'Item No.52'

Progress goes on as planned. Every so often a mild breakthrough takes place. 'Amp' worked out a working iteration of this so called battery. A miniature model that can output enough energy to enable the usage of two prototype weapons out of the bunch. Of course...everytime you try to squeeze a little more power the fuses break and the battery heats up like crazy.

Oh, right. Peak lifetime reached 53 minutes in a controlled environment. At least it kind of lives. 'Amp' keeps working out the kinks as time goes on while I do the field work. He's proving more reliant by the day.

So...a few days have passed already since I got those ships. A 'Rebel' and an 'Aggressor' to be precise. I wish they were in better condition, but that would have defeated the whole purpose of getting two barebone platforms to work with.

Both are lacking in the reliability department. Hull's all rusted and the powercore has seen better days, but there is plenty of room for customization once the general issues are sorted out. T-3 is leading the efforts to bring the Rebel in working condition. 'Amp' suggests we use it as a platform for the 'Item No.52' prototypes. These two ships are the top priority right now.

Oh, right! 'Thor Mk.I' is done for, and the Valkyrie is out of comission until it received some overdue attention. 'Viper' held her part of the bargain and delivered a 'fully functional powercore. 'Amp' had it checked out for any trackers or blockers. Only thing that came up is that there were certain modifications to what kind of weaponry it can handle. Specifically those new irons that came out of the Buro's factories. I should be able run everything else just fine though. No more compatibility errors! Finally.

I'll spend the next few days doing maintenance. And uh...find a buyer for this butchered powercore. Don't know. 'Amp' suggested we use it for a backup scarecrow. If it blows up with the battery prototype then at least it won't be anything expensive that's lost. ...I mean. It still was about five million credits back in the day. Now it definitely ain't work that much. That piece of tech did its job.
