With the plans that Nico brought him the next morning, on behalf of Uncle Lu, Max now knew that he would need nearly two thousand staff to keep everything running with full uptime, after accounting for standard absences, vacation days, and such.

Unlike the soldiers, who lived on call, the staff for the factory bay and the Cruise Ship area would be working 5-day weeks, shift work, because a cruise ship never really slept.

Nico would take care of the recruitment from the Moon Base, and send the data back to Max, while he took a team to deal with the much larger group down on the surface.

Many had already sent their credentials, hoping for a headstart on the hiring, but there were at least five thousand people waiting for him when he arrived.
