The Core still don't know who we really are, I had to use this opportunity as soon as possible and ask them for help just because Loyola wasn't asnwering fast enough. I didn't want to lose this ship, not now. The Core did its best, they brought Gallic Ship Hull Panels, salvaged by Junkers from New London's graveyard, they provided us with needed equipment and manpower for swift repairs. 4 days later we've got our hull fixed, all decks are clean again and work on interior can begin.
Iota
We are heading to Altair now... I am surprised we managed to reach Iota without rising any suspicion. In normal circumstances We'd exterminate any praying eyes upon us, however we lost more than half of our weapons in Orkney... Not to mention connection between several hardpoints and reactor were damaged or completely destroyed.
I hoped it wouldn't come to this day... But I will have to go and try the tactic of Iseijin which they used during repairs of Musashi. This move however will reveal who we are... The cover, years of hard work will be wasted. I knew it would come to this day... Not so soon however.
