Subject: Retrofit Decisions
Having reviewed the status of the Normandy SR-2 retrofit as it stood at the Normandy's abrupt departure from Earth, I just have to ask, what brainless monkey did all this? If it was Mikhailovich just tell me, I promise I'll only maim him. I'm sure a stealth recon frigate would have no use for increased fuel reserves allowing it to travel further and remain active for longer. Totally useless in a situation where an enemy has destroyed fuel depots across much of the galaxy. I also noticed that you removed the tech lab and yet wasted a perfect room to replace it. I'm sure those boxes are of vital importance that they required blocking off the former armory so we could have a janitor's closet on the command deck. It's not like I run into scientists all the time who could be using a fully equipped lab to work on things while I transport them to the Citadel for transfer to that secret project that everyone openly talks about. I'm sure researching advancements to weapons and armour will be of no use to keeping allied forces alive while fighting the Reapers, after all, we can easily replace all our losses... oh, wait, no, that's the enemy.
