Quest stages

Walter Stroud wants me to help his R&D team with their next shipbuilding project. Development has stalled, and he believes I can get it back on track.
Objective: Go to Stroud-Eklund Staryard
I need to speak with the project lead, Jules and find out what I can do to help get this project back on track.
Objective: Speak with Jules
I think I may be able to get into the Stroud-Eklund corporate systems and approve a higher budget. That way, we can build whatever we want without worrying about the cost.
Objective: (Optional) Increase the budget
Jules will only agree to go with the highest budget proposal for this ship if I contribute a large amount of money out of my own pocket.
Objective: Pay to increase the budget
Jules has asked me to meet the rest of the team and give them feedback on their ship design proposals.
Objective: (Optional) Give feedback on the team's proposals
Now that we've solved the budget issues for this project, Jules would like me to help gather some market research data. I should speak with her to find out what that entails.
Objective: Speak with Jules about market research
Jules asked me to fly missions from the mission board. The data I collect will be used to make design decisions. Collecting more data will allow them to build a ship to handle a variety of situations.
I've collected the market research data. Now, I need to speak with Jules about the issues preventing her team from working well with one another.
Objective: Speak with Jules
The team seems more willing to work with one another now, so all that's left is talking to Jules about the final ship design.
Objective: Speak with Jules
Production on Stroud-Eklund's latest ship is back on track. I should report to Walter and let him know.
Objective: Speak with Walter Stroud
I helped the Stroud-Eklund R&D team get their project back on track and we managed to finish the design for their new ship.
