Jacob Taylor was standing in the Observation Deck of the Horizon, the room that once used to be the Ships Command-Bridge. The Ship and its crew spent the last days in front of Planet Phoenicia, conducting several Scans of the Planet. Jacob walked up to the window to take a look at the big, blue and white Planet. Alex meanwhile slowly walked into the Room, giving him a pat on the back before stopping next to him. "Jacob, got a second?""Sure, what is it?" A slight smile ran across his face while he still directed his view on the planet. "Most of the internal scans of the Planet have finished, only the Mineral Scanner still is running. We also located a few good places to build a base at, I set a few bookmarks for you on the Planetary map. " He paused for a second. "However, your dad - Wynter, wanted me to inform you about something. As you know, the planet is continuously getting colder." After a quick Hand gesture, a Holographic display appeared in front of the two. "We'd need to stop that if we want to construct a base down there, at least... That's what Wynter told me." The smile on Jacobs face faded as fast as it appeared. "That's nothing new... did he find a way to do so?" Another gesture from Alex made the Hologram disappear again. "Yes. Yes he did. We got two options, funny enough, both involve the use of high yield warheads. It's the usual stuff, one Option is fast and cheap, but it is risky. The other option takes a little longer, requires more effort and is pretty expensive. The last one however is the safest option, so I say we should take that one first. Now, I might...""Alex." Jacob interrupted him before letting out a short sigh. "I need a few more information on both the options... Actually, I need a detailed report." Slightly embarrassed, Alex scratches the back of his head. "Sorry Jay, you know I always get excited when Explosives are involved, especially high yield ones." His response caused both to laugh quietly before he continued. "Actually, Wynter told me wanted to send you a detailed report later that day so we might just wait for that." With a smile on his face, Jacob turns around. "Sounds like a plan to me. So, let's not waste any time, I still got a whole new wing to set up." Still smiling, he walks towards the exit-door leading into the Elevator connecting most of the ships levels. "Yea, good luck with that..." He briefly laughs before smiling at the Planet in front of the Ship with his arms crossed behind his back. "...Planet Phoenicia, so that we one day may set afoot on a Planet we call our home."
sorry, I'm a little late. So let me get right to the Point. Alex probably told you that we got two options regarding Planet Phoenicia and that both involve the use of high yield warheads. Let me introduce you to both of then:
First Option:
This option definitely is the safer one, though it takes longer and is a little more costly. The plan is to construct a drilling machine capable of withstand the immense pressure and heat that occur near the planets Core. Next we'd need to slowly dig around the Core, just above it's surface. We would then need around 20 extremely high powered thermonuclear Warheads set off in a chain reaction to more or less jump start the core and get it back into rotation. This will strengthen the Planetary shield and trap more greenhouse gasses inside the planets atmosphere. The biggest problem would be to obtain said drilling machine as we currently lack the resources to build one ourself. I advice you to contact one of these engineering companies like DSE as it would open us the possibility to establish diplomatic relations with some of the, more or less, civilian companies.
Second Option:
Though this one is way more risky, it is cheaper and requires less effort. The idea is to set of a high yield explosive near one of the planets fault lines to cause seismic activity and a Fault Opening. This will either cause a massive release of pressure from the core itself, therefor the release of greenhouse gasses or it will activate a volcano which in the end will do the same thing. The risks with this option however are that, one, the opening of that fault line might push existing ones, therefore causing a planet wide earthquake which will last for several hours and, second, things like ashes from the volcanoes eruption may rise up into the sky creating a black cloud that is blocking the sunlight, this would just further cool the planet down and therefor do the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do.
In the end, that's your decision, but the first one definitely is the best. Anyways, I still got a firmware update I need to apply to the ships server, tell Reval not to activate security systems again, ok? Thanks and, good luck Jacob.
