Good morning all!

This is going to be a bit of a harder post to deal with. I want to be honest with everyone. And Im hoping to not hurt anyone’s feelings in doing so. Please know that I am not trying to point fingers or attack anyone.

I have really been struggling lately. There isn’t a whole lot going on right now for Athena. Sage is on LOA due to some serious RL concerns. But I’m struggling to to see the future on Athena. If I’m going to be totally honest, I could see the ship at some point being decommissioned.

Now, I want to be forthright here. I acknowledge that my current thoughts are influenced by my feelings. I struggle doing things a certain way for some long to see very little progress made. That’s on me.

I’ve had some private discussions with some of you. Please feel free to share what you wish here.

But what I need from everyone is to know your level of commitment.

How invested are you? Do we want to be here? Or is this all out of obligation? How important is this ship to you?

I need to know your thoughts everyone. Be honest! And be bold if choose to. I need your genuine feedback about all this. I don’t want to rush into entertaining these thoughts if I have my understanding wrong. Help me out. Tell me how you all feel.

I appreciate all feedback, positive and negative. We can work together, but I need to hear back.

Thank you in advance for answering these questions.
