Shirayuki Niwa stood and watched as swarms of powered engineering suits swarmed over the hull of the battlecruiser Yuubari. Shirayuki stood in an observation bay on the starboard side of the assault carrier currently anchored alongside the Yuubari, observing the engineering crews as they thoroughly checked the hull and outer surfaces of the ship. "Ugh. This thing, even for salvage, is in pretty poor shape." She looks down at the tablet computer in her hands, the device receiving input from both the carrier's scanning arrays and the portable scanners used by the engineers. "Most of the hull plating will need to be replaced. The power relays are shot, working only at 10% capacity. The reactor itself seems to be on its last legs."

Displayed on the tablet's screen is a 3 dimensional model of the Yuubari, color coded to show all of the damage and non-functioning parts of the ship. Most of the model was colored red, denoting heavy damage. Some areas were marked in either black, denoting a total loss, or yellow, denoting repairable damage. The only section marked in green is the propulsion and engine assembly, which is the only part of the ship that's undamaged and functional. "The list of things to replace or repair is heavy. Weapons systems, power relays, the whole shield system, information and electronic warfare systems, navigation systems, hull plating. Arrggh. Then the AI mainframe has to be installed, the hangar bay has to be modified and converted to accept our craft. This is going to take a while. We're going to need to get friend and allies involved to help get this thing working again." Shirayuki sighs as the weight and extent of the project crashed down like a ton of bricks.
