Theobald looked at Ian and said nothing, but enjoyed his second whiskey for some time. "Mollys crafting whiskey, that I can believe," he said, "but Rogues? Hmm, I don't know, but you never know what’s happening out there. So anything is possible." He sipped again and looked into the glass. "Hmm, only material costs and at a discount price. I think at some points it will be nearly impossible to beat the average Sirian Market. The ship is Renzu and they are very expensive with their parts, but I think you have your sources," he was talking more to himself, mumbling his thoughts, "personal costs at this point would go through the roof being much more than sixty percent, outstripping the material costs by far..." He continued to mumble, starting to calculate. Minutes passed while he turned some thoughts over. The suddenly he fixed Ian with his eyes and smiled. "Consider yourself as hired, Commandant Ian Howler from the Junker Congress, as well as every man and woman you need to repair the Orbital Spa and Cruise Liner Reverie, under the conditions you just mentioned. Bring her back to functionality as expected from a ship from the Renzu Corporation. Interior design like cabin furnishing and such should not be your concern at the moment. This will be done after you are finished, or, if you are willing, we can negotiate this at a later point." Theobald scratched his head and suddenly looked for a moment a bit embarrassed, but he passed it over quickly, returning to the same joyful expression he had a second ago. "However there is another point I wanted to discuss, and you are free to charge extra for it." He opened a file on his datapad and handed it over to Ian: "First: I received from Captain Cross a very generous gift: a complete module to upgrade Reverie's Hull with Capital Armor Mark VI. And second: I want to change the offensive point of the ship. She is now equipped with a full set of CT-402 Charon Turrets. They didn't help much against snubs of course. So I want to change them. I thought about a pair of BLH-5s, the EMP turrets, and the rest should be CT-403s, Iron Hammers. If you are already working on the ship, it would save time to do this overhaul together with the repairs." He took a large gulp of the whiskey. "Figured I should let you know I wanted this done too, before you agree to do anything at all."
