The refit of the Liberty Carrier
ARGONAUTE

---

James Creed again here,

After my last visit to Washington Shipyard i was pleasently pleased with the response regarding the ordering of my special weapons and have decided to pay another visit to the installation and talk with the grease monkey again Atkins and see if there is any progress on the said weapons.

Meanwhile the Argionaute has just been fitted with a Hyperspace Beacon unit which can summon a fleet of vessels to its location if it encounters overwhelming forces, this will be such a strategic advantage to Liberty forces and especially Capital ships who find it hard to keep up with the fighter support vessels in some cases.

Of course this hyperspace Beacon system will only be used within the confines of Liberty space and not used for any other means.
and on another note I have ordered and it is ready to fit once it arrives is a Jump Drive 4 unit which can also jump an entire fleet to a specific location, once again if there is a liberty ship in trouble this will be a key advantage.

So I am now on my way to Washington and have hitched a lift on an Interdictor heading for the shipyard because it has propulsion problems and seeing as I know the Captain of the Highlander it is a much appreciated lift and I will buy him some beers later in the bar.

On arrival Atkins is knee deep underneath the hull section of the Argonaute and appears to be shaking his head, well "Mr.creed " he said "the last little test you did was a little too strenuous for this girl at the moment when you encountered that Arbiter and decided to give her a run out properly the hull has received some intense damage from the weapon blasts."

So i informed him that if he fixes the problem i will make sure on the next test fligth I stay close to Washington and dont do anything silly with her.

The encounter with the Arbiter was when me and the Highlander were doing the Hyperspace beacon test and he came up on radar and while a Liberty main force of ships that were operating in the area dealing with some Rogues we had to do something, so we decided to engage him but he went into the Badalnd area which is really difficult for a Capital ship to traverse and he got stuck very easy and we exchanged fire and eventually took him down, with some damage taken unfortunately.

Atkins had been talking to his chief engineer who had been labelled with getting the order sorted for my special weapons and he politely informed me that they would be built from scratch and would be available within the next 30 days seeing as the demand for such equipment has been low lately.

So I asked him to proceed with the relevant order and I handed over payment for the items securely and safely and now it is just a matter of time waiting to get confirmation they are here and I will personally oversee the fitting of the weapons once they arrive and also be storing the surplus weapons for the second Atlantis Carrier that will be using them.
