As I piloted my ship towards Lorville, my excitement was palpable. I was about to meet our first MULE by Drake Interplanetary; an acquisition after months of hard work and negotiations. I was very eager to take delivery of the multi-purpose cargo hauler.

I was making my way to the landing zone, I quickly realized that things were not going as smoothly as I had hoped. The traffic control tower was giving me faulty guidance, and their misinformation was causing a major backup in the landing queue.

Frustrated and impatient, I finally managed to make my way to the designated landing pad, only to be hit with a fine of 2000aUEC for my tardiness. And to make matters worse, my CUTTER was impounded due to a paperwork error. That was another 5000aUEC for fines.

My responsibilities while I am in the role; CEO of Premium Air Transport, is to ensure that all tools are in place to empower every member of Premium Air Transport in exercising efficiency and accuracy in all aspects of our operations. This incompetence from Lorville’s traffic control is unacceptable and a blemish on the reputation of one of the Verse’s major landing zones and has potential to cause delays and complications for numerous others, down the line.

I will not let this setback dampen my excitement for the potential of the MULE and its various applications in our business. And with Defensecon just around the corner, the Syndicate’s excitement for our partnership with Drake and the possibilities it brings for our future endeavours is only growing.

But make no mistake, Lorville can suck musky manifold capacitors for this unnecessary delay and inconvenience. I expect better from the major landing zones in the Verse.
