Signora De Marco,

My apologies, I was operating under the impression that both the matter I was invited to address would be a lesser concern, and that Miss Krest would continue to manage your enquiry. That being said, it is my pleasure to continue talking shop, and the minutiae thereof.

As I discussed earlier, one scanner is capable of operating in both continuous and intermittent scanning modalities according to power demand and operational need, selected according to contacts detected, as well as their proximity. Having two scanners mounted to the same ship introduces a new problem, whereby each scanner must share the same power source with the other. Our firmware does account for this use case, and permits interoperability of the scanners, which detect and network with each other to select the optimal scanning protocol, making use of the additional hardware, and disabling redundant systems to reduce energy demands. An intentional connection using the networking ports is preferable, though the scanners are capable of discovering interconnected and nearby equipment by other means. I believe this functionality was developed based on a hypothetical and as a weekend project. Our testing so far has suggested that the application of additional hardware sharing similar power sources does deliver increased sensitivity during long range scans, and increased detail and finesse during thorough lower-range scans. This improvement is however, mild compared to the importance of ensuring optimal power supply to the units. I am glad to hear that you have an adequate computing power to interpolate scan data from both scanners simultaneously. Ensure your processors are appropriately bridged to both scanners in parallel to ensure scan data is not interpreted with integrated hardware.

We are happy to accept your existing scanner as a trade-in and offer a discount on its value against your purchase of two Minified Spyglass Scanners. If it is not suitable for refurbishment, we will repurpose acceptable parts for repairs and analysis depending on the origin of the scanner. Rest assured any retained data will be stored securely and confidentially before being securely destroyed. If it is your intent to venture towards Liberty, Cochrane would indeed be suitable. If you should find yourself nearer Kusari, Leiden would also be perfectly capable of carrying out the modifications to the same standard. We will accept your payment on delivery to reduce any financial risks to yourself or us, in the event of any mishap prior to your arrival. If you are not willing or able to bring your ship to one of our Lane Hacker technology associates, especially depending on the class, size and complement of the Amalfi, we are able to deliver the equipment to a suitable modular outpost of your choosing for a small fee, payment on delivery or in advance.

Do let me know how you would like to proceed and I will ensure to notify the relevant personnel of your intentions and arrival.
