What requirements would the desired facility have?" Lorin nodded. Hopefully he scored a point with T'Sar. >"My requirements will be project-specific. I request more funding for the >combined project than the two have individually now. This will allow for >more general resources and more personnel and- I believe- more progress." >T'Sar continued her line of questions. "Perhaps you could provide us with >some information about the two projects you are hoping to merge and tell us >how this would improve the work of those involved." Lorin stood, "If I may refer you to your desk terminals please." He hit a button on his PADD and up came a 3 graphs. The two side-by-side on the top showed the lack of progress and wasted funds from the previous state of R&D. It was significant and should distress anyone. Then he brought up the third graph of expected results and there was no disputing the intended results with the current data. It was a dramatic increase in results and savings in revenue-both well over 150% of current standards. Sharez looked down at his console and was impressed. If the data
proved true the results of this merger would prove to be quite beneficial.
Where the funding for the budget increases proposed in the plan would come from
would be the biggest challenge. "This information is quite
impressive. Perhaps, you could bring us up to speed about the current
status of these two projects."
