Just a quick update. Supplies are movin in. Junkers from all around are pitchin in to help us out. Just today an indi in a train pulls in with a load of engine components. I directed him to the dockmaster to log his delivery and recieve pay and he said not to worry, this one's on him. That's more than generous, and I'm a bit of the suspicious type so I asked what gives. He says the Congress helped him out some time ago with a misunderstandin. Seems the local law mistook his train for a pirate ship. They were arguing about it outside o' Manhatten when one of our boys came along and smoothed things out. They ended up letting him continue on as he didn't have anything illegal and hadn't done anything wrong. I always say you can never have too many friends.
I'm working on a deal for some superconductors. I'll need them to tie the reactor core into the main drive system. The nuclear devices I'd set up came in yesterday so once we verify the integrity of the containment unit on the reactor we'll begin charging her up. I'm hoping for a burn test within the week.
