Good evening, Commodore Chiavallati.
Apologies for the delayed reply, the Essex was undergoing minor repairs after a recent Rogue encounter within California. We'll make our way towards Pueblo Station as soon as the main reactor reached its operational capacity again, which should be finished within the next six. We're fully stocked on fighter crafts and bombers, with the next routine inspection scheduled in the next four to six weeks.
With priority clearance our ETA should be less than four hours after departure. My officers are being briefed this very moment to keep downtime to a minimum. A last suggestion though, perhaps it would secure our position in Colorado to have a small contingent of 'Mender'-class repair ships on standby to take care of minor damage, so that especially heavier assets don't have to be taken off the board in the case of a small strikeforce managing to break through and damage the vessels.
