MESSAGE FROM: President Walker J. Laurey, Former Captain of the AKS Santa Fe MESSAGE TO: Vice President Arris Green, Temporary Captain of the AKS Santa Fe Dear Arris, I'm glad the AKS Cross Cruisers are serving you and the command well; I'll have to thank Jess for her team's work on those magnificent ships. Hopefully Ian isn't being too unbearable; he's a great friend but he can get a bit hard to be with at times. Enough of that, though. Your objective here is to attempt to contact any intelligent life that may be out there, you will be flying out in the cosmos for six months, then you will return. The cruisers have enough food and life supplies for eight months, but in case they somehow burn through them, or you are forced to be out there for longer than that, I'm sure the AKS Santa Fe will have more than enough to resupply. I'm sure you're excited to do this though, you've told me numerous times about how you hate Wazohli Alohmki and its constant snowing. I don't blame you. Also, I know you've been wanting to captain the AKS Santa Fe, so this is your opportunity to do it. Take care. Walker
