From the desk of Fleet Admiral Amit K. Misra:

Something tragic has happened to us in Area 001. Fleet Admiral Jonathan Kensler resigned his commision to Area 001 and to Star Fleet as of Stardate 59901.01 due to some internal problems. This has truly been one of the biggest losses to Area 001 and to Star Fleet. He left secretly only leaving his datapad with his letter of resignation and a couple of datapads with some unfinished business he felt needed to be addressed. Fleet Admiral Kensler had been right beside Flt. Adm. Misra at all the turning points of Area 001: The time the facility moved from site A to site B due to some information leaks to enemy sources, during the mayor retrofit of Area 001 where he became ill with a chemical imbalance which caused his Vulcan and Klingon phisiology to become irrational and illogical, and now during the mayor operation of starship construction in which Area 001 was undergoing. All of us in Area 001 wish that Mr. Kensler find the peace for the rest of his life in whatever planet he recides. We in Area 001, will miss him but times like these have taught us to treasure what we have and had and to keep looking into the future and keep going on. Due to the cause of Mr. Kensler's leave the position of X.O. remained opened. And after careful review of the records and possible candidates, it is my honor to name Fleet Admiral Rene Rios as the Executive Officer of Area 001 with all the rights and priviledges that come with the position. In other news, It is also my pleasure to announce that Vice Admiral Reuben Soto has been promoted to Admiral and has been made Chief of Staff of Base Operations, he is Chief Tactician and has been made Commanding Officer of Task Force Echo.
