Opening Message.... Grand Admiral,
I'm grateful for the fast response regarding the previous report that was sent to the Overwatch, your response has been listened to and taken onboard.
As you should be aware by now the Olympius Bullhead-Battlecruiser, originally joined the Order primary fleet with technology from the Rheinland origin. This also includes the engine and a large amount of armaments. We understand that engineers and scientists onboard Fort Carthage have been preparing for us to arrive. I would like to inform you that the Olympius as well as both of my personal vessels have arrived successfully in one piece and awaiting further configurations before we can start making the physically changes.
Colonel Mark Webb, have currently taken over command of the currently known Olympius and will shortly have a discussion with yourself and the Overwatch regarding a new name for this vessel. You previously have said and I quote that.
"It has been a while since pushing your vessel into service with The Order. I was wary of you, and so are many of the Order officers for obvious reasons but you had worked hard towards proving that your past path is irreversibly closed to you. You had killed The Order's enemies, including Core ships for many months and thus earned my respect as a Captain. You are naturally free to take advantage of any still functional souvenirs as your personnal assets providing you can take care of its upkeep personally and are capable of running it combat-ready."
So with this in the open between Order Overwatch and the command, we'll need to have a short discussion on the new name for this vessel. But in the mean time, all Rheinland technology will be removed. Then from there Order technology will be mounted, configurated and mechanically tested to confirm that the compatability remains at 100%, especially after all the work the Ingeenus Research Group put into the ship itself.
Now quickly talking about my personal Marlin Very Heavy Fighter as well as the Stealhead Bomber which were in the cargo bays of the Olympius when the escape was made, there was very bad hull damage into both vessels, all repairs, maintainence and other important technical and mechanical changes and issues were being done onboard the Olympius, currently both vessels are missing weapon systems. Both of these vessels are at the state of being called old rust buckets, but with the help of the engineers working on the currently known Olympius, and the approval of the Overwatch I wish to request that both vessels also under go similar refit and changes also that will then later be used as personal vessels for myself.

The Refit
We have a time slot open, as well as the adequate place at Carthage's drydocks. You are ordered to return to Epsilon for scheduled refit.
I have talked with chief engineers of Carthage for most optimal weapon systems to be mounted aboard, with concerns about foreign powergrid and core. We are not exactly working with something fammilar to us but having already functional platform makes it easier to make amends to it. Olympius will be rechristened and issued the latest Order developments in gun design: namely our dedicated battlecruiser grade weaponry. Simulations ran indicate the following configuration will be not only stable to fit for battle.
O.C.V. SOLBEKT Bullhead-class [captured] 1x Mortar class long range artillery 3x M-3 "Apotheosis" turrets 1x heavy FLAK 8x J-8 "Indicator" turrets
We will furthermore attempt to revise vessels propulsion unit in order to standarize it with rest of The Order's flotilla to ease maintenance and cut down on eventual repair costs. Triple assembly of engines already in use aboard Resheph-class may be sufficient to move your battlecruiser's bulk at adequate speed, though may prove straining on the drives in the long run. Other option may involve one of our prototype thrusters, simmilar to our most recent modification to Osiris drive as seen aboard Geb assault carrier. It is however overpowered device and simulations are undergoing to see whether Bullhead's frame can take it.
You also should be aware of my policy on personnal fighter craft by now, Captain. So long you are capable of keeping this steel bucket of yours in fighting shape, it will be personnal posession and souvenir of yours that not even Overwatch can take away from you. Like my own 'Katana', I fully expect you will not strain Order's logistics with this ship and take care of it on your own accord. On more personnal note, I find it rather... inferior to other alternatives. However so long you keep scoring kills for The Order, it ain't my business.

Opening Message.... Grand Admiral,
I must thank you for the fast response on behalf of Carthage's drydocks. The Olympius has made it safetly to the drydocks awaiting for the all clear to begin the refit and the rebranding.
I understand you have spoke with the chief engineer on Carthage about the powergrid and core but I can inform you now, any form of weapon systems that is mounted onto the Bullhead-class should not be effected. Everything should be running at 100%, thanks to the Ingeenus Research Group when we made our originaly escape with the vessel. They implemented one of there own power cells as well as made everything working at a different speed to the original ship.
The crew onboard the Olympius must thank the crew that were ordered onto the ship to make sure nothing suspicious was going on, the crew that was placed onboard have helped the original crew with understanding, and learning in a fast, professional manner, making them more dangerous then they originally where. Not only do they understand the movement, strategy and tactic's of the enemy of the Order, but they now understand the order's motives and important information to be able to do there duty to the best of their ability.
Being issued with the latest Order technology is a privaledge within it self and you do not understand how grateful we onboard the Bullhead-class appreciate such welcome into the Order primary fleet. Not only the crew, myself where Core pilots and crew but we also bought one of their capital vessels to the Order, into Omicron Mu which was a very risky and highgly dangerous move within it self. But you and the Overwatch gave us the opportunity to prove ourself so we must thank you.
We understand that the Overwatch of the Order have discussed and came up with a new name for the Olympius, and the crew have discussed the name we have been offered. The O.C.V SOLBEKT is the name we have agreed on also, we accept this offer.
The crew have already started training with the new Order systems, all theory stuff is being done currently while the refit is under way. In the mean time, I will move to the Black Lance Osiris-class vessel and provide 2nd in Command support.
From my understand, the Reseph-class engines will not be suffice to uphold the power drive that will be required to move a foreign capital and prove it adequate speed to be effective. But from the best understanding the Osiris-class will be too large for the Bullhead-class due to it's sheer size, the other option I feel would work is the Geb-Class which would have more of a similar size, and power input and output that the Bullhead-class currently has. I believe from my own understanding as well as the engineers onboard the Geb-class engine will be the better option, even if it is required a few changes to make it effective, or even a prototype engine with recent modifications to fit.
Yes, I do understand the policy in place for personally fighter and bomber crafts of the Order origin or even foreign origin. The fact both of the vessels will be personal possession for myself, I do need to "stretch my leg's" you could say, having vessels that I grew up in, done training in and completed training, flying for a few years would be a better advantage then learning all the basic and intermiedate skills required to fight the Core pilots in newer technology of the Order. I think it would be better for myself and the Order to be using technology I feel capable and compenant in. But I can promise you now that myself and the crew of the SOLBKET will keep scoring kills for the Order.
