If A.C. need it, I can route one of the Blue Midgets to the Forge. I have one in the area, with a crew that everyone possesses biomods, so they're in no serious danger of contamination from the spill. We'll also work on pushing forward the completion of some more of the second batch of Blue Midgets for the house moving. I'd also like to see if we can use some space in Stellvia's drydock to get some other Blue Midgets retrofit for the larger capacity. I'll send you a private email with details of what we're currently up against as to schedule for that. Our money's good for that, so don't worry about write offs on that side.

I won't ask what sort of cake you were baking with them, but Myk can certainly use it at least for a backup for the existing rig he has for the classes.

Just as long as we can get them clean, or clean them thoroughly on our end. I've looked up some of Kohran's projects. She scares me a little bit. Just a little. The waldoes I've been using are serviceable, but they were also rather well used when I got them and were practically scrap before Geo refurbished them for me.
