After the damage the Orbital Spa and Cruise Liner Reverie suffered at the hands of a Junker, the ship has been moored at Freeport 1 and is being repaired ever since.
Repairs went underway quickly and will soon be completed, if nothing unforeseen happens. However repairing the hull-panels, electric circuits, life support systems, engines and so on is one thing. The repair crews did a marvelous job so far, but their tasks end with the ship being space worthy.
Orbital Spa and Cruise needs ships not only functional, but also pleasing to the eye and providing comfort and luxury. Reverie is no exception of this. The Repair-Crews tasks are completed with the ship looking like a patched up bucket. So, she needs now to be polished to the highest standards of OS&C to remove the signs of being repaired.
I need a team of your best people to bring back the luxurious glory of the ship, to make the phoenix rival the stars it will travel between.
The ship is able to house more than 3000 souls in over 1500 cabins and suits with all amenities one can wish for. All of these lodgings (as well as the bars, restaurants, the spa-areas, etc.) need to be mostly completely refurnished, painted and redecorated. I think not a single thing breakable has survived.
The hull needs a proper paint-job accordingly to OS&C Corporate Design to cover up all repairs, as does the whole interior of the ship.
Since OS&C ships are frequently looked after by DSE at Baltimore Shipyard you should have access to all OS&C standards within our database. Reverie itself received the new Corporate Design at Baltimore last year. Thus everything you need to know how she should look like and what has to be done should be either within your or our database.
The ships engines are still under construction and tested at the moment, thus I can't move the ship and will need your team here at Freeport 1 in Omega-3. The stations facilities should be sufficient to complete the task.

Good Evening,
Mr. Franklin, let me introduce myself. I am Harus Burke. President Director of DSE. I am glad that Orbital Spa and Cruise has come to us once again to work on another vessel. It makes me feel good knowing that the direction we are going toward, is brining is repeat customers!
After receiving this transmission, I made quick haste to my engineers and employees on Baltimore shipyard and asked if any of them wanted to volunteer to go on a trip to Freeport 1 for another OS&C project. I was surprised to see how many people signed up.
So to keep this shorter, myself, and a rather large crew arrived just moments ago to Freeport 1 in Omega-3. I took my employees for a nice cruiser in my personal Bustard Liner.
Now on to the part of the business no one ever really wishes to discuss. We can immediatly start the work required. Though we do always seek an up-front payment to ensure that we can cover our trip, and operating costs of course. The total bill from what I am seeing will amount to about 200,000,000 SC. We can start work once we get a deposite of 40,000,000 SC. Payments can be sent to DSE)Accrued.Interest.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Myself, and my engineers are more than happy to get this project underway!
You are full of surprises, Mr. Burke. I did not expect DSE to jump to this contract as fast as you and your crew did, but it is very welcome.
As per your request, the up front deposit of 40.000.000SC has been transferred; proof is attached to this message. The remaining payment will be conducted as soon as your team is finished.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me, or my chief engineer, Stevan Jester. You can find either of us on board the Reverie, or you may send a comm of course.
Meanwhile, I would be happy to invite you to a drink at the Docking Hub Bar here on Freeport 1, if your spare time allows it.

Good Afternoon,
My apologies for now communicating back to you sooner. I had to make a return trip back to Chesterfield to take care of some unfortunate administrative business that required my direct attention.
That being said, in the time I have been away, my engineers have been diligently at work with the interior design and construction of the vessel. With the station at our disposal, we have found that the Freeport administrators have given us much freedom, and we have so far been very thankful for their hospitalities they've provided.
You will find that the suites have been completed by a portion of my team, and they can be inspected to your liking whenever you are able. Another part of my team has also gone through the vessel, and built several bars, resturaunts, recreational facilities, business facilities, gyms, night clubs on different decks respectively depending on the "class" tickets purchased.
I am sure you will want to add your own flourishes to the vessel once we are fully complete with the interrior. I do hope thus far that what we have done is to your liking.
The exterior of the ship needed some basic work where the panels where repaired/replaced. Once this was done, my engineers began an entirely new paint scheme, that matched the interrior ambiance, and of course adding that Orbital Spa and Cruise touch.
Again, my apologies for now reaching out sooner. I should be back to the Freeport soon to personally check on the progress, and if possible have the project finished, and return the engineers back to Balitmore.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!

Good Afternoon,
It has been a bit since my last update, but my crew have 100% completed the repairs, and redesign interior of the Reverie. We added unique touches to the vessel that definatly makes her, one of a kind and unique. We have a feeling the Reverie will have a waiting list of passengers, for the next year alone just for people that would want to experience this next class vacation destination. DSE is once again proud to have been part of another amazing Orbital Spa and Cruiser project.
My crew have already been dispatched back to Baltimore shipyard to begin additional projects. Though we don't really wish to admit, the project took longer than expected, as normally we operate everything from Baltimore, though we feel the delays were minimal seeing as everything had to be delivered to Omega-3.
We do hope everything that was done was above expectations and satisfactory to not only you as the captain, but the board at Orbital Spa and Cruise as well. We look forward to any future busines you may have with this vessel, or any other in the Orbital Fleet.
Upon your satisfaction, the remainder of the payment can be issued to DSE)Accrued.Interest again. Thank you for giving DSE this project. Have a wonderful day.
I apologize for not responding sooner. I have been away to get some urgent things in order. And to be honest, I needed to get away to clear my head for some time. I hope my chief engineer, Stevan Jester, met all your needs in the meantime.
Upon my return I was surprised to read your last message and see everything finished. I must congratulate you and your team. You did a marvelous job; from the deepest of my hearts you have my gratitude. I will inform the board of directors about this. I am sure DSE will be the first to contact if we have need of your services again in the future.
The final payment of 160 Million Credits has been transferred to the designated account. Please see attachment for proof.

Greetings DSE!
Greetings Mr. Burke!
I am Theobald Franklin, Captain of the Orbital Spa and Cruise Liner Reverie. We had already contact in the past, and also the pleasure of doing business. I vividly remember the recent reworking of the OS&C|Reverie and your outstanding and professional work.
Thus I now come to you with another challenging task. As you might have heared, the OS&C|Breezwood has suffered fataly and has been destroyed in Texas. Its wreck litters the space around Beamount Base.
I now plan that a brand new Enterprise-Liner is built in its image: OS&C|Breezwood-II
Everything should look as its predecessor did, from the powercore, the weapons, the interior designs, even layout of the captains personal consol should be a mirror of the original; except one thing, which I will now elaborate.
I am in the process of negotiating the recovery of the wreck. Everything we can gather will be used to create an alloy, which I want you to use in the building process. As soon as the alloy is produced, it will be transported to you to Baltimore shipyard. Depending on the quality and composition of the alloy, which I of course don't know yet, you can use it for whatever purpose it is suitable, as long as everything of it is used. This is essential for the whole project. With this, the soul of the original Breezwood survives in the new one.
As soon as I finish the negotiations and the recovery of the wreck begins, I will let you know. So, what do you say? Is the project acceptable to you? What costs to you expect? I eagerly await your reply.
