George E. Rolf, CEO
LOCATION: Susquehanna Station, Cortez
SUBJECT: Design Mass Production

Mr. McKenzie, I completely understand the long game. Just this week, we've got a contract that'll likely take weeks to even source the materials for, and then the build itself.. well, that's how it goes. However, I do prefer to finish things quickly where possible, and revisit improvements to a future batch if there's still time remainin'.

If you're agreeable, we'll finish up the first two vessels, and then run them through a number of performance metrics. After my people go over this dataset (with your assistance, if you'd like), we'll know what changes should be made to best meet your specifications. The combined cost of this construction will total $1.7 million, but you can feel free to send the total amount to guarantee further work down the line. This will also be a good opportunity to test Susquehanna's pipeline against Red Rock, and deal with any fiddlin' inefficiencies.

Let me know if you have additional details for me, but otherwise go ahead and send over the amount, and we'll start the builds within a few days.

Rolf out.

First, farthest, fearless.
