Good day Mr. Rolf,
my name is William Bright, Vice President of Ageira Innovations.
Firstly, I'm glad to see a new and motivated face in the CEO position of Deep Space Engineering. Ageira Innovations is more then happy to continue the productive and organized cooperation with you and your employees.
Secondly, with the Bering - Hamburg jump gate connection being done since 831 A.S , we would like to prepare the disassembly of the reconstruction site. Our monitoring and traffic data of the jump gate showed zero anomalies or problems since the completion.
Please let me know if you have enough time to discuss the final phase of this project.
Sincerely,
William Bright,
Vice President,
Ageira Innovations

Howdy there Mr. Bright.
Glad to see you reaching out. And am I doubly glad for Ageira undergoing some long-awaited restructuring at the top. Them older folks need to make space for people who will continue moving Liberty forward, right?
Now about this Bering site. To tell you true, I would have decommissioned the thing right after them Rheinlanders were finished with their civil war. But as I understand it, there is some high-level reason for it still being in operation. I think we best make sure our nozzles line up nice and tight, and then take it all the way up to Mr. Livingstone.
The place certainly needs to go, and I happen to have a grand idea of where it can be re-assembled at next. If you're willin' to hear me out, we may save on the disassembly costs, AND save on the pre-assembly phase of an upcoming op. Two words - Pennsylvania, Kansas. But for now, let's just make a joint report to Internal Affairs and see what they wanna do with the station. I'll send over some experts for an engineering inspection, and you can have your folks write up the gate operational status.
If all that sounds good to you, I'll contact you again when my people have finished, and we decide where to go from there.
Good day Mr. Rolf,
Mr. White is still the president of Ageira Innovations, so there was no big internal structure change at all.
Anyway, we will get our reports from the crew and scientists at the Hamburg Gate Construction site in the following days, so we can evaluate the results and end the project in the nearest future.
About the connection between Kansas and Pennsylvania, last time we checked the Kansas system, it was filled with hostiles part of the Hellfire Legion, Rogues and even the Insurgency Navy. If this changed at all, we can probably go ahead and ask the Navy about the current situation in Kansas. If the pirate activity in Kansas is under control, we can go ahead and inform Interspace about another loan for DSE, USI and Ageira to achieve this project.
Please keep us informed once your engineers are done with their work.
Sincerely,
William Bright,
Vice President,
Ageira Innovations
Good day Mr. Rolf,
one of our scientists visited the Bering - Hamburg Gate Construction Site and made a report about the gate. I will upload a hardcopy for it so you are able to read it aswell.
Flight log: Jack Cole, Gauss
Performed diagnostic scans of the Bering/Hamburg gate, Bering side.
Most results are in the green with the exception of the Stabilizer Shielding. The readings show spikes in power consumption that the systems in place are not calibrated to handle over the long term. Currently this does not impede the service of the gate, nor do I expect any failures in the immediate future but this will need maintenance very soon if we want to prevent expensive and lengthy repairs. I have a preliminary suspect for the issues, reactor breach irradiation. On a hunch, I investigated the salvage being processed in-system and compared it to radiation emissions from nearby asteroids. I currently believe debris has been captured by the local asteroids, irradiating them, and as they come close to or strike the gate they are overwhelming the shielding... The shielding, upon inspection, that was not rated for such hazards during construction.
I suggest:
1. Thorough scans of the surrounding asteroid and debris be measured and catalogued.
2. DSE, with Ageira assistance, re-modulate the indicated shielding based on above results.
In the end, I suggest that DSE follows the suggetion of Mr. Cole sooner or later.
Nevertheless, I still hope we can continue with our project about Kansas and Pennsylvania connection, did you Mr. Rolf manage to get any news from the Liberty Navy about the security status of said systems?
Sincerely,
William Bright,
Vice President,
Ageira Innovations

SUBJECT: Bering Gate Site Maintenance & Pennsylvania Situation
Howdy Mr. Bright.
I took the liberty of going through the maintenance reports for the last few years of the Bering site being operational.
Here's the thing - the problem Mr. Cole describes is not as unknown as you might expect. You see, the folks watching the radiation readings realized pretty early on that the system ain't the most hospitable to long-term installations. However, with the site not going anywhere anytime soon, they figured that they may as well use its facilities to fix any problems as they arose. With the incentive structure around funding, them folks got to show home office that the station needed to continue getting funding to carry out its projects.
All that to say - I concur with the report. Before the station pulls out, we will need to upgrade the gate shielding. The station admin get what they wanted all along - more funds and supplies for another project. And I get to report to home office and the shareholders that the site can be better employed elsewhere. I suggest that Mr. Cole draw up a list of necessary gear for the upgrade, and I'll instruct station admin to do the same. We can then split the contract in half between us, and leave the experts to perform the upgrade. If all that sounds good to you, I'll be getting back to you with the numbers real soon.
Now as for the security situation in Pennsylvania. I gotta tell ya', it's not lookin' good. I've already convinced the shareholders to expand our security division and further invest into external incentives. We can't rely on the Navy to secure the ops for us, as you know as well as I that those boys always got their hands full. Besides, the politics of the situation prevent them from going on the offensive. After all, it's just a few Zoner terrorists we gotta worry about - or so it's being reported. If the local situation becomes untenable, we'll have to call the big guns, but I definitely don't wanna do that before throwing more of them credits at the problem. With your own initiatives already in place, I'm sure we'll give any troublemakers a hard time. Though I would suggest adding them terrorists to the list...
We'll worry about Kansas in due time. I'm sure you'll agree that establishing one side of the terminus is the bigger job. The other side will fall into place soon after that, regardless of who takes issue.
I look forward to prepping for next steps with our old partners!
I've been temporarily CCed onto this conversation. I appreciate Mr. Bright for pulling me in and I thank the both of yall for the attention given to my report. I will try to keep this short and to the point.
Now that work on the Bering project is moving forward, I will take a team and start documenting the readings with dedicated equipment for the area surrounding the gate. Those readings will be forwarded along with the normal paperwork to the station admin in Bering. My ship is already being loaded up so I'll be done in a blink of an eye. As far as the materials needed for the repairs, given that the parts have been undergoing undue stress and being maintained in piece meal, I suggest replacing the affected systems wholesale. I will attach a list but I will leave it to the on site engineers on the exact quantities.
The replacement of the emitters and capacitors are the priority, as such, here is my recommendation of materials that will need to be shipped onto site:
--Energy Field Equipment
--Ageira Gate/Lane Parts
--Superconductors
There are other minor necessities of course but I won't waste both of yall's time with those. Once the capacitors and emitters are installed, liquid coolant replaced, and the superconductive interlacing is brought down to temp, modulation should be a quick process. I can't fathom the multiplexors needing any attention during the repairs but I would keep an eye on the ones connected to the emitter arrays during testing just to be on the safe side. You never know with the feedback from the power spikes and all.
Anyway, thank you again for allowing me to work on this and for letting me contribute. If there is any need for my expertise directly, I will be at Baltimore running experiments thanks to DSE's generosity after I finish the scans in Bering.
I have taken the liberty and talked with some our guys here on Pueblo. We crunched the numbers based on the gate blueprints and the expected damaged parts, plus the new shield modulating equipment.
Energy Field Equipment - 5.000 units
Ageira Gate/Lane Parts - 10.000 units
Superconductors - 8.000 units
We've been greenlighted to start shipping in the parts as soon as bossman gives us the thumbs up on the project. Given the low quantities, Ageira will handle the shipments so you folks can start work as soon as you'd like. That said, given the delicate nature of some of the equipment, we will be restricted to freighters. Mentioning this so no one is confused when smaller shipments arrive at a time.

Howdy there Mr. Cole.
I have a report about the situation on site which paints a grimmer picture than what you're proposin' here. In addition to the system replacements you described, we will need to take care to repair and reinforce the installation.
Apparently, the damage was concealed to avoid concerning the shareholders, but the installation cannot be moved anywhere in the current state. Therefore, I am appending additional items to the equipment list you have provided. These may be transported in any rated hauler, as DSE will perform on-site integrity checks regardless of their stated condition. I am of a mind to open these up to all our subcontractors, so that you folks can focus on replacin' the emitters and capacitors, while my teams reinforce the station. Here's a complete list:
Construction Machinery: 10,000 units
Hull Panels: 10,000 units
Industrial Materials: 10,000 units
Munitions: 10,000 units
Optronics: 5,000 units
Quantum Multiplexors: 10,000 units
Robotics: 10,000 units
As you will no doubt notice soon enough, additional teams will be brought on station to oversee the repairs. Don't worry if these folks are a bit short-tempered with ya - they've been instructed to keep a close eye on this operation, and to prevent unnecessary questions. It would be quite embarrassing if news of this.. structural damage got out, and I have bigger fish to fry than fielding questions during shareholder meetings. But feel free to continue your own work in the meantime, and report back when things are nearin' completion.
