Purpose

After learning that a negative report from the team psychiatrist has erased Nash's chance for a future in the Cluster Cities, Royce composed an official letter of commendation and recommendation to be included with the Armatus Project materials. Due to a filing error, copies were not received by Military Command or KMR&D until after the Symposium had concluded.

Document Structure

References

As per section 37, article 4 of the Korlune Military Charter:

Any Korlo officer over the rank of captain may put forth commendations and recommendations for staff under their command.

As per section 65, article 17 of the Korlune Military Research and Development Protocols:

Any Diasporan who earns the rank of MASTER-TECH, MASTER-MECH, or DOCTOR while in service is automatically eligible for placements within the private sector should a corporate sponsor wish to employ them.

Publication Status

This document was available to all corporate attendees of the 2606 Science Symposium in Thallen Cluster, and belatedly to Korlune Military Command and KMR&D.

Legal status

The Armatus Project was a joint venture between Korlune Military Command and KMR&D, Colonel Royce Malvyne used sections and articles from both to validate the inclusion of his letter with the Armatus Project Files. This was the first and only time that he used his military rank in an official capacity.

Letter To The Symposium

MEMORANDUM FOR SYMPOSIUM JUDICIARY COMMITTEE AND CORPORATE BIDDERS

SUBJECT: MASTER-TECH Nash X. Korpes, KMR&D-WDT-942.

The purpose of this memorandum is to commend Diasporan MASTER-TECH Nash X. Korpes and personally recommend him for corporate sponsorship and employment within the Cluster Cities.
As per section 37, article 4 of the Korlune Military Charter, any Korlo officer over the rank of captain may put forth commendations and recommendations for staff under their command.
As per section 65, article 17 of the Korlune Military Research and Development Protocols, “Any Diasporan who earns the rank of MASTER-TECH, MASTER-MECH, or DOCTOR while in service is automatically eligible for placements within the private sector should a corporate sponsor wish to employ them.

I have been MASTER-TECH Korpes’ comptroller for the past three years and personally attest to his professionalism in designing, constructing, and testing the Armatus Rig and Drone. Through his creative genius alone, Hard-Point Teleportation has gone from being a theoretical concept to reality. In my thirty-six years of service, I have been a Comptroller for military and KMR&D projects and worked with various Diasporan teams. Each individual was competent, but none have earned my respect the same way MASTER-TECH Korpes has. His peers confirm his exceptional qualities as an individual, a team leader, and a motivator.

Commendation: Silver Crescents of Valor

Outside of his many technical and scientific accomplishments regarding the Armatus Project, it should be noted his diligence and attention to detail saved the lives of myself and the entire team at the beginning of the assignment.

Velasco Station had been vacant for several decades before it was reactivated for our use, and levels below the third floor were in a state of disrepair. Each of the gantries, staircases, and lifts had to be inspected by MASTER-TECH Korpes and repaired by his counterpart MASTER-MECH Davis Trent before they could be cleared as safe for use. When MASTER-TECH Korpes’ examined the air recycling system, he discovered a mold colony had compromised it. He immediately informed me and asked for permission to shut the system down. His quick action prevented the spores from spreading into the habitation areas and causing a toxic bloom. Bio-hazard crews were deployed, and after two weeks, Velasco Station was given the all-clear. Command informed me that replacing the old equipment would take a year to install and activate, effectively ending the project. MASTER-TECH Korpes’ suggestion to source replacement parts from the nearby Diaspora and have support teams, as well as MASTER-MECH Davis, assist in refurbishing the existing machinery, was not only financially sound but cut our down-time to only two months. His ingenuity kept the Armatus Project a viable competitor for this year’s Symposium and is the only reason you’re viewing the technology today.

I recommend that MASTER-TECH Nash X. Korpes’ services be optioned along with the Armatus Rig and Drone as he would be an asset to any corporate research and development team interested in developing this technology further. I offer myself as a character reference for this Diasporan, and if you have any requests or questions regarding my statements, do not hesitate to contact me.

Best,

The Silver Crescents of Valor medal was awarded to Nash six months after he joined Harlo-Fyre's R&D team. The ceremony was held at Ethos Station, but he didn't attend. Royce served as his proxy at the function and delivered it in person the following week.

Historical Details

---

To fully understand the history Nash has with KMR&D, the military, and what's behind his desire to work in the Cluster Cities, I recommend you read The Korpes File.

---

Legacy

---

Harlo-Fyre was (and still is) the largest corporate sponsor of the military and when the CEO, William Harlo, requested Nash be transferred to Thallen Cluster, KMR&D had no recourse but to acquiesce. Harlo-Fyre, acquired both Nash and Master-Mech Davis Trent along with the Armatus Project patents directly after the Symposium.

KMR&D's Special Projects Division is still interested in Nash, and are waiting for their opportunity to reclaim him.
