Chapter 89 - A Long Journey[]
1 November 2787
Mackolla (Federated Suns)
Christopher Namath watched as FSS Chesterton, New Syrtis Class Aerospace Carrier was slowly moved out of his maintenance slip. They had completed the upgrade in five months instead of six months. Which was a good thing since two weeks ago FSS Starlight Raider, Congress D had arrived with some serious battle damage. But it was not totally alone, onboard were fifty engineers from Challenge Systems along with a cargo bay full of repair parts, armor and even weapons systems. The meeting with had gone fairly well as Christopher Namath let his mind wander some.

Congress D Class Frigate, FSS Starlight Raider
"I don't have enough armor to even start on her repairs, you guys are going to have to go somewhere else." He had told the ships commander
"We have you covered. We got pounded at the start and limped to safety and Naval Command said come here. Challenge Systems had a Mammoth meet me on the way loaded with spare parts, armor and even weapons systems plus about fifty of their engineers in case you needed help."
"Well, if you have everything, we need then we can handle you. Be two weeks before Chesterton is done." He said
"Christina Anderson, Challenge Systems. We spent a month doing a complete damage assessment and we think we have everything we need. We estimate repairs will take 3 months and I am authorized to pay you 240 million for the repairs plus you get to keep any parts left over by order of Naval Command. I would assume that is in case other ships are sent this way. I assume that price is fair?"
"Very fair. I will have Chesterton clear as soon as possible and we will get your damaged ship inside as soon as possible."
For the first year in operation this would put them at almost a billion in revenue just on two ship repairs. But with the help from the Challenge System folks, maybe he could start work on a second slip, it would be just a framework and sheeting but it would allow them to work on two ships at once. Nothing fancy at all but it would work for repairing battle damage.
On the surface, Gerald Mitchell was putting together the first Corporate Financial Report, but to appease the bean counters that had accompanied all the companies he was starting from the very beginning by using his handwritten notes to put it together so that they could turn it into something proper.
