I am the Captain of the Liberty Carrier Argonaute which is undergoing an enormous refit at the moment and I am thinking that this baby of mine could do with some improved firepower for my gunners to have fun with while we engage the nasty individuals who traverse the Liberty skies and cause so much trouble.
We have had the vessel into dry dock for a great number of months to intensify hull integrity and to try and make shield capacity greater, but that has proved to be ineffective at present and we will have to make do with the shields that are currently fitted.
My crew have been hard at work assembling the bridge as the final stages of the overall refit of the inside of the Argonaute and we have totally gutted the shell and made it an impressive interior with new firing mechanisms for the gun batteries and improved scanning equipment to identify hostiles quicker and easier.
Placement of the gun batteries has been hard because we need to fit some rather impressive weapons to this ship which in turn will turn it into a super fortress and will hopefully be invincible once its done.
So I have come today back to Washington Shipyard in Virginia where the original models of these vessels were made so as to see how the refit is coming on, welders doing last minute touches to the hull and supplies and ordinance being loaded which means the kitchens must be nearly done and also as i step aboard I find out that the Bridge is now complete with all new control panels and communications array.
Leaving the ship i make my way to the Equipment requisition area and get hold of the chief grease monkey who looks after all the refits in the establishment and I hand him a piece of paper with a list of some modified weapons that I have heard i can acquire if I have the necessary funding, and the funding i will need is not your usual Sirius credits ... no no ... the commodity needed for buying the said weapons is found deep in outer sections of certain systems in Sirius and I have been able to acquire this commodity from numerous individuals who offer their services for a rather large fee.
Chief Atkins who is the best man I know at fixing things looks at the piece of paper and shakes his head telling me these items will be hard to source......
The list reads
1 x E.M.P Disipation field
which apparently can take down snub shields at a specific distance if they come too close
1 x Autopulse turret
which again takes down shields with a volley of projectiles which fire non stop
1 x Terminator turret
Not quite sure what this does but looks pretty good
1 x Heavy Ion Turret
Again not much known but ive been told its good
1 x Sledge turret
Heavy hitting turret apparently
1 x Kinetic turret
this one packs a punch too
1 x Volley cannon
another hartd hitting turret
Well a list this size is enough for two ships says Atkins and that is where I come in and tell him that I will be acquiring another Liberty Carrier in the next few months which will have a refit aso and use some of the spare weapons that I am buying.
Chief Atkins tells me he will make some enquiries and get the weapons sorted as quickly as he can and have them fitted to Argonaute as soon as humanly possible.
So I board my Bison Transport for now and depart from Washington Shipyard Heading back to Manhatten to finish my days work.
Also I pleasently sit and ponder over the possibility of taking control of the Argonaute as soon as humanly possible which will make me the happiest Captain in the Liberty navy.
