Project Disaster

[Moka's Loyalists]

Day 408, Hangar Main, The Nonsense Factory, Cassini system, 1.52 pm

Moka had returned from exile, almost a year after the ship was thought to be complete. He had been on-board the Unnatural Disaster for this time, making minimal contact with any Rogue. Over this time he had discovered a crucial problem with the modified Sarrissa cooling system, it could not keep the weapons systems cool enough to fire. As Buster was missing in Action, presumed to be dead, Thing took it upon herself to oversee the testing and troubleshooting of the ship. Almost instantly the problem was noticed, the cooling system was unable to reduce the cores temperature after a short flight. This was only the beginning of the bad news. The weapons test showed a similar result, the cooling systems were failing. The ship was proving to be inefficient as the weapons quickly overheated.

Not long after the Disaster was moored safely on The Nonsense factory, work began to replace the piping for the cooling systems, everyone had crossed their fingers, working quickly, hoping for their own lives that this was what was causing the problem.

PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: Greetings Ma'am
2014-02-13 02:13:01 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: Howdy.
2014-02-13 02:13:08 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: Ready for the test?
2014-02-13 02:13:19 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: I am.
2014-02-13 02:13:48 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: Ok, hopefully this time these bleedin' guns don't over heat.
2014-02-13 02:14:02 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: Or my guts are garters
2014-02-13 02:14:20 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: Something like that.... Yeah.
2014-02-13 02:14:52 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: It... it umm.... It appears the guns are taking an age to cool down from the cruise.
2014-02-13 02:15:10 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: *Raises an eyebrow* Who is head engineer on this thing?
Discovery Freelancer is a role-playing server. All attacks must be the result of some form of role play. Shouting "Engaging" or "Halt" is not sufficient.
2014-02-13 02:17:32 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: Was, err... Buster. But after returning back from his exile, Lord Moka has instructed every one to get this ship working.
2014-02-13 02:18:04 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: Buster.... Right.... So essentially there is no one in charge?
2014-02-13 02:18:37 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: Well I got shoved into the hot seat, and here we are. I don't wanna die!!!
2014-02-13 02:19:34 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: Well here's hoping you managed to make this heap of scrap work.
2014-02-13 02:19:51 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: *grumbles* Ready for the test fire, Ma'am?
2014-02-13 02:19:59 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: More to the point, are you?
2014-02-13 02:20:24 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: Y-yes Ma'am. Firing Secondaries broadside in 3.... 2.... 1....
2014-02-13 02:21:07 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: Damnit! Over heating again!
2014-02-13 02:21:17 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: That was only the secondaries too...
2014-02-13 02:21:30 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: Well then......
2014-02-13 02:21:49 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: Testing one salvo of primaries. Are you ready?
2014-02-13 02:22:12 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: Resetting guncams..... Alright, that should be good to go. When your ready.
2014-02-13 02:22:28 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: Firing in 3... 2... 1...
2014-02-13 02:22:58 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: Over heated again!
2014-02-13 02:23:07 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: This isn't looking good.
2014-02-13 02:23:25 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: After one salvo..... It isn't looking good at all....
2014-02-13 02:23:46 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: Cerberus turrets next, Ma'am.
2014-02-13 02:24:01 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: Alright, resetting gun cam's..... And when you're ready.
2014-02-13 02:24:09 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: Give me a couple of minutes to cool down the core.
2014-02-13 02:24:29 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: Right..... Overheating..... You better look into fixing this problem pretty quick smart.
2014-02-13 02:25:31 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: Preparing to fire Cerberus turrets.
2014-02-13 02:25:43 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: 3... 2... 1...
2014-02-13 02:26:15 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: Let me guess.....
2014-02-13 02:26:31 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: Please, Ma'am! Don't kill me! It's not my fault!
2014-02-13 02:27:01 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: Oh believe me.... It's not me you will have to worry about.
2014-02-13 02:27:26 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: Err.. *scurries to the restroom quickly*
2014-02-13 02:27:44 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: *Mutters* I guess that'll give it time to cool down again.....
2014-02-13 02:29:22 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: If this overheating continues, this ship will be useless...... What cooling systems do you currently have in place.
2014-02-13 02:32:04 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: A modified Sarissa core, with Sarissa cooling. But it seems we've missed something
2014-02-13 02:33:07 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: I would suggest you get someone who knows what they are talking about to check the wiring and fuses.....
2014-02-13 02:33:51 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: Y-y-yes Ma'am. Testing mortar in 3... 2... 1...
2014-02-13 02:34:45 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: Annnnnddddd...... Where is the mortar? I don't see it.
2014-02-13 02:35:01 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: Err... not cool enough Ma'am....
2014-02-13 02:35:48 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: This is a big problem, kiddo.
2014-02-13 02:36:02 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: It's going to fire, I swear on my life!
2014-02-13 02:36:53 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: Lets just say you're lucky you're in that ship right now, and that I don't want to have to explain the un-necessary
2014-02-13 02:36:57 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: Repairs
2014-02-13 02:37:07 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: *nervous laugh is heard*
2014-02-13 02:38:10 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: Hows the temperature looking?
2014-02-13 02:38:43 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: It's getting there but it appears the cooling levels don't meet minimum requirements for the mortar yet.
2014-02-13 02:39:33 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: In a battle, you would have got Moka killed by now.
2014-02-13 02:39:55 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: N-no Ma'am, I'd never sign this off before it was ready for the Lordship.
2014-02-13 02:40:14 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: I am amazed he didn't need to use his guns while in exile
2014-02-13 02:40:23 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: Yes.... Well..... By the looks of this, you wont be here -to- sign off on it.
2014-02-13 02:40:43 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: No!!! Please! It is not my fault!
2014-02-13 02:42:27 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: *Shrugs* I suggest you get it sorted then. Why haven't you got an engineer there looking into it now?
2014-02-13 02:44:13 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: I have -all- the engineers looking at it. Shooting the ones that look confused.
2014-02-13 02:44:45 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: WE GOT IT!
2014-02-13 02:44:53 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: Thing: Ten minutes later.....
2014-02-13 02:44:53 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: IT FLIPPIN' FIRED!
2014-02-13 02:45:19 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: *composes ones self* Well, erhmm... Ma'am, success. I think our engineers have sources the issue
2014-02-13 02:45:47 SMT
PLR:Microsoft.Works: And what would that be.
2014-02-13 02:47:04 SMT
PLR:Unnatural.Disaster: MW: Reintergration of coolant from reactor to guns, the piping is too small. Larger installation of piping -should- remedy that

Day 408, Hangar Main, The Nonsense Factory, Cassini system, 10.47 pm

The hanger was almost silent as the engineer from the testing found Thing. "It.....It's done..... The problem has been fixed." She nods and follows him to the ship, ready for the great un-veiling.
