Arrrrgh! That’s CAPTAIN Henry Rodson to you, you mindless Automatons of Oppression! I’ve thrown off the shackles of the educational system's indoctrination of thought commodification and struck out on my own. Well, me and few dozen other refugees from the Borderland Central School District, including Emma, Olivia, Emily, Mia, Noah, James, Jacob, Alex, Sophia, Alva, Liam, Cleo, Chloé, Abigail, Kerry, Ella, Oliver, Jayden, Madison, Mason, Amelia, Logan, Elijah, Aiden, Sophie, Caleb, and my first mate Isabella.

We've signed the Articles of Agreement, hijacked the ice cream barge Deleuze, and are setting off into the air to find our fortunes! Outside of your pitiful mind prison of capitalist hegemony.

BEWARE THE CLOUDS!

Dear Guadalupe,

There seems to have been some mistake. I dropped Henry off at the dock he requested, although we were up for about 9 hours, so it was a little bit later than we had planned. If I remember correctly one of the engines had sputtered out around 7:50 hours and Henry said he had time to help us fix it before he had to go. This is all a bit fuzzy because I can’t seem to find the log sheet and was sick not only the week after Henry’s visit but also for the past month, with lupine flu. You humans are lucky that you can’t get it. Anyways, I will look through my files and get back to you tomorrow with any news. I swear that paper moves on its own. Anyways, I remember him asking to be dropped off on level 4. I assumed he just wanted to forestall his exit, as I could tell that he immensely enjoyed the life of an air sailor, so I obliged him, and we moored on either dock 8 or 18, I don’t recall, but if you need to know I can check with ZAC records. He jumped off with his pack and went anticlockwise around the docking ring. I was surprised by this, seeing as the fastest way to the lift was clockwise, but again I just assumed he was stalling and wanting to watch the ships come in. That was the last I saw of him. I would be happy to keep a lookout for him and do some digging around to see if anyone has seen him. Do you have any information on Henry that would be helpful in my search?

Thank you for your concern,

Dear Zephyr Air Transport,

While we appreciate your willingness to accept job shadow requests from the areas you operate in, we were wondering about our student Henry Rodson? He has not returned since leaving on his job shadow some months ago (and it was only intended to be an eight hour cruise).

We're sure little Harry is just fine, and we know there's nothing more he'd rather do than take up the life of an airshipman, but there have been cases of young people being shanghaied by unscrupulous air pirate syndicates out here on the Borderlands, so we just thought we should check in.

Sincerely,

Guadalupe Jensen

Dear Henry Rodson,

I would love to have you along for a shadow trip, but it would have to be for about two days seeing as most of my voyages are not one-day trips. However, I have recently installed a new thrust timing device and will be having a test flight in the next week. If you can do short notice, you can come along, as long as you don't mind getting your hands dirty. I will need some assistance with the timing adjustments.

Dear, Zephyr Air Transport

I am an eighth grade student at Goldson Frontier Middle School in the Borderland Central School District. As part of my Family and Consumer Science class, I am required to complete a field experience called job shadow. Job shadowing in an area that interests me and will give me an idea of what a "day in the life" could look like if I choose to pursue this for my future.

I'm writing today to see if you would consider being my job shadow mentor on...
On that day I do not have to attend school, so that I may spend 5-8 hours on job shadow. I appreciate hearing from you at your earliest convenience so that I may get a permission slip back to my teacher.

I appreciate your time and consideration and look forward to hearing back from you.

Sincerely, Henry Rodson.
