Details

The Mark I is showing signs of improvement, but there's still a good stretch of work to be done. The exhaust manifolds are more corroded than I first suspected, and that lack of energy to ship systems was definitely a transfer issue. I'd been looking at the couplings behind the rear cockpit panel, but nothing seemed out of place, so I pulled them back, and right inside the junction box was part of the coupling that had been fused into the transfer relay.

Took a good few minutes to pry that piece out, but I'll need another heavy duty coupling to keep these cords fastened. We likely have some in storage, maybe even aboard the Incursus, so I'll make a trip over and see what we have in stock after submitting this update.


On top of this, I've been able to access root functions within the ship's computer, but no dice getting the main OS operational. Diagnostics showed the computer was compiling a large data packet for transfer to the network right as the blackout hit. Normally EMP waves from even ion storms don't trigger a massive data flush, but peak load combined with whatever that blackout really was seemed like too much for the software to handle.

I'm frankly not really sure I can salvage the computer, but I'll keep going through the root systems and see if I can fish anything up. I haven't looked through bypassing it yet, since I value the data in this thing, but I'd rather not go through the whole process of reinstalling an entire bootleg combat OS that I may not even have in storage anymore.


Once I have any further updates, I'll submit them here. So far, not looking too hot for the MkI.

West, out.
