LIBCENTCOM: Shadows and dust are not forgotten; Restoring the Harmony

[Arbs]

LIBCENTCOM - Jones' Office

"I see." Jones takes a quick brief look at the tablet, looking at the big missing chunk on the starboard side. "So this is the final report I suppose." Squinting a little he would take a throughout look a the long list, but what bothered him most were the multipliers before each commodity. Jones raises his head in a sort of a nodding motion. "You know, this is quite similar to what Overlords that received direct hits from the Valor's main gun during Royal Flush would look like.." He puts the tablet on the desk in front of Victoria. "That's quite a lot of material that might run a bit high.." Alan stands up restlessly is walking turns near his desk "Usually in these cases we'd be better off scrapping the damaged part of the ship and salvaging the rest of it. That'd mean it wouldn't be "the Harmony" anymore but just another industrial abomination." Alan stops and puts his immediately puts his hand on the desk looking at Knight straight in the eyes. "But if these coup-ers, saboteurs or whoever they are, think they can break us, break our honor, or our pride- hell even the pride of that ship- They are wrong. We will never surrender, no matter the cost."

After ranting Alan now sits back on his chair and sighs. "We'll repair the Harmony and we'll bring it back to it's former glory. Just as if it was commissioned yesterday." He then quickly leans to his side reaching for his case. He puts it on the table opening it and looking for something inside. "I'm sorry I don't have anything to treat you with for now but uh.. take these." He puts on the desk three packs of tea he'd brought from Bretonia and gently pushes them towards Knight. "Just some souvenirs from Bretonia."

Putting the case down and being slightly calmer now Alan continued. "So, I'll have one of the logistics executive officers go into details of the supplies we're in need of and I'd say your overlord should be up and running within the next week. I hope that is not too long." Jones now leans back on his chair as he slightly moves the topic of the meeting. "So moving on a bit from the logistics and more to the "High Command" aspect; I haven't had the chance to see how the investigations are progressing. Do you have any news on that? I don't plan on leaving whoever is responsible for this to simply walk away." Jones finishes this to be as supportive of Knight as possible. He had seen many before her who as a result of such losses had started showing atypical behavior over time that would've led to much larger problems in the future.
