Crossing his arms Theobald looked over the main console without seeing much. A small part of his mind registered the success. "Hmm, I am not quiet sure, Ian," he said thoughtfully, "depends what is most easily available here, I guess." He turned and began to walk around a bit. "Bretonia and Rheinland are nearby, both have access to capital sized ships with engines you could use, I guess. The civilian market is always present, of course, and on Freeports one can get the engine versions Freelancers often use, the Border World Engines." He switched to an analytical mode, mumbling about advantages and disadvantages of certain series. Suddenly he stopped and looked again to Ian. "I personally prefer the HN-Series, since they do not need a lot of maintenance. I have one of these Long Range Engines build in my Arrow Interceptor, The-o-Bolt." He grinned with youthful smirkness, "The ship's been a gift from my father when I grew up. But I had the engines replaced to the current HN-Series, which were something more fancy at this time and rather hard to come by." He sighed and continued: "But I think they won't do with this ship and they still aren't so easy to find here. No, I think we should go with either the Bretonian or the Rheinland models. Both are reliable although completly different engines. Both would do their job well, I guess. However if one would just go for looks, the Rheinlandic engines would fit better and would be a sight rarely seen with a Renzu Liner. Especially since Kusari and Rheinland are not too well spoken for each other," he chuckled and added more thoughtfully: "Yes, I think that would fit well and create a unique picture. And Orbital is all for looks. No matter whats beneath the hull, the cover is what matters for most people and Orbital has to uphold that. Otherwise we wouldn't be as successfull. What do you think about using a Rheinlandic VP MOX Intermix Chamber, Ian?"
And he fully turned his attention back to the Junker Commandant.
