Dr. ██████,
⠀⠀⠀ I was most pleased to receive your report, and apologize for my delay in responding. I clearly didn't make a mistake in hiring you. Four things:
⠀⠀⠀ One: concerning the accident.
⠀⠀⠀ I'm aware that you were along in the pursuit of ██████ only as a precaution against the worst case scenario, and, while that worst case scenario is sadly now our reality, I recognize that you are not to blame in any way for ██████'s death. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for your pilot, but you may rest easy.
⠀⠀⠀ Two: settlement.
⠀⠀⠀ 5 million GC is my final price. Expect a tenth when I see you next, and the other nine upon your completion of the job. Also bear in mind that your failure will have its consequences, both financially and otherwise.
⠀⠀⠀ Three: resources.
⠀⠀⠀ If the laboratory I've furnished you with is not sufficient - and I'm aware of that distinct possibility - please contact ██. █████████ ██████. She will attain any additional assets you require. I am also aware that you've put in a request to contact ████ █████ for help on whatever cybernetics ██████ may require. I will contact him, but cannot promise an affirmative response.
⠀⠀⠀ Four: concerning ████ ██████.
⠀⠀⠀ I need more information on the overall damage to her body. I was pleased to hear that you exercised caution, but remain fearful that it was futile. Kindly forward me an analysis of the damage, as well a projection of the project, including estimated time until completion.
⠀⠀⠀ Do remember that I'd rather you not botch this.
Good luck.
████ ███████
██., ████.
