Topic: RE: Bowex Civilian Carrier - Supply Contract
Good morning Mr. Hudson, I have the pleasure to announce you that all of the Aluminium requested for the production of Super Alloy have been shipped to Scarborough.
//Initially the construction of this project was conducted at Scarborough, however, lack of space prompted a move to Baltimore. The carrier was moved there without weapons, armour or shields, and is currently renting space at $10mil per week. Furthermore, on the completion of a module, a dice role will be made by a member of Bowex's HC. As this is a prototype test-bed model, things may go wrong!
1-5: Successful construction - all goes well and according to plan.
6-7: Minor Errors - problems means 25% of the modules commodities will need to be re-delivered.
8-9: Major Errors - significant problems mean 50% of the module's commodities will need to be re-delivered.
10: Catastrophic failure - the module's construction has completely failed and will need to be totally re-done.
Work at Baltimore has been progressing admirably. Recently, the vessel's internal hangar bays were finally completed, with internal equipment designed to service and maintain a snub component being fully installed into the ship's power infrastructure. With the bay's internals and superstructures complete, the vessel is now effectively ready for operations. Only minor refits are required at this point.
This carrier of yours is a magnificent looking vessel. It's one thing seeing it on paper and another gazing out at it from the living quarter windows, the light of New York's star reflecting off the polish surfaces.
The Hanger bays have been completed, seems the decision to bring her to Baltimore was a good on indeed. I've a lot of respect for these Libertonian engineers after seeing the kind of work they do. I'm pleased to say, now has come the time for fitting the crew quarters and the luxury suite for Bowex's directors! I've included a list of materials below needed to finish this stage of production, though if there are any special requests now would be the time for Bowex staff to voice them... I think I'll go for a Jacuzzi and mirrorball theme...

Moving construction to Baltimore has had a rather positive effect on the workforce. Working in a non-cramped environment where alert sirens are not going off every other second, as there are no random raids or burning ships coming in for repairs, made the final stages of construction flow quite a lot more smoothly. Bowex's engineers were so content that they seemingly didn't even notice the fact how unnecessarily and bizarrely decadent the Director's quarters are, or how spartan, grey and depressing, the crew quarters are. The management thought about investigating why not a single complaint was uttered throughout the last stages, but the thought soon departed their minds as they gathered around in the officer's lounge to celebrate with a very old bottle of scotch. With the carrier fully operational, preparations started being made for the return to Scarborough.
If you could see what I'm seeing right now, I have no doubt you'd agree. It's beautiful... It's with great joy to announce that the carrier has been completed on time, on schedule and (mostly) within budget! Me and gang from R&D are already celebrating a job well done, and we invite you to join us before the maiden voyage! I'm particularly happy with the way the lights reflect off the mirrorball in my quarters...
Mr. Hudson, our minds turn to whether you have any particular plans in mind for the maiden voyage back home? It would be of great interest to us in R&D to observe and analysis the voyage.
It's moment like this that make my job so great *the sound of a quiet sob of joy*.

This is truly an amazing sight and I am most happy to say congratulations to all that have worked on it! So, our maiden voyage home? We'll need a lot of escorts for sure. We don't want anything to happen before it's reached Bretonia. We'll need to worry about that first!
