Jonathan Kalh,
You have been granted access to the laboratory space for official business purposes. You will be accompanied on a two-person policy while there, which will either be myself or one of Auxesia's many security personnel. You may visit at your leisure. I have my own business to attend to in the Borderworlds, but I'll be in touch.
-Dr. E.

Jonathan Kalh,
I'd like to report that your order has been completed. While moving cargo around I couldn't help but notice the Ingenuus logo on a pallet in your storage. I had to sift through my records, but I remember an exchange from your time in Liberty, and our business around it. If you would like, I could install it for you where desired. If you'd like an auxiliary power supply on your Osiris, or say a high-output grid placed in something more permanent, we could easily arrange that.
I'd do so in good faith that the time it has spent idle was potential wasted, and no additional fees would be charged. Life in the underground functions much differently than the business world; deeds are done for the invaluable concept of trust. A strange concept, really. Enough of my old-man ramblings, notify me what you would like done.
Best Regards,
-Dr. E.

Hello again Doctor, thank you for your invaluable service to Outpost Ozymandias, I do hope the Financial department has been paying you on time for the cargo being delivered?
Ah, you seemed to have stumbled upon a treasure, haven't you? The Powercell was meant to increase the power output of the Osiris, giving the Amenhotep an edge in terms of strike power and engine performance. Should you wish to undergo this important task I would be happy to not only pay you for your time but give you a position on the Ozymandias, should you so choose it.
Jonathan Kalh,
As we discussed earlier, I scarcely need more payment than what I need to support my crew. Not to mention this thing sat idle for how many months? Keep your funds for now, and we'll do the exchange to install the Cell when you cycle our crews for the first time. I'm sure yours will enjoy the time off.
[02.06.2018 04:10:12] IRG|Itherael: J: Hold position here.
[02.06.2018 04:10:29] IRG|Itherael: J: I'm 'kicking the hornet's nest' so to speak.
[02.06.2018 04:11:28] CV-Montu: V: Bring it on.
[02.06.2018 04:21:02] IRG|Itherael: J: Seems they don't want to bring anything decent around.
[02.06.2018 04:21:15] Amenhotep: Kalh: They know they are out matched.
[02.06.2018 04:21:27] IRG|Itherael: J: Still crawling here.
[02.06.2018 04:21:32] CV-Montu: V: They're always boring when it comes to eating their own medicine.
[02.06.2018 04:22:57] IRG|Itherael: J: Captain Kalh, there's something about my operations you should know.
[02.06.2018 04:23:07] Amenhotep: Kalh: Go on.
[02.06.2018 04:24:46] IRG|Itherael: J: I have roughly 6,500 members under me in crew and confidential assets.
[02.06.2018 04:26:17] Amenhotep: Kalh: I don't seem to follow.
[02.06.2018 04:26:33] Amenhotep: Kalh: What are you trying to tell me exactly?
[02.06.2018 04:26:59] IRG|Itherael: J: These assets are everything from trained gunman, engineers, physicists, and other corporate assets who share my mission.
[02.06.2018 04:27:35] Amenhotep: Kalh: It seems you have a huge following then. How does this pertain to me?
[02.06.2018 04:28:06] IRG|Itherael: J: If we can, this group you're forming could share those who also share your mission.
[02.06.2018 04:28:45] IRG|Itherael: J: That is to say logistics and research.
[02.06.2018 04:28:52] Amenhotep: Kalh: I am catching on now. What would I have to give in return for this huge man power?
[02.06.2018 04:29:25] IRG|Itherael: J: That I don't have already?
[02.06.2018 04:29:51] Amenhotep: Kalh: I suppose.
[02.06.2018 04:30:57] IRG|Itherael: J: The underground is an economy of trust. Your crew is specialized to your mission; repelling the nomad threat.
[02.06.2018 04:31:22] IRG|Itherael: J: You have veterans among your crew capable of much more than even my briefly trained crew.
[02.06.2018 04:32:19] Amenhotep: Kalh: We both have a lot to learn from each other yes.
[02.06.2018 04:32:34] IRG|Itherael: J: If we were adversaries, your gunners' aim would best mine on your worst day, even with the efforts we've taken.
[02.06.2018 04:32:58] IRG|Itherael: J: My helmsman could also learn much. It's a wonder that brute force alone has gotten this far.
[02.06.2018 04:33:10] CV-Montu: V: You'd be amazed.
[02.06.2018 04:33:20] IRG|Itherael: J: Confidence is scary, I suppose.
[02.06.2018 04:33:23] CV-Montu: V: Works for me all the time.
[02.06.2018 04:33:35] IRG|Itherael: J: That aside, I should cut to the chase.
[02.06.2018 04:34:10] IRG|Itherael: J: I need my crew trained even further, especially when they find their new home.
[02.06.2018 04:35:16] Amenhotep: Kalh: What home do you speak of, if i may ask?
[02.06.2018 04:35:47] IRG|Itherael: J: Our new warship. Zoners with a warship, ironic, I know.
[02.06.2018 04:36:02] CV-Montu: V: Not unheard of.
[02.06.2018 04:36:28] Amenhotep: Kalh: Well, I have never seen one, but I don't dare doubt you. I would be honored to have my men train yours in the art of defense and combat capabilities.
[02.06.2018 04:37:09] Amenhotep: Kalh: And my Executive Officer Lilly Shield can supervise not only your helmsmen training but the gunners as well. She is my most seasoned Officer.
[02.06.2018 04:37:43] IRG|Itherael: J: A Colony ship is a great base asset, self-sufficient in many ways, but not nearly as flexible in combat.
[02.06.2018 04:37:46] Amenhotep: Lilly: You speak to highly of me sir.
[02.06.2018 04:38:02] IRG|Itherael: J: Its colossal size is its only defense.
[02.06.2018 04:38:18] IRG|Itherael: J: Are you familiar with crew cycling?
[02.06.2018 04:40:08] Amenhotep: Lilly: Yes, we still remember all our Naval Training.
[02.06.2018 04:40:28] IRG|Itherael: J: Essentially I'd like to include my secondary crew on a cycle with yours.
[02.06.2018 04:41:29] IRG|Itherael: J: Allow a nominal percentage of my crew to serve on your ship to learn a different fighting approach, then be cycled to rest.
[02.06.2018 04:41:42] Amenhotep: Lilly: with Outpost Ozymandias making incredible strides I don't think this will be a problem. However..
[02.06.2018 04:42:17] Amenhotep: Lilly: Any and all crew, to include myself, are subject to scan upon entry of the Amenhotep.
[02.06.2018 04:42:40] Amenhotep: Lilly: For obvious reasons this is mandatory.
[02.06.2018 04:42:45] Amenhotep: Lilly: I do hope this wont be an issue.
[02.06.2018 04:43:44] IRG|Itherael: J: I'd expect you to do that much. Trust, but verify.
[02.06.2018 04:44:22] Amenhotep: Lilly: I am glad you understand, this Osiris is the Home of Captain Jonathan Kalh, security is high here.
[02.06.2018 04:45:17] Amenhotep: Lilly: Your men will learn a lot. You should warn them that we expect nothing less then their full attention and commitment to learn.
[02.06.2018 04:48:52] IRG|Itherael: J: All I request is that you don't stress them out too much. They're mostly civilians, but it's easier to teach a physicist to shoot than it is to teach a mercenary how to do doctorate level physics.
[02.06.2018 04:50:38] Amenhotep: Kalh: We will not drill them as we do our crew, We will show some restraint.
[02.06.2018 04:52:35] IRG|Itherael: J: Anyway, that should cover most of the business immediately at hand. My secondary crew is on Port Tacoya at the moment.
[02.06.2018 04:55:54] IRG|Itherael: J: You're free to pick up and cycle your crew out whenever you're ready.
[02.06.2018 04:56:16] IRG|Itherael: J: We have what we need here.
[02.06.2018 04:56:59] Amenhotep: Lilly: Once we return to Ozymandias we begin the cycling process, I am sure our crew would love a chance to kick back and enjoy some time off.
[02.06.2018 04:57:10] IRG|Itherael: J: We'll be jumping back to the our staging location, and I'll re-dispatch my transports to further aid your outpost.
[02.06.2018 04:59:34] IRG|Itherael: J: Cycle 25 percent of your crew. We have more than enough men. It's imperative to maintain your combat potential or not to overwhelm your quarters.
[02.06.2018 05:00:07] Amenhotep: Lilly: Perfect, we will take care of the rest.
[02.06.2018 05:01:01] Amenhotep: Kalh: Safe travels Doctor, We will train your men well.
=== End of Logs ===
I've included the logs of our conversation for reference. I will have my men briefed within the day, and they will be ready to install the Power cell given you have a place to dry dock, since the vessel will have to be powered down for the cell to be integrated into the power system. Power channels will have to be included, and you will likely desire to have your cooling system updated, as the higher output can start to decrease the lifespan of most traditional heat channels.
Technical bits aside, my crew will be ready by the time you arrive.
Best Regards,
-Dr. E.

Thank you for those logs Doctor.
As for the cooling system, do what you think is best in terms of upgrading it. The Junkers on Invergordon know to keep a spot open for me. The work can be done there. Do you have the means to upgrade the cooling system?
Jonathan Kalh,
Reasonably speaking, that could cause a large amount of downtime. We would essentially have to pull out the system and create a thermal superconductive highway to which heat was directed out in your exhaust. Essentially each component in the system would have to be recreated to support this system, placing an absurd amount of invasive retrofitting on your vessel.
We could, however, make an adapted highway system that connects to your current heat sinks, and reduces the expel time out your exhausts to nearly zero, so your coolant system would be marginally more efficient, but that would not remove the necessity to maintain for heat damage, like a full highway system would. This would only take a matter of days, and your crew could remain on board once the power cell was fully installed, though I wouldn't recommend it.
Either situation is possible, but with our current resources, I recommend the latter.
Best Regards,
-Dr. E.

I agree, The Adaptive Highway is more efficient for our current situation. Once Outpost Ozymandias has expanded more we could do the full job. I will tell my XO to head for Invergordon. We will see you soon Doctor.

Doctor, do you have a status update? I also got word from the Hellfire Legion that I will be allowed to enter Kansas and Vespucci unharmed. Care to show me the way to this Facility?
