[indent][indent][indent]The voice of Matthew Alvarez could barely be heard over the sound of screeching metal and hot steam as the tram finally had arrived at New Anchorage’s operational base.

After Graham had asked him about reconfirmation about the time, Matthew had decided to prepare for the greeting as it was a great deal of his job as operations administrator to do so. Truth be told, while he preferred Graham’s direction compared to how Sophia handled things there wasn’t much of a difference in terms of adding new pilots to the roster. He had done it when Stein Kalfox was incorporated and here he was doing it with the new recruits that came in for their application. Then again, half-a-dozen pilots would take tasking more thoughts than one or two. But he had tasked mundane non-NC pilots in greater amount, so he figured this wouldn’t result in much difficulty. He stood there with datapad in hand as he adjusted the glasses on the brim of his nose.

As he awaited the doors to open and the New Anchorage passengers to exit, he waved one of the depot coordinators over. His tone was flat and quiet, but somehow through all of the racket he was audible. [color=A57373]“Ms. Pryde.”[/color]

“Yes, operations administrator?”

[color=A57373]“I want the transport units working fast and efficiently. Each NC should be in the NC hangar before Graham steps foot in there. Do you understand?”[/color]

“Yes, I’m on it.”

If there was one thing Sophia abandoning New Anchorage did, it was increase the efficiency of the NC program. One of the central reasons he was quite favorable towards Graham’s organizational overhaul was that Graham brought a much needed structure with him; a structure that had been lacking in previous years. Though, there were many differences of opinion about Graham as soon as he showed up and started “barking” even though Matthew disagreed that the barking was unwarranted. He thought back to the complaints he had heard in the last month or so with some of his peers likening Graham as a “despot” and “corporate wolverine”. Matthew had been more than happy to give the former head of NC analysis his official dismissal. Infantile emotions had no business of existing when there was a job to do. But New Anchorage recovered from it and was all the better for it. [i]Good riddance.[/i]

Ending his thought, he nodded as his hands waved her off, [color=A57373]“Good. Go.”[/color]

Matthew flipped through the datapad with a pen as he looked over the dossiers he had compiled, though he did so briefly. While he remembered the information in his memory it was still was helpful to look it over. He was good with information and knowledge… less so with faces. He just hoped Raschke and Graham knew what they were doing. 

As the doors to the tram opened up he cleared his voice.

His hand flipped to her dossier on his datapad as he looked to the individuals that took initiative in their posture and form, but Matthew Alvarez wasn’t from a military background so it didn’t invoke much for him personally. There were a lot of interesting individuals even discarding their appearance of a disorganized motley crew of lost discarded toys. But in a lot of ways they were to become Graham’s toys now, assuming they agreed to his terms, though the reality was that they were already familiar with the contract New Anchorage gave them and they signed eagerly. He wondered if anyone of them had read it in greater detail when most of them were so ridiculously desperate. But desperation led to many things such Graham’s operation. But they could always resign from their position if they wished. He wondered which ones would actually stay on for more than a week given his overview of what Graham had planned for them.

Not all of them were NC pilots though. Graham and Raschke had sent out contracts for people in financial, military, logistic, and maintenance fields as well as asked for people by name. When Graham arrived Matthew was to direct the non-pilots to their designations and familiarize them with their accommodations and responsibilities. He stopped to think what could’ve been taking Graham so long? But before he could pursue the thought for much longer a voice cut from behind him. 

[i]Graham’s. [/i]

[color=556B2F]“Alvarez.”[/color]

Matthew turned his head and there he was, as expected. Graham must’ve done a routine check to see if everything was in order before meeting with the recruits.

[color=556B2F]“Bring me up to speed.”[/color]

[color=A57373]“No absences as far as I can tell. But they seem to be as heterogeneous as described by our reports; their dossiers are up-to-date excluding information we could not acquire that was deemed confidential. There shouldn't be any issues going forward.”[/color] Matthew stated as he pointed to the two aforementioned pilots as if making a note of them before handing over the datapad to Graham.

He nodded as he looked to the group. 

[color=556B2F]“Non-pilot staff will go with Alvarez. Welcome to Alaska."[/color]
