ALCON,
Initial inspections of the Judicator class vessel proved that, for the most part, she is far more intact than any other of her damaged kind. Flight deck sections are completely inoperable and collapsed due to fuel tank detonations and leakages of the fire suppression system which, in combination with other stowed gasses, have produced intense deterioration in the metal. This includes a midsection tank which was directly ruptured when a section starboard side, measuring approximately 12 m by 8 m, was completely torn open by presumably Liberty Navy weapons fire. Clean-up efforts are underway to remove the clouds of gas in that section and to clear the flight decks of all toxic chemicals. The vessel’s internal structure, however, appears to be relatively intact. I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable jumping her just yet, though. A more thorough examination of the spine of the ship is necessary.
I’m pleased to report that due to the efforts of my Chief Engineer we have been able to restore the reactor aboard to a moderate level of power generation. He warns me, however, that placing too many stresses on the system will likely overload and cause a shutdown sequence. As a result, I anticipate that we will be limited, until such time as a proper drydock period can be commenced, to engines, shields, and of course the drum section itself. I’m told that commencing an engine burn without the drum in motion would cause extreme damage due to how the Insurgency built these ships up, though the exact reason why is somewhat beyond me.
I anticipate next steps will be to commence attempts at lighting the engines and starting the drum, with the intended destination of Bristol Bay for close examination and possible restoration.
