HPS was doing a brisk business. While the company finances weren’t amazing you at least had a modest store of each of the three regional currencies. The credit payout from your latest Janus order combined with your income from both your sister and the Imperial licensing deal had allowed you to pay off your debts quickly before they could compound. There was even some good news from your sister; Shima’s industrial structure had improved so she was now able to give you an even better return on your investment.

>House Stipend now provides 4kT CM and 2kT RM per TP.
Currently your workforce was in an awkward position. You didn’t quite have enough human work crews to man both capital drydocks at the same time. In order to take on two capital ship orders one would have to be a mixed blorg/human team, which could cause issues. The militia contract scandal and your subsequent fulfilment of said contract had granted you a lot of clout with the Car’Cass authorities. If you asked you’d be able to get a third blorg work crew <span class="mu-s">for free</span>. It wouldn’t be ideal but at least it would give you a neat split.
Human labourers were getting harder to find. Within the Raihan Empire, all the manpower was being taken up by the war effort and it seemed most of the talent within Car’Cass was spoken for. If you wanted another human crew you’d have to spend more money to lure people in from nearby independent systems.
There was another option though; with your recent advances in fabrication tech you could upgrade the dry docks to become more efficient. The cost would be exorbitant, and it would take up the time of your R&D department, but it was a sound long term investment.
>Hire a Blorg Crew for free
>Spend up to 12 Mil Solar Credits looking for another human work crew. (Spend 4 Mil Credits every TP with a 50% chance of successful hiring. Early success will stop the spending.)
>See if you can get your brother to help in exchange for more loving. (Oh gawd WHY!?)
>Upgrade your drydocks. Will cost 60kt of RM and 120 RP. Upon completion each drydock will function with only 2 work crews.
>Do nothing, you can find a way to make the current setup work.
