They both saw the representatives enter the private lounge. They went to greet the guests, and as they reached them, they both bowed deeply.
”Welcome. It is a pleasure meeting you in person. I'm Valentina Rodriguez and this is my Chief of Engineering. Everyone calls him BP.”
”An honor meeting you.”
After the presentations, they all headed towards the sofas.

They were all seated.
Valentina noticed all the noise Ubukata's weapons did, but decided to leave it as it is.
”Ms. Tsuya, do not worry. I can totally understand your reasonings.” Then she cleared her voice. ”Before we begin, I wanted to inform you that if you require to order anything, the pads that you can find on the seats near the table are placed there for that purpose. It's all paid for, so do not worry about it.”She smiled to them, then turned to BP. ”Shall we?”
He was seated on the sofa, finding the files he required for his presentation. ”Right....”
Suddenly he got up,went to the conference table, took it, and hastly placed it on the coffee table.
”Very well. So I have prepared a small presentation of the project itself, so I can explain it to you from our prospective.”He then took his pad, and started searching for something; not too long after, a hologram of the Claymore's schematics appeared.”This is our testing bed. This ship was chosen by me and my team, because of its unique characteristics such as the integrated weapon and the already big powercore. Its relatively small size its a bonus, so to speak.”The hologram started to split. It was like the schematics divided themselves in designated pieces, each with a detailed explanation of the upgrade. He then took a big breath.”From the files I made for you, I tried to give out a detailed view of the project as a whole, while today I'm interested in going into all the details.”A few seconds of silence occurred, while BP was organizing the last schematics.”As you can well notice, I broke the vessel into multiple parts, where I'll try to explain why and how of each modification.”He then took the drink he ordered before, had a big sip out of it, and then left the pad on the table.
”Our main upgrade, obviously, would be the integrated weapon. While many would argue about this concept, of a static barrel, me and my team actually found to be more effective to construct our theoretical weapon, due to the fact that, as you can see, much of the weapon is found within the ship itself, therefore allowing us to construct a much more complex firing system that however would require a skilled pilot to actually aim it, however due to the size, it has quite some agility. As for the weapon itself, we'll circle back to it soon.” He took a small break from talking and the hologram suddenly changed. A hologram with the vital systems of the ship appeared.
”Powercore, engines, life support, sensors. Everything has to be brought up to speed. Most of the schematics found of the ship, use old and cheap vital systems. We do not have the 'luxury' to keep those; we need state of the art technology, since the weapon already is theoretical. I hope you are with me so far, and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to say them.”
