T-5 sent me a message. The team did some progress so I went back to Coronado to check. A few theorems later they gave me the rough estimate of how a suitable powercore would look like. Now of course those schematics are complete ass and not something to rely on. They suggested a standard issue powercore for starters - and then just...shove a Power Cell. So yeah, no. Fat chance I'm doing that.

Spent the night brainstorming solutions. The most promising one is a separate power supply in addition to the unmodified powercore of my Valkyrie. Like a battery I can plug in, adjust a few things and have 'Amp' do the rest. Guns will feed off of that while the rest of the ship and its functions will carry on as normal. Now I just need a way to contain that kind of power.

Now the downside of all this is that I can't store an indefinite amount of energy. Maybe to last about...I don't know. With the resources I have right now I could make it strong enough to last four days - give or take a shootout or two every few hours. Now if I bring this to the Final Journey? It'll be a close call. I'm expecting the ship to be under a lot of stress. Battery might burn out from several factors. Power might run out in the middle of an engagement too. In a nutshell there's quite a few downsides that will get the better of me in the long run, but at least its something that can be done. Right,

'Amp' will be working on a few variants. He says it'll take at least a few weeks. Best next thing I can do until then is stay alive and keep the technocrats away from Liberty with the Xenos.

Oh, right. I should mention that negotiations with Damien went through. Negotiations...? C'mon. I asked for a favor and he did agree. Some more firepower for myself and a more honest approach to a common enemy. Chances are Raven won't like the idea, but she doesn't have to know why I do it - only that I'm sorry for keeping up the hostilities despite our talks.
