At last her, the finest ship of the Sirius, the Libeccio was restored to it's former glory. I hope with all that diagnostics and analysis the former bugs will disappear too.
Flavia worked on the core system like a beast (she is a beast in every sense when words comes to maintenance of the Libeccio).
Rusty supported her with his rough power, even if he is still walking with a limp. I see him sometimes frowning, probably it still hurts, but never would say a word on it, even less before Flavia.
Our first route was
- 1. operation:
TYPE: <<Encryption code #D'ORO PIGLIATO#>>
FROM: Inverness, JunkYard repair bay
TO: <<Encryption code #PATRIA ANTICA#>>
- 2. operation:
TYPE: <<Encryption code #ORANGE JUICE#>>
FROM: <<Encryption code #PATRIA ANTICA#>>
TO: <<Encryption code #NIDO DEL XAVIER#>>
- 3. operation:
TYPE: <<Encryption code #CATASTA DEL TESCHIO#>>
RECIPIENT: <<Encryption code #ZIO VERDE#>>
FROM: <<Encryption code #NIDO DEL XAVIER#>>
TO: <<Encryption code #ROCCIA PERDUTA#>>
Meanwhile the 3rd operation we received the message from <<Encryption code #SIG. CARINO#>>, and as we was willing to help, our next operation was taken according that message.
We made 5 turns in the 4th operation:
TYPE: <<Encryption code #CATASTA DEL TESCHIO#>>
FROM: <<Encryption code #VICINI DI MADRE#>>
TO: <<Encryption code #CATASTA DEL TESCHIO#>>
We aren't really lucky though. It happened again, just before the jump drive initiated and we had left not long ago the most secure place I ever knew for a Junker ship like the Libeccio, the shield failed again, and the core begins dazzling with a very unusual output signal. For few minutes, Flavia was even worried that we would blow up, but the core remained stable, just...this signal. The comm system reboot just after that occurred without any input. It's just crazy. I'm not an engineer, Flavia is, but that has no sense. She was furious, and I can understand, Rusty must've hold her strict to not kick the main computer.
After a while we all chilled out, and stopped in the no-mans land floating silently, we ran all the diagnostics we have:
- HFSR (Holistic Firewall Status Report)
- SHIR (Ship Hull Integrity Report)
- PAD (Pressure Anomaly Detection)
- LSHR (Life Support Historical Report)
- CLSHR (Crew Life Signal Historical Report), who knows, maybe we were just hallucinating
- RaTA (Radiation and Toxic Analysis)
- even the ML (Maintenance Log)
- Flavia came to use the SIMAR (Shape and Image Model Analyzer Radar) inside the ship and around the hull searching for....something, anything, but nothing. Still we laughed a lot watching the monitor when it analysed Rusty, me, then Flavia too. The SIMAR got even a level-to-level X-ray, you can imagine. Shame but Flavia shoot it down right before had became interesting.
It was a nice 4 hour work and revealed a great nothing.
The Libeccio, her majesty is well and sane like a newborn Rhineland battleship. As my dad used to say, "tutto a posto, ma niente in ordine"
We agreed with Flavia on setting up some real time monitoring for the computer core, and the secondary systems. It takes a lot of energy, but maybe it worth.
This time, we wasn't in danger, but who knows what will happen again.
Against these worrisome facts, the profit was nice and we found the time to help the congress too.
