''If it works, it works, I won't debate on this. However, I still find this beyond madness.''
She said after after the first sentence of Scarlet. The mercenary kept an eye on her surroundings while still looking at Jessica, listening to what she was saying. Then, the sudden mention of the possibility that Jack Daniels might not be dead shocked Lea. It was felt like a slap this news.
''Hold on... You say he might not be dead?! What's the deal? I was sure he was if I remember correctly the news on The Core's news channel.''

''Don't believe everything you read. On the off chance I'm right and that asshole is alive, we need to know what happened.
And that is where you come in. I need information on his whereabouts, heading, or anything really. I do realize this is a very tall order, but if you manage to sniff something, you'll be handsomely rewarded."

''I will do what I can, but as for now, I am stuck here for some days until my ship has received the upgrades. Oh and... Can I have a little whim? Would it be possible to have my ship compatible not only with The Core technology, but also with Edge World technology? ''

''That's possible by default. We rely heavily on edge worlds tech, as it is something that has been designed, built and heavily used on our region. Hell, some of them with tech stolen from us. So yeah, your ship will be fully compatible with Edge Worlds tech. Now, let's get back to the bar in your quarters. We need to discuss something.
Sasha! Here girl! We're going for a walk!"
Scarlet headed towards the elevator with the cybernetic panther in tow.

''Alright, I follow you. ''
She said while starting following again Scarlet to the bar of Durban station. To say the least, she can't wait to see the new upgrades her ship will receive, but as for now, better to follow the flow and discuss again. However, knowing that there's a slight chance that Jack is alive, even if it was not mission, she'd try anything to find him. Many things need to be said too.
As they eventually reached the bar, Lea Kaufman kept following Jessica. They both found a spot to discuss.
''So... what do you want to discuss. If it's not Jack nor infected people, what is it?''

''We need to discuss armor, paint jobs and internal ship systems.
Armor wise, we can beef it up, but that would slow it down. I suggest we slap high end composite panels, real light, but still offer substantial protection.
Furthermore, we are going to have to repaint it. We can keep the original color. That's my suggestion. That way, people wouldn't notice the upgrades and you'll catch them off guard.
And last but not least - internals. We can slam some pretty interesting tech in there. There's plenty on the market. If you have anything specific in mind, now is the time."

''I will go with what you said. Keeping the original colors so no one will notice until they see the inside. As for inside, I'd like some sophisticated. Something to ease the aiming assistance.''
She said while looking straight into Scarlet's eyes.
''So... If I am going straight, new technology capabilities with my Odin, either with civil, edge world and your technology, a better hull, but with the same original color and finally a better aim assistance.''

''Correct. Standard issue Core tech. Nothing experimental. Every component has proven itself in combat. Will be relatively easy to maintain, a bit more expensive than regular stuff. But it is worth every credit. As for aim assist, you're in for a treat. You will be able to hit a fly, in the eye, five consecutive times from half a click out while pulling hard evasive maneuvers. It will be unreal at first but you'll get used to it. We know our shit and our shit is the best there is.
