Jones reporting.

Just a quick one today. Keeping things quiet until the ink's actually dry. Hopefully you're right about that being soon, my people are getting restless.

We took inventory of our manufacturing equipment. It's pretty rough. Much of the machinery we evacuated is still functional, but it'll be some time before we can actually operate a shipyard without outside help.

In brighter news, personal arms production can begin as soon as a facility is ready; enough of that equipment is still functional that Aquila can get to work at roughly 60% of our old capacity within three weeks, and most of that is expected to be construction. With a prefab structure, we could have half of that started within a week. Some lost production will simply be a matter of returning to form; it has been a rough time and a lot of us are a bit rusty. Proper procedures aren't muscle memory anymore, we're gonna have to relearn it.

Also, Crow Team has got another freighter ready and waiting at a friendly base. The Coocoocache is a strange boat, but I like what I'm hearing about her.

My engineers also have an interesting design concept they're working on, based on the Silent Man, and blueprints and concepts of Fort Resolute and Headlong Flight. I'm not going into detail yet, too much is still changing about it, but it should prove to be a very interesting vessel for Aquila.
