.:j:. Construction of a Z-8550 "Pitbull", payment offered; Sender: Rell Harrow - Tenseiken - 07-19-2019 ENCRYPTION LEVEL: LOW SECURITY COMMUNICATION INITIATED ACCESS FOR ".:j:.": Read; Write ACCESS FOR "OTHER": Read Only VISUAL LINK ACTIVE Hello, fellow congressmen and congresswomen. My name is Rell Harrow and I offer you payment in exchange for the delivery of certain goods that I require to be brought to Vieques Shipyard in Puerto Rico. For a good while now, I have been looking for a vessel that can be properly reinforced against radiation without unbalancing it too badly. I came across a few rudimentary plans for the construction of a Z-8550 "Pitbull", also commonly known as a "Pirate Train". With all of the ship's crew quarters being near the engine, the main weight will be added there. Therefore, while it will become heavier, it will not become unbalanced, as the primary weight increase will be near the source of propulsion. This project might well reduce the health issues that come from extended stays in highly irradiated areas and therefore may be able to increase the safety of members of the congress across Sirius. I have also come across some additional ideas for energy sources that, while expensive, will likely offset the weight increase and leave the ship's agility untouched. I have even made a few alterations that might well allow the vessel to complete clean, planetary landings, by adding additional, rotational thrusters. I don't yet know if they will be able to fire while the main engine is active, but they are strong enough to lift the vessel, so it's an attempt worth trying. These goals may sound grand and potentially too good to be true. In order to find out if my idea holds true when applied to reality, I want to construct a prototype. Due to the experimental nature of the changes to the vessel and because I don't want to use up the resources of the fine people on the shipyard, I need my own materials. While some of the more daring engineers aboard Vieques have agreed to help me in my endeavour, transporting the entirety of the required goods to Puerto Rico would take far more time than I have available, especially considering that my aunt Marie needs someone to look after her. As such, I offer this transportation contract to other members of the congress. This ship will be registered with the Republic of Liberty. As such, they will gain read access to this comm, once the construction is complete. House officials will see the entirety of this, so keep the jokes down, alright? For every cargo unit delivered, I offer you a payment of 1750 credits. And yes, this does mean that bulkier cargo will fetch more. The list is as follows: Ablative Armor Plating Required: 6500 Delivered: 7610 Basic Alloy Required: 3000 Delivered: 3580 Boron Required: 1000 Delivered: 1000 Critical Temperature Alloy Required: 1000 Delivered: 1000 Energy Field Equipment Required: 500 Delivered: 500 Engine Components Required: 4000 Delivered: 4000 Gravity Fields Stabilizers Required: 100 Delivered: 100 Heat Sinks Required: 500 Delivered: 500 High Temperature Alloys Required: 1500 Delivered: 1500 Industrial Hardware Required: 1000 Delivered: 1000 Manifolds Required: 5000 Delivered: 5000 Nanocapacitors Required: 1000 Delivered: 1000 Optical Chips Required: 1000 Delivered: 1000 Polymers Required: 2500 Delivered: 2500 Quantum Multiplexors Required: 200 Delivered: 200 Robotics Required: 1000 Delivered: 1000 Ship Hull Panels Required: 7800 Delivered: 7800 Super Alloy Required: 7500 Delivered: 7580 Superconductors Required: 2000 Delivered: 2805 Xenobiotic Filters Required: 1000 Delivered: 1000 In addition to this, I require one "Ingenuus Power Cell". I had previously underestimated how difficult these are to procure. No matter. I've come this far. I won't see my work stopped by such a barrier. This is for the health of my crew and potentially the crews of the congress. If these cells are as powerful as the research group advertises, then we may well be able to use this technology in other vessel types. But each would be far more expensive than a regular ship due to the cost of the cell. So I am hoping to merely use my prototype and find out how much energy is truly necessary. The .:j:.Einsamkeit will remain as the first prototype, seing as it nears completion. In addition to that, we may be able to downgrade the former primary reactor to an emergency power source and rebuild the infrastrucutre of the secondary one. We'll likely never be able to use the cell's full potential. Still. This may well create very useful data. I will never be able to recreate such a thing. But I might be able to find out how much power we really need and design a new engine fit for the task. Required: 1 Delivered: 0 PlasFoam Conduits Required: 250 Delivered: 290 I will have work begin as soon as any goods are delivered and will also begin transportation myself. If you want your payout, you will need to bring visual proof of delivery as per usual. And with that, I am off to start hauling the cargo. COMMUNICATION ON HOLD; OPEN TO REPLY RE: .:j:.

I've brought in the following cargo so far, just so you fellas know what still needs transporting: 5000 Manifolds 100 Gravity Field Stabilizers 500 Heast Sinks 1000 Industrial Hardware 1000 Optical Chips Cargo manifests: Delivery 1 Delivery 2 Delivery 3 That's the first bit done and I was told that the engineers already started on the assembly.

While it's more than I originally planned for, I imagine that any leftovers can be used on the shipyard. 7610 Ablative Armor Plating Cargo manifests: Delivery 1 Delivery 2 If nobody wants to jump in, I can finish this myself eventually. But that means that none of you buggers will earn any money from me. COMMUNICATION ON HOLD; OPEN TO REPLY RE: .:j:.

With this boron, we can start shaping the manifolds properly. I'll stay at Vieques for a moment and get on with the construction. 1000 Boron 3580 Basic Alloy 2805 Superconductors 4000 Engine Components Cargo manifests: Delivery 1 Delivery 2 Delivery 3 COMMUNICATION ON HOLD; OPEN TO REPLY RE: .:j:.

Oh so very tired. Aunt Marie is taken care of, she's sleeping right now. My first mate Earl is trying to help with the construction, and I think I'll let him work with the engineers for a while, as long as he stays sober, that is. As it stands, I have only managed to bring in one load of miscellaneous cargo since my last entry here. Ugh. I need sleep. Regardless, here're the things I've brought in. 1000 Critical Temperature Alloy 1500 High-Temperature Alloy 1000 Xenobiotic Filters Cargo manifests: Delivery 1 COMMUNICATION ON HOLD; OPEN TO REPLY RE: .:j:.

Yeah, that was an understatement. I took off from the station without ever unloading the goods. I only realized this when I reached Harrisburg, where I bought the quantum multiplexors. Luckily, there was still enough room in the hold but I did waste a lot of time this way. When I checked my comms, I had multiple missed messages from Earl, asking me what I was doing. Sorry, Earl. My bad. I've brought it all in now, as well as some more stuff. Oh, and I did get attacked by a random rogue. Shot him down and tractored him in. I later dropped him off at a nearby police base. Also, when I grabbed the polymers, the people on the station convinced me that PlasFoam conduits are quite helpful when it comes to blocking electromagnetic pulses. Considering the way in which I planned out the secondary reactor, that stuff will be quite useful. 200 Quantum Multiplexors 500 Energy Field Equipment 1000 Nanocapacitors 290 PlasFoam Conduits 2500 Polymers Conduits 1000 Robotics Cargo manifests: Delivery 1 Delivery 2 Delivery 3 COMMUNICATION ON HOLD; OPEN TO REPLY RE: .:j:.

I've brought the missing super alloys as well as most of the ship hull panels. I delivered some manifolds to the Junkers in New Berlin on the way. They pay well for those. All I need now is the remaining ship hull panels and that energy cell. 7580 Super Alloy 7580 Ship Hull Panels Cargo manifests: Delivery 1 Delivery 2 Delivery 3 Delivery 4 Delivery 5 Delivery 6 COMMUNICATION ON HOLD; OPEN TO REPLY RE: .:j:.

The last 220 units of ship hull panels have been brought in. 220 Ship Hull Panels Cargo manifests: Delivery 1 COMMUNICATION ON HOLD; OPEN TO REPLY
