TERMINAL: You've gotten old.
KS: So I keep hearing. How have they been treating you? Well, I hope.
TERMINAL: As well as I could expect while quietly floating on years on standby.
KS: Yes, I am sorry to hear that they don't quite know what to do with you. Things aren't quite so dire anymore, so those that look at the fruits of our desperation can only just recoil in horror at the lengths we've gone.
TERMINAL: I'm sure they'll reinvent this wheel once we find ourselves under the next existential threat.
KS: Until then, you'll be the only working prototype as far as I know. Though, I'm not sure how many other organizations have tried exactly what we have.
TERMINAL: I hear our maintenance grants have begun to dry up.
KS: I've taken the liberty of pulling a few strings with the appropriations committee, and made some arrangements with a handful of patent licensing fees - there will be enough to reinstate you to active duty and to pay for periodic refit and maintenance for at least another few decades.
TERMINAL: Excellent. I was dreading the idea of spending my twilight years as a grotesque paperweight. To what do I owe this pleasure?
KS: I have reactivated myself to active service in an advisory role to the Buro, and I'll be needing a new base of operations - that is, if you'll have me.
TERMINAL: Of course. I think we both know there isn't much of a choice in this.
KS: I thought as much. I'll have the maintenance teams begin refits, there's some modernization to be done on your main engines and weapons systems. The head technician will upload the specs for you to peruse. We have just under a week to finish and make way to Thuringia for a major deployment. SESSION LOG - END
