Good to have a chat with the Technocracy. My Science Officer, Albert, has put together an improved schematic to overhaul the interior of the NX-01. This will essentially change our flagship vessel into our mobile base of operations - if Deep Space Engineering is up to the task, or if the vessel itself is capable of being modified to that degree.
In any case, this project requires hauling out equipment and personnel from Starflier Base to live on that particular Bustard-Class ship. Since we requested a few crew members to relocate from Inverness to Kepler, I'm asking if your staff will be content living on board a vessel that will make frequent use of Rift-Jumping technology. Looking forward to your response.

Leon has altered his plans to relocate our staff. Instead of placing our researchers on a Bustard-Class ship, Leon has started making small preparations to have a Shukensha-Class liner converted into a research vessel, akin to the NX-01. So all of our team, plus the scientists you have sent over, would be moving onto the liner to continue their work. The department would be reduced from R&D to just Research, since producing any hardware onboard will be impossible.
If you are opposed to having your own members living aboard an altered luxury liner, then by all means send in your objections. We'd like to know where your team is going so we can make the necessary arrangements.
The Directorate has discussed the implications of such changes, and in light of these discussions, we have decided a crew swap is necessary. In place of our more ... organic workers, we will be sending in place automated personnel from Aergia's department.
However, before we consider such, we must know the intended area of operations for this mobile facility. Where will it be going? If the liner moves too far away, it may prove difficult to send a rapid response team in the circumstances of emergencies.

Much appreciated. Thank the Directorate for me, if you are able to pass on my words.
This new mobile research platform will be scanning for rifts in space, very much like our Bustard-Class vessel. Our operations will take us all over Sirius, though with our new discoveries of anomalies within Sirius, most of our time may be spent learning as much as we can about them. What sectors of space have the Technocracy got a presence in? I'll be sure to keep that information easily accessible, in case we're stuck in an unfortunate position and need emergency assistance.
We have discovered four locations where these anomalies are present. If needed, we can limit ourselves to ones where the Technocracy has influence.
