Esteemed researchers and scientists,
My name is Valerian Aion, associate of the APM under Director J. Hammond, currently in charge of a select group of APM engineers and scientists whom I coordinate for various tasks and challenges. I am project lead of APM Project 86B: "Pinnae", responsible for its completion within a limited timeframe, as well as reaching a certain quality standard.
This project I've been assigned to consists of researching and developing several ship modules for a unique war vessel requested by The Core, needed for facilitating several challenges and tasks of high importance. Today I am contacting you to request your assistance considering the beneficial previous and current relations between The Core and the IRG, also ensuring further cooperation and prosperity between our factions.
Like any ship, the one being developed requires a power source and supply; however, the vessel we are currently working on is of much greater size and more power hungry than anything the APM has ever been tasked to build, thus making it capable of housing and needing a much bigger power core. After assessing current technology and known possibilities we have found that the Ingenuus Power Cells your group has developed to be the most efficient method of sustaining the needs of this ship.
This being said, I'm requesting your help with getting a better understanding of what are and how to use these power cells so that we can adapt current APM hardware and technology towards using them within this particular ship. Obviously the APM could spend their time trying to understand and reverse engineer this product, but like I said, I am working with a short deadline and I'd prefer having your assistance instead of going behind your backs. Note that this is required for a single vessel, not a whole shipline.
I hope it's self implied that if you agree to assist with this request your time and ingenuity will be compensated in kind. I'll be eagerly awaiting your decision.

Valerian,
So to put it plainly, you need a power cell. If I remember correctly, APM purchased a surplus cell as they only requested specifically 4, which was later agreed to be set to 5 for the most economic option offered to the organization. While I would like to support this project, we only permit the possession of 5 power cells per client, to which APM has already obtained such. It will be up to your group to handle this internally, as the cell was manufactured to the project purpose specifications of the other 4 units, and its capabilities should be more than enough in the size you require.
In either case, the unit limit is a policy agreed to in our Terms of Use, so If you need a different size unit and cannot engineer around the unit provided, we will gladly exchange the unit for no additional cost to you. Simply meet us at Ames Research Station with the unit, and we will do what we can with the metrics you provide us.
Additionally, the hard ceiling for our power cell's power production and transfer is heat - so when engineering a vessel around the use of these power cells, the better your cooling process, the more power you can support - just like any other power supply. We just do it a bit more efficiently, power per heat.
Best of luck,
Dr. James Erzie

Dr. James Erzie,
I believe you misunderstood me. The power cells you mentioned are currently in my possession and are designated for this specific project; we do not require additional units. What I need is assistance in figuring out how to modify APM hardware and technology to use those cells efficiently. A brute and quick adjustment can be done, but like you said, the better the cooling process the more power they can support. I suppose this is not the only condition and secret about their technology, therefore assistance of experienced personnel would be greatly appreciated and rewarded.
With this in mind, I can either bring over the required APM hardware units to Ames Research Station where it can be modified, or we can make it a bit easier and invite you over to Invicta Research Station to supervise the process briefly. Our stations proximity to the Alabama Shipyard makes this task, for us, much swifter and efficient.
Furthermore, you will be compensated for your time spent and effort if this goes well. Does 50.000.000 SC sound reasonable?

Valerian,
I see. Well, we make every attempt for our technology to remain compatible with as much technology as possible, which is why we typically handle installation. I already have a meeting to attend to on Invicta, so I'll simply bring a team along to assist your engineers in optimizing your systems. If you'll allow it, the team can work side by side with your engineers for the duration of the project, I'm sure some of my personnel would greatly appreciate the change of scenery.
I'll be sure to bring our needed data, and let me know how you'd like to approach this.
Best of luck,

Dr. James Erzie,
I am pleased to hear of your agreement to collaborate with the APM towards the completion of this task. I'll have your team cleared to dock on Invicta Research Station and entry to the *DM research and engineering* labs where the power cells, APM hardware (15.000 units) and other base materials are being gathered.
Even though we will speak in person soon enough, for logging purposes I'd prefer that any reports related to the development of this project to also be written here. I'll soon provide you with schematics on our current power supply module.
Last, but not least, please do not bring more than vital equipment abroad the Station. As The Core has it's reach within the APM and also being a paramilitary organization, they have made it clear that security measures are strict. Either way, I'm certain you'll find everything necessary on Invicta already.

Dr. James Erzie,
I am providing you with schematics for the power core itself. We currently have stocked up Invicta with the adequate APM hardware, azurite superconductors, titanium and a whole bunch of other materials in small quantities. We have not brought in any heat sinks and anything your group might need for modifying the cell mount, so I'll need a list of resources you may need to put in an order.
To my understanding the cells can be attached directly to the power core itself, therefore my engineers have designed a prototype specifically for this task. The ship will be using 4 IRG power cells for this, being backed up by 2 mako nuclear reactors.

Valerian,
It seems you greatly misunderstand the potential and purpose of the power cells you already possess. While we could technically do as you ask, it would be foolish. One of our power cells at their typical output is enough to power any vessel - with exceptions for exceptionally colossal sized vessels, such as a Colony Ship. The main limitation is heat, and having nuclear generators generating heat when you have four of these cells is a waste. At most you'll need two if I've understood your task correctly, and the rest of your power generation space should be instead optimized for cooling systems. Four cells and two nuclear generators is suicide, and we won't be responsible for your loss because of misuse of our units.
That being said, if you'll give us the chance, we'll properly engineer these units to be fully integrated into your systems - to run off of them instead of their typical use as auxiliary power. We designed our power couplings to essentially integrate with any system as a supplement, and to act like a capacitor would to the power grid as a power supply - essentially as a cushion, keeping your voltage constant even under high power demands. With a full central power grid designed around the cell, we can make some simple modifications for it to take the place of the nuclear generation entirely, and generate on their own, with one as the central core, and the other continuing to be the auxiliary system as required. Just because one cell can do the work, doesn't mean we want to localize the heat to one cell if we can help it.
We will need additional schematics on the entire power grid of the vessel, with the very least showing the maximum stress the system may have. From the sounds of it - you're building a superweapon, and I hope I'm wrong. We'll arrive on site soon, as it seems your lot likes to get a little crafty when boredom strikes.
Best of luck,

Dr. James Erzie,
We are aware of the capabilities of the power cells we've been provided, however we are not talking about a regular ship class. You we're right to a certain degree calling it a "superweapon", a weapon meant for establishing a proper adversary towards the Nomad threat within the Omicrons. As much as I'd like to believe that 2 cells will be enough, I can't with certainty equip the ship in that manner.
I'm not quite at liberty to disclose too much information, but I'll try to provide you with a better idea you might anyway deduct yourself upon your arrival.
The ship being designed will be of great size, much bigger than most space stations, therefore the area provided for the power rooms should and will be sufficient for installing proper cooling systems.
The ship is meant to be sustained in space and in battle for extended periods of time, sometimes deep within the Omicrons or Omegas where Core does not have means of resupplying properly, turning backup power generation methods a requirement.
The ship will be equipped with docking modules and mooring points as well as it needs the capability of temporarily powering up small outposts.
The ship is not meant to use every power generation module at the same time at full potential, but instead cycle through the sources in the most efficient manner our engineers can conceive.
As much as I'd like to provide you with schematics on the power grid itself, I'm afraid I'm not in charge of that project nor authorized to share the information. Certain details will always have to be known only by the manufacturing units themselves.
What I can say with certainty is that you'll see soon enough that there is more than enough space within the power room for adequate cooling systems.
On a side note, we are looking at designing a Plasma Propulsion Engine specifically for this ship, an engine which needs an enormous power supply, therefore one of the cells used will be solely dedicated towards propulsion.
This being said I'd like your green light towards proceeding on the set course, and I'm hoping to see you and your team joining me on Invicta soon.

Valerian,
Again, running fully off of our power supplies will be more than enough. With the similar concept as stated before, if you do use the four instead of two as we previously described, it would definitely meet your requirements. A number of our large stations and smaller outposts currently run on Ingenuus power cells - remarkably few in number. I would not boast them as the best we had to offer unless they were.
As for the project itself, with this more detailed mission statement, we can begin our work - however, we will eventually need to have schematic access in-person to even place them properly for weight and balance distributions, as well as what we call coolant highways throughout the ship. Heat is always a huge issue, and we will work to solve this in the most efficient method possible given the ideal performance ratings we'll be running against.
I regret to say I will not be able to stay for the duration of the project, but I will leave my capable teams alongside yours until it is completed. As for the integration of cells, I humbly request you do not start until my teams arrive, which will be within the next few days. We just want to be certain no mistakes are made that could cause catastrophic failures on any level. We want to keep our reputation and yours intact, and we want to have a piece of work we're proud of.
Best of luck,

Dr. James Erzie,
I am pleased to inform you that the APM and IRG teams have reached common ground and managed to design the adequate modifications and schematics of the needed module. From this point we will be gathering the required materials followed by assembling the power module itself.
I am happy to successfully conclude our business in this matter therefore I had arranged for your engineering team to be transported to the Nauru touristic resorts from where you can have them picked up at any time. In regards to your payment, to which bank account do you want me to wire the cash?
