Kelly Klaufenburg here, this time i am not reporting live due to the location of our ship at this time. we are over 20k ly from the bubble already. its incredible in just a few days. anyway, today have i got an episode for you. i spent some quality time with CMDR Heartless, who even got me a few moments with the ships CMDR Darkflemish. Aside from that stress levels began to rise when we arrived at our first point. the reason for this is it seemed extremely unusual to all on board for us to stop for the duration of time we have stopped for. We have hit our first refueling point along the journey. unfortunately only 2 CMDRS are present onboard the ship to actually help with the refueling efforts. to anyone wondering there are no other humans here this far out at least not in established stations. we arent alone out here a few of the staff and passengers onboard have headed over to the neighboring carrier in the system. exchanging culture and food and good conversation. Anyway, im on the Grand Concourse of the carrier and talk about a lively place. imagine the weekends at a shopping mall, this is the place to be. stores, restaurants, entertainment, and the ships rec center is here which is where the space pool is... cmdr heartless asked us to meet her at the rec center pool. when we arrived talk about a view, the entire ceiling and one wall are solid glass. this pool was enormous, but beyond that this was a water park. there she is, CMDR!!!!CMDR: Kelly!!! Over here. im so glad you made it. so what do you think of the trip so far. i know you were concerned about the accomodations but what do you think?
Kelly: Cmdr this place is amazing!!! i never thought the ship would be like a cruise liner inside. Its incredible to think that 2 full sized corporations are operating here, it seems more like a vacation.
Cmdr: Kelly we redesigned the interior of the ship about 2 weeks before we began this trip. we found that the staff on board were displaying elevated levels of stress due to the rigid overall design, and cold metal feel. Im impressed with every agency that came to aid us on prepping the ship. 2 weeks to add all of this. have you been to the dance club yet? that one i personally designed.
Kelly: I went last night actually i was shocked the entire bar was surrounded with glass, we could see ships taking off and landing as well as the view of the stars. everyone there was having so much fun.
Cmdr: Kelly mental sanity on these trips is important due to our commanding officers diligent planning and careful calculations we are going to have a trip that has very little of what is known as space madness. when i ordered the redesign on 6 different decks everyone looked at me and shook their heads. but we have to make sure that space madness does not set in. because of dark we are taking this trip in style. shore leave has been granted to all non essential personnel in heartless enterprises so they can visit the neighboring carrier. while myself and dark work to refuel the carrier.
Kelly: Cmdr you said something about dark when you called me. what was that about?
Cmdr: Oh yes, he agreed to meet with you here in about an hour on the carriers bridge. in the meantime heres your snake nebula surprise its a shot the bartenders here made when we hit the arcadian stream.
an hour later. outside the bridge
Kelly: this is kelly klaufenburg here im on the bridge with Cmdr Darkflemish, who has agreed to talk with us. Cmdr, it seems you are a very busy man. its taken me three days to get an interview.
Dark: Yes Kelly, i have to be present on the bridge if i am onboard the carrier during the time of any hyperjumps. so its exhausting work.
Kelly: Sir, is there anything you would like to share with the viewers back at home about the journey so far?
Dark Well Kelly, Its been a rather long journey so far and we are just glad to be here.
Bridge Personnel: Sir its time for the...
Dark: Ah yes, Kelly Im very sorry to cut this interview short however myself and cmdr heartless need to meet on a conference holo with EIC central. Those meetings are strictly Executive Officers Only! Im sorry i dont have more time to talk ill try to get back with you soon for a more in depth interview.
Kelly: (Bridge door seals behind her) And there you have it folks. so far we are making amazing time on this trip, the view is amazing and everyone seems relaxed and comfortable. and as for myself this is one hell of an assignment. i look forward to chatting with you folks later. in the meantime ive posted some videos and pictures of the trip so far on our companies website. check them out... take care everyone... This is Kelly Klaufenburg signing off...
