[12.11.2023 10:43:57] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: I'm quite sure it will, my friend.

[12.11.2023 10:44:08] ALG-R&D-3: We'll do what we can. Well, the Cirrus team anyway. I'm just here for security.

[12.11.2023 10:44:37] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Ahh, there we are... quite the specimen.

[12.11.2023 10:44:44] (\^/)Phaenon: As old as they come

[12.11.2023 10:44:49] ALG-R&D-3: Oh, shi- I mean. Oh, goodness.

[12.11.2023 10:44:57] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: [Giraud chuckles.]

[12.11.2023 10:45:10] (\^/)Vega: James: ALG vessels, finally!

[12.11.2023 10:45:19] ALG-R&D-3: You weren't kidding, this thing really is ancient, hum?

[12.11.2023 10:45:19] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Right. Before we get started, shall we all introduce ourselves? Ease of communication and all.

[12.11.2023 10:45:30] (\^/)Vega: James: You're about right time, the reactor seems to be in critical shape.

[12.11.2023 10:45:46] ALG-R&D-3: Kimberley Fenton. R&D spec ops weapons testing.

[12.11.2023 10:45:54] (\^/)Vega: James: Indeed, this ship is like... 200 years old?

[12.11.2023 10:46:04] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Simon Giraud, Director of R&D.

[12.11.2023 10:46:39] (\^/)Phaenon: Jerard Voncloud. Pygar Administrator

[12.11.2023 10:46:43] (\^/)Vega: James: Nice to meet you, my name is James Anderson, captain on this cra... Vessel.

[12.11.2023 10:46:49] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Or, rather, the spacecraft engineering department of such.

[12.11.2023 10:47:00] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: The pleasure is mine. Now, let's take a look at this reactor.

[12.11.2023 10:47:02] ALG-R&D-3: Okay, so first things first. How close is that reactor to catastrophic meltdown?

[12.11.2023 10:47:22] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Yes, any readings you have to inform our initial assessment would be most helpful.

[12.11.2023 10:47:49] (\^/)Vega: James: The problem is the reactor wasn't really fully reviewed after its destend from Rheinland shipyard.

[12.11.2023 10:48:37] (\^/)Vega: James: GMG nor we are serviced it, as we were quite satisfied before the engine / reactor was hit by the aliens.

[12.11.2023 10:48:46] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Hmm. So, remind me, just how long has this vessel been in open space? Essentially since the 80 Years War?

[12.11.2023 10:48:58] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Other then Essential systems everything else is running on low power or just disabled

[12.11.2023 10:49:16] ALG-R&D-3: There's no way to tow this thing to Wichter, is there? It'd make things a lot easier, but that is a serious journey.

[12.11.2023 10:49:46] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: I dont think we could even jump it..im not sure it could handle the structural stress

[12.11.2023 10:49:50] (\^/)Vega: James: I cannot tell you from perspective of GMG, but I think it was operational about 50 years as GMG asset before it was lost

[12.11.2023 10:50:01] (\^/)Vega: in deep Omicrons region.

[12.11.2023 10:50:14] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Alright, so we've got about a century and a half's worth of decay on our hands.

[12.11.2023 10:50:55] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: For a 600s-era battleship, that's... hmm. [Giraud pulls up a datapad, doing some quick concept sketches.]

[12.11.2023 10:51:01] (\^/)Vega: James: as we managed to put this thing together - i think its operational under Phoenix banner for 10 years.

[12.11.2023 10:51:03] ALG-R&D-3: How's life support? I mean, the bridge obviously has it. What about the rest of the ship?

[12.11.2023 10:51:52] (\^/)Vega: James; Your data should be accurate to the power system, it wasn't changed greatly.

[12.11.2023 10:52:15] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Life support is accross the ship, but not without fluctuations

[12.11.2023 10:52:40] ALG-R&D-3: So, is it the sort of situation where you erm...."don't open this door or we'll all be vented"?

[12.11.2023 10:52:41] (\^/)Vega: James: Although several decks are sealed after recent meeting with the Nomads.

[12.11.2023 10:52:51] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Exactly

[12.11.2023 10:52:57] (\^/)Vega: James: Indeed.

[12.11.2023 10:53:11] ALG-R&D-3: Hum, hum. I'm certainly glad I don't have to board it. Sorry, Cirrus team.

[12.11.2023 10:53:31] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Oh, no bother at all, Ms. Fenton.

[12.11.2023 10:53:54] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Alright, so given the state of the reactor and life support, let me propose a plan of action, and you can provide feedback

[12.11.2023 10:54:01] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: on your thoughts, yes?

[12.11.2023 10:54:02] (\^/)Vega: James: The most problem is with the turbines(pumps)m they are damn outdated and needs to be replaced.

[12.11.2023 10:54:53] (\^/)Vega: James: And as for now our industries don't have such parts, need to mention also the heart of the reactor - the rods. About 74%

[12.11.2023 10:55:00] (\^/)Vega: need to be replaced too.

[12.11.2023 10:55:03] ALG-R&D-3: By the way, we had a Core contact earlier. Might be an issue, I don't know.

[12.11.2023 10:55:15] ALG-R&D-3: I guess it's better than Nomads. Marginally.

[12.11.2023 10:55:22] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: My preferred method of attack here would be for your personnel onboard the Vega to wear hardsuits, with all those who don't

[12.11.2023 10:55:28] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: have suits available retiring to Kadesh Orbital City.

[12.11.2023 10:55:45] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Those remaining aboard would then shut down the reactor and life support systems, at least as best they're able.

[12.11.2023 10:56:12] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Cirrus team would then attempt to dislodge the reactor completely and relocate it a safe distance from the ship.

[12.11.2023 10:56:36] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: At this point, essential internal repairs can begin, and an entirely new reactor can be... produced or otherwise sourced.

[12.11.2023 10:56:38] (\^/)Vega: James: Yeah, please. The plan was to moor the Vega with the Kadesh and shut down the reactor - leave life support -

[12.11.2023 10:56:46] (\^/)Vega: on station balance.

[12.11.2023 10:56:47] ALG-R&D-3: Uh....are you sure that's a- well, you know better.

[12.11.2023 10:57:22] ALG-R&D-3: No backups though I'm guessing. Just all electricals cut.

[12.11.2023 10:57:28] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Oh, do share your thoughts, Ms. Fenton. A fresh pair of eyes can often be quite useful, us engineers frequently get stuck

[12.11.2023 10:57:32] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: in our own ways of doing things.

[12.11.2023 10:57:34] ALG-R&D-3: Sure, I mean....not any different from a space walk. In theory.

[12.11.2023 10:57:53] (\^/)Vega: James: That sounds very promising. Would you like to inspect the reactor shutdown processes?

[12.11.2023 10:58:09] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: What would be done if the Reactor cannot be removed?

[12.11.2023 10:58:15] (\^/)Vega: James: We never did that before, only maanged to power it up years ago.

[12.11.2023 10:58:19] ALG-R&D-3: Well, if any of the crew life support fails, the suits....and there's no backups on the ship itself. Uh.

[12.11.2023 10:58:27] ALG-R&D-3: Might take a really long time to get them out of there.

[12.11.2023 10:58:43] ALG-R&D-3: So we're really going to have to trust in those suits. Guess we have to do that anyway.

[12.11.2023 10:59:01] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: GS: Indeed. The entire point of a hardsuit is that you can comfortably entrust your life to it, no?

[12.11.2023 10:59:09] (\^/)Vega: James: If reactor cannot be removed as radical change - we can cut the section and put something new.

[12.11.2023 10:59:13] ALG-R&D-3: Again, I'm a weapons tester. Please disregard all of my opinions.

[12.11.2023 10:59:55] (\^/)Vega: James: You shouldn't worried - the ship is not going to the pieces. *laughs*

[12.11.2023 10:59:56] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: [bemusedly] Thank you for your input regardless. Anyway, James, if we have some difficulty in removing the reactor, well...

[12.11.2023 11:00:34] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: At that point I'd advise inserting the control rods, what few of them remain, and attempting to forcibly cease the reactor'

[12.11.2023 11:00:36] (\^/)Vega: James: The plan is stabilize its output and tow ship to the Carthage.

[12.11.2023 11:00:37] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: reactor's operation.

[12.11.2023 11:00:50] ALG-R&D-3: I admit, I have a perverse curiosity in seeing that giant thing just...turn off.

[12.11.2023 11:01:02] (\^/)Vega: James: We just dont have such tools to change reactor right here.

[12.11.2023 11:01:22] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Of course. We have basic construction, deconstruction, and measurement devices aboard the Cirrus, but nothing

[12.11.2023 11:01:32] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: like what would be required to completely perform an operation of that magnitude.

[12.11.2023 11:01:54] (\^/)Vega: James: So that's was original plan of Christian, with your aid stabilize situation onboard of Vega and together with Order tow-

[12.11.2023 11:02:05] (\^/)Vega: it in direction of more... Controlled and safe area.

[12.11.2023 11:02:07] ALG-R&D-3: I think we'll want to have a small backup reactor ready. Like, from a cargo ship or something. Just to run the life support.

[12.11.2023 11:02:17] ALG-R&D-3: You'll have something like that on Kadesh, right?

[12.11.2023 11:02:56] (\^/)Vega: James: Sounds good! Yes, I think so, we have mobile reactors on the Kadesh, as the station was consturcted with modularity in-

[12.11.2023 11:02:59] (\^/)Vega: mind.

[12.11.2023 11:03:00] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: A more modern generator may cause power overflow issues with the nigh ancient electrical systems aboard the Vega.

[12.11.2023 11:03:34] ALG-R&D-3: Just fuc- just, uhm. Strap that in after the main one is decoupled. Couple welds here and there and connect the main lines.

[12.11.2023 11:03:57] ALG-R&D-3: Not permanently obviously, but it's going to need some power before we refurbish the main one.

[12.11.2023 11:03:59] ALG-R&D-3: Or get a new one.

[12.11.2023 11:04:31] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Hmmm. I suppose we could try it, though we run the risk of potentially burning out some circuitry or overloading

[12.11.2023 11:04:35] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: more decrepit fixtures.

[12.11.2023 11:04:55] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Still, if our friends here would like to attempt a quick reactor swap, we can certainly try.

[12.11.2023 11:04:58] ALG-R&D-3: I think that risk is going to be there regardless of the specifics of how we disconnect it.

[12.11.2023 11:05:39] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: We could try to by pass the reactor by connecting the Ship to Kadesh's power grid. 

[12.11.2023 11:05:49] (\^/)Vega: James: We did some works back then on Livadia shipyard, pipes of interior / outer perimeter were replaced. So we won't have -

[12.11.2023 11:06:03] (\^/)Vega: flooded reactor with "dirty" water.

[12.11.2023 11:06:04] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Some modifications to the mooring point we could make a kitbash connection with the dock clamps

[12.11.2023 11:07:04] (\^/)Vega: James: Probably safest and easiest solution would be to open up hull panels structure and replace it as whole.

[12.11.2023 11:07:06] ALG-R&D-3: What do you think, Giraud? That could work.

[12.11.2023 11:07:22] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: A brilliant idea, yes! Do have your team onboard Kadesh prepare the system. Once it's ready, we can disconnect

[12.11.2023 11:07:33] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: the main reactor from the rest of the ship, and hook the Vega up to Kadesh's power grid.

[12.11.2023 11:08:01] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: At that point, your team can depart the Vega safely, and we can tow it away from Kadesh.

[12.11.2023 11:08:25] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Essential repairs to the structure can be performed much more easily without worry of interfering with live

[12.11.2023 11:09:00] ALG-R&D-3: Does uhm. Does the Cirrus have the power output to tow something of this mass?

[12.11.2023 11:09:19] ALG-R&D-3: I mean, I know it isn't going far, but still.

[12.11.2023 11:09:28] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: electrical circuits.

[12.11.2023 11:09:40] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Oh, uh. At least a few klicks, certainly.

[12.11.2023 11:09:43] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Probably not much further.

[12.11.2023 11:10:27] (\^/)Vega: James: What if we would stabilize output of the powerplant and let it fly itself to the Carthage?

[12.11.2023 11:10:36] ALG-R&D-3: There's a Hercules at Memphis. That's an option.

[12.11.2023 11:10:54] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: CG: Mmh. But you said earlier you were concerned about the Vega's structural integrity potentially not standing up to

[12.11.2023 11:11:06] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: the forces experienced inside a jumphole tunnel, yes?

[12.11.2023 11:11:42] (\^/)Vega: James: Indeed, but I had slight hope that we can repair several turbines to make things going in direction of the shipyard.

[12.11.2023 11:12:04] (\^/)Vega: James: I believe towing this ship though asteroid field is a tricky mission.

[12.11.2023 11:12:24] (\^/)Vega: James: But either way... The Order will provide escort for this mission.

[12.11.2023 11:12:43] ALG-R&D-3: It's not the hostile forces I'm worried about. Well, it is that, too.

[12.11.2023 11:12:57] ALG-R&D-3: But it's more the ship losing hull integrity if it's towed without power.

[12.11.2023 11:13:28] ALG-R&D-3: Then again, it's survived since 600 or so, so....

[12.11.2023 11:13:32] ALG-R&D-3: Maybe it'll be fine?

[12.11.2023 11:14:23] (\^/)Vega: James: You have the point. So can we inpsect the reactor before going into next step? And judging by its shape we can define -

[12.11.2023 11:14:27] (\^/)Vega: next steps.

[12.11.2023 11:14:31] ALG-R&D-3: Your call, Giraud. You're the expert.

[12.11.2023 11:15:06] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Mmh. The most important thing right now is that we shut down that main reactor.

[12.11.2023 11:15:23] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Have Kadesh's engineers prepared the docking clamp power transfer rig?

[12.11.2023 11:16:14] (\^/)Vega: James: Kadesh would able to provive life support for the Vega even with main powerplant disabled.

[12.11.2023 11:16:41] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: The Engineers report they have something ready. Wont know if it works until we try it

[12.11.2023 11:16:45] (\^/)Vega: James: So we have the room to investigate fursther steps.

[12.11.2023 11:16:51] ALG-R&D-3: Okay, well that's well and good, but you most definitely should be prepared for a total shutdown of life support.

[12.11.2023 11:16:55] ALG-R&D-3: Suits, everything.

[12.11.2023 11:17:01] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Indeed.

[12.11.2023 11:17:14] ALG-R&D-3: Hostile contact.

[12.11.2023 11:17:20] (\^/)Vega: James: Reported to the crew.

[12.11.2023 11:17:26] ALG-R&D-3: We're investigating.

[12.11.2023 11:17:36] Bulbule: *ENEMY ENTITY DETECTED*

[12.11.2023 11:17:43] Bulbule: *BULBULE ENTITY IGNORES ENEMY*

[12.11.2023 11:17:58] ALG-R&D-3: Fuck me that's a big one.

[12.11.2023 11:18:02] (\^/)Vega: James: I hope Kadesh security systems would keep the entity away.

[12.11.2023 11:18:07] Death: Freespirita has died

[12.11.2023 11:18:07] (\^/)Vega: James: Indeed.

[12.11.2023 11:18:37] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: I will maintain a perimetre

[12.11.2023 11:19:04] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: We'll continue the procedure unless the hostile reapproaches.

[12.11.2023 11:19:20] (\^/)Vega: James: Power fluctuations are much higher than before... We are trying to get into Kadesh's moor.

[12.11.2023 11:19:57] ALG-R&D-3: Looks like the aliens aren't interested. Yet.

[12.11.2023 11:20:03] ALG-R&D-3: If they return, that might be a problem.

[12.11.2023 11:20:07] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: We have a lifter enroute at highest speed. Just take it easy, don't push that reactor any more than necessary.

[12.11.2023 11:21:29] (\^/)Vega: James: I won't even touch the controls of the Vega reactors anymore. Let it drift to Kadesh direction. This is unexpected - 

[12.11.2023 11:22:11] (\^/)Vega: behaviour. We get used to its strange output but now it seems rather dead.

[12.11.2023 11:22:20] ALG-R&D-3: Well I sure am glad we started Memphis, because bringing a ship like that from Rheinland in a realistic timeframe would uhm.

[12.11.2023 11:22:22] ALG-R&D-3: Not be realistic.

[12.11.2023 11:22:28] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Quite!

[12.11.2023 11:23:36] (\^/)Vega: James: We're moored with the station, thankfully. At this moment the technicians connecting lifesupport systems between Kadesh-

[12.11.2023 11:23:39] (\^/)Vega: and Vega.

[12.11.2023 11:23:57] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: We're looking good thus far.

[12.11.2023 11:24:21] (\^/)Vega: James: So we will able to shut down powerplant safetly in a bit. Hope so.

[12.11.2023 11:24:30] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Wonderful, wonderful.

[12.11.2023 11:25:01] (\^/)Vega: James: You can get into the Vega though its docking bays, enjoy the hospitaly that station can to provide.

[12.11.2023 11:25:16] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Before you shut down Vega's reactors, I highly recommend all non-essential personnel depart the ship and 

[12.11.2023 11:25:20] (\^/)Vega: James: Using Vega docking bays isn't safest at this moment.

[12.11.2023 11:25:25] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: those remaining get suits on with all haste.

[12.11.2023 11:25:27] ALG-R&D-3: I'll keep an eye out. That uh....

[12.11.2023 11:25:37] ALG-R&D-3: That fucking massive alien was a concern, to say the least.

[12.11.2023 11:25:52] (\^/)Vega: James: Acknowledged.

[12.11.2023 11:26:03] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Scanners are clear so far

[12.11.2023 11:26:16] (\^/)Vega: James: It seems we are lucky today/

[12.11.2023 11:27:24] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Freelancer, this is an active nuclear hazard zone.

[12.11.2023 11:27:32] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: I would advise you to keep your distance for your own safety.

[12.11.2023 11:27:38] 2023-11-12 11:27:39 SMT  Traffic control alert: Kandinsky has docked

[12.11.2023 11:27:49] (\^/)Vega: James: It can be. Be he's risky, it seems.

[12.11.2023 11:27:51] ALG-Arbeiter: Guten morgen - Arbeiter's on site, sir. 

[12.11.2023 11:28:09] (\^/)Vega: James: Good morning, you are about time!

[12.11.2023 11:28:19] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Glad to see you. Giraud here. Thank you for arriving so swiftly.

[12.11.2023 11:28:46] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Vega, do let us know when the personnel transfer has been completed.

[12.11.2023 11:28:50] (\^/)Vega: James: While our technicians are connecting life support systems, can you keep the ship aligned in direction of the station?

[12.11.2023 11:29:21] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Indeed. Arbeiter, please keep the Vega in place in case anything knocks it off course.

[12.11.2023 11:29:31] ALG-R&D-3: I can't believe that call to Memphis went through so quickly. You really must have burned fuel coming here, Arbeiter.

[12.11.2023 11:29:32] ALG-Arbeiter: Got it.

[12.11.2023 11:30:17] ALG-Arbeiter: Cutting power to side thrusters. 

[12.11.2023 11:30:23] ALG-Arbeiter: Got it, I'm in position.

[12.11.2023 11:30:40] ALG-R&D-3: I'm going to position myself very close to the Vega's reactor, so if it blows up, at least I'll die quickly.

[12.11.2023 11:30:45] (\^/)Vega: James: The crew successfully disambarked from the Vega.

[12.11.2023 11:31:00] ALG-Arbeiter: Locking on the hy-mags. 

[12.11.2023 11:31:19] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Excellent. In that case, give us a countdown for control rod insertion.

[12.11.2023 11:31:22] (\^/)Vega: James: The reactor is remaining on the idle though.

[12.11.2023 11:31:26] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Kadesh is Reporting ready to engage take over Power control for the Vega

[12.11.2023 11:31:50] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: I recommend a delay of three seconds between control rod insertion and Kadesh power transfer activation.

[12.11.2023 11:32:06] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: The systems may experience a momentane flicker, but you certainly won't lose oxygen in that timeframe.

[12.11.2023 11:32:15] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Message relayed.....Kadesh control is standing by

[12.11.2023 11:32:25] ALG-R&D-3: You uh....you ever think about your place in the universe, if you're in a situation when it might immediately end if things go-

[12.11.2023 11:32:26] ALG-R&D-3: wrong?

[12.11.2023 11:32:31] (\^/)Vega: James: Copy that. You should have controls over the Vega now.

[12.11.2023 11:32:39] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Alright.

[12.11.2023 11:32:45] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Many times Pilot..many times

[12.11.2023 11:33:08] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Let's see here... [Giraud pulls up a holoscreen from the Cirrus's control dashboard.]

[12.11.2023 11:33:16] ALG-R&D-3: I think I'm happy with where I am. If this thing blows, I'll be happy with my life.

[12.11.2023 11:33:26] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Alrighty! Are we ready to all NOT die~?

[12.11.2023 11:33:35] ALG-R&D-3: Push it, Giraud.

[12.11.2023 11:33:44] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Kadesh is standing by

[12.11.2023 11:33:47] (\^/)Vega: James: I like that you stay optimistic.

[12.11.2023 11:33:54] ALG-Arbeiter: Verdammt. I didn't know things are this bad.

[12.11.2023 11:34:09] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: I have taken on Nomad Siege morphs..they didnt end me, and this wont either

[12.11.2023 11:34:09] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Countdown to control rod insertion. Three, two, one. [He sends the command, with the 17% functional control rods

[12.11.2023 11:34:19] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: being plunged into the reactor chamber inside the Vega.]

[12.11.2023 11:34:34] ALG-R&D-3: It's uh. Well, we're alive, so I guess it turned- okay. Off.

[12.11.2023 11:34:42] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Kadesh control, transfer power.

[12.11.2023 11:34:54] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Kadesh are reporting power fluctuations accross all decks...the reactor is compensating...

[12.11.2023 11:35:11] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Vega actual, do you read us? Are your systems online?

[12.11.2023 11:35:13] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Standby

[12.11.2023 11:35:23] (\^/)Vega: James: Now I can to speak. We're on Kadesh support now.

[12.11.2023 11:35:33] Kandinsky: Greetings gentlemen !

[12.11.2023 11:35:34] ALG-R&D-3: Sys check?

[12.11.2023 11:35:35] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Power transfer...seems to be stable.

[12.11.2023 11:36:07] ALG-R&D-3: Nice. A bit anticlimactic, but I guess I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the giant explosion on account of being in it.

[12.11.2023 11:36:14] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Phenomenale!

[12.11.2023 11:36:35] ALG-Arbeiter: Arbeiter here - I'm moving this thing to secure the Vega even further to Kadesh.

[12.11.2023 11:36:43] ALG-Arbeiter: Disengaging hydraulics.

[12.11.2023 11:36:45] (\^/)Vega: James: The reactor is offline, it slowly cool downs, though temperatures still high.

[12.11.2023 11:37:01] ALG-R&D-3: Yeah maybe put a couple tow cables on there. If the tractors fail.

[12.11.2023 11:37:04] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Yes, that's to be expected. The reactor will take, at minimum, several hours to fully disengage.

[12.11.2023 11:37:21] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Kadesh have reported the Reactor is taking the strain, but they have had to shut down some of the Stations systems to-

[12.11.2023 11:37:22] (\^/)Vega: James: The rods pool is almost dry.

[12.11.2023 11:37:23] (\^/)Phaenon: compensate

[12.11.2023 11:37:40] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Hopefully this state of affairs won't last too long.

[12.11.2023 11:37:58] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Vega, do I still have control?

[12.11.2023 11:38:10] (\^/)Vega: James: Yes, you have the controls.

[12.11.2023 11:38:27] (\^/)Vega: James: Though self check may be glitchy with many systems scratched.

[12.11.2023 11:38:48] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Please report all unused decks. I'm currently powering down your weaponry, radar, shielding, and tertiary thrust systems.

[12.11.2023 11:38:58] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: We want to minimize the load on Kadesh as much as possible.

[12.11.2023 11:40:04] (\^/)Vega: James: There is literally no one onboard of the Vega, beside command on the brdige and reactor section. They are infomed.

[12.11.2023 11:40:29] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Fantastic. Disabling tertiary and secondary life support systems. Primary remains engaged.

[12.11.2023 11:40:43] (\^/)Vega: James: Copy that.

[12.11.2023 11:40:44] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Lighting to all decks excepting bridge and reactor is also disabled.

[12.11.2023 11:40:56] ALG-R&D-3: Oh my. Get ready for a really loud whooshing noise.

[12.11.2023 11:41:25] (\^/)Vega: James: Oh shit, what was that?!

[12.11.2023 11:41:28] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Kadesh control, is power outflow stabilizing?

[12.11.2023 11:41:41] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Stand by....

[12.11.2023 11:41:52] (\^/)Vega: James: Vega never used to make sounds like that.

[12.11.2023 11:42:12] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Small fluctuations but otherwise stable. They beleive the age of the power infastructure is the cause

[12.11.2023 11:42:47] ALG-R&D-3: It's the air pressure. All the valves are inactive so a lot of pressurization is going to drop on an old ship like that.

[12.11.2023 11:43:10] ALG-R&D-3: That's normal. Just....don't leave the bridge.

[12.11.2023 11:43:12] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Well! I'd say this has gone about as optimally as possible under these circumstances, yes?

[12.11.2023 11:43:39] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Certainly could of been worse..but lets not celebrate until the reactor is dealt with fully

[12.11.2023 11:43:49] ALG-R&D-3: Considering we weren't consumed by a giant nuclear fireball? Yes. As well as it could have gone.,

[12.11.2023 11:44:03] (\^/)Vega: James: True, but with Nomads sneaking around that could change in a moment.

[12.11.2023 11:44:23] ALG-R&D-3: Yeah, good point. I'll have another quick run around.

[12.11.2023 11:44:35] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: On that front, I believe we'll have to keep our fingers crossed for the time being.

[12.11.2023 11:44:45] (\^/)Vega: James: Though I still hope that Kadesh has enough of firepower to stand off of their curiosity.

[12.11.2023 11:45:04] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Indeed

[12.11.2023 11:45:20] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Right. So now the task is how to extricate the reactor core from the Vega itself.

[12.11.2023 11:45:58] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Just to double-triple-check, all personnel in the reactor control room are also wearing spaceworthy hardsuits, yes?

[12.11.2023 11:46:50] ALG-R&D-3: No Core, no aliens. For now, I guess we're good.

[12.11.2023 11:46:57] (\^/)Vega: James: Shall we start such processes on the Carthage?

[12.11.2023 11:47:38] (\^/)Vega: James: Tearing ship apart can be tricky for transportation.

[12.11.2023 11:48:05] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Hmm. It's a dilemma. The reactor is in a dangerous state, and is the most likely section of the Vega to give us

[12.11.2023 11:48:14] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: The Vega isnt going anywhere without its own power..less you think it can drag Kadesh with it

[12.11.2023 11:48:36] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: trouble in the jump tunnel, but at the same time, removing it will expose sensitive systems to hyperspace.

[12.11.2023 11:48:54] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: We're also getting a message from our friends in the Battlegroup Revenant that hostile forces may be inbound.

[12.11.2023 11:49:07] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Alien or Core?

[12.11.2023 11:49:11] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Alien.

[12.11.2023 11:49:38] ALG-R&D-3: Probably the same beast we saw earlier.

[12.11.2023 11:49:51] (\^/)Vega: James: What if we would able to provide more platform tow ships, so even with such of ship of immense sizes we will able to -

[12.11.2023 11:49:51] ALG-R&D-3: If it's avoiding confrontation, all the better for us.

[12.11.2023 11:50:13] (\^/)Vega: navigate in asteroinds areas and in jumphole sequence?

[12.11.2023 11:50:28] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Do you have tugships on-hand?

[12.11.2023 11:50:39] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: The Arbeiter is the only one we have on site.

[12.11.2023 11:50:54] (\^/)Vega: James: I think we should have one onboard of the Kadesh, another one is on the Freeport 11.

[12.11.2023 11:50:58] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Can you do an assessment on the structual integrity. We could risk using a Jumpship

[12.11.2023 11:51:01] ALG-R&D-3: Arbeiter has the thrust needed to move the Vega. Just....not very quickly.

[12.11.2023 11:51:32] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Hmm. Yes, given we're... /somewhat/ strapped for time here!

[12.11.2023 11:52:00] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: I'll perform some rudimentary checks, and if things look nominal, we can attempt to use a jumpship directly to Mu.

[12.11.2023 11:52:05] (\^/)Vega: James: Anything that could move this brick our of this place is better than nothing... Other than that-

[12.11.2023 11:52:16] ALG-Arbeiter: Ja. I'll try my best over here.

[12.11.2023 11:52:25] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: James, does Phonix have a Jump capable ship?

[12.11.2023 11:52:31] ALG-R&D-3: That is uhm. I do not think you want to bring a ship with no shields into hyperspace.

[12.11.2023 11:52:33] (\^/)Vega: jump drive can be also considered, but not sure if it'll work with ship of such size.

[12.11.2023 11:52:42] ALG-R&D-3: It's....survivable, probably. But a terrible idea.

[12.11.2023 11:52:46] (\^/)Vega: James: With powerplant disabled, of course.

[12.11.2023 11:52:48] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Damn..

[12.11.2023 11:53:20] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Dealing with radioactive interstellar garbage for a career is also a terrible idea, yet here we all are, Miss Fenton!

[12.11.2023 11:53:25] ALG-R&D-3: If you want my uneducated opinion, we should initiate a tow.

[12.11.2023 11:53:40] (\^/)Vega: James: So yeah, better to stay in one piece and slow than risky mission.

[12.11.2023 11:53:42] ALG-R&D-3: Carthage is....a fair distance, but it's doable.

[12.11.2023 11:53:59] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: I'm going to begin my analysis of the Vega's structural integrity. Please ask our friends in the Order if they have an

[12.11.2023 11:54:07] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: ETA on the purple space whale.

[12.11.2023 11:55:01] ALG-R&D-3: They're looking, no location.

[12.11.2023 11:55:02] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: [All sorts of monitoring systems on the Vega's bridge would indicate security breaches as Giraud combs through whatever

[12.11.2023 11:55:08] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: metrics are accessible and functional.]

[12.11.2023 11:56:47] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Primary life support gas pressures are all nominal. Cirrus scanners indicate... ernh, less than optimal integrity on

[12.11.2023 11:57:20] ALG-Arbeiter: If we are to vacate the premises, it could take me a good while to tow an entire Bismarck, keep that in mind bitte.

[12.11.2023 11:57:44] ALG-R&D-3: Arbeiter, you can probably accelerate this fat thing to about as fast as we can reasonably go in a reasonable timeframe, right?

[12.11.2023 11:57:46] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: aft port hull girders.

[12.11.2023 11:57:53] ALG-R&D-3: I mean, that's what the Hercules is for.

[12.11.2023 11:58:43] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Uuuunfortunately, we don't have time to reinforce said girders, and we'll have to deconstruct them in order to remove

[12.11.2023 11:58:48] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: the reactor eventually anyway.

[12.11.2023 11:58:52] (\^/)Vega: James: Not sure if one Hercules is capable of towing Vega, nor its a good idea of doing it without escort.

[12.11.2023 11:59:21] ALG-R&D-3: It can. It'll just accelerate pretty slowly. But I mean....it's literally a tugship. That's what it's designed for.

[12.11.2023 11:59:50] ALG-R&D-3: The asteroids? Yeah, that might be an issue.

[12.11.2023 12:00:01] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Indeed, I'd rather have three of them. But one is what we have, so we'll just have to make do.

[12.11.2023 12:00:14] (\^/)Vega: James: Hm, that's sounds good. Let me to send a communication to Order, if they could provide an escort

[12.11.2023 12:00:16] ALG-Arbeiter: I'll try my best over here.

[12.11.2023 12:00:37] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Excellent. I'll assess the fore girders.

[12.11.2023 12:00:49] ALG-R&D-3: Battlegroup Revenant has contacted us.

[12.11.2023 12:01:45] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Hello, friends!

[12.11.2023 12:01:54] ALG-R&D-3: They've been stalking the alien. From its previous behaviour, it might not be looking for trouble.

[12.11.2023 12:02:06] ALG-Arbeiter: I believe I can try deploying some cables now. 

[12.11.2023 12:02:12] ALG-Arbeiter: What's our vector?

[12.11.2023 12:02:15] (\^/)Vega: James: I have tried to reach out Order Primary Fleet, but so far no response.

[12.11.2023 12:02:31] (\^/)Phaenon: C4

[12.11.2023 12:02:41] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Oui, we'll be headed towards the Mu anomaly.

[12.11.2023 12:02:59] ALG-R&D-3: I'll take a lead of around eight klicks.

[12.11.2023 12:03:14] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Fantastic, thank you Kimberly.

[12.11.2023 12:03:21] ALG-R&D-3: Just Kim is fine.

[12.11.2023 12:03:26] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Kim it is, then.

[12.11.2023 12:04:32] |>R<|RCV-Resheph: dont call help

[12.11.2023 12:04:40] (\^/)Phaenon: eh

[12.11.2023 12:04:40] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Alright, Francisco. Cabling attached?

[12.11.2023 12:04:49] |>R<|StalkerIIII: wtf

[12.11.2023 12:04:52] |>R<|StalkerIIII: CALL IT

[12.11.2023 12:05:00] |>R<|RCV-Resheph: no we can handle it

[12.11.2023 12:05:04] ALG-Arbeiter: Yeah. I got it.

[12.11.2023 12:05:06] |>R<|StalkerIIII: no we cant

[12.11.2023 12:05:13] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: The fore and central hull girders are in much better shape than the aft ones, so towing shouldn't compromise

[12.11.2023 12:05:14] ALG-R&D-3: Nothing here so far.

[12.11.2023 12:05:16] (\^/)Phaenon: What type of ship is it?

[12.11.2023 12:05:16] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: hull integrity at all.

[12.11.2023 12:05:20] ALG-R&D-3: Except rocks.

[12.11.2023 12:05:32] ALG-Arbeiter: I need to get into position first.

[12.11.2023 12:05:43] (\^/)Vega: James: Arbeiter, have you enabled electric magnets?

[12.11.2023 12:05:48] ALG-Arbeiter: Alright - deploying cables now.

[12.11.2023 12:05:55] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: I'm activating Vega's reserve power. Assuming the only active systems are comms and primary life support, I believe

[12.11.2023 12:06:08] (\^/)Vega: James: Or we are using only cables?

[12.11.2023 12:06:18] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: that once the Vega disconnects from Kadesh's power grid, we'll have around thirty-seven minutes of electrical uptime.

[12.11.2023 12:06:34] ALG-R&D-3: I sure as fuck hope you're using tractors AND cables.

[12.11.2023 12:06:40] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: This means that the only light you'll have is that emitted by your control panels, James.

[12.11.2023 12:06:41] ALG-R&D-3: You know, redundant systems.

[12.11.2023 12:06:41] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: James, i am heading to Delta to tend to Nomad

[12.11.2023 12:07:11] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Kim, please, Francisco is a professional.

[12.11.2023 12:07:22] ALG-Arbeiter: Uh, uhhh. Yeah. Sure am!

[12.11.2023 12:07:29] ALG-Arbeiter: Exactly.

[12.11.2023 12:07:30] ALG-R&D-3: This is uhm. This part is actually scarier than the whole "potential nuclear explosion" part.

[12.11.2023 12:07:44] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: [The lights on the Vega's bridge and in the reactor control room go out.]

[12.11.2023 12:07:55] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Kadesh control, release the Vega.

[12.11.2023 12:08:00] (\^/)Vega: James: Well, I hope you know what you are saying... Lets do it.

[12.11.2023 12:08:15] ALG-R&D-3: Full speed ahead.

[12.11.2023 12:08:34] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: We can activate shields just before entering the jump anomaly. It will severely cut into the electrical uptime, but...

[12.11.2023 12:08:35] (\^/)Vega: Kadesh Controls: Acknowdleged, the Vega has been disconnected from the station sub systems.

[12.11.2023 12:08:35] ALG-R&D-3: Contact.

[12.11.2023 12:08:43] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: It's likely a necessary safety measure.

[12.11.2023 12:08:59] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Arbeiter, begin tow at impulse speed.

[12.11.2023 12:09:06] ALG-R&D-3: Corsair.

[12.11.2023 12:09:17] ALG-Arbeiter: I'm taking the necessary precautions.

[12.11.2023 12:09:25] |>R<|RCV-Resheph: dont engage

[12.11.2023 12:09:30] ALG-Arbeiter: How's the situation looking from you, Vega?

[12.11.2023 12:09:52] ALG-R&D-3: Goodness. It's actually moving.

[12.11.2023 12:09:58] (\^/)Vega: James: Arbeiter, just dont stop please. Don't want to smash into you!

[12.11.2023 12:10:23] (\^/)Vega: James: With the mass of Vega that could have the consequnces.

[12.11.2023 12:10:29] Changing screen mode=full

[12.11.2023 12:10:35] ALG-R&D-3: I am equally impressed and terrified by a ship of this tonnage moving entirely with external power.

[12.11.2023 12:10:38] ALG-Arbeiter: No worries, I'm keeping myself at a reasonable distance over here. Plus, I can get some extra pull strength here.

[12.11.2023 12:10:42] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: There's enough debris and gravitational interference here that if the Arbeiter stopped, it would be more likely 

[12.11.2023 12:10:48] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: to crash into Palmyra than the Arbeiter.

[12.11.2023 12:10:56] ALG-Arbeiter: Alright, Vega. Let's do a small left...

[12.11.2023 12:10:57] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: I doubt that's much comfort, but, well.

[12.11.2023 12:11:39] ALG-Arbeiter: Alright. Don't wanna pull on the tether too hard. Commencing nav path.

[12.11.2023 12:11:52] (\^/)Vega: James: Copy that.

[12.11.2023 12:11:54] ALG-R&D-3: I guess this is obvious, but don't run into any rocks.

[12.11.2023 12:12:32] ALG-Arbeiter: Okay, I'm seeing some rocks along the way.

[12.11.2023 12:12:44] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: I apologize, James, for the darkness aboard, but we have to conserve all the power we can here.

[12.11.2023 12:12:56] ALG-Arbeiter: I'm gonna try to make this easy on you.

[12.11.2023 12:13:09] ALG-R&D-3: Then again, this thing is designed to withstand massive antimatter charges. So a little asteroid impact won't hurt it much.

[12.11.2023 12:13:10] ALG-R&D-3: Right?

[12.11.2023 12:13:18] (\^/)Vega: James: No problem, it a wise decision.

[12.11.2023 12:13:31] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: That depends entirely on the exterior hull plating and internal reinforcement struts.

[12.11.2023 12:13:47] ALG-Arbeiter: I have a visual on the anomaly over here. Uh, remind me again how you intend to send this over the jump hole?

[12.11.2023 12:13:57] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Given the Vega's age, well, I doubt they're iridium alloy, let's say that much. But good old titanium-steel will do.

[12.11.2023 12:13:59] ALG-Arbeiter: Y'reckon the Vega can do the jump? 

[12.11.2023 12:14:00] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Ah!

[12.11.2023 12:14:03] ALG-R&D-3: Okay, so. If everyone dies on that unshielded ship through hyperspace, don't say I didn't warn you. Because I did.

[12.11.2023 12:14:05] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Yes, there's the jump anomaly.

[12.11.2023 12:14:13] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Don't worry about that.

[12.11.2023 12:14:25] ALG-R&D-3: Uhm. Good luck, I guess?

[12.11.2023 12:14:27] ALG-Arbeiter: I am paid to not worry, therefore I will not worry.

[12.11.2023 12:14:39] (\^/)Vega: James: The luck should be on our side.

[12.11.2023 12:14:44] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: So, the plan, Francisco, is for you to RELEASE CABLING at nine hundred meters from the anomaly.

[12.11.2023 12:14:48] (\^/)Vega: James: Eh, I hope so.

[12.11.2023 12:14:50] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: I will raise the Vega's shielding.

[12.11.2023 12:14:54] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Inertia will carry it into the hole.

[12.11.2023 12:14:57] |>R<|StalkerIIII: fire now zoner

[12.11.2023 12:14:58] ALG-Arbeiter: Got it, got it.

[12.11.2023 12:15:12] ALG-R&D-3: So, next issue. The mines. They're pretty low yield, so we should be alright. Probably.

[12.11.2023 12:15:14] ALG-Arbeiter: Preparing to detatch tethers in three...

[12.11.2023 12:15:17] ALG-Arbeiter: Two... one.

[12.11.2023 12:15:19] (\^/)Vega: James: Tell my wife that I love her.

[12.11.2023 12:15:21] ALG-Arbeiter: Detaching.

[12.11.2023 12:15:24] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Raising shields.

[12.11.2023 12:15:25] ALG-R&D-3: I wouldn't stand anywhere near the windows, though.

[12.11.2023 12:15:31] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: [The Vega's shields lumber back to life.]

[12.11.2023 12:15:42] (\^/)Vega: James: See you on other side...

Code:

[12.11.2023 12:16:18] (\^/)Vega: James: Shit, we made it

[12.11.2023 12:16:20] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Ah, the ship's in one piece! And how about you and your crew, James?

[12.11.2023 12:16:29] ALG-R&D-3: Hey, it's the Vega! And it's in fewer than two pieces! Excellent!

[12.11.2023 12:16:42] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: [Giraud gives a soft "golf-clap".]

[12.11.2023 12:16:52] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Masterfully executed, if I do say so myself!

[12.11.2023 12:16:59] ALG-Arbeiter: Now, I ain't a shipbuilder or nothin', but I'm sure a Bismarck's made outta a whole lot more than one piece?

[12.11.2023 12:16:59] (\^/)Vega: James: We are fine, though feels sorta unusual in the spacesuits and without lights.

[12.11.2023 12:17:06] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Right. Power conservation.

[12.11.2023 12:17:14] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: [Giraud disables the Vega's shields once again.]

[12.11.2023 12:17:25] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Now, Francisco, this is where you really earn your keep.

[12.11.2023 12:17:27] ALG-R&D-3: It's many pieces, but they do need to be attached to each other. Which they currently are, which is great.

[12.11.2023 12:17:48] ALG-R&D-3: Alright, I'm moving ahead.

[12.11.2023 12:17:49] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Re-attach cables, re-engage magnolok(TM) systems.

[12.11.2023 12:17:52] ALG-Arbeiter: Uh, not a good time for this or nothin'. But it's actually "Francesco" - just so that you can etch my name right on my -

[12.11.2023 12:17:53] ALG-Arbeiter: headstone.

[12.11.2023 12:17:59] ALG-Arbeiter: Gotcha.

[12.11.2023 12:17:59] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Oh, my apologies, Francesco!

[12.11.2023 12:18:12] ALG-Arbeiter: Engaging magnetic tethers... now.

[12.11.2023 12:18:13] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Anyways, your job is now to guide the Vega safely out of the minefield.

[12.11.2023 12:18:19] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Just follow the buoys.

[12.11.2023 12:18:21] (\^/)Vega: James: On your go, it seems i'm just an observer right now.

[12.11.2023 12:18:21] (\^/)Phaenon: only if dead pilots well XD

[12.11.2023 12:18:25] (\^/)Phaenon: dread*

[12.11.2023 12:18:33] ALG-Arbeiter: An observer to my greatness. 

[12.11.2023 12:18:37] ALG-R&D-3: They're low-yield. Mostly EMP. But uh. You obviously still want to avoid them if you can.

[12.11.2023 12:18:42] (\^/)Vega: James: Indeed.

[12.11.2023 12:18:54] ALG-R&D-3: Although hey, with no electrical systems, I guess their EMP yield doesn't matter!

[12.11.2023 12:19:12] ALG-Arbeiter: Not gonna floor down the impulse speed throttle here. Gotta keep my head on a swivel right now. 

[12.11.2023 12:19:26] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: The caution is well placed.

[12.11.2023 12:19:28] ALG-Arbeiter: This could take a while, Vega. You should probably brew some tea while you're waiting.

[12.11.2023 12:19:29] (\^/)Phaenon: Not fans of DTR? lol

[12.11.2023 12:19:43] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: I don't think they have any hot water right now, I'm afraid.

[12.11.2023 12:19:45] (\^/)Vega: James: Right, stay careful here.

[12.11.2023 12:19:57] (\^/)Phaenon: wheres the ishtar?

[12.11.2023 12:20:15] ALG-Arbeiter: Oh right. Reactor's a bit iffy, ain't it?

[12.11.2023 12:20:17] (\^/)Phaenon: ahh

[12.11.2023 12:20:27] ALG-R&D-3: So, status on the Vega? Is it uhm....moving?

[12.11.2023 12:20:29] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: It is entirely offline and the Vega is running on reserve power.

[12.11.2023 12:20:38] ALG-Arbeiter: They're moving.

[12.11.2023 12:20:44] ALG-R&D-3: Excellent.

[12.11.2023 12:20:53] (\^/)Vega: James: We are not much different from a lifeless rock.

[12.11.2023 12:21:26] (\^/)Vega: James: As for the reactor, the temperatures of the rods slowly reducing.

[12.11.2023 12:21:32] ALG-R&D-3: Except for the life! You are still alive, right?

[12.11.2023 12:21:32] ALG-Arbeiter: Ah, there we go. Optimal speed for the tethers to stay in place.

[12.11.2023 12:22:14] (\^/)Vega: James: Oh, we are still alive, that's true!

[12.11.2023 12:22:16] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: James, can you provide an ETA on rod cooldown to safe handling temperatures?

[12.11.2023 12:22:29] (\^/)Vega: James: Though it feels like we are separate from the Vega.

[12.11.2023 12:23:23] (\^/)Vega: James: It was working on bare minimum for several weeks now. So...

[12.11.2023 12:24:16] (\^/)Vega: James: It can take up to several weeks to start up mantaincence works.

[12.11.2023 12:24:36] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Have you already spoken with the Order about the use of Carthage?

[12.11.2023 12:24:58] ALG-R&D-3: I can't imagine they'd object, the Phoenix are very close to them, right?

[12.11.2023 12:25:11] (\^/)Vega: James: Of course, Christian already made contact with the Order. They have all prepared.

[12.11.2023 12:25:25] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Phenomenale.

[12.11.2023 12:25:45] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Alright, so at some point we're going to need to change direction to head towards Carthage.

[12.11.2023 12:25:46] ALG-R&D-3: Uhm. What's your course? You know Carthage is north, right?

[12.11.2023 12:25:57] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Do we want to turn now, or wait until we get out of the asteroid field?

[12.11.2023 12:25:59] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Not sure if you have noticed all the mines around us

[12.11.2023 12:26:08] ALG-Arbeiter: We ought to get out of this field first, wouldn't want to let the Vega hit any rocks, you know.

[12.11.2023 12:26:27] (\^/)Vega: James: We better to pass though asteroids first and then align to the Carthage, I believe.

[12.11.2023 12:26:55] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Agreed.

[12.11.2023 12:27:21] ALG-R&D-3: Uh. Alright. That....doesn't make much sense to me, but I'm not in charge here.

[12.11.2023 12:27:49] ALG-R&D-3: Maybe Taba has a spare Bismarck reactor lying around.

[12.11.2023 12:27:52] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Francesco, darling, if you believe you can navigate directly through the asteroids while avoiding impacts, then

[12.11.2023 12:27:57] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: I have full confidence in your abilities.

[12.11.2023 12:28:20] ALG-Arbeiter: What? Oh, no. I don't wanna get my pay docked.

[12.11.2023 12:28:23] (\^/)Vega: James: I doubt that Order posses any Rheinland made technologies. At least of what I'm aware of.

[12.11.2023 12:28:35] ALG-R&D-3: It was sarcasm, James.

[12.11.2023 12:28:42] ALG-Arbeiter: Not a single dent will get the pleasure of scratching the Vega.

[12.11.2023 12:28:48] (\^/)Vega: James: Ah... Right.

[12.11.2023 12:28:51] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: To be honest with you, I believe we'll need to completely scrap the Vega's reactor.

[12.11.2023 12:29:03] ALG-R&D-3: Yeah that seems pretty likely.

[12.11.2023 12:29:05] ALG-Arbeiter: Let's take a small right here, Vega.

[12.11.2023 12:29:15] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: We could certainly repair it to roughly working order, but given its age, it would be... irresponsible.

[12.11.2023 12:29:16] ALG-Arbeiter: We'll follow along the buoys to get out of this field. 

[12.11.2023 12:29:17] ALG-R&D-3: We actually might be able to get one together at Memphis.

[12.11.2023 12:29:23] (\^/)Vega: James: Yeah, I expected that... That gonna be costly.

[12.11.2023 12:29:38] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: In fact, it may be a good project for us.

[12.11.2023 12:29:57] ALG-Arbeiter: I reckon the clearing's wide enough for us to pick up the pace.

[12.11.2023 12:29:58] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Depending on what the Phoenix intends to do with the ship, we may be able to devise a fully custom reactor design.

[12.11.2023 12:30:16] ALG-Arbeiter: Ready for some full throttle, Vega? Can you handle that?

[12.11.2023 12:30:17] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Paperweight for Christians office i think

[12.11.2023 12:30:28] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: [Giraud lets out a giggle.]

[12.11.2023 12:30:41] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Certainly no papers will ever fall out of his folders again.

[12.11.2023 12:30:50] (\^/)Vega: James: Of course, full speed on your thortle!

[12.11.2023 12:30:57] ALG-Arbeiter: Got it.

[12.11.2023 12:31:04] (\^/)Vega: James: Otherwise it'll take forever.

[12.11.2023 12:31:31] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: James, is the Vega intended to eventually play an offensive role?

[12.11.2023 12:31:36] ALG-Arbeiter: Give a small nudge to your impulse velocity. The tether's pull will do the rest.

[12.11.2023 12:32:00] (\^/)Vega: James: As for the reactor, I think our is a really of anicent design.

[12.11.2023 12:32:27] ALG-Arbeiter: Left.

[12.11.2023 12:32:35] ALG-Arbeiter: Careful there.

[12.11.2023 12:33:00] ALG-Arbeiter: Oh God I hope you didn't just bump into any rocks, I want a full pay by the end of this!

[12.11.2023 12:33:14] ALG-Arbeiter: Okay, I reckon we're outside the field.

[12.11.2023 12:33:19] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Francesco, don't worry. You'll be getting full pay so long as it doesn't fall into a star.

[12.11.2023 12:33:22] ALG-Arbeiter: Sharp right.

[12.11.2023 12:33:34] (\^/)Vega: James: If you have the better design and technologies... There's no point to recreate same reactor.

[12.11.2023 12:34:01] (\^/)Vega: James: I believe modern Bismarcks are much more different inside than ours.

[12.11.2023 12:34:25] (\^/)Vega: James: Like few steps ahead. Or centuries.

[12.11.2023 12:34:33] ALG-R&D-3: Yes, they probably don't have two hundred year old graffiti in them stating "Werner sucks dicks".

[12.11.2023 12:34:41] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Pardon?

[12.11.2023 12:35:00] ALG-R&D-3: They have newer graffiti saying the same thing.

[12.11.2023 12:35:08] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: [Giraud lets out another giggle.]

[12.11.2023 12:35:14] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Some things truly are timeless, my dear.

[12.11.2023 12:35:39] (\^/)Vega: James: The ship interior design was radically changed to meet our needs, but the reactor section still have everything original

[12.11.2023 12:36:08] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Of course.

[12.11.2023 12:36:11] (\^/)Vega: include various words. *laughs*

[12.11.2023 12:36:29] ALG-R&D-3: So when you say you radically changed the interior. Did you leave all of the old graffiti?

[12.11.2023 12:36:50] ALG-R&D-3: Actually, there would be GMG graffiti over the original military stuff, too, right?

[12.11.2023 12:37:10] (\^/)Vega: James: None I'm aware of. But you could find it in powerplant section, if there even was one.

[12.11.2023 12:37:11] ALG-R&D-3: I know I said I didn't want to see the inside, when the ship was about to blow up, but now I kind of do.

[12.11.2023 12:37:29] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: I have a feeling that we may be seeing quite a lot of the inside in the weeks and months to come.

[12.11.2023 12:37:46] (\^/)Vega: James: The Miners did not much with the ship, they have kept it in original shape.

[12.11.2023 12:37:51] ALG-R&D-3: Oh, certainly. I look forward to that.

[12.11.2023 12:38:11] ALG-R&D-3: They did leave traces, though. I'm sure.

[12.11.2023 12:38:16] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: If I may be so bold, I'm already fantasizing about what we might end up doing with the thing.

[12.11.2023 12:38:19] (\^/)Vega: James: At least what have said to be one of their Guildmasters.

[12.11.2023 12:38:34] ALG-R&D-3: You will move a box in some storage room, and behind it you will find "Akira Sugimori wuz here".

[12.11.2023 12:38:47] ALG-R&D-3: "724 as"

[12.11.2023 12:39:10] ALG-Arbeiter: Let's do a gentle right here.

[12.11.2023 12:39:10] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: But in Japanese, right?

[12.11.2023 12:39:31] ALG-Arbeiter: Don't wanna get caught in the planet's gravity.

[12.11.2023 12:39:57] ALG-R&D-3: I don't know, the Guildspeople are very cosmopolitan. I'd imagine much of their graffiti is in English.

[12.11.2023 12:39:57] (\^/)Vega: James: I would more afraid of sun gravity.

[12.11.2023 12:40:25] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: You know, I somewhat wonder if the GMG may have developed their own melange patois.

[12.11.2023 12:40:41] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: A mixture of Japanese, English, and whatever other dialects may be spoken by their personnel.

[12.11.2023 12:40:59] ALG-R&D-3: Oh, yeah. They sort of do that.

[12.11.2023 12:41:05] (\^/)Vega: James: So what name would be for that language?

[12.11.2023 12:41:14] (\^/)Vega: James: Gas language?

[12.11.2023 12:41:29] ALG-R&D-3: I'm at Wichter most of the time. Sigmas territory. So I meet a lot of Guildspeople, and their manner of speaking is....

[12.11.2023 12:41:50] ALG-R&D-3: Interesting. All totally comprehensible, but just...a little strange, with their word order and stuff.

[12.11.2023 12:41:51] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Perhaps "Sigma creole", even!

[12.11.2023 12:41:52] (\^/)Vega: James: Konnichiwa and all that stuff?

[12.11.2023 12:42:06] ALG-R&D-3: Of course, being from LA, that applies to Rheinland in general for me.

[12.11.2023 12:42:27] ALG-R&D-3: But I'm really used to the standard Berlin or Hamburg dialects by now.

[12.11.2023 12:42:31] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Perhaps in due time, ALG's activities in Gallia may see us develop a similar mode of speech.

[12.11.2023 12:42:58] ALG-R&D-3: Well, listen to yourself! You've probably adapted some hybrid speech yourself, Giraud.

[12.11.2023 12:43:04] ALG-Arbeiter: Lower your nose, Vega.

[12.11.2023 12:43:15] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Ah, Hamburg has a most delightful vernacular. "Ik heff mol een schuttschiff gesien."

[12.11.2023 12:43:31] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: It has such a "patter" to it compared to French.

[12.11.2023 12:43:43] ALG-R&D-3: Yeah I won't even try to understand Hamburg spaceport workers.

[12.11.2023 12:43:47] ALG-Arbeiter: Give some jolts to your side thrusters if you can, let's try to remain aligned here.

[12.11.2023 12:44:15] (\^/)Vega: James: Unfortunately all systems are offline.

[12.11.2023 12:44:36] (\^/)Vega: James: Thrusters are power-thirst.

[12.11.2023 12:44:54] ALG-R&D-3: Yeah take it easy on the power consumption.

[12.11.2023 12:44:57] ALG-Arbeiter: Righto - I reckon this is the general direction we're supposed to go to? I don't exactly know the coordinate for the base we're

[12.11.2023 12:44:58] ALG-Arbeiter: going to...

[12.11.2023 12:45:03] ALG-Arbeiter: Coordinates, sorry

[12.11.2023 12:45:08] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Your heading in the right direction

[12.11.2023 12:45:28] (\^/)Vega: James: It should be around 2G sector, left side.

[12.11.2023 12:45:36] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Allow me to upload precise coordinates to you now.

[12.11.2023 12:45:45] ALG-R&D-3: There's a big gas giant in the cloud there. That's where we're headed.

[12.11.2023 12:45:46] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: [beep boop beep brrrrrpp]

[12.11.2023 12:45:50] ALG-Arbeiter: Coordinates received.

[12.11.2023 12:46:04] ALG-R&D-3: If you get a massive gravitational signature in that general direction? That's the right direction.

[12.11.2023 12:46:08] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: We're precisely on course, I believe. You have a keen intuition about you, dear Francesco!

[12.11.2023 12:46:28] ALG-Arbeiter: I'm just trying to get it right. 

[12.11.2023 12:46:46] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: James, I believe the Vega's reserve power will be running out in approximately three minutes.

[12.11.2023 12:47:09] ALG-R&D-3: Uh. What?

[12.11.2023 12:47:32] ALG-R&D-3: You do have suits with more power than that, right? Because we are not making it to Carthage in three minutes.

[12.11.2023 12:47:34] (\^/)Vega: James: Roger that. Either way, we are almost in position.

[12.11.2023 12:47:35] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: This entire time, my dear, the Vega has been running off of reserve power banked in the secondary capacitors.

[12.11.2023 12:47:45] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: The personnel aboard are all in hardsuits.

[12.11.2023 12:48:00] (\^/)Vega: James: Yeah, you are right - the capacitors almost hit dry.

[12.11.2023 12:48:07] ALG-R&D-3: Yeah. Just don't die in that fat green shell.

[12.11.2023 12:48:22] ALG-Arbeiter: Entering the nebula.

[12.11.2023 12:48:24] (\^/)Vega: James: Though we are still has enough of oxygen in our spacesuits, no worry.

[12.11.2023 12:48:25] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: In two minutes, I would advise turning on your suits' internal oxygen.

[12.11.2023 12:48:30] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Perfect.

[12.11.2023 12:48:48] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Unless you have a comms uplink in your suit, you'll be totally dark for the last leg of our trip here.

[12.11.2023 12:48:51] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: But we'll make it in time.

[12.11.2023 12:49:04] (\^/)Vega: James: Got Carthage vis... [static]

[12.11.2023 12:49:15] ALG-R&D-3: Wall of Seth, girls. Be prepared to not see or hear anything.

[12.11.2023 12:49:22] ALG-Arbeiter: Uh oh. Uh.

[12.11.2023 12:49:32] ALG-Arbeiter: Sharp right, Vega.

[12.11.2023 12:49:39] ALG-R&D-3: Comms range is really bad but our group is close enough.

[12.11.2023 12:49:47] ALG-Arbeiter: Watch the asteroids.

[12.11.2023 12:49:52] ALG-R&D-3: Probably won't hear anything from anywhere outside, though.

[12.11.2023 12:49:56] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Remember, Francesco, their comms and engines are down.

[12.11.2023 12:50:02] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: You're guiding them all on your own.

[12.11.2023 12:50:10] ALG-Arbeiter: Reassuring!

[12.11.2023 12:50:13] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: 6 k

[12.11.2023 12:50:20] ALG-Arbeiter: This is so dicey.

[12.11.2023 12:50:23] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: You've done a truly fantastique job thus far.

[12.11.2023 12:50:35] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Surely you can guide the ship into the drydocks here, in the final stretch.

[12.11.2023 12:50:39] ALG-R&D-3: Carthage docking control, we're coming in. Everything good for our arrival?

[12.11.2023 12:50:43] ALG-Arbeiter: Trying my best here, sir.

[12.11.2023 12:50:58] ALG-Arbeiter: Phew. Okay, think we made it.

[12.11.2023 12:51:01] (\^/)Phaenon: Von: Give that man a raise

[12.11.2023 12:51:14] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Right, Francesco. Guide them into the drydocks, release cabling, and then swiftly /swoosh/ around

[12.11.2023 12:51:16] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: to the rear of the Vega.

[12.11.2023 12:51:18] ALG-R&D-3: This has got to be the fattest damn ship that ever was moored at these 'yards.

[12.11.2023 12:51:26] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Once there, reattach cabling and cancel inertia with reverse thrust.

[12.11.2023 12:51:44] ALG-Arbeiter: You reckon this thing'll even fit inside the drydocks?

[12.11.2023 12:51:50] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Oh, ah, hmm.

[12.11.2023 12:51:52] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Perhaps not!

[12.11.2023 12:51:55] ALG-R&D-3: Uh...no. No, it will not.

[12.11.2023 12:52:09] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Well, just put it... near~ish to the drydock, then.

[12.11.2023 12:52:12] ALG-Arbeiter: I believe we can anchor it to the side.

[12.11.2023 12:52:22] ALG-Arbeiter: Should be good enough access for the repair crew, yeah?

[12.11.2023 12:52:30] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: I do believe so.

[12.11.2023 12:52:36] ALG-R&D-3: We're really trusting in the Order's spaceborn engy corps here. Which we can, because they are excellent.

[12.11.2023 12:53:09] ALG-Arbeiter: Detatching tethers now.

[12.11.2023 12:53:14] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Excellent! Now we just, er. Have to disembark James and his crew.

[12.11.2023 12:53:30] ALG-R&D-3: Giraud. If there's nothing that can be done about the old reactor, do you think we can make a new one at Memphis?

[12.11.2023 12:53:37] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Oh, I'm quite sure.

[12.11.2023 12:53:52] ALG-R&D-3: I'd say it's possible. We have the nuclear engineers, we have nuclear materials and alloys to work with.

[12.11.2023 12:54:01] ALG-R&D-3: A lot of work, for sure, but probably doable.

[12.11.2023 12:54:30] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: VonCloud, do you have a hardsuit available to you?

[12.11.2023 12:54:40] (\^/)Vega: James: Thanks for taking us out of the Vega, finally light and fresh air.

[12.11.2023 12:54:51] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Excellent!

[12.11.2023 12:55:11] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Well, all things considered, that went off without a hitch! We even dodged the gigantic purple death squids.

[12.11.2023 12:55:26] ALG-R&D-3: Talk to Singer, she'll probably be interested.

[12.11.2023 12:55:29] (\^/)Vega: James: An excellent mission we have done over here, especiallly the Arbeiter.

[12.11.2023 12:55:40] (\^/)Vega: James: You captain has balls.

[12.11.2023 12:55:58] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Miss Fenton. Francesco.

[12.11.2023 12:56:08] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: All of you -- including the crew of the Arbeiter -- will be receiving a bonus.

[12.11.2023 12:56:16] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: If Finance won't authorize it, I'll pay for it myself.

[12.11.2023 12:56:28] ALG-R&D-3: Especially Francesco, he honestly did most of the work.

[12.11.2023 12:56:36] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Indubitably so.

[12.11.2023 12:56:41] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Fantastic job, everyone.

[12.11.2023 12:56:53] (\^/)Vega: James: Phoenix will make sure your work would be well paid regardless.

[12.11.2023 12:56:57] ALG-R&D-3: Although the whole Cirrus team not blowing everyone up was also great.

[12.11.2023 12:57:19] ALG-Arbeiter: Thank you, sir. Glad I could help.

[12.11.2023 12:57:42] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: This is what we pay you for, Francesco. Good work means good pay. That's what sets ALG apart from

[12.11.2023 12:57:47] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: those monsters at Kruger and Daumann.

[12.11.2023 12:58:03] (\^/)Vega: James: With Vega finally stationed to the shipyard we finally can examine each system.

[12.11.2023 12:58:07] ALG-R&D-3: Fuck 'em. Shot them in the war, would shoot them again at a moment's notice.

[12.11.2023 12:58:27] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: I appreciate the spirit, Miss Fenton.

[12.11.2023 12:58:46] ALG-R&D-3: "Experimental weapons platform" means testing. Against live targets.

[12.11.2023 12:58:53] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Quite so.

[12.11.2023 12:59:05] ALG-R&D-3: Core, Daumann, Kruger, aliens....we'll shoot them all.

[12.11.2023 12:59:36] (\^/)Vega: James: As for Daumann, I believe you're also experienced with Bismarck design?

[12.11.2023 12:59:58] (\^/)Vega: James: We have several deck burned down, the hull panels needs to be replaced.

[12.11.2023 13:00:10] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: During the regrettable civil war against the fascistic imperialists, our company was responsible for servicing

[12.11.2023 13:00:13] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: the Federalist fleet.

[12.11.2023 13:00:15] (\^/)Vega: James: Not sure if its in your power, but curious to ask.

[12.11.2023 13:00:33] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: We have plenty of experience. Not to mention we have our own designs.

[12.11.2023 13:00:48] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: And, if I do say so, better designs than Daumann's antiquated garbage.

[12.11.2023 13:00:58] ALG-R&D-3: Obviously we would hope to do all the work on the project ourselves. The Daumann monarchists are at the very best, rivals.

[12.11.2023 13:01:02] (\^/)Vega: James: Oh, that's interesting. To be honest, I don't know anything regarding recent civil war in the Rheinland.

[12.11.2023 13:01:03] ALG-R&D-3: And more realistically, enemies.

[12.11.2023 13:01:20] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Miss Fenton can speak more on that matter than myself, I believe.

[12.11.2023 13:01:36] (\^/)Vega: James: Sounds like we found proper team to work with!

[12.11.2023 13:01:54] ALG-R&D-3: What I can speak of that matter is that I greatly enjoyed shooting Daumann to test this experimental weapons platform.

[12.11.2023 13:02:26] ALG-R&D-3: And would do so again, at any time, given the opportunity. But obviously they don't generally come out this far east.

[12.11.2023 13:03:00] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: They did recently dismantle their installation in Delta.

[12.11.2023 13:03:10] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Hopefully that means we won't see any more of them out here.

[12.11.2023 13:03:25] ALG-R&D-3: I hope not. They are close friends of the Core.

[12.11.2023 13:03:37] (\^/)Vega: James: I recently noticed that too, they have sold it or sent it to gas giant atmosphere?

[12.11.2023 13:04:20] ALG-R&D-3: Little unclear what happened with that project. I imagine it became unsustainable when the Rho system collapsed.

[12.11.2023 13:04:29] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: That would seem likely.

[12.11.2023 13:04:35] (\^/)Vega: James: So if you have expirienced a full servicing and construction of Bismarck class vessels... We will need to get though the

[12.11.2023 13:04:47] (\^/)Vega: ship and estimate required work and materials.

[12.11.2023 13:04:55] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Ah, we haven't fully constructed one from scratch.

[12.11.2023 13:05:10] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: However, we certainly have the capacity to do so, even if it would be -- at least in part -- a somewhat experimental ventur

[12.11.2023 13:05:12] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: venture.

[12.11.2023 13:05:14] ALG-R&D-3: But we could. Given enough time and resources.

[12.11.2023 13:05:37] (\^/)Vega: James: I see. Well, its not a really imporant over here, as it seems you are professionals when it comes to those bricks.

[12.11.2023 13:05:49] ALG-R&D-3: Giraud, talk to Singer. She'll be happy to start a project like that at Memphis, and talk to the people at Carthage.

[12.11.2023 13:05:54] (\^/)Vega: James: And we are thank you for that.

[12.11.2023 13:05:58] ALG-R&D-3: It's doable. Big project, but doable.

[12.11.2023 13:06:29] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: I certainly will do so.

[12.11.2023 13:06:47] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: For now, I believe we could all do with some well earned rest. Perhaps after a round of celebratory drinks, yes?

[12.11.2023 13:06:52] ALG-R&D-3: So, is the Vega secured?

[12.11.2023 13:07:21] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Francesco, would you terribly mind securing the Vega to the side of the drydock with some magcabling?

[12.11.2023 13:07:34] (\^/)Vega: James: Vega is secured next to drydock, but its doable location for the repairs.

[12.11.2023 13:07:40] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: After that, I believe this phase of the operation will be well and truly complete.

[12.11.2023 13:07:43] ALG-R&D-3: Phoenix people, send some staff, some engineers over to Memphis. I think we'll want to do some planning there.

[12.11.2023 13:08:07] (\^/)Vega: James: Seems Order didn't knew what we would bring there when designed the shipyards. *laughs*

[12.11.2023 13:08:24] ALG-R&D-3: Yeah, hah. Not their usual fare, this one.

[12.11.2023 13:08:29] (\^/)Vega: James: Copy that, I'll refer that to Cristian.

[12.11.2023 13:08:34] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: If need be, we may even be able to establish some /very/ rudimentary drydock facilities at Memphis.

[12.11.2023 13:08:37] ALG-Arbeiter: Uh, I ain't a militant or nothing, but I'd be pretty darn scared too if a Bismarck pulled up at my docks...

[12.11.2023 13:08:43] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: But that is a task for future us.

[12.11.2023 13:08:57] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Present me would very much like a glass of champagne and a nice nap.

[12.11.2023 13:09:30] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: Gentleman and lady, I will be in touch with you quite soon.

[12.11.2023 13:09:31] (\^/)Vega: James: Either way I think we all deserved to have a drink on the Carthage. Great job everyone.

[12.11.2023 13:09:33] ALG-R&D-3: Same. My role here is done, I think. I'll let the engineers take over.

[12.11.2023 13:09:50] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: James, I look forward to conferring with you on Memphis within the coming days.

[12.11.2023 13:09:50] (\^/)Vega: James: Even aliens tried to interfere our mission, though luck was on our side.

[12.11.2023 13:10:15] ALG-R&D-3: It kind of was, wasn't it? None of us blew up and the one alien we saw left right away.

[12.11.2023 13:10:20] ALG-R&D-3: That actually was lucky.

[12.11.2023 13:10:41] ALG-R&D-3: A fine start to a big project.

[12.11.2023 13:10:45] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: When you're on the good side, sometimes the stars themselves will wobble just a bit to make way for you.

[12.11.2023 13:10:46] (\^/)Vega: James: Just let me to deal with buerocracy here on Carthage and I''m all yours.

[12.11.2023 13:10:50] 2023-11-12 13:10:52 SMT  Traffic control alert: (\^/)Phaenon has docked

[12.11.2023 13:11:00] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: I will see all of you fairly soon.

[12.11.2023 13:11:10] ALG-Arbeiter: Alright.

[12.11.2023 13:11:13] ALG-R&D-Cirrus: SG: It was a pleasure for all of us here aboard the Cirrus.

[12.11.2023 13:11:15] ALG-R&D-3: Yeah. Time for some drinks.

[12.11.2023 13:11:22] ALG-Arbeiter: Guess, uh. Suppose you won't need a heavy lifter now?

[12.11.2023 13:11:27] (\^/)Vega: James: See you out there in the bar, I hope!
