Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm happy to inform you that my current project, the Ascension, being a standard Catapult-Class Siege Cruiser with a built in cloaking core we've acquired from the neural-net market, is now functioning properly. I know, I've done this mostly without the high command's knowledge, but I didn't think I'd have gotten their blessing for it. I just had to take the initiative, since I'm sure the outcome will pay off for us all in the future.
The engineers had a bit of trouble getting the device to work with the cruisers' internal power-core, but they assured me that there shouldn't be any major conflicts from now on. I took a swift look over the blueprints, and I'm quite impressed about how fast our engineers were able to almost restructure the power-core and its infrastructure to fuse it with the cloaking core. It's basically a whole new ship, if you ask me. We had to sacrifice some of the cruisers armour plating to make sure the core is working to its maximum potential, but that shouldn't be a problem if the core functions properly. Another downside is, that due to the restructured internals of the ship, we're not able to bear the usual amount of crew, that is required to run a Cruiser of the Catapult-Class, but we'll figure something out eventually.
I'm currently still running test schedules and stress tests to make sure the ship can be soon used in real battle scenarios. The crew has signed in for the prototype and the potential risks of the whole project, so have I, since I put faith in our engineers finesse and my input.
As for the high command, make sure to take a look at our all new baby sometime, I'd love to see your reactions.
