My name is Theobald Franklin, Captain of the Orbital Spa and Cruise Liner Reverie, a fine Shukensha Class Liner, manufactured by your company a few years ago. She performed her duties admirably and without any fault, as one can expect from any ship leaving your shipyard in Shikoku.
I contact you today not because of any failures of the ship itself, but because of an incident which happened a short time ago within the Omega Systems. Reverie has been attacked by a Junker Fighter and was nearly destroyed. The damage she sustained was extremely heavy and we had to evacuate the ship. Zoners salvaged the wreck and towed her back to Freeport 1, where she is currently moored and looked at for repairs.
Among many other systems, one of the worst hit areas are the engines. They are unsalvageable and need to be replaced completely. Of course the company is eager to get the ship running again as soon as possible. Every day she is not in service means a great loss of money, adding to the already horrendous costs of the repairs.
What is Renzu Corporation able to offer to replace Reverie’s engines, in terms of costs and time?
pending investigation over at Renzu, main communications are running through headquarters. My name is Julia Adams and I will be your contact for this.
As all Renzu ship owners are treated to the highest standard you'll have a direct line of contact to me.
It is regretful that your ship suffered an accident in one of the major trade lanes and we will send an investigation team out to Omega 3 and Core ships are set to alert.
As to your description it sounds like the ship should not be moved and held in position. Which means we will have to bring part of our engineering team over.
In addition we'll have engine parts shipped from Renzu and security teams deployed.
All in all, as a rough estimate it should be about 100 million for material and shipping and 200 million credits for security, assembly and accomodation for our engineering team. Luckily we have an installation in the area that allows us to offer these competitive prices.
I thank you for your fast response and the offer to replace Reverie's engines.
After discussion with the Chairman of the Board of Directors, I, unfortunatly, have to reject your proposition.
I do understand the costs involved with such a project and that besides the material costs, wages must be paid and certain security measures are necessary. However OS&C is not willing to invest that much money solely into the repairs of the engines of one ship. Thus your offer is declined.
