I'd like to say goodbye to everyone as well. Especially to Andrew, you were in my humble opinion a great commander, and you will be sorely missed. Hope to see you back someday. To all the others I hope you will find another ship to simm on. I know I will be seeing some of you on the cousteau. As for Taban, he along with lt marger and lt simmons are transferred to the anubis which is one of the more actively recruiting ships atm. I wish you all good times

Crew of the USS Edison,

I think a round of applause is in order for Captain Gehn.

He has done a magnificent job running this Simm for the past 9 months. When I first began in OF, the Edison was the only Daystrom-class vessel in service, and it gave me something to aspire to. The site was well managed and put together with great graphics, and her Captain was an outstanding writer that kept his crew engaged.

I'm just as sad as you all must be to hear that Captain Gehn has decided to close up shop, I had great hopes for our future as two similar Simms. However, we all must move on and even though Captain Gehn is leaving, I think we can all agree that he has done a great job and will be missed.

Captain - From myself and the crew of the remaining Daystrom Class, USS Exeter, Smooth sailing and clear horizons.

Respectfully,

Captain Markus Hawthorne
Commanding Officer

My dear friends,

It is with the utmost regret that I must inform you of the following. As of this moment, I have tendered my resignation with Obsidian Fleet because I feel as though I can no longer dutifully carry out my role as your commanding officer. You deserve far better than what I have been putting out over the past couple of months.

When we first started almost a year ago, the odds were not in our favor. Most new ships in the fleet only last a good month or two before inactivity or incompetence seals its fate. We beat the odds and here we are at over ten months of service. I had a lot of ambitious ideas over those ten months, with you guys only seeing a fraction of what I had come up with. Things recently however have become irreparably damaged by my seeming inability to recruit new members and the restrictions upon which the fleet places on modifying the nature of sims.

I will not ask of Commander Kero or any other member of this crew to step up and take over the USS Edison. It's time has come and now it has gone. Just let it fade away into history as you take all of the happy memories you have of it with.

I will notify Jaynie, our wonderful web host to take down the site in a week, to give you guys enough time to get what you need from your character bios and whatnot. If you would like to continue simming with OF, I am confident that Captain Hawthorne of the USS Exeter would welcome you with open arms, as would most ships in the fleet. Simply get in contact with him or the higher ups in the fleet if you would like to transfer your character here to another posting.

I am so very sorry that things have come to this. I thank you for putting up with me all those months, for believing and trusting me. I only wish that I could have been able to do a lot more for you. I wish you all the very best in whatever you strive for in the future and leave you with the hope that perhaps we will meet again, somewhere, sometime.

- Andrew
