"I wish you good health, Civil Servant."

"Veil told me to prepare a design for a workshop on Nebel to handle research and development related to hyperspace technologies."

"Frankly, I'm a little worried. People live on Nebel. Lots of people. If something goes wrong..."

He sighs.

"But, as they say back home, if it has to be done, it has to be done. I've compiled a preliminary list of the materials we need for construction. You can find it in the attachments."

"The station is still expanding. If this workshop is needed urgently, we'll free up one of the storage spaces for it. If not, we'll fit a special annex for it as part of the regular expansion."

"Ashlander, out."

"Ashlander, not to worry about my health as I'm functioning optimally, your concerns are valid on the facilities. Thankfully this doesn't require layers of bureaucracy to report risks or perils, the anarchist council can move a motion into action faster than the coalition's endless circle of transferrable accountability.

"When it comes to FTL capabilities, if you've heard it once, you'll hear me say it a million more times; we can't let this technology fall solely in the hands of corporations. If I could afford a secure compartmentalized region of space to do this in, I would have it there instead... We just don't have that luxury in this war.

"Nor do I have the desire to watch Nebel go up in flames like Hamburg University. We're not chasing fame or profit, we're here to make sure this is implemented correctly and we fully understand the risks and facts of jump-space. If things get too dangerous for Nebel, we're sworn to attend an immediate hearing on the matter... It's mine and the DM's necks on the line, literally.

"We've got a few contacts that can source us the manufacturing equipment and rare materials, get in touch with the Order and the Lane Hackers for some of these as they've offered to help during the summit. They're relying on the first production prototype as much as we are, since it's part of our protocol obligations, this hyperspace facility is the consequence of us meeting such commitments.

"For the more extreme end of materials, we might have to set out some courier expeditions with the Damnatio Memoriae. I'll be on call for such needs."
