Dear Overseer,
Whenever an ambush happens, please stop conscripting dwarves closest to the threat, regardless of their skill levels (some of them are children, for Armok's sake), instead of sending your trained military after them, however few in number they are. Some of them are skilled enough to take on a small team at a time, at least.
Mourning the loss of their buddies and siblings,

PS- We don't mind if the traders have to deal with them for us; especially the elves. One visit for some aboveground crops and such is good enough as is; but once they start giving us nothing but cloth, they deserve to deal with the local ettin and etc. for us.
OSR:
Yes, I know, my military tactics suck; but I try to keep the needs of the many above the needs of the few from time to time. In essence, I want to keep the enemy at a distance as long as I can so I can lock-up the joint before we all get massacred horribly.
Dear Overseer,
What the hell is wrong with you and our living conditions? I know you wanted to do a sort of test for some project, or application that can be spread via word-of-mouth to other overseers when it comes to producing their forts; but damn, you could care for us a little more. I'm tired of sleeping in a dirt-ridden hallway next to the shops and trade depots with other bedfellows complaining about wheelbarrows running over everyone in the hall. A hallway does not a dormitory make (even if it can give all 100s of us with a place to sleep; the noise, and the constant complaints and IN-/OUT-bound traffic. We can't even get a damn wink in this horrible layout). Oh, and let's not forget the crappy setup of very few tables and chairs in the main hall for only the elite, where the rest of us have to sit on the ground to eat. And we're done with your bullshit about an "epic dining hall is in the works". You're kidding, right? You're obsessed with refining your 'experiment' more than making lavish halls for us.
Frustrated with your consistent short-sightedness,
Nil 'PatienceLeft'
PS- I mean, how do you have all the time in the world to make storage and slowed hauling a thing of the past, yet not enough time to give us a proper place to sleep, or eat?
OSR:
You signed up to work on an experiment. These conditions are to be expected. Quit complaining. In forts in which we're serious about lasting longer than a decade, the needs of the many will outweigh the want of the one. That is, until mandates are to be made; then I will have to answer to them, or make some snazzy jail cells, considering the rate of input for them.
Dear Overseer, and the Lord you pray to,
You've been teasing us about selecting another lucky fort to work on a rival/related aircraft to the prior myth covered in blood; when are either of you going to be serious about it and get to work already? We're tired of waiting. Get over what's holding you back, and do something already.
Signed,
[listed survivors of the previous and potential future overseers of the next airship megaproject and etc.]
PS- We've noticed our Lord has recently come across means of making ease his methods of production lately. Find a way to get that lazy god off his ass, and get to work already.
PPS- I do reckon other gods are probably getting tired of hearing/seeing your bragging about the ONE airship you produced, and how many people know about it. Mayhaps it's time you get something else noteworthy to talk about, instead of being a one-trick pony? You're smart enough to do other things, be a multi-skilled nightmare, or something. Colonize an ocean; make an offshore rig, build a dwarven space station. Something. We have spoken.
OSR:
I've been busy with the planning and design work, but never really found the time to actually summarize it into a workable blueprint. Thanks to a few tools our Lord has provided us, building/planning in advance, as well as setting up quarters and etc. along with a few other efficiency boosts here and there will be used in the future incarnations of the soaring blood series of airships. The Lord has been absent for a few eras for various reasons, but his interest is returning as he helps out other gods, or at least provides input to them. If the bloodships are losing his interest, he may focus on other projects on the side. Like the suggestions you provided.
