After two months of wait, the cruise were finally repaired. Republican Shipping, even if she preferred to not recognice the facts to not engage judicial procedure, had effectively delivered the vessel with failing engines. The repairs were not free!
In spite of these problems, our vessel remains the most powerful of the fleet and is finally ready to leave.
We are now the day foreseen by our departure. Federation sends us in a recognizing mission in the Omicron Delta system. The noise runs that a diplomatic cruiser would have been shot down there. Federation never extends too much over what is losses or failures.
It has been one month since this famous cruiser would be lost in the space, without engines, without energy and probably without foods. That is why it is little likely that there are still survivors on board.
But the duty of every good captain is to carry help in the other vessels, all the more when they in the fleet.
We shall thus leave this evening, (at the still indefinite hour) Berlin and will make for us road towards Omicrons. Our shield being all the same weak, we shall pass at first by Minor to ask for the help the best specialists on the subject.
We finally arrived in Omicron Delta, after two days of trip.
We always have to make inspect our shield by the specialists, but I am afraid that this side things are not going to be easy.
We sent a message to Toledo to prevent them of our arrival but regrettably, they inform us that they are not equipped with Mooring Fixtures.
What means that our vessel will be obliged to stay there orbits.
Unfortunately we do not certainly have enough of H-Fuel to go there and back here, what means that we are going to have to send Armored Transport to over there. And I do not like too much this idea. Who knows that he could arrive at them? Pirates' attack or even of nomads would be fatal to them, and without our supports they will not can defend themselves indeed for a long time.But it is the only means which I have to bring the specialists aboard the vessel.
About the lost Cruiser, we still too far of his last known position to be able to send him a message.
Let not us think even to the scanners, if we're not able to send a message, we can't scan him!
We must approach him as quickly as possible.
We finally found the solution of our problem of shield. A mercenary, named Wolpack, agreed to transport us the necessary material up to the vessel.
Our own engineers were able to conceive a generator multiplying by four the power of our shield. It should be sufficient to stand up to the Nomads who attack us days and nights. Less, enough of times for we could find this damned diplomatic Cruiser.
Our scanners found, early this morning, a signature rather important for that she the one of the Cruiser. What worries me this is that it seems to find himself to more than 100-k of the planet Nauru and that she continues of itself about it to move away progressively. What could indeed mean that there is no more anybody of living on board. But according to the article 4 of the rescue code, now we found him it is forbidden to us to turn back. And it is not in my intentions. I am curious to know what happened at this Cruiser; and even if there are no survivors, our investigators will be able to understand the facts.
With engines turned up to 100%, we should be on their position in about two days.
We lost one day further to the carelessness of one of our technicians. A leak having arisen in one of the channeling of oxygene, we have of to seal it and to boost the generator to be able to go back above the 80 %. It pulling entailing a big spending of energy, we were not able to push engines to no more than 70 % and avont so delayed more than sixteen hours.
But our efforts were not vain. We avont finally tracked down the exact position of the diplomatic Cruiser thanks to its radar signature. We had made a mistake only of 30-.k with regard to the supposed position. The Cruiser is thus more in the East than foreseen and we shall put about ving hours to join him. We foresee already various strategies of defence in case of probleme during our stowage. The pilots receive their briefing and they will leave for training out of the Explorer before some hours. All the staff is frightened as much as incited by thinking of what we could find aboard this Cruiser.
