Project: Akhetaten - Phase One

[DarkTails]

"Your crew are the ones with the most first hand knowledge of operations of the Akhetaten, and as such can be considered the most knowledgeable of the vessel and it's inner workings. The project itself falls under Research and Development, which puts the project under my direct supervision. I'll be bringing in other R&D agents to assist with this endeavor, but very soon new orders will be issued. Since the project falls under R&D, you're being moved under the R&D jurisdiction alongside your crew. I believe their input will be invaluable during the construction process to make an efficient and functional Akhetaten-class prototype. If all goes well, we may be able to produce more. This conversation and project falls under a sealed orders and is classified top secret, which you and your crew will receive authorization for, as approved by the Admiralty."

Miles then leaned up in his chair. "This project is the largest undertaking R&D has made so far, and the biggest non-combat project of the Fleet. The secrecy of what we're doing is paramount, no one outside of the authorized chain of command is to know of the project. If anyone asks questions regarding this project, refer them to Nicole and she'll deal with it as fit. Make sure your crew understands this aswell. Upon project completion, you and your crew will demonstrate the new vessel to the Admiralty, a typical shakedown cruise before we authorize full return to duty. Nicole, you can handle the rest. I expect the first weekly report on my desk, Monday morning. Good day, Captain." Miles stood up, departing the room.

"My brother can be a bit stoic, he's not fully convinced, but the rest of the Admiralty is, and I have the best agents to assist with this endeavor."
