RECONSTRUCTION HAS BEGUN 3/3

---

The new bulkheads and partitions, new electrical grid, life support and data lines were successfully installed. As we expected and anticipated, crew space in the armored citadel was reduced by 15% as all these new lines were routed through the ceiling or floor.

Valletta engineers reinforced the hangar and storage areas with additional support beams. These modifications should increase the structural integrity of the entire future hangar space. The anticipated vibration problems are expected to be reduced, although not eliminated, by these solutions.

The installation of the mainframe hardware was uneventful. It is estimated that the new quantum multiplexers will increase the computing power of the vessel's computers by a factor of 53. The Amalfi is equipped with one primary mainframe with two smaller backup mainframes for increased computing power and redundancy. These computers are expected to command and control the robotic crew on board and coordinate their activities when needed, especially during damage control and maintenance.

Our main problem has been with counterfeit software. While the software was successfully installed on the Amalfi's mainframes and terminals and a communications link was established - however, the communications nodes were overloaded as we tried to control all of our robots, resulting in several conflicting, delayed, or undelivered commands.
As the rebuild nears completion, my lead engineer has been tasked with debugging these new systems and finding the causes of these issues along with proposing solutions.

Our current level of automation is estimated at 80%, but these initial problems are seriously reducing the combat capability of our vessel. As a result, our vessel will not be fully combat-ready after launch and we will have to spend a longer period of time trying to find solutions to our shortcomings.

Final adjustments and fine-tuning will be made after the shakedown cruise, as we need to measure the vibration and balance issues in flight.

IN CONCLUSION

---

• The power and cooling capacity increased by 15% while the available living space was reduced by 15%. The powergrid is stable within +/- 2.5% tolerances, cooling systems are able to handle all the new equipment and machinery.
  
• Reduced extent of a structural integrity issues around the central hangar area. Cruise speed no longer causes serious vibrations in these areas.
  
• The mainframe hardware increased computing power by factor of 53. The maximum potential of quantum computing is unknown. Counterfeit Software will require additional tuning as the whole communication network is prone to overloads.
  
• The estimated level of an automation 80%, but further tests will be need in order to confirm this estimation or calculate real deviation.
  
• The final adjustments of an armor plating to balance the vessel out will be done after shakedown trials.
