Topic: Restarting Environmental Control and Life Support System


We prioritized addressing the emergency: restoring the Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS). I redirected most of the team's efforts towards this task.
Half the team was assigned to map the system's conduits and circuitry. A quarter focused on repairing the airlock system and its subsystems, while the rest worked on sealing the ship to make it airtight.
For this, I opted to use a nanobot-infused foam reinforced with a metallic microlattice. This foam will ensure airtight compartments while being easily removable, which will be crucial as we work on Vega’s armor incrementally.

The sealing team completed their task within a week, with no accidents or injuries reported.
The microlattice has so far held up well under the extreme conditions of the Seth Nebula.
No additional damage was discovered during this phase, and the initial damage report remains accurate.

The airlock team, however, encountered numerous issues, taking a full month to restore functionality.
Here’s a summary of the challenges we faced:

• The old Rheinland software had to be entirely overwritten.
  
• 70% of the airlocks were scrapped, with 80% of those located near the hull.
  
• Due to ongoing modifications, some airlock replacements and installations have been postponed until the new ship layout is finalized.
  
• Denis lost a finger when Laurens decided to tinker with the pressure settings on the side pistons. No other injuries were reported.
  

The ECLSS team successfully mapped the entire system and repaired the main components.
It is currently running on an external generator and will be integrated into the ship’s primary and secondary power systems once ALG gives the go-ahead.
It’s worth noting that Laurens’ meddling caused another issue: an overload of the secondary electrical system triggered an alarm that blared incomprehensible Rheinlander gibberish for ten minutes.
While annoying, it prompted us to upgrade the alarm system to something clearer and more effective.

After a month of effort, the inner sections of the ship now has a fully operational ECLSS.

I’ll reassign most of the team to address more pressing matters while keeping a small group on standby to expand the ECLSS into newly repaired rooms or sections.

Side note:

• Laurens has gone missing
  
• Banging noises were heard on the hull but stopped after 30 seconds.
  
• No further investigation about it is required at this time.
