Hyun: Hyun Looks at the gauges "Diata record this down. A medium of bio-neural gel to act as the main conductor alloyed with Nano capacitors, Lanthanum, and Palladium fixes most of the issues we were having. The last step is discovering a containment method for it all. I am going to put in some research hours to look at different containment options and then I will test 3 to 4 of them. Stop recording." Hyun finished. He looked at the time 0420 hours It was another all-nighter. This was the fourth in a row. Nano modification and coffee could only go so far. He figured he would start the research and take a short nap around 0600.
Sunny: There would be some noises in the distance as the entrance to the labs would give away anyone entering the space. After a few faint curses, Sunny would show up and be walking towards Hyun. "Hey! How are things going around here? Haven't seen you in a while." Sunny had with him two bottles of beers and he places one in front of Hyun. "Here. Take it. Don't worry it's not gonna turn your brain into mush." He chuckles. "Mine might though... ha! Anyway, talk to me."
Hyun: Hyun doesn't even give the bottle a passing glance as he barely hears Sunny through the onslaught that is his mind. As he finishes typing he opens his mouth "In order to deal with the exorbitant amount of electrical discharge we are getting we need a sizable converter. As such Jacob and my self have gone through many options of which include using a matter accelerator to pull energy from the accelerated dark matter in the cloud; or we build a fluctuating transformer capable of shunting the pulses into a usable energy source." Hyun takes a large breath. "We need 63310 tons of shock jelly to finish this project broken into its parts that's 12.662 tons of Nano-tubes, nano-capacitors, bio-neural gel, Lanthanum and Palladium. Then we have to electrolize the neural gel. Atomize both the Lanthanum and Palladium, magnetize the nano-tube and then mix it all together. This then needs to be applied to a transformer that will shunt the energy into a sink that will charge the stations primary power core." He pauses and takes a drink from the beer to re wet his throat.
Sunny: "Right... yeah... let me just..." Sunny opens up his bottle of beer and takes a large gulp before putting it down. "Okay so you need all this.... and then it's going to work, yeah?"
Hyun: "Pretty much. Get me the items on this list," Hyun swipes a file from the screen in front of him toward sunny" and then we can start construction on the engine."
Sunny: "Sounds like a plan, then." He takes another swing of his beer and exhales sharply. "And you're sure this is going to work and we're not going to go kingdom come like before, yeah?" He smirks a little.
Hyun:"Yes we've done all the testing we possibly could. There is no way we can account for everything but at the very least we would only have to rebuild one sector not half the station." Hyun finishes as he goes back to his screen and begins typing again.
Sunny: "Right. Great work, then. Get some rest when you can, Hyun." He pats him on the back as he turns to leave. "I'll call for the transports to start shipping over the needed supplies. Keep your eyes on the hangar cargo bay storage."
Hyun: Hyun doesn't make any motion as his mind has already delved back in to his work. They were close He could feel it. Hyun tried several different options for the application. They all failed he was working on another when his an electromagnetic pulse accidentally went off and his nanites performed an emergency shut down to keep from being fried. With out the support of nanites sleep washed over him his three days of working on this hit him as though a black hole were sitting directly below him. He grasped for the table and missed falling to the floor. Everything went black and it felt like peace had finally come.
Diata materialized moments later behind Hyun, starting a scan of his body's ''failure'' and monitoring for any 'errors' or things out of the norm. She started to look over and analyses the different options Hyun was working on and archiving them for later use.
Hyun: List: Direct application: Indirect application; Metal sleeve; carbon weave; linear pods; linked pods. To name a few
the primary two that contribute are the metal sleeve and carbon weave.
Jacob: "Hey, are you there?" Jacob entered the room in search of Hyun after he woke up from a quick nap in guest quarters. He found him laying unconscious on the floor, after walking up to him, he kneels down next to him just to lay his right hand down on his shoulder. He carefully starts to shake him in an attempt to wake him up. "Hey man... Are you alright?"
Hyun: Hyun Slowly opens his eyes. Some dry blood from his forehead was crusted on the floor. "Yea I'm fine just forgot to ground that last test when we started. I didn't expect it to make an EMP." He stated as he picked himself up and went to the first aid cabinet.
Jacob: He crosses his arms. "At least the room is properly shielded, and you seem to be okay as well." Still with crossed arms, he followed Hyun to the cabinet. "I wanted to run some tests on my own, unfortunately a headache took me out just before I could start."
Hyun: Hyun laughs, "Sounds like a typical day for us scientists." He finishes with his bandages. "Well lets get started again. I've done a few tests and it is apparent that we will have to make use of a few things. Any ideas from your side?" Hyun asks as he pours some coffee and checks his implants.
Jacob: "I'm coming to think that I might be a bigger help when it comes to robotics..." He stays quiet for a few seconds as if he was trying to temember something while looks at the screen he found Hyun, lying unconscious next to. "No, sorry. No Ideas from my side. I was just thinking about the tests I've wanted to run yesterday remotely on the Altair's Laboratory, but... It looks like you were faster than me on that one."
Hyun: Hyun laughs again this time wincing at the pain his forehead is causing. "Well nanite implants can increase a lot of things when programmed correctly." He finishes. "So I was thinking of a metallic frame with a carbon weave on a moving track that could quickly and efficiently transfer the electronic charge from the Faraday cage to the energy sink."
Jacob: "Sounds like it could work, any Idea on how we're going to construct a prototype?" He again keeps quiet for a few seconds before continuing. "And what about some painkillers?"
Hyun: Hyun looks back at the first aid cabinet and then pulls his arm up. A holographic screen is displayed and Hyun begins typing into it. A couple of seconds later the pain subsides and Hyun seems relatively calmer. "I don't really like to use this but we have work to do." He says in a some what dull tone. "About that I was thinking of a linear hexagonal approach." (insert video clip) "Something along those lines seems to be the best way I have come up with." He finished in the same semi dull tone.
Jacob: Jacob nodded several times as he listened to Hyun. "Got it. So what's next? Need any help with additional machinery, maybe some extra technicians or mechanics? And bear in mind that I'm fairly skilled in robotics myself, this might come in handy." He takes out his Datapad, prepared to take notes on everything Hyun needs.
Hyun: "So we will definately need help with the robotics track for the engine. I would like it to be largely automated." Hyun swipes the blue prints he has in front of him towards the pad in Jacobs hand. "Other than that help with manufacturing the actual panels will be needed."
Jacob: He silently inspects the Blueprint, "That should not take all too long... But it wouldn't be done in a few either, days I suppose. Do you want me to bring some heavy machinery over here? I could get the Altair, it used to be a renzu liner but the whole front section has been replaced by a huge laboratory, this includes quite a big manufacturing facility which might help us... well, to manufacture the parts. What do you think?"
Hyun: "That would be most helpful." Hyun responds as he starts submitting the plans. "We can split the work load between the two manufacturing labs. Whoever gets done first can help the other out." Hyun finishes as he calls up Sunny on his personal comm.
Jacob: "We of course would require an escort out here, a liner is a pretty soft target." He crosses his arm. "We could do something like... A joint operation between the ORG and AFC. But I think that's something I have to discuss with Sunny."
Sunny: A hologram appears from Hyun's arm when Hyun calls him up on his comm.
"Hmm? What's up Hyun? I'm my hangar right now." He says, seeming slightly per-occupied.
Hyun: Jacobs got to talk to you about some protection and then we are ready to start the mechanical manufacturing.
Jacob: "Yes, right. I'm planning on moving one of our ships over to this station to assist with the construction and manufacturing. However, since we still belong to the Order, we are a big target for a lot of ships and with the Altair being an ORG Ship, it would become even more of a target. As a Liner-Class, it isn't that capable to defend itself and since we only have one or two pilots we can spare for this, it would be highly appreciated if you could provide an extra escorts for our Ship."
Sunny: Sunny thought for a moment. "What ship is it, again?"
Jacob: "A Renzu Luxury Liner, it's called 'Altair'."
Sunny: "Ah... never mind, then... thought it had the capacity to jump..." Sunny thought some more. "Yeah, we can arrange something."
Jacob: Jacob nodded with a slight smile, "Good to know, we can discuss the details later if you're occupied right now."
Sunny: "Yeah yeah... Just talk to Hyun and get the specifics figured out. We'll send someone out. No problem." The hologram ends.
Hyun: "So how soon can you send the Altair out?"
Jacob: "The Altair is already preparing to move out. Once the escorts arrive they'll start." He again pulls out his data pad and starts to type something into it. "I will stay aboard this station to make sure everything goes smoothly. The Commander of the Military Wing will be the Captain of the Altair for this mission."
Hyun: "Sounds good We have at least one escort for the mission. Curtis will be flying escort for you."
Jacob: "At least two of my pilots will be flying escort as well, we should be able to repel any minor attacks... Guess we'll be playing the waiting game until they arrive."
Hyun: "That is fine, gives us time to fine tune things on our end." Hyun replies as he pulls up a screen and begins inputting data.
