We'll take your ideas under advisement. I understand you were struck by _lightning_ while enroute to Muir?

Damn. I thought I had got most of the internals cut over to optical systems. Helps in case the gentlemen in red-and-grey with the helmet decides to use the Blackbird as a lawn dart again.

As for the rest - give us a few days to examine your proposals and we'll get back to you.

Salaam,
Haroun
