Lorin kept his voice steady and didn't fall into Sharez's bait, "If
another world can offer a location with better resources then why
should they not be considered? Of course current locations will be
considered.� This is all about making R&D more efficient and beneficial
for all. I am sure we can come to a compromise on this situation."
T'Sar raised a hand with a stella in it to draw attention to herself.
"Admiral, it seems that you have the best interests of Federation
security at heart.� 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."
Brak was not quite as thrilled by the statistics presented by Admiral
Renaud. It was not so much that they were not impressive. He just had
questions as to the accuracy of the presentation. He had a feeling
that they were a bit exaggerated. He said nothing about it at the time
since the answer to Sharez's question could provide him with some
helpful information.
