That's the nearly complete log. Maureen ran into some technical difficulties near the end, and missed a small portion of the conversation.
We'll be awaiting your urgent reply regarding just as to how the Cassus will be transferred. Her engines are completely shot. If need be, we could use a few of our transports to tow her through Magellan or Humboldt to one of the Vespucci anomalies after unloading her crew on the Paradise. As for the Undaunted, despite her wounds, she should be able to limp there on her own.
Enrico out.

Thank you.
The
Cassus Belli should hold position for now while we try to figure out exactly what we're going to end up doing with her. As for the Undaunted, if you can bring her to Magellan, we'll take over from there and take her the rest of the way.
The
Ravager has been ordered not to fire on your ships, and you may moor with the
Ravager or America Base. Your fighters and bombers are under construction, and will be waiting on Monterrey Base when you're ready for them. I must stress that under no circumstances are you to enter any of the asteroid fields or nebulae in Vespucci other than when taking a path directly to and from Monterrey Base.
Your... other request... is under construction as well. Keep in mind that these things take time to build, and it could be as much as a month before it's ready. I'll be sure to keep you updated on its progress. If you feel like speeding it along, you should bring shipments of parts and supplies to America Base, from where they'll later be shuttled to the construction site. Of course, we'll need documents recording the arrival of these shipments so we'll know where they're from and what they're for. We'll need parts for the engines, hull plating, the superconductors for the core, the multiplexers for the automation software, and the fuel to start it all up. Again, we'll be able to do it without your help... but it will take longer.
Thank you.
-Executive Commander Mori
