[Scene 3B]

It’s a hard decision that C. J. Orkney faces. You don't envy the choices available. If pressed, you'd lean towards getting Emeran government support, probably by sharing technical data with the Emeran military. While most people in the military are every bit as pompous and nowhere near as competent as Aiken - may Harper rest in peace - they always seem to get a generous budget. And getting some part of the Emeran government interested and invested in Blue Phoenix will probably be better for the general welfare of Emera anyway. 

And besides, the company needs the money desperately, and you can’t imagine Emera losing the space race to Tursa now. 

On the other hand, maybe we could still make it by standing firm: stay the course, do the work, and trust things will work out somehow.
