"Kongou" was hiding in shadows for three days. Tatsori knew that with only two people onboard they will not survive for long and she started to search for associates. Luckly, there was a huge numbers of Zoners who supported Kongou in her ideals. One day passed and Battlecruiser's crew was counting as 105 people which been treat to each other as one big family. They are started to call themselves "Lightseekers", which tempt to reach the Light, described in Nomadic ideologies.
After three days of traveling and hiding, "Kongou" finaly returns to it's home. Zelinskiy was pretty excited by the Nomad Remains and his experiments was unbreakable since he got a tools from Kirishima. But handicraft lab onboard of Battlecruiser was not enough to keep his experiments, so he moved his equipment back on Freeport.
Grigroiy stands near a drydock and talks to one of "Kongou" crew. He holds somesort of tablet and shows it to his assistant.
- So I need this equipment in my main lab for now. Can you transfer it?
He gave his assistant a tablet with a list of equipment.
- Will do, Doctor. See you in two hours in your lab. Be safe.
He salutes and goes back to "Kongou"'. Five minutes passed and Grigoriy finaly approaches his main lab. Everything is been where's it was left. Monitors, tools, even his coat was untouched. He activated his interface and started to analyse the data.
"Hm... I can only imagine which technologies this thing contains... We certainly don't know much about the old Nomads technologies, but with these new, evloved ones... Hm... Let's see... They have something like a Power Core... Which serves as an engine energy generator too... That means they can reproduce their own kind of energy to fly within an open space... I need to scan one of their alive entity more closely... Maybe using this information, I could make some sort of hybrid technology... Need to meet with Tatsori, this depends some blueprints of "Kongou" engines structure.
He went out of his laboratory, heading to Tatsori's meditating room.
Looks like nothing has changed to Tatsori. She was sitting in her chair as usual, spectating the star and thinking about her own.
Grigoriy knocked two times on wall and cleared his throat.
- Miss Kongou?
Tatsori raised her head and answered:
- Good evening, Doctor. Is there are anything that you want from me? In other case you could not interrupt my meditation.
Grigoriy felt a bit discomforted because of her words.
- I think that I can make some new upgrades for your ship. Hovewer, that would take more than usual. Maybe three months, maybe four. What do you think about modifying "Kongou"'s engines?
Tatsori's attantion was growing up.
- You are free to do everything with my ship. Hovewer, don't break it. But I think that you actualy need something from me.
- Yes, as always, you are right. I need a blueprints of Battlecruiser Engine structure.
She smiled. Tatsori has activated her interface and searched down for "Kongou" structure. After she found it, she selected the section with an engine and sent it to Zelinskiy.
- Done.
Grigoriy has checked his interface. He found a detailed information about an engine and got confused.
- Is that all?
- Did you expected to see something else? "Kongou" Engine was made in the best meaning of minimalism, there's nothing else than H-Fuel storages, tubes and ignitors. Now if you excuse me... Would you kindly leave me with my thoughts?
Grigoriy felt some sort of fear. He know that he couldn't make Tatsori angry.
- My bad. Good bye.
He went outside Tatsori's room and headed back to his lab. Young lady still was meditating at the sun, but looks like her consciousness was beyond our plane. .
