For what it's worth, I've seen no reason to put anything but my full faith and support behind your methods and leadership. [High praise, but he's sincere in it.]
Precisely. It's difficult to imagine an event that could incapacitate the entire staff at once, but there's wisdom in being prepared for the worst.
There is, however, a catch to the proposal: the hospital would need to foot funds for the entire project. Materials, tools, labor, and the builder's commission on top would all need to be covered by Haven in full. [Which is why he hasn't made any promises yet.]
Thank you. I really appreciate that. I hope that is always how others feel about my time leading Haven. It's how I felt about those who led before me.
If we got taken to camp again, or the military fort, there would be no one here but the nurse system then.
Okay. Not great but possibly doable. Do we have an idea how much we're talking and what all that would include? Including future service calls if needed? A warranty is only so good as the person is still in the city but still.
There's never any harm in asking if you're uncertain. You don't strike me as the sort of man too proud to let his subordinates in on his thoughts and strategizing if it benefits us all.
I hadn't asked him - a man named Quentin Beck, by the by - yet, but I'll do so now, and also bring up the maintenance question. I'll get back to you shortly.

[Some twenty minutes later, Charles calls Kyle back.]
I've just spoken with Mr. Beck. After offering our modified proposal, he gave me his cost breakdown. [He goes on to explain the pricing in detail, which Quentin's player described as 'fairly reasonable'.]
What do you think? [It sounds sensible to Charles, but he won't pollute the decision-making with his own judgment when Kyle has far more experience with the hospital's finances.]
[ Kyle is glad that he's seen that way by others, especially someone that hasn't known him all that long. He never wants to be the sort of man who blocks out others, or treats them in an unfair way. This city does enough of that on its own, after all.
So when Charles sends over the information, he reads it over carefully, considering the way it would help with the hospital. Especially if something like the gang wars that cut them off from the Up and Down happened again. ]
I think it's really good idea and thank you for bringing this to Haven. I say go ahead with it and if you need me to sign anything, let me know.
[It's satisfying and settling to know that he's contributed something of worth to the hospital, beyond his usual rotations.
All that's left to do now is await the project's completion, and integrate the nursing robot into the entire staff's daily routines. That part will be a learning experience, he's sure.]
Of course - and you're quite welcome. Something like this can only help us all. [So it's worth it.]
If there's anything else that needs to be finalized, I'll message again.
[ It's moments like this that Kyle is certain of his place here. Not that he did anything but having that space for them all to come together to help one another. Not everyone would, but he wanted to do the most he could for those there now and the future of those LIERs brought in when they were long gone back to their worlds. ]
It sounds like something that will really help. Thank you, and thank Mr. Beck. Please.
