On the Crosspath

[RedEclipse]

Christian vaguely remembered their swift conversation through neural net with Daniel, back then Christian was busy with urgent work to restore the outer armor and organising security of Kadesh after the alien incursion into the station's perimeter. "That's right, I already contacted you about this. To be honest, I had somewhat forgotten about our communication - at that time, I had a bizarre idea and contacted you swiftly while its been rolling in my mind." He put his beer glass on the table and pushed it slightly to the side, picked up the sample and turned it over in his hands. "Quite heavy for such a small sample." He looked at it more closely. "An unusual white shade, not at all like Hyperion's armor. As I understand it, you decided to start from scratch, without using our usual alloys?" he said, placing the specimen in the center of the table.

James picked it up and looked at it appraisingly. "Obviously much heavier than the original armor, but nothing compared to my day today," he said, putting the sample back down and taking a big gulp of beer. "I don't think it will greatly affect the ship's maneuverability. And considering we have a new power plant, there's no such thing as too much armor..." Christian interrupted him. "What about the material's characteristics? If we're basing this on the best armor in our arsenal for capital ships and stations? What about the expected technical characteristics? Have virtual or physical destruction tests been conducted?"
