We have met before when I was a Captain for the 46th and you were a Commodore at the time. Glad to see you moving up as it is well deserved, and I hope you are well. After speaking with the Liberty Reserve Fleet Command and Fleet Admiral Kemp-Smith. We will be melting down the Monument Class Battleship Vermont and using what parts we can to give life to The Vermont Mk2, per say. The Sucess of the Akhetaten is no secret and with conflict on the rise from multiple fronts in my so humble opinion. We need new hardware in service to the Republic. I have chosen the Akhetaten Class Advance Battlecruiser to be my next command. I was hoping to get your help on the finer details so our Engineers on Norfolk get this right the first time and not having us back for any issues once deployed.
I know you are probably busy with Fleet Duties but an extra set of eyes particularly yours would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Rear Admiral Shepard,
I don't think introductions are necessary, as we served under Forty-Sixth for quite some time, a lot of which was spent with both of us in High Command. You decided to leave the Fleet at the rank of Rear Admiral. At that time, I was - and still am - a Vice Admiral and a member of Forty-Sixth's High Command. I have not, in fact, "moved up" the ranks since our last exchange.
In any case, I am certain that the decision to overhaul the Vermont from the ground up will prove to be a wise one. Much like the Akhetaten was, the Vermont I imagine to be a rather ancient ship with outdated equipment and specifications that leave much to be desired in today's battlefield.
I am afraid, however, that we cannot spare to send engineers and technicians over from the active garrison of the Akhetaten to Norfolk shipyard in order to help with the specifics of the overhaul. Do not forget, Rear Admiral, that we are in wartime and such a notion would greatly weaken the Akhetaten's effectiveness on the field, in turn weakening LIBNORTHCOM's formation. My suggestion towards you is to contact Juneau Shipyard and seek to begin the overhaul there. That is where the Akhetaten was refitted, after all, and the on-board engineering crew should have all the knowledge required in order to assist you with the completion of this endeavor.
I can perhaps dispatch one of the Akhetaten's more experienced commanding staff to oversee the construction of the new Vermont, alongside yourself of course, if you require this layer of reassurance.

Forgive my lapse of memory Vice Admiral, of course I remember that we worked together. There just has been so much on my mind lately I just tend to tunnel vision my work and get side tracked. I have been in contact with so many new people its hard to keep track of the good ones like yourself. I am in no way asking for your undivided attention in this project. I as you said, would like some reassurance that everything is moving according to plan. I will send you data with our progress so far and when ever you or or engineers have time to go over it I would greatly appreciate it. I am sorry about not remembering our past. hopefully you can forgive a lady who has been through a lot. Thanks again Vice Admiral
