To: Unioner High command From: Arbeiter Travis Doyle Subject: Belayed Shipbuilding
Greetings. I have a little idea, based on some facts I think we all can agree with.
First, Bering is a warzone. I saw what is going on here, and I know that Pacifica shipyard is one of UN main shipbuilding object. Every day there is a risk of discovery by one of the Harmony ships, and believe me, breaking something is a simple stuff. What I will propose may save part of ship-building capabilities of Pacifica, and thats why.
Second, Bering not only a warzone, it was a warzone long before. All that Rheinland ships... They are useless in they current state. Hulls are there, and all major components is in place, but important bits are gone. No weapons, no life support, no shields, nothing was left after the vultures but sceleton and hides. But they are nice sceletons and hides, and with little work they may be returned to life, especially gunboats and light cruisers. I got my hands on couple of spare parts, and many of them can be used in those old dead ships, so replacements may not be big issue.
Third, all warships need repairs, and even Pacifica isn`t infinite, Sometimes there is more damaged ships it can serve, sometimes those ships sustained critical engine damage, there is thousand things that can go arwy.
And finally, one of minor repair rigs seems suitable for conversion.
What I propose is to outfit forementioned rig with engines and use it for tasks of:
- repairing damaged ships;
- salvaging whatever is too big to fit inside Behemoth;
- capturing and bringing back destroyed capital ships up to, but not limited to, cruiser;
And many others.
All it needs is some free hands for help and permission to use some components, mostly from transport ships. And some volunteers who familiar with workings of ships, utilized by Union. You can`t repair thing if you dont familiar with it. This tasks may pose severe risks to rig, but benefits may outweight all risks. Let me remind that best protection in such cases is a secrecy. And mobile repair rig is, well, mobile. Its not like Pacifica can escape in case of emergency.

It's not about hating the guy on the other side because someone told you to. I mean, you should hate someone because they're an asshole or a pervert or a snob, or they're lazy or arrogant or an idiot or a know-it-all. Those are reasons to dislike somebody. You don't hate a person because someone told you to; you have to despise people on a personal level." - Private Leonard L. Church
