The following compendium of memos all originated from the desk of Harrison Hightower-0.40, Owner and General Manager of Hightower Intergalactic Hotel located onboard Orbital Platform 94 in orbit over Tomorrowland
Recipient : Merchant of Venus | Subject : Martian Antiquities
Merchant - After review I am happy to proceed with the 10x Ancient Martian Ceremonial Defiance shields. I find them beautifully antique and aggressive in a way that will work perfect behind our registration desk and set the tone for the property. Your assurance that these were legitimate and ethically sourced goods also provides me a great confidence in this purchase as I still strive to correct my family name 37 generations later.

Smeld - can you please clear the New Atlantis Ballroom of the stage and furniture setup? We shouldn't be needing it for a while.
Recipient : Tomorrowland Premier | Subject : Off-World Delegation Convention
Your honor - It would bring great pride to our galactic-class resort and convention center to host the Tomorrowland Interplanetary Convention Center's inaugural Off-World Delegation. To serve you and the League of Planets would be a pleasure and we are already equipped to execute on such an event. I look forward to meeting your liaison and the TICC support staff.

WHY IS THE BALLROOM EMPTY YOU NEED TO PUT IT TOGETHER IMMEDIATELY
Recipient : GRP-D-HIH-ALL STAFF | Subject : Convention Setup
Team - Thank you for gathering quickly. Despite comments from Smelding-bot I believe it is an achievable goal for us to be prepared for the first delegates to arrive tomorrow morning. The requirements list from the Tomorrowland Premier's Liaison should be sorted and now available on your SMART bands to begin preparations. Contact your supervisor for questions. It can be done!
-Mr. Hightower-0.40
Recipient : X-S Tech Helpdesk | Subject : Docking Bay
No, I will not be putting in a 'ticket'. This is my property and you are only involved because of your substantial investment in the Interplanetary Convention Center. You have a cargo shuttle double parked in space 220 and 221. It is blocking my delivery of Saturnian fruits. Move it IMMEDIATELY!
-HH
Recipient : GRP-D-HIH-Housekeeping | Subject : Room block preparations
Team - I have received some updated notes from the liaison group. Please make sure we have the following amenities available
Floors 3-7 require 10% methane added to room air
Floors 34-35 require at minimum 3 inches of water to fill the room
Floors 68-71 need to be accessible via hyper-lift. Do NOT use the mechanical elevator in the warehouse. That is locked for a reason.
More details soon

Recipient : GRP-D-HIH-Registration | New art
Team - Make sure the new Ceremonial Defiance Shields are hung and well-presented ahead of delegate arrival. Polish the gold until it is sparkling. This collection should impress and make the guests feel right at home. Hurry!
-Mr. Hightower-0.40
Recipient : X-S Tech Helpdesk | Update on SCTASK0901827
FINE. I submitted a ticket to request you to move your irregularly and illegally parked shuttle. Please provide an update to myself or my concierge Smelding-bot at once. The Saturnian fruits must not perish!
We are also waiting on the installation of the Atmospheric Regulator for the delegates from Neptune. I will NOT be submitting an additional ticket for information on that request.

My darling,
My finest hour is finally upon me. The Premier has given me the opportunity to prove my worth to them and to the entire League of Planets. Upon successful completion of this event there is no path I can forecast that does not include my name being praised from Tomorrowland to Pluto. It is everything I have ever wanted.
Will not make it to dinner tonight.

Recipient : Smelding-bot | Subject : Arrivals
The first arrivals will be here shortly. Please greet them at reception with open arms.
Recipient : Smelding-bot | Subject : RE Arrivals
Security is reporting you have brought a hover-sled of literal arms to reception. Remove those immediately! I just meant to dial up your hospitality protocols, you fool!
Recipient : GRP-D-HIH-Valet | Delegation Arrivals
Team - The Liaisons have notified me the first delegation will begin to arrive in five minutes. Prepare for arrival.
-Mr. Hightower-0.40
Recipient : Smelding-bot | Subject : RE URGENT HH PLEASE ACCEPT MEMO
WHAT
Recipient : GRP-D-HIH-Registration | RE New art
Team - Housekeeping will be arriving momentarily with blankets. Kindly assist them with covering the Ceremonial Defense Shields while concierge entertains the Saturnian delegation in the lounge. Marketing has reevaluated the theming and made a decision the blankets provide a feeling of 'warmth' which may improve negotiations at the convention.
-Mr. Hightower-0.40
Recipient : Merchant of Venus | Subject : RE Martian Antiquities
Merchant - You failed to mention during our negotiations that Saturnians are deeply offended by the color gold. It would have also been nice to know the Ceremonial Defense Shields were from a Martian defense against Saturn and that the inscription translated to some fairly harsh anti-Saturn rhetoric. We will be talking about a store credit if I get out of this with my property intact. One delegate fired a ray gun at a shield which reflected the bolt and took the head off a Venetian-Marble statue I just had constructed in my image. You should know better than anyone the cost of Venetian-Marble.

Recipient : Smelding-bot | Subject : Saturn
Why are you even already wearing a ring? Just take it off and accept the gift of apology. Rings are a big deal for Saturn.
Recipient : X-S Tech Helpdesk | Update on SCTASK0901827
Really? That's your solution? Transport beaming my cargo to the convention center buffet? Why don't you just move your shuttle?! This is building a hyperdrive to cross a parking lot.
Have you at least set up the Atmospheric Regulator?
Recipient : X-S Tech Helpdesk | SCTASK0901828
I honestly do not care how much a 'ticket' helps you 'track your work'. I have something you can track when we're done here. Get my Atmospheric Regulator to the convention floor NOW.
Recipient : Tomorrowland Premier | Subject : [Updates Requested] Off-World Delegation Convention
Your honor - It brings me such joy to relay to you that so far the arrival of the delegations has been as smooth as the tracks of your treasured Transit Authority Blue Line. I feel as though I may serve you better if we remove your Liaisons from the conversation and I simply communicate with you directly. I do not doubt you would select only the most capable of Liaisons, however there is a chance the stories they have relayed to you about Translation Protocols may be exaggerated. I will personally investigate it myself.
With the respect of 10,000 moons,
Harrison Hightower-0.40
Recipient : Smelding-bot | Subject : Translation Protocols
Whatever Translation Protocol you are using TURN IT OFF NOW. I am going to go try and prevent an armed conflict between the Gaar and Venus.
Recipient : Penelope | Subject :
My darling,
If you could only see my face now. I suppose you could, my new portrait arrived yesterday and is hanging in the foyer. Do let me know what you think. This conference is certainly the opportunity I knew it would be - and I am rising to see the challenge. The Premier is impressed. I am sure of it.
I should have another portrait arriving today if you wouldn't mind having that hung in my office.

What does inverted even mean? How does fruit invert? I will reach back out to X-S Tech. Just get...something out there. Anything.

THIS IS NOT RESOLVED YOU INVERTED MY SATURNIAN FRUIT WITH YOUR TRANSPORT BEAM

How do you think they could do karaoke if they can't even breathe? Floors 3-7 should be ready for them until X-S gets the Atmospheric Regulator set on the convention floor.
Recipient : X-S Tech Helpdesk | Resolved - SCTASK0901828
I give up.
Recipient : Penelope | Subject :
My darling,
Today were the full day meetings by the delegations. The New Atlantis Ballroom, my ballroom, was filled with the sounds of the League of Planets advancing society. My name will forever live in history as a Galactic Hero. Your family has accomplished many things through the rotations, but they will forever be privileged to look at what I have accomplished over these few days.
Be home tonight. Are you still there? Haven't heard back.
-Harrison
Recipient : GRP-D-HIH-ALL STAFF | Subject : Convention
My team - Well done and what an example we put on to show the Tomorrowland Interplanetary Convention Center what a successful off-world delegation looks like. You really displayed the Hightower spirit working these past three days straight. As a show of reciprocation from me, please enjoy an extra ten-minute break during your shift tomorrow.
-Mr. Hightower-0.40
Recipient : Tomorrowland Premier | Subject : Next Rotation's Off-World Delegation
Your honor - I have not yet heard back from your office on your assessment of our execution as hosts of the first ever off-world delegation. The number of smiling faces I saw walking out of our hotel and headed to the space port for their flight home was unprecedented. Never have we seen so many guests so cheerful as they were leaving the property. It may be premature but I wanted to extend an offer on behalf of the Hightower Intergalactic Hotel to host the delegation next year as well. Perhaps even work together on a multi-rotation deal. Please let me know.
With the respect of 100,000 moons,
