I have been chatting with some engineers and managed to secure some blueprints :
We are fully occupied with other work at the moment, but as AFC has purchased a Carrier too, and we are buisy outfitting it with docking modules :
what about working towards a carrier equipped to transport escorts and shuttles, and capable of taking a couple of transports or liners along ?
And an explorer to secure the coordinates and do Search & rescue jobs in dangerous space.
We can still try and get a licence to purchase a Bretonnian Royal Liner and outfitt it as mobile Hospital later on, if the bretonnian Aristocracy finally decides to deem us worthy of notice ?

Heya, Fynn,
If you want to see a medical Corvo cruiser all done up right, you need to contact John Holliday as he has two in service. I think you would be most impressed and no doubt he would be all over giving the tour. He also knows the legal aspects of it as the Zoners are quite secretive about it.
My other concern would be house space. Most won't allow a ship that big so I forsee legal issues. There is a reason why you won't see Med Force ships in house space outside of maybe Rheinland.
Lastly, I have heard about the Champagne system in Gallia. I'd like to visit it and make some new clients there but don't dare fly myself there. My ship won't do well against the Gallic Royals. Can you help me with this?
Hey Fynn, Sturm here. Still busy here at Jacinto City but I would love to get my hands on that carrier and convert it to a mobile medevac command center. Question is would it be able to dock CSVs? I was thinking of converting a couple of CSVs to Rescue Service Vehicles, if those babies could dock in there then it would be a great new addition to our rescue fleet.
Doc Nagger, would love to fly with you to champagne. It's been awhile since I've been there too with all the construction going here in houston. Let me know when you're planning to fly there, I might ask Fynn to give me some time off to fly there with you.
I was planning to send out a notice to Doc Holliday, asking for advice with the Corvo.
Im not sure about the legal angle, but as we are working on improving our standing with the Zoners as a whole, and as we do already have friendly dealings with both MFE and the TAZ church I hoped that would go well.
As for inner Hourse clearance : Tukker is working on an exposee already, and he tells me it is manageable.
Paramount would be a pre-cleared permission not only to fly the carrier in house space, but to equip it with jump drives capable of sending the ship itself together with its cargo of escort and shuttle vehicles and any accompanying Liner class relief vessles or Transporter class haulers full of supplies to any coordinates that we have cleared for use.
I discussed it with our legal advisors and we think setting and clearing those coordinates will be the greatest problem.
In the long run we will need the corvo to fly as scout to any danger zone or emergency site to clear the coordinates while the relief fleet is forming and loading supplies,
and then to set up triage coordination as the main fleet jumps in.
@Sturm : As far as I know the new design shown here has 2 docking module set to enable larger Freighter class vessles to dock, meaning that a CSF would probably fit that description. I was hoping you could coordinate the work we are doing for the AFC, as they have preordered several docking modules for use on their own carrier.
That will give you a chance to examine the ship before we finally order one ourselves.
As for the trip to Champagne : Why not ? Ask our friends at the Council if they would allow us to use jump drive technology for bringing in supplies while you are at iot, will you ? And if you are unsure : McKannon tells me his Montante is ready for the trip and he still wants to bring some gallic officers we captured and indentured to the Council for Internment, so he will accompany you if you wish.
The conferences are going well. They're taking longer than I expected but the information I'm gaining will help a lot. I speak with Bennie each night. He's doing well so I'll stay.
Fynn, did you need me to address the Crown? Diplomacy isn't my strength so I'm not versed in such matters. If you want me to meet with them, could you arrange things? If it's not needed then OK. I still would like to head to Champagne to spread some goodwill via medicine.
Sturm, I'd welcome your company and escort. In as much as I'd like to see Gallia, getting shot, arrested or whatever isn't my idea of visiting.
Also, I may have an admirer here on Cambridge. In checking my logs, I think he addressed us before but I can't be sure of his intentions, a Mr. Pierre Robiquet. I'll be careful but for all I know it may be an opportunity for Tinker and Transport. I'll keep you posted.
No , we do not want you to adress the crown od the war cabinet,
but you never know what opportunities might turn up.
If you happen to meet a staff surgeon from BAF , or a high echelon bretonnian scientist ... I´d know nobody to make a better impression than you.
As for that Mr. Robiquet : Now I am surprised.
Wasnt that the Solar Engineering skipper from Gallia, calling in on us to see if we would smuggle his Liner past the libertonian military ?
Well, I would caution you to be careful there. Im not sure if we can trust them , and I have not heared about any further contact between Tukker and them yet as I have been to buisy myself. I´m still looking for a capable administrator for the Brunswyck service station after all.
That he admires you is no surprise: we all do, Doreen.
Just be carefull or I will personally lead the group of adventurers hiking up to Gallia to fetch you back.

Heya, Fynn,
My conferences will end tomorrow around noon and the Haven will have much to gain from this.
If you remember my last message, I was contacted by and have met with Mr. Pierre Robiquet, the Gallic man who contacted the Haven awhile back. He seems to be a man of honor and so far, trustworthy. I had a drink with him and will dine with him tomorrow as I study his motives.
I do know that one of our goals was to have me go to Champagne and he has offered to take me there. If this is acceptable to you, I will take the trip as he has offered to return me home. How do you feel about this? I will have my beacon active at all times so that I can be tracked.
I would not exactly define our goal as sending our Chief Resident to Champagne... but I like the idea of getting more contacts up there. Be careful though , the gallic royalist court and aristocracy are no joke and definitively see nothing at all wrong with bending or even breaking people to fit their purposes.
We will be ready to place a few calls and get an evac ship into space for emergencies,
Im sending the nearest ambulance to Baffin as a midway stop.
I dont want to seem paranoid : I see no reason to really mistrust Mr. Robiquet. Only his home country and the people you could encounter there.. So do me a favour and be carefull, will you ? Ceep a calm head and think fast, after all your one of our brightest.
You dont have to have more weapons or more allies in an emergency... only to outsmart any hostility.
I´ll be watching your home here, so you keep your eyes open and focus on your surrounding.
