Good evening Mr. Vertiga -

I'm glad t' see you made it safely. As per the norm, the mooring point has been closed off, and your crew only allowed within the confines of the hangerbay. I also was not aware that Dr. Thorn had a laboratory aboard the Apahanta - I'll have t' check in with her as well, and see where her knowledge could assist us.

As far as the offer for APM hardware, we would definitely be interested and would most assuredly find them useful. I'll have my men meet with your crew and take them off your hands shortly.

Now, as far as an estimate, sadly I can not provide one at this present time. Mainly due t' the fact that we would need t' review the logs you sent us, as well as get a first hand look at the Apahanta. T' completely work from the ground up will take a considerable amount of time, when working with unfamiliar systems such as those present on your vessel. If though you required a very rough estimate, I would venture t' design, construction, test, and implement a new cloaking device would run upwards of 500.000.000cr. That may turn out t' be lower, or possibly higher depending on what we find and what our project leads determine after gathering all information. I'm sorry I can't be more concrete than that. Hopefully your fiance understands.

Until my team has analyzed everything, I wish you safe skies.
