Intergalactic Summit

Good Evening.

It is with no small degree of sadness I write these words, as for me and others it is the end of an era.

Following a meeting of the SYNE Directorate and consultation with regular pilots and baseline personnel, it was decided that of 1200 15/03/116, The Synenose Accord will cease all operations and return to it's pre-war stasis mode. A small contingent will remain to keep the corp and it's remaining assets "mothballed" and ready to re-activate should the proper circumstances arise.

All personnel bar that contingent will be discharged and offered severance pay, re-settlement and letters of recommendation.


Q "Does this mean the end of SYNE?"

Yes and no. This is the end of SYNE in it's current format. It may one day return, but we as a corp have decided we can be of more use elsewhere.

Ninavask will remain as CEO and a point of contact for any inquiries. As well as that, there are contingencies in place should he be unavailable. Myself and Ollie Rundle will act as spokespersons for SYNE should the need arise, though we will not hold executive authority over it.


Q "How do we contact you?"

SynePublic, and The Syne Lounge will remain open, for official business for the former, social occasions for the latter. This is not a guarantee that we will respond, we are effectively closing after all, but this is the place to lurk if you wish to find us for whatever reason.


Q "Can we has your stuff?"

As anxious as we are to hold a jumble sale for years worth of resources, I will have to disapoint you. Assets have already been sold or loaned to benefactors.


Q "I have standings with your corporation and/or your alliance. What should I do?"

It is worth stating here that standings with SYNE or CEIM may not be representative of future relations. The alliance issue will be addressed momentarily, but if you wish to adjust standings with SYNE specifically, please notify us so we can match.


Q "What about CEIM?"

CEIM's actual future is still under discussion, but the general consensus that SYNE will resign it's role as executor and leave the alliance to a successor to make of it what they will. Discussions are still ongoing, but it is safe to assume that SYNE and CEIM will be totally separate entities as of the above deadline.


Q "Will there still be a Seyllin Conference?"

We most certainly hope so. Part of the Accord's strength was it's ability to network across divisions and bring people together for such events. Though the Accord itself will be mothballed, many of our pilots will still remain as an informal group. With he help of others, we would be delighted if a SeyCon would happen in future.


In closing, I would like to state that while this is a sad occasion it is also one of hope. We are still in good standing with each other, and we are moving on to do things the Accord could not have. I have confidence, that in it's brief existence, SYNE has done good, and it's pilots will continue to do good. It has been my honor to serve, and I wish you all well.

Bright stars, clear horizons.

Signed

The Synenose Accord

Exitus Acta Probat

Well.

I don't think anything can be said, except that there were people who gave their lives as capsuleers to making the cluster a better place. They did not fly for personal glory, deepening pocketbooks, or grandiose claims of their own 'empires'. They were people who stood up and stepped out before the unknown for the benefit of the cluster - whether that meant responding to the sudden shock of the Seylinn Incident and the subsequent first waves of wormhole-space exploration, or standing out in front when it came time to defend the cluster from Kuvakei's minions.

So I salute the efforts of people who knew to stand for the cluster at large, and hope they will continue to do so in whatever individual paths they opt to take.

I remember watching one of the Seyllin Conferences records before I was even a capsuleer and by no doubt it sparkled some parts of me to care about intergalactic affairs in the future. I remember many names from those golden times! Many of them now lost in the echoes of the eons.

Not to be completely sorrowful though, I'm glad it is not a complete end of The Synenose Accord, but rather a state of hibernation.

See you in space o7.

Very sad to hear. Hope you all find peace in whatever you do next.

Oh, well, that's unfortunate.

This is disappointing news.

One never knows who they will bump into in dark allies, the probability of it being someone interesting is now diminished.

Thank you for your good work.

I wish you individually and collectively prosperity and joy.

Maybe I missed it, but can someone tell me what the Why is from all of this?

All good things come to an end.

It's been great working with SYNE.

Good luck and if anybody needs any help with anything just ask.

Most of us are still weighing up options and desires, I myself am just hanging about for a bit to help make sure it's all neat and tidy before we leave.
