Construction

[Wolfs Ghost]

Ivan pushed open the doors, sadly these where the only doors in the entire station that you actually had to...touch. The room inside was dark, the light outside cloaked his face with a black silhouette. Three people looked away from the screen, and towards Ivan.

"Captain! We where expecting you. Please, take a seat." The lead engineer said.

Ivan nodded and took a seat at the back of the room. "Please, continue as if I wasn't here." Ivan said leaning back in the chair, crossing his arms across his chest.

"Right, right, As I was saying. We'll need Basic alloys to start the construction. At least three thousand-five hundred units of it. Then about one thousand scrap metal just to create the internal walls and frame. Next we will need Ship hull panels, four thousand units will be sufficient."

"After these first step we can get to work on the internal power systems, couplets and decks. However that's sometime in the future. Uhm...Captain Fournier."

"It's just Ivan.."

"Right, right, Captain Ivan. Do you think your Gunboat and crew can bring around some of these supplies?" The Engineer said.

"I doubt I can. It'll be hard to move my Gunboat off the front lines. Not to mention running between here and the path is dangerous. I doubt my crew will ferry components around. We're not traders you know." Ivan said taking out his flask again, and taking another sip.

"Right...however. They are you're crew. So they would need to listen to you, unless you have a mutiny on you're hands, which I doubt you do, because you're here." he said trying not to make a fool out of himself.

Ivan nodded. "Well then, shall we get to work?" He said standing and taking about sip out of his flask. "I'll do my part, you handle yours."

The engineers nodded and went back to bickering with each other as Ivan left the room, and headed down to the shipyard view ports. Where he stared aimlessly into space, literally.
