Of course. To begin engineering, we will need a design. Simply improvising as we proceed will imperil the end effectiveness of the design.

Whilst we can perform the physical construction and resolve many of the technical and structural challenges, the timescale involved gives us little time to adjust to Libertonian engineering convention. We therefore suggest that external organisations are given design input, if minimal and isolated in role. The Harmony’s survival, due to the the necessity of its speed, will be less dependent on the vessel’s artillery than its sensor grid. This is a department wherein the input of the Hackers will be objectively superior to our own, and we advise that you attempt to secure a fourth generation spyglass suite from them.

Equally, we have working ties with the Order - to obvious common goals. We view communication between yourself and the Order to be considerably delayed. They have the technical blueprints for all manner of Libertonian large assets - technical diagrams that would assist us in increasing the efficacy of our retrofit. The more proprietary information we possess, the faster we can work, the more effective the Harmony will be post redesign.

Obviously, we have no intentions to share any technical or strategic data on either the vessel or the battlegroup with anyone untoward. If measures of this kind are to be taken, they will occur only according to your edict.

Regards,
Armin Jansen.
