I am Vulkan. I am of iron and fire.
Converting a CNO-cycle drive to a H-fuel drive is futile. Not all that is Iron may bend - some, break. “Conversion” would be a fresh drive. You cannot build a sword from a Tunafish. Colourants can be preserved, the drive, will not. Even the metal from which dreams are forged are constrained by iron logic, Rat.
I will forge a drive for you - a drive that will survive as long as the liner itself, should it be so tasked. I enthral in the task, for rare do I find myself presented with a challenge strange enough to test my gloves. It matters not; you will have your drive.
Yet I will not fabricate from vacuum. I am a smith, not God - I will not build ex nihilo.
Register your vessel in Pacifica’s docklands, in the attached nerualnet directory. I will make the Cäsar gantry available to you. Usually, the refit would cost two hundred and fifty million credits - but the task is small. You will wire only twenty five million credits to the UN|Bank, to cover the expenses of our labour and lost shipyard space.
You will also ship us the materials required to build the drive. Three thousand units of engine components will suffice.
Complete these tasks, and I will bequeath you your engine, Ratte.

- Deliver the hull to Pacifica, in order for Unioner engineers to mount and fit the drive.
From dead earth, life. A rat would be aware of this truth.
