Bombshell Genius

ATTN: Jessica Med-Beq
I know that you're flying around the galaxy in your own pursuit of glory, of intellectual stimulation and of novelties, and that you have cranked out a few products for us to sell, but we have run out of money to develop more products, be it starships, components or whatnot. But please, if you want to continue developing products you should come to the quarterly board meeting alongside the rest of the C-suite. You are the one best placed to press the case for more funding because you are in the thick of it in a daily basis.

Jessica read the message sent by her boss. She knew that, with the R&D budget running out, she was going to be angry. With the quarterly board meeting coming soon, she was nervous: she knew that Ringovinda StarYards' future depended on cranking out new products and additional components to match. She appreciated the technological freedom Charzon gave her, but even that ended up costing a pretty penny to actually make use of. And, even if the components were sold internally for a significant chunk, the main freight companies that sought to refit weapons, especially Maersk Star Freight and Bluth Company. This time around, Jessica totes her lover around as some observer without voting rights: maybe Summer was good enough with mind tricks to use them without having to say anything. Or so Jessica hoped for - if it actually came to that. As they are about to leave Druckenwell...
"I know, Summer, you're pleasant to have around me, but I have to go back to Ringo Vinda for business reasons. My boss complains about one thing: we exhausted our R&D budget a little prematurely and the current vision is that for each new large ship we develop, new components must be released and introduced on it. You know, I could make every credit Charzon asks for count"
But, if Summer had the technical ability of even Marcia, or the vision of Charzon, it would no longer be simply a Design Triumvirate, but a Design Tetrarchy. Summer knew that Jessica was highly talented technically, and she had the brains to out-think a lot of problems. Jessica had developed some sort of God complex since the day she realized she could pull out an AI (Hammurabi, but that's because of bureaucratic problems if it hasn't been released yet, not through any fault of her own) out of thin air back on Tatooine, and almost all by herself. She knows Summer is supportive of her almost to a fault, but that's probably because Summer was her lover to begin with.
