Frederick Von Kleinz gathered himself before entering the briefing room flanked by a single man holding a rather large steel briefcase as well as a digital readout. Von Kleinz stepped forward and took a slight pause before he addressed the room.
"Gentlemen of the IMG, and Frau Shoemaker I presume? I apologize for my delay arriving. As I was busy personally inspecting the Smyrna along with my chief engineer, Daniel Koehler, he will be available to answer any question you might have over the inspection. As well, his tablet currently has a direct feed to the technicians and engineers working over the Smyrna's remains."
Motioning towards the engineer, Frederick paused waiting for the heavy case to be placed on the conference table. Carefully unlocking the hatches he continued, "Now the reports are still preliminary, but there has been a few... interesting pieces recovered from the Smyrna some of which are contained in this case."
Pulling out an intact slab of steel, anyone familiar with ship construction would have immediately identified it as a ship hull panel. "Now as I'm sure some of you know, this is a ship hull panel and was recovered from the Smyrna. Now here comes the interesting part." Carefully flipping the panel around a bright orange and green ALG stamp was in the interior corner with the subtext 'Wuppertal Refinery' and a serial code bar. "While this piece right here does not prove the vessel was formerly in ALG's hands. It does prove that the vessel was either constructed, or repaired, in a Rheinland shipyard fairly recently. At least recently for a space craft." Carefully placing the hull panel back into the container he continued, "So Frau Shoemaker, what do you make of that? Or would you rather I continue with the preliminary report?"
