Stardate 26.0

Civil unrest at its worst in Altair and the other uppity colonies. Parliament has just called in an extraordinary Security Council sessions to adress the unrest and colonial grieviances.

At the Bureau, though, it is the Annual Log Review! Your first, hopefully, one of dozens.

The Bureau was given a greater budget allocation from the Parliament; apparently Treasurer Surar personally saw to it. The Parliament's budget for Bureau was raised to 120 million Credits.

This gives a very nicely looking projection for start of Stardate 27.0 and the next Review.

Reviewing the financial logs, however, you easily spot some of the expenses that could be avoided. Specifically, some of the maintenance expenses for the shipyard your designs are constructed at could easily fulfill all quota and safety requirements with as much as 2 M.Credits less.

A) Skipping off on expenses here and there will lead to a disaster in the future. We must not!
B) Every penny is important - and 2 million Credits ain't a small penny either!

B - Gotta squeeze as much as we're can out to win this Arms Race War. Which war? Dunno yet, but we can't risk losing.

Changed vote to A. We have plenty of money anyways.

A. It's not enough to be worth cutting back on safety costs, and if we have accidents shortly after cutting back immediately after a raise, we're going to have major rep problems.

A penny saved is a penny earned.

Vote changed, posted again.

trimming to the bone is not necessarily a good idea. The amount is fairly trivial, so lets just leave some slack in the system... it may not even be as unnecessary as we thought

Sure, trim the dockyard expenses, but make sure to save the difference in our special personal retirement rainy day slush fund to help out with future, erm, projects.

There’s a reason we spend money on maintenance
