This is a very hard decision for me. I really love the Manhattan and the stories we’ve told during my time as XO. The last few months however, have made it very clear that I am no longer an asset to the Manhattan and her health. I’ve decided that I am going to step down as XO. I have let James and Krystal and Steve know.

I hate to leave the ship in a lurch, but I am hoping that this decision will leave the way open for someone who can help to bring new life back into the Manhattan and help to bring more amazing stories back to her decks.

Cmdr. Mal’athar, XO
