Lost Child of Rheinland

[Arne]

Gunter listened to Christian and looked curiosly at the hologram. It seemed there was already a lot of thought put into the repairs. He pondered a bit and then said: "While I know most if not all of the components in Rheinland ships, i'm not too known into building the components. I'll leave that up to Rupert and his Daumann kollegen." He poured a glass with rheinbier and then continued. "I do however can send a military detachment of our own to help as well. Perhaps a combination of both Daumann and Military engineers can freshen up the Vega." He turned to Rupert. "What are your thoughts on it, Rupert?"

His face went cold again hearing Christian's proposal. This was not something he'd like to do, but was necessary. The Vega being spotted could cause a new diplomatic incident. Rheinland was recovering, but still vurnerable at this point. There was no way this could be allowed in his eyes. "The Military's facilities are unfortunately restricted. Due to the sensitivity of this case, it will have to be done outside of Rheinland space." He went silent for a second, reading the dissapointment on Christian's face. "I'm sorry, but i have to think of all possible outcomes, including if- and probably when the Vega would be spotted in Rheinland space. The political backlash would be heavy if this ship was caught def-."

He looked at Rupert again, realizing he was probably not aware of their little treaty. He decided to continue, best to be open about his intentions. Meetings like these required trust and being secretive himself would not aid that cause. "...-If this ship was caught defending Planet Erie."
