Mister Giraud, glad to hear from you. I appreciate the understanding.

To answer your questions...

The vessel has been allocated a single bay designed for ships of its classification, though the makeup of the bay may be a little 'different' than what you're familiar with. The owners utilize a lot of advanced metalworking which is extremely rare to the more central regions of Sirius. We're being housed by friends from Gammu, deep in the Omicrons.

The reconstruction of this asset isn't intended to be a full one-to-one historic recreation. Paints, and external structure discoloration are all a part of the process, and once my report is opened up to your team the full scale of what you've got to work with - on top of whatever analysis you deem necessary when you arrive - will be brought to light. ideally the goal is to bring the ship up to modern specifications and press it into service, but I can show you the overview when we meet.

The focus on the 'dry systems' for you is in light of the other aspect of this project, involving sensitive materials and other items related to the Technocracy's own designs. The makeup of the Ionstream propulsion system, and its power source for example. These are closely kept secrets for a number of reasons, and to avoid any misconceptions we can discuss the exact nature of the 'wet systems' I intend to employ here. The craft itself retains a functional centrifuge, but the conduit system has degraded and limited its output significantly. The destruction of the vessel's primary propulsion drive was indeed an unfortunate setback, but it paved way to modernizing Joyeuse's eccentric design. I intended to take the bare bones frame and develop a system I could adapt to it,

Though if you wish to be more involved, we can discuss a better approach together.

That said, allow me to defer you to a rendezvous point. Omicron Delta, the Freeport. A shuttle will await your team there to ferry you past the mines.
