Oh no, that feeling again. That headspinning, nothing seems quite as it should be I can't focus feeling that was so often a feature of Saturday mornings. Except this morning was a Sunday morning. I dragged myself out of bed and stood up, Oh Big mistake, but once I was up I knew there was nothing for it but to shoulder on and try and get through the moanings. I had a lot of things to do. How did this happen to me? What happened ? Nothing, as far as I can remember. I went to bed early with a cap of vodka and a cocktail. I was asleep by half-past ten.
So why did I feel like death now?
There was a pain in my face and my eyes hurt. I limped to the bathroom and looked at my refraction in the mirror. I looked like a copse.
Oh my Gaia..
I had to look again, to make sure. I was positive that someone who felt as bad as I did should be looking like a dead body, but I definitely, without question, looked like a copse. There was foliage around my head, growing from my nose. There was no getting away from it.
It was happening again. I got that stinking feeling in my stomach. The sort of heady, hopeless sensation you get when you know that everything is about to get horribly, horribly wring.
knew what it meant straight away. Of course I did. It meant that you weren't dead after all. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Four months ago, that long already?
It had never promised to be one of those simple cases that were bread and batter to others in my procession. Then again, if it had been a simple case, they would have gone to someone else, wouldn't they?
I was hooked on you from the start. Glamorous, brilliant, they said, but crazed, out for revenge. Clearly, we had a lot in common.
"David is his name" The bartender told me, I've heard some rumors about him, he needs a technician, someone who can build things"

Well ..I'd never been on the tail of a mad zoner before, but then, who had? Anyway, I was the specialist in the weird cases, it was my job, it was why i came to him. He gave me the photograph and it took me just half a second to decide to accept the case.
I was on your side now. I strayed with you in the Livadia's factory for four months as we concocted our scheme - a scheme that would force your oppressors to leave you alone, that would, if it worked properly, free the whole galaxy from tyrrany, as you'd originally intended.
We spent those 4 months in meticulous planing, and the nights in a stinky hanger, a vessel which we both saw develop and bosom into a fling of genuine beasty.

So, what do we need? Ah yes, silly me, we need parts, lots of parts ; But where do we get it from? Junkers you say? I bet those junkies do more than junk. Do we even have junkers around here? Yes idiot, ofcourse we do, they don't come here on a regular basis, but we could borrow scrap metal from livadia.

"You know david, even if we get the parts, and even if ( and thats a big if ) we somehow manage to sneak it here, what makes you so sure no one is going to trace it, or find out about it? "

David

"We can always bribe a few people upstairs, money is the base-line currency in the galaxy, surely we can arrange something"

Kelly

"You think you're up for it? Because I'm not going to take that fall incase someone double-cross you".

Dvvid

"Let me worry about that, meanwhile, go and get the parts".

EDITING SUB-STAGES


To supervise the construction process of our new vessel. Kelly sends a site team consisting Senior Officers and Electro Technicians) and supervisors, and some selected external supervisors hired from a company. Our current site team consists of 11 to 15 members. The number of supervisors will be reduced at a later stage when the majority of the ship is delivered.

The construction process is divided into more or less 4 stages

The block stage
The pre-erection
The erection stage
The commissioning stage.

Stage 1

Cut and formed steel plates and steel beams are welded together to form the block portion of the vessel. The blocks are not completed until the supervisors are called for sub-assembly and final block inspection and accept them.

This includes :

Headers, suspended ceiling supports, composite columns, bolts, scrap metal, unproccessed industrial materials.





Stage 2

Blocks are joined/welded together at a suitable weight within the capacity This is also the stage where the machineries for engine room blocks, forward blocks for deck machinery and bow thruster etc. equipment in deck houses and other outfittings are installed. It takes about five days for the supervisors to complete the pre-erection stage. During this stage, the keel of the vessel will be ready . It takes 2 months from steel cutting to keel laying of the vessel.



Sub - Stage 2
Design
______

The nature of the ship intended and its special needs help determine the design - shape, size and configuration - of the vessel. there are obvious unique requirements, such as seating capacity, entrance and escape-pods and access to certain systems. The configuration of the vessel must provide for all of the support systems, such as communications, electrical systems and life support, but mostly, weapon systems. Since we are talking about six crew-members, it means the bridge does not have to contain all of them.

Weapon system placements are vital, Most specialists will consider mounting the guns/turrets side-ways, to the bottom, thus creating a "triangle net" of about 40 meters wide., a "killing zone" if you want. This reduces the chances of self-inflicting damage upon usage, and enables the ship to focus all of its weapons to a specific spot.

Demonstration :




Further more, each side can hold its own power source, unlike other vessels that center the entire system to a one given location, mainly the bridge.
Because each side is indepdendent from the other, in cases of mulfunction, destruction, it does not effect all other systems.
However, it is well known that zoner technologies do not always stand up on their standards, such a unique design was never tested, hence it is possible that not all systems can function well. The design does not allow us to esemble a nuclear reactor, resulting in reduced power voltage, this does not effect the engine, or the steering gears, but it does reflect on the weapon systems, the long-range scanners, and the external shield. In this conclusion, a secondary shield needs to be installed, sacraficing mobility and speed due to the weight of the shield generator. Because of the reduced fire systems, the ship needs extra escape pods, in case of a potential destruction. Estimated time goes within a few weeks in addition.







Stage 3

Blocks are now joined together and seated on the blocks which are arranged according to hull form and then welded. Main engine, Thruster engines, steering gears are then erected, followed by a propeller. The space deck hatch covers, tween decks and cargo deck are erected, the hull markings such as draft marks, bottom markings, are confirmed to be correctly installed. The principal dimension of the ship in depth, breadth and level of externall hull are measured. The erection takes approximately 60 days.

Stage 4

This is the busiest part of construction process. Commissioning engineers, paint workers, welders, engineers, supervisors, ship suppliers, owner superintendents, class surveyors, and ship’s crew – everyone is rushing to beat the clock to complete their respective tasks before the ship delivery.

Test of equipment, installation, welding etc. to complete the erection stage and commissioning until the delivery of the vessel. The monitoring of the painting of the ship takes approximately six days. In addition comes the constant monitoring by supervisors collecting unscheduled inspection comments and confirming that these are carried out accordingly. The site team consists of a hull Supervisor, Machinery Supervisor, Electrical Supervisor, Paint Supervisor – everyone with clear responsibilities for their field of work.
