Visiting Vieques

[Switchback]

As Billy looked at the models, he thought for a minute. So just keep in mind I'm not an Engineer by trade, so you may need to dumb some of this down for an old Pirate like myself. That said, I'd like to discuss the logistical side of this technology, and I'm sure Evan would like to get close and inspect the models while we talk. Hearing what Billy said, Evan started walking over to one of the High Temperature models, taking care not to touch any of the hot pieces of metal.

So I have a few questions logistically, primarily regarding spare parts and maintenance. Once Operational, Nightmare could end up on the opposite side of Sirius, far from Vieques. Should that happen, how will we handle spare parts and such? Now routine service can be scheduled, but if Nightmare ends up on the loosing end of a fight and needs a major overhaul, we may be stuck in an Allied Shipyard for repairs. How would this be handled?

As Billy and Rell discussed Logistics concerns and some contract related things, Evan looked over the system, taking a few measurements as he went. As he was close to the model, the radiant heat started to make him perspire, much to his annoyance. Complete with his initial analysis, he walked back over to Billy and Rell. Mighty Interestin' concept I must say, but I got a problem. This heat. Space is cold as a politicians heart and a ship with a high heat profile will be hella' easy to track and target. And if we don't vent the heat to space, we'll end up all cookin' like a goddang Hardboiled egg.

Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.
