How are we looking? The crew is ready to get back to work. Surprisingly, this break has reinforced their desire for the movement. That coupled with the rumored recovery of the Reckoning, they're all fired up. Let us know at your earliest--most have already returned to Bethlehem in Penn and are ready to work. They've even indicated they'd like to help your team with work if needed.
Apologies for the pause in communications. We’ve been busy trying to get your ship into shape and it hasn’t been entirely easy, but here’s a quick rundown on our progress thus far.
The reactor has fully undergone all necessary testing, and we’ve commenced internal electronics tests. Replacements have already been started there, though it’s not a quick process to say the least. You know how cluttered these ships can get. Visual inspection was completed, though, and all the replacements found from that process have been largely completed.
Replacement of the radiation shielding for engine #3 has been completed, with the light-off problem being soundly fixed. It turns out the engine likely originated from a "Mastodon"; honestly if the bell wasn’t older than the ship itself, I’d be surprised. I think the bell was a homemade job, though. God knows from what. We’ve completed inspections of engines #1 and #2 - most of the components had severe degradation, but were able to be salvaged in some way or another. Wiring and shielding can prove inadequate for such external work, but we’ve shifted it into the internal components that required proper replacement.
Hull plating has likewise been completed. Several sections may bear some resemblance to some vessels floating here in Bering, but the armor was military grade before it was shot to pieces and we’ve patched together a good enough seal to get you moving. If that worries you at all, don’t worry, proper scans of the sections were done to ensure their integrity.
If your crew is able to transfer over to help with the electronics tests, we can start as soon as able. Glad to hear they’re looking forward to getting underway. We can sure use that sort of enthusiastic help.
I’m happy to say that your ship, despite all the bloody trouble it’s given me, is done as much as you’ve wanted her to be done. The engines are at green line, same with the reactor, and her internal electrics should give you about as much trouble as any other TTR-1130 would. I know that’s no glowing endorsement, but she’s as good as can be got. Her hull plating should go pretty well, too.
The total cost’s been run up to 440.000 cr. Turned out we could recycle a lot more from the external hellscape of the engines into the internals than originally thought. You can thank Kleiner for that one. I’m sure you can just pay in person when you pick the ship up.
