressed casually. His voice is somber but he speaks clearly as if each word is chosen carefully. ~

Kiruss Dasun> “Salut Investors,”

Kiruss Dasun>  “It is unfortunate news I come to you today, while your investment was a healthy amount this month I am afraid that you shall only be receiving one more of these payments. A decision has been made that Advent Ltd. will no longer continue operations past the 12th month of the year YC113. It is with that announcement that I will now detail the process for the next month.”

Kiruss Dasun> “Operations will continue for this month, profits will be made, a dividend payment will be distributed on 01.01.YC114. It will likely not be sizeable and will mostly consist of the profits from operations we will be scrapping together as we make the efforts to remove the tower, modules, and assets to be liquidated, and for those of you who have visited Pas La Fin you know how isolated the system is.”

Kiruss Dasun>  “At anytime you may send me a request for Advent Ltd. to buy back your shares, since it is a decision made by us we will be buying them back for the amount that they were sold to you (11,111.00 ISK/Share). But be advised that these requests will not be accepted after 07.01.YC114 and your shares will be worthless.”

Kiruss Dasun> “If you have any questions about this process you can contact me anytime.”

Kiruss Dasun> “Fly safe.”

~The holoimage flickers to standby then disappears as James taps the surface of his desk. ~

~James leans back in his chair sipping a hot beverage then setting it down in its saucer~

~Speaking to the system A.I.~

James Syagrius > “Clara please contact Kat Robspierre and notify me when he responds.”

A Traitorous Eye.

~James watches as a tiny holographic person hovering above his desk speaks.~

Tiberious Thessalonia > "That is why I have joined Nation, friends."

~Tapping his desk the tiny figure vanishes.~

~Raising his cup to the empty office.~

James Syagrius > "Raze if you weren’t dead I would have to say I told you so."
