We on the board of Voortrekker GmbH are of one mind that our investors' generous contributions will not be squandered in such fashion. But, Connie, you must understand, and help your board understand as well, that matters here are not entirely in hand at this time, and that such a state of affairs is only to be expected. It is, frankly speaking, all but a miracle that any of us survived, and certainly a testament to the skills and dedication of the shipwrights at Venture Yard. As a result, the entire board of Voortrekker GmbH survived the crash, as did a quorum of directors among the ship's own command structure. However, the illness that has arisen among all survivors of the crash has cast our situation here into some disarray. While I am working to regather the scattered strands of our hierarchy and organize the survivors of the crew into a functional and productive whole, this process can be expected to require a good deal of time and care. That said: You, and the board of Ross 128 Ventures, may find reassurance in the knowledge that I have already begun to implement the information control policies which we privately discussed prior to departure. As soon as I am able to ascertain whether any of our information systems engineers survive, I will act to ensure complete implementation of those policies and directives. Based on the tone of your prior communication, I must ask if you can confirm receipt of my prior reports, sent prior to the onset of the coma from which I've recently reemerged. My impression at this time is that the understanding back home, of events on Voortrekker and Ross 128 b, may be substantially incomplete, and I feel that that may cause unnecessary confusion and delay in understanding the nature of our situation here. You should have several prior communications from me, the most recent being dated August 31 and September 2 (Earth reference). Please respond with a list of the reports you have received from me since July 25 (Earth reference), and I will resend any you do not have. I'd like to circle back on this discussion once the board has been apprised of their content and had the opportunity to consider what instructions to provide. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
