The Caussade Project (Completed)

[Lionel Bourcher]

You try, you try. And you fail. So you keep trying. Try a different way, get hope into your heart, and you fail once more. And on and on it goes.

But I am getting ahead of myself. It all started many months ago, when we decided to make the drydock. Natio Octavarium and their tons of materials started it all. We got our engineers on the job and over many months preparations and work was going splendidly.

I couldn't believe what the Sirian has accomplished right afterwards. Combined with his combat skills and ruthlesness, I can say that Christopher Hunter is not a Gaul, he is not a Sirian. He is a Maquisard through and through. He single handedly negotiated with the sirian group Fae, dealt with all logistics and payments, and saw to an end a contract with them in a speed I couldn't ever even dream of.
With this from Fae, thanks to Christopher, it was ready.

It was all fucking ready! I could see Pamiers getting her glorious repaired sisters, ready to take on it's first challenge under our banner. All thanks to the Caussade drydock.

And this is where it started. Planet Elne's massive gravitational pull doing it's work on the rising structure, the asteroid field around it being even worse. Again and again the massive yet frail frame crumbled sooner or later under the pressures. Balian Remi and his engineers have been doing their best, but it just isn't meant to be.

I don't understand engineering, I keep getting shocked at how fast the Sirians are handling logistics. And now we are fucking left with thousands of tonnes of material just sitting there, waiting.

I suppose it must be done. We must do what we have been often reluctantly doing out of desparation. We must rely yet on another group of Sirians. The Coalition have offered to send us their engineers. Apparently they are extremely well versed at battleship and battleship capable base contruction repair and maintenance. We don't really know them. All we have to go by are several brief contacts and the massive amounts of praise Action Revolutionnaire, the now defunct Maquisard cell has scattered all over their records on our bases.

The plan now instead of a full fledged dry-dock is to:

---

Modify the existing base structure and mooring points enough so they can handle battleship retroffiting, repair of heavy damage and maintenance for the FLG. I hope to god that our people and the Coalition engineers can make it happen.
