The boss is out on some goose chase or other, and that leaves this poor girl stuck with the paper work.
We got the core of the Junction Wreck resealed and pressurized, but -=J=-Bandersnatch is hanging off the outside with her reactor jury-rigged to the station via a sort of reverse shore power cable arrangement. It's a damn good thing that there is a copper field in Humboldt. Gateway's promise of 48 hours for delivery of the Nuclear Devices is already hanging on most of a week, and, as long as they haven't delivered, we're stuck with this arrangement.
Once we got the power sorted out, we could get a figure on how much more strut work we'd need. The base is gonna use up about 25k tonnes of framing. We had to get it imported from Scarborough in Newcastle in the form of Super Alloy. The stuff's a right pain to work on, but at least we know the skeleton of the station will be solid.
