SUBJECT: Personnel Issues
PARTICIPANTS: Bastien + John Silver
CLASSIFICATION: Public
DATE FILED: August
STATUS: Complete
SUMMARY: Having offered the use of the Basilia to Alphonse Sideris, recently of Cumberland, in exchange for a cut of his profits, Riftwatch now needs a crew for the Basilia. John and Bastien headed off Cumberland to rustle up some recruits to build up a crew.

REPORT:

To our esteemed Commander and our most charming Ambassador,

Bastien and I are pleased to report we were able to secure a reasonably functional crew for the Basilia out of the available options in Cumberland.

You'll be pleased to hear we recruited a majority of our new crew out of the refugees seeking work, though Bastien and I both thought it best to entertain the idea of a few more skilled hands to steady the transition. The following five will require a marginally higher pay rate:
Ilyas Magdi had recently left his captaincy on the Triumph, and was tempted to accept our offer rather than lead the crew of the Golden Dragon
Vanda Vasilios agreed to depart her position on the Alliance to act as our boatswain.
Sokratis Botond left his position on the Favorite to become our surgeon
Cili Feri gave up his post on the Gilia to accept a position as our sailing master
Oszkár Andris resigned from the crew of the Icicle to work as carpenter on our vessel.
I know we are all eager to see a return on our investments, but in this case I believe the acquisition of such skilled sailors will work to our benefit, as well as keep Serrah Sideris from hearing off-putting tales of dysfunction. It's worth the loss of a little coin, yes?

You'll also be gratified to hear that I secured us a very skilled cook. Mr. Bertók knows his way around a stew pot, by all accounts.

Should Serrah Sideris require any details as to the make up of his new crew, Bastien or I would of course be happy to write him with some colorful stories of the recruitment process.
