[JIVA] Phase VI - Vivens Mortua Est

"Set subjects 8-49 were processed. So much work, but at least we got some results. The new strain of DNA proofed valuable and the scientific thesis has been sent to the coreworlds.

Growth subject 04 is putting more and more strain on the dampening fields. Mr Gross has mentioned in the last meeting that we might need to produce a lot more power to keep the growth sample under control."

"Ah, what a day. When he said "more energy" he meant by a factor of 10 at least. This man is crazy. No idea how that should work - there is no powercore in Sirius that can produce that much energy except planetary core reactors - and good luck installing one of those in even a Leviathan class ship."

"My god, - it is a blessing that we chose to operate in deep space. We had to vent parts of the alien bio samples into space. The containment field just cannot hold it back anymore. Almost immedietly a strikeforce of Nomad assault ships turned up.

Their weapons managed to break the hull on deck 8, causing a violent decompression before emergency forcefields turned on. 12 scientists of my team and 2 of team beta got pulled into space along with valuable equipment. And to make things even worse; the power needed to operate the emergency forcefields weakened the containment."

"Mr Gross came up with a bold plan. Aparently he and his team have studied the old alien reactor of that Leviathan ship and found a way to turn it on again - or as he so optimisticly stated "create a black hole on deck 1".

If we can turn that old reactor on, we might have sufficient power. At least our tests show that this singularity core can produce anabundance of power.
We have returned to Freeport 11 and docked above the biodome gardens to get parts and machinery on board."

"The shield matrix is established and stable. It seems it requires a specific element to balance the powers of this micro singularity. I just hope it does not fail. I have to admit that i do not feel comfortable working right next to a singularity. We have yet to feed the main circuit but tests look very promising"

"It is amazing! Not only does the containment field run at 100% with a lot of spare power, but we also have sufficient power left to finally power up all the other alien systems.

I have no idea why the old crew under Ms Tate never managed to work on the old systems, - guess they were not interested in them."

"After what, regarding to the logfiles, over a thousand years, - we have turned the alien shield system on again and i am impressed. It works like a charm. We still have to figure out the exact effect but it is evident that the shields have strengthened by a factor of at least 4. The energy barrier is so strong that it even created a visible bubble around the ship."
