We are excited to see that with the help of your ever growing logistical department that the majority of the required supplies for the super structure have been delivered.
I also wanted to inform you that I have gotten word from the Harbor Master that the Big Q will be able to enter the dry-docks early Sunday morning. It is expected that removing the Biomes and towing them to another portion of the facility will take upwards of 90 hours. We're guessing that sometime Friday your engineers will be able to survey the biomes in more detail and adjust plans for any damage that may have occurred during the removal process.

Another notice.
Bonuses delivered. Payments ([1]) have been processed for recent shipments.
Mr. Wright, I'm glad to hear that. With the current pace of shipment deliveries, all materials should be ready for the biomes once they're extracted on Friday, and we should be able to conduct our refits and systems integration with relative ease and expediency.

Herr Wright.
I'm Anders Löfgren, Bio-Engineer for Synth Foods and chief supervisor of all Bio-Engineering Operations throughout the eastern sector of our operations, which just so happens to include the Omicrons and these operations at Livadia Shipyard in particular. Pleased to meet you.
I was able to make a visit to Livadia recently, just as the final shipments were being offloaded and work in earnest proceeded. I can inform you that "Stage Two" - or Construction and Initial Integration, as we refer to it - is proceeding at quite the expedited pace. Despite the differences between the Quetzalcoatl's old systems and current Synth Foods technology, there is enough common ground that we see little need for additional material or significant delay in construction. With all hope, we may be able to conduct power-on tests and sowing before month's end. I will, of course, be sure to inform you as to the result of such tests.
I hope that will be all for now. Do let me know if you have any further questions or concerns; otherwise, I shall contact you again when our work is completed.
Oh, and, Miss Wakefield, you'll find your bonus dispensed here.

A pleasure to meet you, we are certainly excited at the prospect of this upgrade finally being complete. Speaking of; The Captain claims that the vast majority of the super structure has been reattached and what is left is mere 'superficial' connective work, which could be done underway. I wanted your professional opinion on his request, we of course have a financial interest in clearing our use of Livadia sooner rather than later. However it would be of little use to have all this work undone by a hasty launch.

Herr Wright.
I apologize for the delay, but there were in fact some hiccups in getting all of the new hydroponics technology to play nicely with the rest of both the superstructure and the underlying electrical systems, and we didn't dare risk have the ship leave shore power while such instability might still be present. However, I'm glad to say that those issues have since been worked out, and so far what tests we've been able to complete have green lights across the board. Sowing and harvesting tests at full production levels will of course take some time yet as even accelerated harvesting cycles still take their time, but otherwise I do believe we can give you the green light to commence shakedown away from Livadia.
We'll remain on board to oversee the remainder of the tests, and ensure what other low-level work necessary to see the project to completion is done in a timely fashion, but otherwise, I do believe you and the rest of the Quetzalcoatl's crew can consider themselves the proud new proprietors of two new Synth Foods biodomes.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please do let me know.
