Dreadnought Ravager, Vespucci system
-------Day 21 - Midships Electronics Rework

-----The ship was finally beginning to look like she had a decade ago, the hull of the ship showing very visibly where the old armor met the new, the pock marked holes and dents, scrapes and burns slowly being replaced by new, admittedly charmless armor that at least gave the crew aboard a sense of security in the midst of their ship being a sitting duck.

The work was going well, each piece slotted in without much effort, while the inside of the ship was gutted one compartment at a time, rewired, reworked, refitted, and redone. The amount of filament and cabling was truly immense.

Fifty kilometers so far, and they were only halfway finished, roughly. Each extra meter seemed more exhaustive than the last, the distance traveled to simply install all this wiring feeling like a weight on the sheer possibility of this refit.
It wouldn't be easy. Not by a long shot.


However, with each new stretch of wiring, the ship grew significantly more responsive. Opposed to the old, the new was faster, stronger, more reliable, and admittedly rather lustrous. Tests of it even impressed the people installing them.
Regardless, it was the conclusion of the third week of work, and the engineers certainly had progress to show for their efforts. The ship, like with the armor, presented a very noticeable contrast between the old and new. Lights shined brighter the more aft one went, and the nose of the ship was practically black, the only light being that which the suns provided.

Though a light certainly seemed to shine forward.
The light powered by the hundreds of extra kilometers of wiring they'd need.
