Exellent, Lad! We have everything but the rest of the Basic Alloy and the H-fuel. The latter we don't really need until the engines are installed.
However! We still need a LOT of basic alloy for the interior of the ship. Walls, Floors, Room partitions, etc. And we're at the point that manufacturing is grinding to a halt because of the lack therof.
I also recived confirmation from the Athanauthe of the delivery of several other componants. We now have all the engine componants and Super Conductors ready to go. Just need the basic alloy.

Well alright then. We can complete the construction within a day or two at the rate we're going. We just need the H-fuel to power the thing and we're all set to go. Good job everyone.
Also, I am proud to congradulate \CS\-Steve as the official 1st officer aboard the Abyss. He is in command unless Myself, or any designated ranking entities assume command. And hope that he dosen't throw up in his gasmaske because we haven't installed the gravity plating. He has a tendancy to do so...

...SUBJECT: It is done
It gives me pride to say that the \CS\-LCC-Abyss is now complete and fully operational.
All of the internals have been completed, electronics installed, and all the gizmos and gadgets are online and active. Now, we will be conducting operational trials to ensure that all of the Non-standard equipment is functional and working properly. Calibration tests will be conducted in either Tau-65 or Hokkaido.
However, should serious problems arise, we may need to bring the Abyss back to the drydock at Mito for repairs and upgrades. We will leave some technical staff behind until we confirm this. All of our other personell are being ferried back to our bases as we speak.
To our allies in the NovaPG, you have done us a great service and honored us by allowing use of our facilities. While the obvious benefits of additional allied warships patrolling Hokkaido are great, I cannot think of many other ways to repay you. We have little use for credits, but will be willing to allow use of our merchant ships and tactical units should you request them.
For now, I must oversee the inital trials as our fleet undergoes field tests.
