Yeah, by now, you're probably chewing Paige down or already fired her, or what you spoofs do in these cases. But, I come with tidings. Ill tidings. The Legion was hit in Bering and Texas by Unioners and Hackers. Locklear almost bought the farm. I'm in Vespucci already, fixing the Sunrise. I'm actually inside the secondary cooler array of the power core. The shielding helps to muffle the signal. And it was a miracle she didn't went for good. Guess it's true.. When you treat them right, they do right by you.
Either way, I'll be back by the end of the week, just making sure the Legion doesn't start running around like a headless chicken. There will be blood, Avery. The men want payback, and you know what that means in Hellfire terms. Meanwhile, I already told Levy to keep the structural stress tests and to record everything, all the while they are changing the foundry to a new model. Keep him and his stocked on beer. Khan is leading the team on building the electronic grid and arrays, so he's busy for the remainder of the month.
Why I am calling you ain't just due to the Legion current events, but the Nemesis as well. I need engines. Not the normal kind, I mean I need the blueprints for an already tested and built MOX and H-Fuel hybrid with dual intake. At least 37 to 40 tons of thrust, per regular A-type engine. I need you to contact Xei and tell her I need that, or the Nemesis won't have legs to walk. I've already spent all my contacts regarding that point. Most companies only do single line because they are 100 times more cheaper to make and only lose in thrust around 50%, and while hybrids have been around, they are just too costly to make and maintain. So basically its a waste of time to design, test and build in the eyes of most companies or industries.
Granted, I could design one. But I don't have the time for that or to test it. So, yeah. Time for Xei to get some feelers out and get me all the engine blueprints she can get. Oh and tell her to start thinking on guns. 'Cause if I know what guns she'll use, we can calculate the draw on the power core, fine tune it, and make it sail smoothly on steady, lazy waters.
I suppose I'll just skip straight to business and walk right past that dubious little issue. I'm aware of the Legion's.. professionalism at purging everything within the radius of the space around them, it's as much their downfall as it is their greatest strength.
Now when you bring up MOX and H-Fuel hybrids, the immediate thing that comes to me are those sickeningly red engines employed by the Sirius Coalition given their partners in Rheinland and general location on the map. Contacting them for an engine sample is about as good as trying to get a straight answer from the Officials of either of our respective Governments, it's just not going to happen. And I'm afraid I personally can't do much besides forward this to Xei and hope she's resourceful enough to move past our current short-comings as a Department.
I assume she'll get in touch with you herself once I tell her about this, we'll work from there. The next time you sleep with a Marshal aboard the ship, I'm having you tossed into the brig and then tried for war-crimes like every Legionnaire should be. I hope we're clear on the level of conduct I expect onboard.
Ready for that pickup at Beth. And I promise I'll behave this time. Khan called me in a panic yesterday shouting something about a bald guy and the Rev's port armor? Anywho, got some toys to speed this up and get out of your pretty hair. By the by, Xei said anything?
Very well, I can arrange to either be there personally for the pick-up or have some of my Marshals do so on my behalf. I can tell you that I haven't heard back from Xei about the engines yet, just that she said that she would put her feelers out and try to acquire some blue-prints, since then progress has been dead in the water and I haven't been informed about any break-throughs at least in relation to propulsion.
I almost can't believe that we've been coordination with a Commonwealth engineer aboard a Republic vessel for just about a year now. Perhaps that Commonwealth of yours should stop pretending that Vespucci is its own version of Liberty with blackjack and courtesans and be realists for once. Maybe that way, we might actually give the Gallic incursion a run for their money across the borders.
As for the bald man, I believe he's some sort of specialist, I'm not so sure about the port armour but now I'm concerned. Please excuse me while I go verify the hull integrity of my own ship.
It gets worse. Both the Legion and Harmony are aligning themselves. Soon you'll have something worse than Vespucci right next to Texas. And hey, Guadalajara ain't blackjack and ladies. It's good honest folk trying to live in peace. Hells, biggest export is leather for heavens sake.
And as for the Gauls, I think that hyper-gate of yours, it's a better choice. Between the Crayterians and the Legion bottle-necking Cortez and Magellan, there might be a chance for a play here. But I ain't no lord commander or director. I'll leave the tactics and strategies for the ones that order people to die in my charriots with my swords in hand.
I got some new solutions that will speed things up. I'll ping Xei meanwhile to see if she has anything though. And as for Baldezeru, made you look, eh. You owe me a beer.
