Holy shit you're still alive. And they still let you near a Mech? Things in the merc trade must be more desperate than I thought.
Now that I'm done being amazed, yeah, I appreciate the tech specs. They track with the stuff we've been getting from LyrTechCom, and it's been good to have access to some independent confirmation, because I'll tell you, for that first year they had us looking into the design specs, if I wasn't getting corroborating information from someone who was unaffiliated with LTC, I'd have thought someone was blowing smoke up our asses about the Clans' technical capabilities. So thanks for that.
I talked my ops jockey into providing a couple of burner copies of our current technical training package. It's the course we provide our newly-assigned Techs in order to bring them up to speed on everything we currently understand about the hows and whys of ClanTech. Should take about a month to get through the course. For security's sake, there's a Level 6 burner virus embedded in the files, that will wipe the disks if any attempt to copy them is made, or once 40 days have passed since the course documentation is accessed, so once you drop them into a holoprojector, you're on a running clock. I wouldn't have been able to get these out to you, otherwise. Hope they help. I'm going to be busy for a good long bit here; Coventry wants me to start on specs for a large-bore autocannon with an increased fire rate, and I'm looking to be face-down in this project for probably a year or more to get the infrastructure to even make the infrastructure to make the weapon prototype up and running. So unless you're on-planet to give me a ring, don't expect to hear from me for a good bit.
And stop asking me about the goddamn beer. It was one fucking time I forgot my card. It's been a goddamn decade. Now you owe ME.
Good luck out there,
Felix Geschke

The accompanying package contains sufficient material to train two Techs in ClanTech, at the cost of 1 experience level (an elite Tech becomes a Veteran Tech), which may be purchased back with XP at a later date. The material cannot be copied or used in any way following its usage. Also, the package contains a 6-pack of bottles of Tiquimbi Private Reserve Ale. You can experience it IRL by buying a bottle of La Trappe Trappist Quadrupel Ale, should you choose.
