After a couple of weeks of work, I have gotten myself the needed permits to move to a more research-centric location.
My original intention to try for Ames Research Station met with no better success than when Star attempted to move there, although, at least, this time, they deigned to reply. It is unfortunate that the reply was comprised of easily disproven lies, but, given our history, maybe it was inevitable. I suppose that is the Zoner mindset at work, attempting confrontation avoidance when addressing unpleasant truths.
In any case, while Heisenberg was not my first choice of facilities, it will be a workable solution. The fact that the facility is not factionally aligned will actually work in my favor as I will be able to reinforce the lab space to what I feel are adequate specifications without too many other people getting into my business.
I have forwarded a proposal to OSI that they provide a Hyperspace Survey Scanner MK II. I am hoping that they are willing to do that work as I was very satisfied with the one that was part of Sleipnir's fit. Speaking of which, after two weeks of forms, inquiries, correspondence and approval Rheinland isn't going to fine me or shoot on site for having the Scanner installed. I suppose, eventually, I'll need to register in Bretonia as well, but, for the time being, my work will be in other places in the sector.
As is so often the norm, life is a case of an old military axiom, "Hurry up and wait."
