Dear Levites,

The President has relieved me of command of the Levi and instead appointed me to lead the Chernov.

As such, I declare Ryan Williams acting commanding officer while Fleet Command looks for a new permanent CO.

I am sorry to let you down. I had hoped to bring much more to this ship, but circumstances were such that when I was asked by the President to do this, I felt the need to take on command of the Chernov. The Levi is in a much better shape, and I am confident that you’ll keep the Levi fun and engaging. Once there’s a new CO, I will ask to play a junior officer here, as I’ve enjoyed writing with you all. I hope you’ll let me :)

Thank you for all the kindness and friendship over these past few months.

All the best to you all

– Ric
