Aya looked at Kiku, before turning back to de Motti
"Indeed we would. I was thinking to make this a two stage project. Like Kiku already mentioned, without proper defenses, there won't be a base. So the first stage would be the reinforcement of the inner hull around the shrine sector and the outer hull around the station in its entirety.
We might need to use a stronger alloy or double wall them. However, the recent siege on Kinkaku-ji and the resulting scrapyard gave us alot of resources to use. We have started salvaging these materials for use on the the station. It at least gives us the materials to construct additional weapon platforms
Stage 2 will be the actual expanding of the base and the construction of the shipyard facilities."
She started writing stuff down on a piece of paper, making a diagram.
"Lets start with stage 1. The sisterhood can at least cover 50% of the costs using the free resources of the Tokugawa graveyard around the station. It has enough resources to construct the weapon platforms. To reinforce the inner and outer hull, we need a better understanding of the metallurgy, meaning that we are unsure what alloy or constructure would best improve its integrity.
Stage 2 would be more complicated, but I think the resources drifting around the station would help cut costs there aswell. Lets go with a favourable number of 20% and 10% at worst. meaning it would cut our material costs between 10% or 20%."
