reactivate, rebuild, recall

Omicron Lost, Sector 4G Ichton Station
Jason was walking around in the lab looking at all the chemical compounds and regencies. He lifted a small glass full of a green, water like, substance and was gently shaking it. He waited for a reaction with curiosity.
"Please don't touch that." Doctor Lindemann said.
"Be careful around here Jason. Please put it back down and keep your hands away from anything dangerous."
"Well if you want doctor."
Jason set the glass back down. Giving it a gently push so it was wobbling around for a bit. By the look on his face Lindemann nearly got a heart attack right then and there.
"So you've got something for me?"
"We had a breakthrough with project Hercules. At least I belive we had. I did lack the time to test my new results yet but if everything works out as planned we should be able to produce a prototype soon."
The doctor was typing some weird and abstract algorithms into his computer and suddenly a 3D view of an Osiris appeared at the lab desk.
"Right here you see." Lindemann pointed at the rear part of the reactor.
"I was able to focus the emitters and concentrate energy on them. But as usual the beam collapsed after a few seconds because of the lack of energy. On my second try with that configuration something unexpected happened. The test reactor had a small leak and some deuterium plasma left the core and found its way towards the emitters. Now you see that even though the actual beam did not work like it should, it was focusing the plasma and kind of threw it towards the target."
"Well that's not uncommon. Rheinland is using this for their heavy plasma weapons since some hundred years already."
"Not like that. We used deuterium while they use Mox to produce plasma. And what I wanted to show was that."
Lindemann tipped some other algorithm and the 3D view changed to show the forward part with the Hercules mk 1 cannons.
"If my calculations are correct, and with enough plasma, we should be able to have a focused beam of superheated plasma instead of a single shot like Rheinland weapons. "
The program executed the algorithms now and like Lindemann described the plasma was moving along the axis of the beam and burning the target to dust.
"Well that is it." Lindemann closed the 3D view and turned to face Jason.
"And where are all these new data's now?"
"Secured on this disk. And on the main computer of course."
Lindemann was waving a small silver disk, not much bigger than a CD, in his left hand.
"Well I guess it's best if I take the disk to Minor with the next shuttle."
The doctor handed the small silver disk to Jason and just a moment later the station was shaken.
"What the hell was that? Something wrong with our reactor?"
"I doubt that doctor. It was more like a torpedo hit on the outer hull."
Alarm sounds were starting. Lindemann quickly closed all programs in the lab and prepared for the evacuation protocols. Meanwhile Jason was going for the comm station near the door.
"Commodore Taris to Ichton Control. What is going on out there?"
"Sir! We have multiple enemy contacts appearing on scanners. They came out of nowhere. We got some hits on the hangar bay already and our long range communication is offline. The Psamtik and our defense fleet is engaging the enemy ships at this moment. It appears that the nomads found us."
"Understood. Initiate evacuation protocol zeta 2. Prepare everything to leave this station and then set the self destruction to 3 minutes."
"Understood Sir."
"Doctor I need you to delete any data from the main computer. And also destroy all prototypes we can not get into the transports.We better not let them get anything out of here."
Jason shouted as he ran towards the lift.
