Elowen nodded in agreement.
Cassian seemed satisfied with the arrangement. "The family will purchase the Tier III ecological support blueprint package under a restricted agreement."
Aurelian blinked. "That quickly?"
"The family has been trying to improve its ecological ship program for many years," Cassian explained. "The systems you recovered may not match our standards directly, but even an incomplete parallel design can save years of research and development."
One of the family engineers nodded before adding, "If the design language is based on old Vhaloric systems rather than Alliance standards, integration will take time. Three to six months before we can safely produce anything, and likely even longer before large-scale output becomes practical."
Meridian gave a small nod. "That estimate sounds realistic. Rush the process, and you will end up producing expensive coffins with gardening equipment attached."
The engineer stared at her in silence.
