After Etien had finished forming his gang with the Legionnaires who had survived their exile, he had turned quickly to other matters of importance - namely, the Valor wreckage floating near Montbard.
The ships engines had been destroyed, a huge amount of hull burned away, the core had overloaded once the coolant systems had been clogged with molten metal. Yet despite the extensive damage, Etien was sure he could repair the ship. He had issued orders to his gunboat crew, and had them loot the supplies that he needed, using the Crepuscule. The crew had been extremely succesful, and yielded many results. However, L'anes sent to collect the supplies never made it back to Montbard.
Etien kept the files pertaining to the raids orderly, to make sure he was getting what he needed.
Notes: some tobacco stolen. Cruiser and two Gunboats succesfully destroyed, with assistance of nearby Maquis bomber patrol.
With these resources, and some of the best Brigand engineers, the Grande Guillotine was repaired to a state where it could be towed to another system. For increased security, and more adequate facilities, the Guillotine was towed through the Morvan Asteroid Field, to the Champagne Jumphole, and finally, to Epernay Station.
Repair is still ongoing. Many more resources are still required, particularly Hull Panels. Soon, the Guillotine should be repaired. And hopefully, be battle worthy. With the Royalist forces increasing for their onslaught into Sirius, the ship may be required to defend the Brigand bases.
notes: our agreement with the 'Zoner' sirian faction is proving quite efective. the Horn of Plenty provided their ship with bio-neural processors outside Reunion, and in return hull panels were given. Soon, the Guillotine should be fully repaired.
