Coupling: Lord MacRae Shipyard - Fortitudine



As we aproach the end of another project, and as usual we are holding a small super profitable event,

In our eyes, the man power and their sweet are the blood and soul of every good corporate business,

As sush, and to show our members how much we treasure them, we are ofering their weight in Gold,

For each of these materials we have set a very special price as a reward for so many years of hard work and labour to all BMF pilots,

During this final and so delicate stage, our crews will be finishing the coupling procedures that will atatch the two super structures, thus given birth to a massive installation that will reflect bouht BMF's and Bretonia's pride in its working class.

As of now i, Dylan Hunt, Chief Executive Officer of Bretonia Mining and Fabrication, declare the event start,

There will be no need for black box, guncam evidence as our dockmasters will keep an inventory updated in real time in order to ensure the steady flow of materials at this so delicate time.

In the name of Her Majesty Queen Carina, we can and we will.

It is with great pleasure that we declare yet another complex phase of this project as complete,

Yet again, the BMF Staff shows its professionalism and hard work by completing this job in record time.

In the name of Her Majesty Queen Carina, we can and we will.

Project Stronghold - Fortitudine Expansion
Conversion of factory lines and Hangar Bays: Food production , Water and Oxygen reclamation and purification.



As Fortitudine initiates basic systems check, we would like to make a short presentation about the several upgrades to the Station mainly focussing on the Water, food and Oxygen production facilities, these were adaptations made to Lord MacRae Shipyard production lines as well its hangar bays.

In this first presentation, we’ll discover how the Station uses the process of reclamation (recycling) to meet their needs for water in space!


Why Recycle Water?
[Image: TsVQvVq.jpg]


All living organisms, from the tiniest bacteria to the biggest predators, and all the plants, require water to survive. Of course, people need water, too, even when they are traveling or working in space.

Water is dense, so even a little bit of it is heavy. This makes it very expensive to transport from planets to space.

For this reason, crews, need to find ways of reusing the water that they already have. The process of recycling wastewater is also known as water reclamation. Water reclamation is vital to space travel as we know it, and is a “must” if we got people living for long periods of time on Space stations.




How Does It Work?
[Image: Fh1p7rV.jpg]


Fortitudne has now an entire system dedicated to recycling water for its crew aboard the station.
Basically, wastewater (dirty, used water) is captured, filtered (cleaned), and then made available to reuse. A setup that automatically continues in a cycle like this, over and over again, its called a closed-loop system.

Where does the wastewater come from?

Our bodies release water when we sweat, go to the bathroom, and even breathe. These biological byproducts are captured from the crew on the Station, passed through a filter to remove impurities and contaminants, and then used again by the crew to drink, bathe, re-hydrate dried food and supply the Bio-dome needs.

This might sound gross, but recycled water on Fortitudine is cleaner than what most of us drink on New London! In fact, the idea comes straight from nature. We’ve learned in several previous lessons that planets have their own system of reusing water, called the water cycle.


Where does the food and oxygen come from?

Water recycling on Fortitudine is controlled by the Environmental Control and Life Support System.
This system of machines provides both clean Oxygen and Water to Fortitudine's crew and cloned meat production.
Yes you heard well, our crews even have meat, tho cloned pieces and not live stock, even so thisis very pleasant for them as meat consumption in space is a rare thing.
The part of the system that controls water reclamation is the Water Recovery System.
This system is very efficient: it recycles up to 100 percent of fluid captured from Fortitudine's sinks, showers, toilets, Tea and Pee Bar as well as condensation from the air.

Environmental Control and Life Support System, a.k.a. bathrooms and air recycling, for the instalation are on display at the entrance of our Tea and Pee Bar


The systems went into operation in 26-02-828 A.S. (744 A.G.S.).
Until now, the Station relied on stored water that had been transported from Planet New London.
This limited the amount of time between suply runs, because once the stored water was used, the crew had to ask for more to the transporting divisions. This new system allows to hold more crew members, extends the length of time in between re-supplies, and helps keep operating costs down for Fortitudine. One of the biggest challenges to developing theis system was making equipment that could operate reliably as well as keeping the system simple enough that the crew can also conduct repairs when needed.

Again, providing water is no small part of space stations: each crew member on Fortitudine uses about a gallon of water per day to drink, prepare food, brush their teeth, wash their body, and shave.
The crew do everything they can to conserve the water that is available. "We don't use faucets onFortitudine, we use a wash cloth,” says Layne Carter, a water-processing specialist at the station (which produced the system). “It's much more efficient. If you're a crew member, you'll wet the wash cloth with a spray nozzle and then use the cloth to wash your hands."

Conclusion
You may not envy the crew members of Fortitudine (even though that reclaimed water they’re drinking is SUPER clean)…but it’s important to conserve water werever you may be.

After years of hard work by hundreds of brave pilots from all Houses we have finally finished our work furbishing the interiors and getting the installation ready for its inaugural startup.

The newly installed central power cores look promising for oxygen and food production as well as water purification systems,

Yet, the next step on our great endeavor,

We now have all the infra-structure complete but we are missing the key components,

Skilled scientists to work our so delicate self sustained eco-systems the proper equipment to survey living conditions within the station.

As our engineers need to install the internal security systems and we will be ready to open the installation new areas to working groups and public in general.

Almost there pilots.

No Barges will be allowed to participate in this endeavour as their sheer size could harm the delicate space procedures in place by BMF personell.
Limit for HS set to 10.000 Units to try prevent abuse.

In addition, and for a limited time only Fortitudine will be paying an outstanding 4.000 SC per Gold Ore Unit delivered to its vaults limit is set to 200.000 Units and will be closed sale.

This is an effort to atract more workers to our ranks as well as we expecting an increase of activity in Dublin as well as New London helping the economy getting back on its feet.

Once again the public accepted the challenge made by Bretonia Mining and fabrication and did not disappoint.

The work was not only complete but it was made with due competence and reliability, we are now preparing for the Grand Opening,

As you can see right next to me are the first sprouts of green this station has ever seen, as you can imagine it is a great moment for all of us at BMF.

As a sort of soft celebratory act and having in consideration the needs of Bretonian citizens, we issued order for our Gold dealers to buy Gold at an unusual price,

Our brokers managed to buy from all sorts of miners the astonishing amount of 300 000 Units of Gold Ore that are as of this moment open for sale at Fortitudine.

Many ships pilots and crews passed by our Hangar bays, in these last years more than ever,

In moments like these i can help myself of remembering some of the many faces that got us to were we are today.


Moments like this remind us all of the importance of a tight strong community that not only work together but strengthen bonds of friendship and respect.

Friends or foes all of you made us grow in one way or the other and we thank you all for that.
