Subject: Fafnir: Repairs
Sirs,
the repairs on the HFC-Fafnir are coming along slowly. There was severe damage to the microstructure of nearly all hull compartiments. Even as we speak, atmosphere is still escaping into space, because we couldn't fix all the microfissures yet.
The engineers from Phoenix startet superheating, melting and restabilizing the hull, but it is a very slow process - the Fafnir won't be ready for any travels for another two weeks at least, let alone combat situations...
Another thing - there's been an increasing amount of equipment malfunctions. So far, nothing serious came of it, just a couple of bruises. But already two power couplings blew out in the last 24 hours alone. If it hadn't been for some extra precautions on the part of the repair crews from Phoenix, the whole ship might've been decompressed and the crew along with it.
I request another security squad at the airlock, to make sure no unauthorized personnel enters the ship...
Thank you.
