The Proteus Tome, you say? Well I knew the person who could retrieve something like that for us in moments... They passed out, sadly, and their methods were quite... Distructive.
In purpose of retrieval of this artifact, we have to assemble an ambush team. Most likely, from one to three Bombers and... One capital vessel, capable of doing some critical damage to "Geb"-class Carrier. Sounds like "Komainu", which Lightseeker was. I'll try to look into my old database and may the Spirits be pitty on me and give me luck to find the blueprints of it.
Project "Inquisitor" still does exists, but it's most easier to construct a Komainu, concerning it's simple design and structure. Something we could use your hand in, Marie. It is, of course, if it doesn't conflicts with the relations between National Council and Kusari Republic. And it will be more easier to implement our modernisations into a raw construction, literally into the blueprints.
Until then... I will be waiting for your further suggestions, brothers and sisters.
