"It's...Possible to get it done in five to six months, however the shifts would be extremely long and I will have no idea how reliable the Docking Ring will be once we bring it online and start running it through it's paces, I'll need most of my crews to pull double shifts and put a hold on holidays until it is ready...But that's the best I can give you, Ageria could likely build it in less time however that's not an option...What would be helpful is if we can study the Docking Ring the Colonial Republic is in possession of in Coronado at Yuma...It would help give us an idea on developing our own.".
Meier rubbed his chin a bit in thought as he sat up straight infront of his desk, bringing up a Neural-Net Holo Screen he flipped through some files.
"Chairman, finding willing and capable workers is never a problem ,but i do not want your men thinking we're outsourcing this work to non-VI Personell. So i tell you this. Let your men know, that anyone who volunteers for 2 or more days of doubleshifts a week gets 50% more Social Credit on their Checks for the duration of the project. Im sure men will sign up like no ones business.."
Meier then relaxed a little , flipping through another file on the Neural-Net.
"As for the Colonials, i'll see what i can arrange."
