BUSINESSES ARE CLOSING FAST>>> KELLY KLAUFENBURG REPORTING!!!
22 Feb 2021Kbong85
Business across heartless enterprises engineering deck and a handful of stores on the Grand Concourse have shuttered. With tensions onboard the carrier at an all time high. The carrier Repulse has been involved in active wars for almost 2 weeks straight, following the conclusion of the pica takeover, the carrier jumped to 84 ceti. During this time CMDR Heartless has been busy on the command deck of the carrier for the last 3 days, her sister Aurora Lightstorm has been present with her the entire time. Cmdr Lightstorm is Cmdr Heartless' legal representation. They have been onboard the deck actively in holo conference for days with the colonian high council over the incident that occured there several months ago. Beyond that the reason for the sudden business closures is due to the other legal battle currently taking place between the Repulse and the Federation. It seems Mr Martinez has fled to federal territory and is seeking asylum. Most of the business owners on the carrier are upset about this, however at least 8% of Heartless Enterprise Investors, the families aboard the carrier who operate business' here are outraged at the failure of the carriers leadership to apprehend Mr Martinez and to try him for his crimes. I caught up with one business owner just a few minutes ago.Kelly: Sir, I understand that you are closing up shop here and leaving the carrier as well as the company, why?
Shop Owner: We cant do this anymore, my family has been extremely stressed with the constant deployment of our children on the carriers front lines of defense. During war times the carriers usually suffer from periodic attempted invasions by the rival factions. because of orders and management structure our carrier does not engage in acts such as this. They simply dont have the manpower to launch offensives against foreign carriers. Heartless Enterprises promised us that the robotic defense grid would have over 500 robots on front line active duty as of 3 days ago. the program itself is in the neighborhood of 400million credits monthly, which our businesses cover. The reason we are upset about this is that the program has released 7 of the promised 500 that were due this quarter. the robotics division is supposed to have 10 thousand of them functioning by the end of the year. this is not possible at their current pace. the program is classified top secret due to the weapons tech being employed. we are blindly funding a program that is severely behind schedule.
Kelly: So why are you leaving this is understandable but its what your kids signed up for, and you knew the arrangement the company made with its investors. there has to be another reason you are actually leaving.
Shop owner: Kelly, its the Mr Martinez situation, the management of the carrier completely fumbled his detainment, and extradition to stand trial onboard the carrier. he has slipped through their fingers sooo many times. And now as we understand it if he achieves his request for asylum he will be forever out of reach, being the result of dozens of lives lost aboard the carrier and significant financial and structural damage to the ship. Cmdr DF only response to the matter is that while his company is participating in the investigation, and the follow up and oversight. That this remains a Heartless Enterprise controlled matter.
Kelly: I see, well i cant say i agree with your decision but at least i understand it. Have you spoken with Cmdr Heartless regarding this issue?
Shop Owner: No she has been completely unavailable. Its primarily the trial going on in colonia that has kept her away. she has been sleeping in her office on the command deck in short amts due to the length of the trial. Rumor has it though, that the case is close to be sided in our favor.
Kelly: Oh and how do you know that?
Shop Owner: My brother is one of the paralegals working with the attorney on the case. I do know more details but i am unable to disclose anything further at this time. while some information is available we advise you to contact cmdr heartless for further information regarding the matter or her lead attorney Cmdr Lightstorm. Now if you please mam. I really need to get back to work, our transport is arriving in the next hour and i have to make sure all of our inventory has arrived at the dock. I wish you well and hope we see each other again soon.
Kelly: Indeed, its a big universe perhaps our paths will cross again. Heres hoping. ***End in person interview*** In the meantime I have just finished speaking with Dr Weir Director of Communications for Heartless Enterprise regarding the companies financial status with the loss of some of its investors. According to Dr Weir, because of the recent gains by the company and its valuation prior to the loss of the investors. That Heartless Enterprises qualifies for financial relief from the empire. Applications have been submitted to the Imperial Financial Affairs office, and Princess Aisling Duval has been notified directly. Cmdr Heartless is close with the princess as they worked together closely during the trials of the NMLA seperatists working with the carrier. Dr Weir also released an official statement regarding the ongoing proceedings in colonia. "Heartless Enterprises Maintains that the actions taking in the colonia sector of the milky way galaxy were necessary. The authorities who illegally boarded the carrier, illegally engaged or staff. and illegally detained our crew members were acting with no authority or jurisdiction. The mere suggestion that someone is a danger or possibly a terrorist is not grounds for invasion of foreign soil. Heartless Enterprises executed the only operation that seemed both necessary and effective at the time to correct the situtation. Any further questions should be directed to my office."
Kelly: Now little information past this is available at this time. staff aboard the carrier report that both cmdr lightstorm and cmdr heartless look tired. they have been in and out of session sometimes with no more than a couple hour nap each day. As usual we will continue to monitor this situation and bring you further updates as they are available. There is no further information currently available on the martinez case. The court has granted an extension before further proceedings will occur next week. This is Kelly Klaufenburg Heartless Enterprise Affiliate, Satnet Galnet News signing off.
