Mercana grins in amusement, intrigued by the report.
"Good good, I will wait to hear what the engineering team has to say about the blueprints. It will be nice to give Otemachi a bit of a face lift eh?"
He takes a final puff of his cigar and ashes it out, looking back toward Jacob.
"Another barge for supply duties would be quite a dream come true indeed. With more contracts that we get involved in, the better we can allocate resources based on our capabilities. I wouldn't consider it going overboard with spending credits, rather investing in a tool that will benefit our company and it's business associates in the future. "
Mercana straightens up in his chair, arranging a few items on the desk, checking his hair before putting his hand out to shake Jacob's hand.
"Well Jacob, it has been a pleasure hearing this report. I will note your outstanding work effort in our next performance evaluation. Unfortunately I must take leave for a business summit on Pittsburgh, my Armored Transport awaits.. Anyway great job, keep up the good work!"
