Guten Tag Frau Tyler,
our accountants confirm transfer, Orbital may begin constructing yacht. First rate of payment will be transferred once the keel is laid.
If Orbital needs any additional resources delivered, please let us know. As we understand, that ship will be constructed at Baltimore Shipyard, is that correct?

Dear Hanna,
I do apologize for keeping you waiting. There's been some restructuring within the company lately, and it seems your question got lost in the mix-up. I'd like to assure you that Daumann's yacht is still of the highest priority for our fabrication teams, and now that the administrative situation has been resolved, we look forward to commencing construction.
While we are more then able to source all resources required for construction ourselves, and indeed have deals with several local suppliers to ensure only the highest quality materials are utilized in your ship, localisation software is typically handled locally. However; if you would like the ship to be configured for Rheinland space and are able to secure the appropriate software, we would be happy to install it for you prior to launch.
You're quite correct, the initial construction will be handled at Baltimore shipyard, with internal fit-out and systems testing carried out at our facilities in Cortez. Of course, representatives from DHC are welcome to inspect the construction, though I would ask that a week's notice be given prior to any inspection to ensure the safety of the inspecting party, considering the industrial environment required for construction of a spacecraft of the Democritus' class, though I'm certain you're well aware of the environment involved.
We're in the final stages of sourcing materials as I write, and I expect we'll begin construction within seven days. I'll contact you with an update as the keel is laid.
