"Doctor, we have been expecting you. If you are looking for Admiral Garibaldi,
he just left with a Selara D'amondra. However, the yard superintendant is on the USS
Night Raven, pier 4 North." the Deck Officer siad pointing to the berth directly above
them, where a beautiful Akira Class starship was being outfitted. Her new propulsion
systems were being sealed in to Engineering as they spoke.

Upon arrival to the Raven Hawk, she was greeted by security, who took her to the Yard
Boss- aka the Yard Superintendant- John Carroll. An odd looking civilian with an
unlit cigar in his mouth, barking instructions to crews running about the engineering
compartment like ants running from the foot of a kid as he stomps on them.
