Sir,

1) It has been brought to my attention by one of my senior officers that a mistake has been made in delivering the Starfleet 'Getting Started In Your New Space Station' kit to DS13. According to the inventory in the starter pack, there should be 240 sachets of Tomato Ketchup (Red) supplied as part of the 'Don't Call For Takeout On Your First Night' food supplies package. My Chief Engineer informs me that this has been replaced by 15 sachets of Lemon Scented Towellettes and has advised me that this will not be adequate for the crew's dietary needs in the first days of establishing a new outpost on the frontier.

Whilst it is appreciated that there will inevitably be a degree of confusion and uncertainty in the supply situation so far from Sector 001 this error needs to be rectified as soon as possible, as without flavouring it is feared that the Generic Meat Burgers (Economy) contained within the pack will prove insufficient nourishment, particularly in light of the considerable amount of physical work involved in clearing debris etc etc from a station that was recently abandoned by Cardassian forces.

2) A further requisition has been transmitted to me from the Deputy Engineer. 12 new gravity generators are required to replace faulty units that are currently fluctuating between 0.25 and 12G. The replacement units will have to function in a non-standard environment and must be able to operate in tandem with Cardassian-built equipment. They must also be no larger than 14.7cm x 26.3cm x 1m72cm. This is smaller than the standard issue equipment dimensions of 1m15cm x 2m50cm x 10m20cm, and whilst a delay in appropriating suitable equipment is understandable, it is requested that these items are located and dispatched to DS13 ASAP, as currently the refresher stations in Ops, in addition to the Ikea ring are unusable due to this issue. These represent the only functional refresher stations aboard the station at present, representing a potential health hazard, both to crew and civilian contractors on board. It should further be noticed, that with the Grand Opening of Fred's Bar (the first social mess area) scheduled for Stardate 498568.70, this lack of toilet facilities could well become critical.

Yours truly,

Captain CJT Olding, 217-5840-Q.
Officer Commanding, Federation Space Station Deep Space 13.
