AN INITIAL REPORT

By DALLAS

This is Captain Dallas, logging an initial report from the return leg of our Thedus voyage. When we get back home I want a meeting with a shipping coordinator. My usual science officer has been replaced — no reason given. The new guy is more than capable, I'm sure, but only getting two days notice for this kinda thing is crazy. I'd just like an explanation. We'll be ready for our load when we get the call. Dallas, Nostromo captain, signing off.
