Salute Month Three Millette.

Written by: Spacer Rhea

Addressed to:


(The voice of the article is a low one, with a slight lisp, but clear intonation otherwise. The article is scattered with pictures and occasional clips of Millette and factories and refineries. With a theme that is industrial, clean and efficient.)
When I started this journey Millette was one of the first I thought of to interview, a voice of reason, and a builder of big business in the Scatterhome sector. Millette has been responsible for a lot of growth, industrially but enough verbal fellation. Let's review the interview.
(A video follows of a woman in her late twenties with a youthful appearance and vivid hazel eyes, with a degree of makeup applied contouring and providing a lot of shape to the face. She says in the video, smiling.)
"Millette d'Cogreu, born native to Bodean, 2'nd of Tera, 895 AE."
When asked about her background, and qualification she said she was a university educated girl from Bodean, who has worked in the financial sector in the years outside of University, and also shared a wonderful story about one of her previous bosses.
(Audio plays here, reading out in Millette's voice. While on a video feed a list of accomplishments of Millettes are listed, including her degrees, and former positions.)
"Well, there was one time when one of my bosses was discovered to have been embezzling company funds over the course of several years. He was punished for it, of course, but I might have also faced punishment as well, if I hadn't made it a point to keep records of every bit of money that I had authorized the transfer of in his name. It was thanks to those records that the company was able to recover a large portion of the funds and why I was able to avoid liability. Ever since then, I am extremely meticulous in my documentation."
This story led me into my next question the one about our topic, turmoil, and whether that topic was good for business, I phrase this question fairly open endedly because everyone has some sort of turmoil in their mind. And often you get the best answers by letting them lead.
(A video follows of Millette answering the question.)
Millette grimaces a bit, her head wobbling side to side a bit as if waffling on her opinion. "Eh, to be honest, I'm not really sure how I feel about. On the one hand, it hasn't affected the ongoing projects on Iota, so far, so it's not making my job any harder. But on a personal level, I don't like seeing how our peers have gotten so up in arms all of a sudden over what some people see as 'restrictions on freedoms'." Millette gestures nonchalantly, tilting her head to one side. "This whole outrage culture has only just popped up in the last year or so, and I really don't see any purpose in it. It's not like some kind of dictator is going to just roll in and subjugate the entire sub-sector. People are overreacting, mostly because spacer life is all shiny and new to us and we're all falling over each other trying to figure out purpose and meaning in our efforts now."
Following that I asked about the status of Iota, with the upcoming IPO for Scatterhome citizens, I was curious personally about the status of things and where we were going.
(A video follows of Millette answering the question. Her face with an even expression, gesturing efficiently)
Millette says, gesturing with her hands lightly, "Unfortunately, production is where we're currently stalled at. I'm sure you've read the postings I've reported on what's happening, but long story short, production is not viable because it is too expensive. We need to refine our industrial processes to lower the cost of making finished goods to a point where we can sell them at a price that people will be willing to buy them." Millette says, pausing to breathe for a moment, "Until then, we can't offer to buy the materials that miners are bringing in, because it would bankrupt the municipal accounts." Millette concludes with, "And we would be left with a warehouse full of material we can't sell on Iota."
As a final askance of Millette before thanking her for her time I asked if she had any advice for someone who might watch this interview and be interested in volunteering to help with their factions industrial section.
(A video follows with Millette's eyes twinkling into the camera enchantingly. A gentle smile on her face.)
Millette says her voice offering a tone of simple explanation, "Be good with numbers, be able to plan about 5 steps ahead of where you're at, and be prepared to have your mindsim rattle with several dozen messages an hour whenever you're working on an active project."

Thank you Millette, We at Salute, salute you! For the effort, for the movement, and for the energy here in Scatterhome. Next month we have my favorite interview of the month. The interview with the Marshal Kareli.
(A note follows. Read out in a cheerful mindsim augmented voice)
We're just about mid way through the half year, and I would like to put out a call for critique, you dear consumers have seen most of the styles of content we'll offer, and I would love to hear critique and commentary, please message the Editor-in-Chief Rhea with critique if you have it. Constructive criticism will be acknowledged and heard out evenly. The next interview will be with the Space Marshal Kareli. And will be posted in potentially a two part spread. Assuming formatting complies.
