Ignore Sue, Androcles, and Shooby. They are idiots of one form or
another.

Other thoughts with regard to the use of proper time, proper velocity,
etc. at relativistic speeds would be appreciated to.

Proper anything is what an observer sees with respect to himself. Eg,
proper time is the time the observer would read off his own clock.
