Holovid screens across the board transfer to a story developing concerning Offworld Mining Company. Tycho Celchu, owner of the Tenloss Syndicate is about to make a short speech. We cross live to hear what he has to say.

===================

Recently, allegations concerning Offworld Mining Company have come to bear revolving around Brooks and the company being rogue and against the new changes with the NAO falling under the rule of the Galactic Empire. I wish to make it perfectly clear that the intelligence provided to the Empire is unfounded and not sound.

I say this because Brooks does not own, nor has owned OMC for some months now. When Tenloss approached OMC a while back, a deal was struck for a majority percentage of the company to be purchased, with the minority remaining in the hand of the former NAO Prime Minister Malakai Brooks, but that minority was relinquished 4 standard weeks ago when I personally changed the leadership from that of Rune Tao to Law after taking full control of OMC.

Just to clarify, Offworld Mining Company is 100% owned and operated by the Tenloss Syndicate.

I open my hand in talks with Princess Storm concerning mining prospects owned by Tenloss within the realm of NAO space and ask that she not call my company a criminal organisation, as those accusations are most definitely incorrect.

Offworld Mining Company is merely a company striving to be the best it can be.

I am personally traveling as we speak to inspect the mines owned by OMC within NAO space, and any diplomacy invitation concerning my company from the new NAO will be considered.

That is all for now.
