ABDICANT SERAPHINE REFIT PROJECT LOG
LOG 01
N HANAMURA
PRECEPTS
The Dragostea, now identifying as the Abdicant Seraphine, is resting in the West Avelmore Nebula as we had planned earlier on with Leviathan. With the sizable amount of money I have from Bride, Honya and I trading during my administration, We can get the show on the road and refit Seraphine into a dreadnought - Emphasis on the Dread. I want to start these logs with what I have in mind for this project.
Seraphine needs to be a Dreadnought with spacecraft carrying capability - at least being able to accept a few spatials in its' hold along with several smaller fighters. Of course, this won't be as much as say a Aquilon or other Carrier-class vessels, but variable wing modifications are a thing for a reason. The ship will need to hold its own against Kusarian, Core and Order vessels of all stripes.
The Nephilim's loadout seems like a example to follow - guns galore and armor to match. I swear, if it weren't for being a colony ship, That thing would be menacing. That aside. Sera, as soon as Mercury is properly prepared for it - Will be linked up to her. We'll have to see what she's good for. Maybe she can help Honya with Tactics or Navigation. I doubt she's interested in Fire Control. Speaking of, We also need to find out if Birdie didn't give her emotions or if she's a dandere like I think she is.
Engines and new decks will need to be added, we'll be salvaging these from a Shukensha Liner, mainly the Luxury decks and residency decks for personnel. Electronic Warfare equipment, if what Honya is doing with Leviathan bears good fruit - will be good enough to be an annoyance to Kusari's authorities and our (us and Auxesia's) mutual enemies.
Powerplant will need an upgrade. As much as I'd like to get one of IRG's cores to aid the powerplant, I've heard rumors that they can start failing if the ship's powerplant has an abnormality in the system, usually through battle damage. As such I might see if Auxesia or the Junkers have an old Dreadnought reactor or some kind of solution to the powerplant problem.
As for additional hardware, We have a cloaking system we salvaged from AI06, may he rest in peace, that works on Sera already. We will need a Jump Drive - However, we'll have difficult with the powerplant, so I guess the best case scenario is have some space hollowed out and have a ship use the matter transport system to load some kind of fuel for it. Skidbladnir is Moored with Invergordon, and we can use that for Away-from-Home-Plate Recon and Jump Coordinate Surveys. We do need to supplant Rathgrith, however. I'll need to see if Mei can bring a Ahoudori to me, or the Harpies can, possibly.
That aside, Radar will need to removed and replaced with an internal Radome. As neat as it looks, that thing is a easy target and if hit even once, our combat effectiveness will **** the bed. The ship's new design will merge the Aquilon, Shukensha and elements from a old ship that Bride found on the Neural net that came, from the looks of it, some Kusarian organization called JIVA. JIVAHQ.rdrmdl
Someone on /ew/ uploaded a radar model of it a while back - it's really accurate from the looks of it, however, as neat as it looks, Sera would look stupid with those dragon wings. I have Nerva working on revision with just the Aquilon and Shukensha, but I'll be having him try and work concepts from this ship in there as well, namely its' sleek design and the underslung runways for vessels to launch and land from.
I want Seraphine to be something to be feared, and hated by our enemies. Hopefully with these plans, she will be.

If Seraphine is to get around the biggest logistical problem we have - Travelling into and between houses easily, We need to have Sera fitted for a jump drive. As such, I've had to do indepth research into what a Jump drive really is. Honya was able to explain it to me.
A jump drive in the most common sense is a device that utilizes three of the several major schools of quantum mechanics - Quantum entanglement, quantum tunneling and quantum teleportation - to travel hyper-luminally outside of Einsteinian; or in layman's terms - normal space - even possibly passing through other universes in the multiverse whilst doing so. As part of the space time continuum, matter in any universe can, when broken down into the most basic material, be moved to other distant locations through quantum tunneling. Quantum entanglement is done to ensure that the matter is tunneled through space time to its' destination, as quantum entanglement maintains a close connection betwixt similar atoms - say for instance, Hanamura-sensei's body, or her clothes. They are not only close together, but they're made of similar materiel, and in turn, similar atomic structures. When a Jump Drive charges, the drive, when given coordinates or when using the emergency randomized jump system, will begin charging all atoms in its' range (usually within the shield bubble of a ship, outside of fleet jump drives, which have a extended range of around 0.3~ Sirian Units.) with data pertaining to its' 'anchor' particles at the destination, where in space they're located, their contents, structure, density, so on and so forth. Once the charge is complete and the drive is initialized, it will begin rapidly further charging the particles in range to the point where they instantaneously break apart at the time of jump, and then teleported to their destination through quantum tunneling and teleportation. Since this is instantaneous due to various factors we're not too knowledgeable about yet - there is no known conscious or physical death of any lifeforms or damage to electrical components be they quantum or conventional as a result of the jump. As far as we're aware - the jump drives are completely safe - unless the ERJS is being used for exploration, where there is a heavy chance of being teleported into either atmosphere, a sun's corona, a sun, or a black hole.
It's amazing, really. I've honestly somewhat envied that lunatic, Brooks and her goons at THP. Personally, if I were wanting to go the way of Kyle, I wouldn't mind hijacking one of their Bustards and ripping the Jump Drive off of it. However, I feel it would be best to buy one off the black market. Maybe Invergordon has a place I can buy one for. I've heard they're really pricey, as expensive as Sera was when I paid for her originally, But I'm certain it'll be worth it.
The project is going slow, but Alexei is doing surveys of the ship for anything that should be fixed before we go ahead with the refit.

UPDATE / FIRE CONTROL SYSTEM
Alexei and his guys from 11's maintenance team reported that most of Seraphine's systems are ready for the refit. I'll have to meet with Nerva to discuss it in detail. It got me thinking of the weapons systems we'll need. As good as Bride was with Seraphine, she's at her limit on her own. I'm thinking that we'll need Mercury or Alexei operating the FCS along with her.
The weapons loadout's going to be mostly based on the Nephilim, Since I've been experimenting with it in tactical simulations with the rest of the crew. As for weapons platforms, a standard loadout will suffice. 2 Mortars, two VLS Silos, And remaining Main, Secondary and Tertiary weapons systems using a mix of Primaries, Secondaries and Flak Cannons. I'll have to see if we can, down the line, mount some of those experimental guns I saw on the Apahanta back in Omega-3 the other day when we were fighting the Cultists. Zoner Battleship weapons are infamous for their power consumption being lower than bog standard weapons you see laying around Libertonian scrapyards and sold on Shipyards to those select few who actually OWN their own capitals, or to naval forces who need a loadout that can be compatible with other ships' powerplants and FCS hardware/firmware.
If we can deck out Seraphine with some of that High-end tech Ezrael has, or something like it - I have a strong feeling that KNF and even Golly's men will think twice about approaching Sera without Sizable reinforcements. I'm looking at a capital that can hold its own against another dread and even devastate unexperienced capital ship fleets, and hopefully repel bombers. That's my goal, but as long as I have Harpies on station to deal with anyone who tries to bring us down, I'm up for it. Now that I think about it.. placing weapons as to have Six rather than five sets of weapons systems, Nightmares, Mortars, Primaries, Secondaries, Solarises and Flak guns. I can't make gurantees that it'll be entirely effective, but once we hear back from Nerva about the design, I'll plop it into the simulator and see how the loadout fares.
That and apparently the Cultists attacked again, this time at Freeport 11. My inability to come to its' aid has brought me to realize that the Jump Drive I spoke of last time will need to be prioritized. I don't need those bastards attacking 11 or any other Zoner installation, and I'm not about to let them get away with it. The next time that Bustard rears its' ugly head in my general area, I'm going to shove each and every one of those nightmares in its' munitions storage right up their commandant's shiny metal ass.

I'm reminded of the days of Edison Trent during the Nomad War when I think of technology such as Cloaking Hardware - such things were developed for the purpose of bolstering the efforts of Intelligence agencies such as Kusari's Kempeitai, the LSF, Bretonia's MI6 and Rheinland's Büro des Marinenachrichtendiensts. Couple this with Electronic Warfare techniques dating back to pre-space terra, from the Second World War, and the intelligence community of Sirius, when their front-line contemporaries aren't nipping at the bit to gnaw at each other like wild dogs in conflict, prove a very dangerous thing.
I want to replicate this within Seraphine, hence why I have Honya focusing on getting Hardware from Auxesia for such a purpose. What I'm hoping they'll have is one of Liberty's AN/ALQ-3911-C Capital Ship Electronic Warfare Suites from back in 750AS. The thing has three (simultaneous) modes, if Neuropedia is to be believed - Mode A EW Interferes with Neural Net Communications within a certain area, making it so Anyone in range can't easily call for help. Double this with Mode B EW, and we can disorient the enemy by general short-wave radio jamming. Then there's Mode C, which can cause the NCTR systems on ships to report invalid returns, even with those new scanners Ageira and Kishiro have been rolling out. Thing is they were only used on Reconnisance and Espionage vessels. Given the power of one of these things, I doubt Auxesia doesn't have one, or at least has something comparable.
Electronic Warfare is somewhat unappreciated in this day and age, What with everyone and their mother running around with Cloaking hardware like it's going out of style, the old fashioned ways of obscuring one's presence, as well as the ways to hinder others, done by my ancestors, were used to have seemed to go the way the dinosaur. If this is truly the case, then I think Honya and Birdie could possibly come up with some kind of Electronic Warfare technology that will revolutionize such warfare in the modern age. Combine this with getting my hands on some Cloak disruption technology, and we can effectively make the Seraphine something amazing.

UPDATE
Honya informed me that Auxesia can't deliver on the EW kit because the stuff they do have is too high-sec and they don't really have any leeway to give. Given the crap they're dealing with as of late in Kusari and with handing over Operations in the Omicrons to Task Force Providence, not to mention What Leviathan's dealing with in regards to Keeper Raven being incapacitated.
I'll have to scour the black Market for the EW equipment I want. I was going to go the route of hopefully getting it from Leviathan, but alas, life is never easy.
I'm hoping that our chances of hearing back from the Junker Congress aren't as dashed as we thought. I'm heavily questioning the stability of having a Junker installation on the border of Kusari, what with Dragons and what not patrolling the region. Some have said Junkers are the Zoners of the Underworld - in the sense that they're neutral to mostly everyone. Here's hoping they don't turn down Kyle.. if and when they get back to him.
Honya is experimenting with new combat techniques in the simulator, and it seems that having mixed loadout would be inefficient. In that case, We'll go with secondaries and flaks on the auxiliary weapon mounts.
Bride's bored, wondering when we'll do anything interesting, and I'm honestly wondering that too. Sirius at large has been relatively quiet the past few days. No attacks from Cultists, nothing happening at 11.. That and we'll need some way to handle threats if we're without Seraphine.. Possibly another gunship, suited for anti-capital warfare, maybe? I don't know. Either way, The next few months are going to be long, I can just feel it.

UPDATE
The Seraphine has been sitting here whilst we wait for.. 4 different things. I have Nerva working on the design and powerplant, Motoko and ABH working on the engines, IRG working on the Bodies for Mercury and Cassiopeia, and Junkers figuring out whether or not to let Seraphine dock with Vierques for the refit. Honya went into Kepler to check on Graveyard - it's completely gone, and I haven't heard high or low of Kyle.
Bride was recently authorized to hunt for bounties in Liberty. Honya is mainly here keeping things tidy as Auxesia hasn't had much for her to do. Meanwhile I have the two of them hauling supplies every now and again to make a profit to keep us afloat. I've been spending my days watching old Kusarian Dramas... Like I said to Vex.. originality is lost on those people on whatever godforsaken planet or station they film that dreck at. It's more comedy to me than a drama, hence why I've been binge watching it.
Alexei's reported that we need to get Seraphine serviced within the next few months, as the ship wasn't really designed for being away from a shipyard, and given the wear and tear, we're overdue for it. Here's hoping the Congress makes up its' mind soon, before we start having crap break. I didn't spend 500,000,000 SC of our hard earned money to end up having bulkhead failures not even a year into operation.
The emblem we made has finally been implemented throughout the ship, replacing the old Freeport 11 ZDV Dragostea emblem we had. Speaking of that, the Patch Honya made has started to slowly cause power inefficiencies. Something tells me Livadia would expect people to try and bypass the Digital Rights Management systems on the ship's firmware to prevent unauthorized use. It's a double entendre - the Zoners are all about casting aside laws and being minarchists, but the moment you try to use their ships for something other than being a Zoner, they start battening down the hatches on their hardware. She's working on a revision to the patch, but every emulation ends up with a critical powerplant failure that results in a ship computer re-initialization.
I still long to return to Kusari and overthrow the joke of a government that lays there, along with their puppetmasters in the Keiretsu. I'll need Allies, however. Auxesia won't suffice entirely in combat due to their lackluster numbers, and the Dragons are competition. Same with Golden Chrysanthemums. Hogosha, even with that Akira person, won't want to touch me most likely, especially since I plan to screw over both Kishiro and Samura.
Maybe I don't need to. Leviathan has brought defectors unto Auxesia.. why can't I with my own faction? If I can get those in Kusari and its' dissenting factions to see my point of view and join me.. I won't need allies, at least, in Kusari.. not that I should reject them at every turn - If the Hogosha decide that it is in the best interests of Kusari to side with us, then I will welcome it. If the Chrysanthemums feel that the ideals of Yuyu Matsuda align with us, then so be it. If by some strange shift in power, the Dragons decide to work with us and consider the Shogun as either a decorative or Military position (yes, because outside of a cold day in hell, will that ever happen) and abandon their secret aid to Kishiro, then I will not turn them away. There is a fine balance between a military without allies and an military with allies - one that neither outright refuses nor outright welcomes them. One that sees their worth to the cause, one that sees their worth to Kusari's future. Maybe once we overthrow the ****show of a government there and finally put myself at the head of the state, or even simply install a new state where I can go back to living my life in somewhat normalcy, I can enjoy myself without having to endure day after day of conflict and ordeal. Of course, this would be after I throw Golanski out an Airlock and 'rm -rf /' the Nomads, as Bride puts it sometimes.
... I long for the old days.. I long for Earth and my old life before being thrust into this world. I long for a world where we defeated the Coalition and I could spend the rest of my days living my life to the fullest.
But.. I would have never met Honya, Marisa.. Bride.. Mark.. Any of them. I would never have been able to make my father proud and be the captain of my own capital ship. I would never have seen the beauty that is the Sirius Sector,and all the things within. I would never met the Auxesians, the people at Freeport 11, Kyu, or anyone from here. I would never have made as much money as I have now.
It's strange what choices can do to your world. Even those made for you. As nice as home was.. Sirius is my new home.. And although I won't forget Earth or Sol, and will still carry my memories of there as close to my heart as possible, and share them with those willing to listen.. I have come to terms with my fate here. And I wouldn't want it any other way.

UPDATE
The Seraphine has been moved to FOB Maehara in the Sigmas. As long as Namura and the GMG aren't aware of it, the better. That aside, We've currently got two taskings right now whilst we're here:
1. Find the Apahanta
2. Observe Order and Core fleet movements and monitor the situation at 11 from a distance. It's been quiet for the most part after my departure sans that Alessian numbnuts deciding it'd be a brilliant idea to set up that damn Freeport extension - AGAIN.
That aside, I can finally strip off any respect or interest I had in the 'ublyudok' Krsnik, as Alexei calls him. I still remember how he responded to the bastard when he saw the comm from him.
"Coalition military are all the same. They don't care about anyone but themselves. They're programmed like that by the state from the day they enter the academy. Fortunately I was never like that s***heel. You don't need his help. As far as I'm concerned, this ship has all the help you'll need, what with the Harpies being stationed here for the time being. If you still feel miffed about it, I'll be more than happy to put a bounty out for his head - I'd love to put him down personally - a token of recompense to the Commisariat. They took my Parents, I'll take one of their best men and boil him in radioactive material - alive."
As.. concerned as I was for Alexei's mental stability given the latter statement, I can understand why he'd want to do that to him, even though the worst the jackass has done is spew ad hominem - and until now - I would at least give a small attempt to have him spare the bastard. Now I couldn't care less if the SCRA at large had their stations obliterated, their planets scorched to glass and their leaders cleansed in nuclear fire. My father was right, as is Alexei. The Coalition are nothing less than ideologues, desperate to manipulate to gain ground. The moment Auxesia stops working with them is the day their RA ships start being targets.
That aside, we haven't heard from anyone regarding updates as of late. I'll probe Motoko sometime this week about new information for the engines, see how far ABH has gotten. Nerva's latest message was in some kind of code. Honya has been trying using the old hardware from Higan to decrypt it, but we're having a field day trying to find the key. Other than that, we're currently in passive Radio reception mode on most of the equipment. It's eating up quite a bit of power, but we have a supercharger system in place that will recycle the power consumed by the system back into the powerplant's stores as to mitigate any FCS systems downtime.
Honya is working on a custom Shipboard Operating System based on Zoner Linux without the embedded Vessel DRMCS system in the Kernel. It's dug in there, and she's going through about 3.2 billion lines of code to compile a working version without it so we don't have issue shooting first and asking questions later with the blasted low-level FCS controller requesting authorization from the DRMCS in higher functions. She did say she would be having issue with the Trusted Platform Module chip on the main daughterboard which enforces the DRMCS system at a lower level. Due to being post-compiled and the chip itself quantum-based to prevent AI manipulation, she said it would be best to contact a group like the Lane Hackers for any suggestions on how to bypass it. I recall they stole a Zoner Whale, and If I recall correctly, the TPM chip was installed on the Erlanger, which is a first generation whale. I'll have to get a hold of Pomerov and ask him if he wouldn't mind helping me bypass this annoying issue.

UPDATE
So far nothing to report on the Apahanta front. Crew are getting restless about calling off the search. As much as I don't want to let Maren down, I don't want to end up having everyone leave on me. I'm going to try and Send out a hailing call to the Apahanta using our reserve power. Should have a range of around 1-2 lightyears, and given we'll be firing it off on repeat on FTL bands, It should take at least 3-4 months at the most to reach the edge of transmission range. I doubt it'll bear fruit, but it's better than just saying "Oh well, we tried our best, nice knowing you, Vertiga, Hope you don't end up getting probed by some random alien race or some ****!" We'll stay here for at least two more months to await a response. after that I'll leave a comms buoy to try and recieve any responses from him.
Meanwhile, still no response from the Junkers. I'm holding out hoping they'll respond soon, but in the interrim, I'm going to have to bank on the fact it might take longer to get a response and see about getting Honya to wrap up the new firmware for the ship so we don't have to deal with chopshop patches that cause energy inefficiencies.
That will require a call to the Lane Hackers for, so I guess it'd be for the best to get in touch with them.

UPDATE
It's been a while since I gave a Detailed update.
The Seraphine has expanded her crew to optimal amounts. We now have 3 fighter wings, 2 bomber wings and enough crew for the other ships in our fleet as well. Thanks to some old contacts in my days back on Erie and at Freeport 11, I was able to get a crew of Freelancers, Ex-Pirates and quite a few former lawfuls and unlawfuls in our ranks. Some low-ranking disgruntled members of the Blood Dragons - Namely those from the former Augus Clan, A few Hogosha that left after a unsettling situation there - I have a feeling Akira nudged them my way.
I know there's a few GC in the mix, mainly nuggets who left after realizing Cardamine does more harm than good. Other than from Kusari, We've got quite a rag-tag team of misfits from across Sirius. They've warmed up to me in the past month or so. Apart from some conflicts originally, we have quite the team set up. However, if we're going to take on those bastards in the Government of Kusari, I'm going to need more than just my crew on the Seraphine. Soon, once all the preparations are made, We'll move Sera as is to [REDACTED] and make preparations for the conflict.
Pomerov is god knows where, and that means no patch for the DRMCS. I guess I'll need Birdie to take a look at it after the festivities tonight.
The Apahanta returned to Sirius. I'm genuinely happy that Ezrael found his way back to the Sirius Sector. How he did is a miracle, no matter how he exactly did it. I hope Maren is doing well, too.
Susubo and ABH have completed the Jump Drive and developed the Schemata for what I've come to give the designation MF/E-9901 Tamayori-hime Engine. She was also able to manufacture a Working model for us to deploy.
The Jump Drive was secured by Alexei today once we got back to Klaksvik. If it weren't for Auxesia, I would be really interested in rebuilding Klaksvik into a small base of operations. However, I think a Installation somewhere near Kusari would be best, Maehara being the best option for right now. Once the Harpies are done with Initiation, they said they'd be interested in helping me. However.. tonight. Tonight is the night that I brief my crew on the real reason they are here.
Tonight - the Exuberant Lillith makes her Debut.

UPDATE
We started up the Jump Drive for the first time today with two blind jumps using the ERJS. It dropped us into Sigma-59 initially, and then to Omicron Phi. I have to admit, this is honest to god fun, being able to jump around like this. Sadly we only have enough power to jump in and then jump out before the power cells for the jump drive need to be replenished.
This.. also gave me an idea as to how we'll be able to assault the Kishiro offices in Oita. If we use the escape pods to decend to the planet, we can pass through the defense network unscathed, since their radar crosssection is small enough - size as well - that it won't be able to easily track them. Seraphine would proceed to run interference between any KNF vessels and our assault party, only to jump out back to Inverness.
I know Auxesia won't like us bringing guests back, especially if it's the Kaigun, but if we end up yanking one with us, it means we might get our hands on a KNF cruiser or even a battleship if we pull it off right.
What we accomplished today has pretty much ensured the Seraphine is up there in terms of tactical capability. Just think - if we see a nice KNF ship we want.. or someone we want to kidnap - we can just yank them out of Kusari and blast the everliving hell out of them until they're either dead or they give up.
God, I love Jump Drives.
