Report #001: Saving the Strebepfeiler
Sarah here. So, while you were all out, I've managed to seize control of the government and- Alright, not quite. But it sounded good, didn't it? More seriously, my first revolutionary duty found me assigned to the equipment store aboard Brush- Brou... I'm still working on that. The one in Frankfurt.
Most of the gear aboard seemed to be in fairly good order. A few faulty outlets when I tried to set up tools, but I managed to rig up an Eagle that someone left just sitting in the bay to run a bit of juice to the machines. Aside from the obvious issues with compatibility and maintenance, I'm frankly amazed at the state of most of the parts you have in storage. It's...Er... It's a little different from what I'm used to working with, but give me a few days, and I should be alright to go.
In other news, after Simps gave me the grand tour, I figured I may as well make myself useful and headed down below decks to help out with retrofitting. In retrospect, learning to read German first would have been a smart move, but mistakes were made. So, with my first attempt to be less of a dead-weight thoroughly shot down, I headed over to take a look at the only ship in the bay with an English manual.
It's my pleasure to attach the maintenance logs of the VWA|Strebepfeiler, and here's hoping they'll be more in the future. More in the sense of more work to do. Not more in the sense of more ships getting holes shot through them. That wouldn't be such a great deal.
Role (Primary):Electronic Warfare and Systems Disruption. Role (Secondary):Transport of equipment and personnel.
Reason for maintenance
Core instability experienced on enemy contact. - Fixed
Cruise engines not firing. - Fixed
Action taken.
Removed SG-lt heavy shield. Replaced with SG-ts standard transport shield.
Don't know how that ended up there, I'm amazed the power draw on that thing didn't shut down the control surfaces as well. Anyway, that should fix up those issues you were having with the core and cruise system. She won't be quite as resilient in a firefight now though, so watch out for that one. Still, at least if the shields do drop you won't have to wait half a year for the old girl to get enough energy together to haul them up again.
Reset central computer.
Had to reset the system to get it to accept the new hardware. As a result I may have wiped the nav-map. Sorry about that. Er...Happy flying?
Other notes.
Found Spa and Cruise tickets for 812A.S cruise in primary engine bay.
Expired. Unfortunately. I know, I checked too.
End report.
Reporting Engineer: Sarah McFarlen
On a somewhat related note, with Strebepfeiler back in the air, I've been assigned the job of updating her nav map, so expect to see me at the helm of that one over the next few days while I try and decipher the various snub manuals lying around here. I'm looking forward to flying with the rest of you, and I suppose I'll see you then.
