Public Observance Report Needed

Hello Sector 3! We have a new request from North Pole Flight Command today for a Public Observance Report from all areas of our Sector.

Not stated reason has been provided for this request. They are asking that we get it in to them within the next week if that’s possible.

I did check with Elf Agent X in North Pole Security and he did confirm that his department is in part responsible for this request. They are mapping Santa’s flight and want to know “areas of concern” that might exist in certain major population centers.

As you know, tensions are running high, particular in Europe, so these reports are proving more necessary by the day.

By no means are you to put yourself in any danger or harm’s way to do this report. Just go about your regular business, observing what you can and reporting to the North Pole what you see and feel. The purpose of this report is safety and we cannot compromise your safety in the name of getting this report done! Be careful out there.

Thank you all for your efforts.

About this Elf: Elf Rolf Janssen

Elf Rolf is a native of Austria. As a young man he moved to Russia and was a refugee of that country in 1915 when he found his way to Santa’s employ. Skilled in carpentry, Rolf was given duties in Santa’s workshop where he worked for many years. Charged with building the first airplane Santa ever flew in 1927 — thanks to his wood working skills — Elf Rolf was transferred to the Research and Development Department where he served for many years as a sleigh designer and eventually as a flight test pilot.

Rolf took a departure from that work in the mid-1960s when he pursued a degree in computer science, a pioneering field for the North Pole. He returned in 1968 and for years served in data processing before being transferred to the North Pole Tracking and Flight Command Center as an IT specialist. He was instrumental in helping Santa to set up a network of satellites that have become the backbone of North Pole information systems to this day.
