"So you would not need a full crew module , hm ? Well , we could probably squeeze you in with the rest of us as a bonus. That means you would have to use the same cantine and your Crews would probably end up in the rotating bunk system at the station. You see, except the offices like mine or the bureau of Mr. McKannon we have no seperate compartments for single crewmates. The crewmen sign in at the beginning of a 2 week shift and pick the first free bunk in a 6-man room. I could try to reserve a couple of the rooms for your men but I cannot guarantee privacy at all times. On the other hand, if you wish to rent and refurbish an office module for your purposes solely, you would have the equivalent of 1000 units cargo space to design as you wish. Offices, Sleeping quarters, training and equipment facilities ? No problem, all can be installed according to your wishes and would come with a feasable rent"
While talking he poured the coffe for Mr. Walker and brewed a Tea for himself. Then he joined his guest at the table and spread out a foiled layout plan of the Haven between the two of them.
"We would treat your Crewmen like all members of Haven Staff and they would have to have the same working shifts to avoid any unrest with my crews. 2 weeks work shift, one week free time. We are planning to construct a rest&recreation area down at Houston and will even work on settling some of the T&T members willing to found a family there. A whole little community with all logistical and social needs met. It is quite profitable in its own way and one or two of our Trustees are looking forward to opening shops and even shools and educational facilities there. But this is still for the future."
He saluted to his guest with an ironic wave
"I predict that Mr. Tukker is only waiting to get his hands on you. A steady inflow of refugees to be cared for with the chance of setteling then somewhere else to start a better life could be just the boost we need to get these projects started. And no, we do not talk about modern slavery here, we talk about getting education and care so that a new start is possible."
He concentrated back on the map foils :
"As for cargo space : we will work out the exact deal together with the representative of the Board of Trustees later on today. Im not the one to set figures, even though I run the Haven on a day-to-day basis. It probably depends on how much cargo space you want reserved, and if it is off limits for our short time needs or just organized along with the rest of the available space. Look, here... "
In the next half hour Fynn continued explaining the logistic needs of the scrapping rig, the short time cargo shortage combined with construction work on the Haven Memorial Clinic and the necessary rules and regulations he as the Foreman of the Base would insist on at any time. A lot of informations, and a concentrated buisness meeting.
"... as you see, cargo space is not realy cheap, and allotted along with the modular structure like all logistics here at the Haven. If you prefer to reserve it solely for the SRO , it will be more costly but still afordable. All costs are checked by me and priced according to the number of modules needed. So, you can buy or rent cargo space at the Haven in 1000 unit lots for as long or as short as you wish. We would expect to finance a part of our repair works and the supplies needed to sustain them from the rent, but not much more."
Fynn watched his guest closely, trying to judge the impression this all had left.
"So, Mr. Walker. I do not need any direct answer, even if I would greet feedback. Why not take a walk around the Haven and do some brainstorming while we wait for the Transporter to arrive and carry us down to the planetside site?"
