-After the meeting with captain Tavros Hernández in Palacio Imperial at Crete, captain Erwin D. Smith was sent back to his room. He sends a message to the 2IC of Excommunicado to meet him at the elevator, then quickly packed up his belongings and marched out to his ship, while holding a folder, with full details about the few new members of his crew. While walking In a few hasty minutes, near the elevator for the ship deck, a shadowy figure was waiting for captain Smith, It was none other than Chief Frankie Solomons of Excommunicado !

-They shook hands, went inside the elevator and head straight for the deck.

*Smith looked at Frankie and says*
"What do you think about the new crew members, Chief ?"

*Solomons with a smile says*
"Well, i hope they can keep up with the pressure *laughs*, come on captain, we've been through alot. We'll push this through as well !"

*Smith looks at the folder, opens it and reads through the information presented to him. Not sure if Tavros decision was right, he could only hope for now, Smith says*
"Let's hope that everything will turn out fine, for now i'm only concerned about the repairment of Excommunicado's engines and the upcoming mission. We will be diving again in danger and surrounded by enemies, fighting for a new purpose and a new cause but under Detterence's name."

*Solomons says*
"The Detterence are highly respected by the Corsairs Empire, we should give our best and make them proud of us. Their Empire is vast and strong, but still they chose to accept us, maybe we should strive for the same, captain. The danger was always lurking around us anyway, so I got used to it long time ago, but now... At least we have a chance to call this place "Home". With their might and power, we can avenge our people and bring down the corrupted Libertonians."

-The elevator signals that it reached the deck floor, Smith and Solomons step out of the elevator and continue their way to the Battlecruiser. While walking, Smith noticed that, the whole crew calmly talking to each other and laughing while waiting for both of them to arrive. In the middle were the new crew members, silently awaiting for their orders by their new captain and chief.

*Smith with irritated face says*
"Are we having a break or something ?"
"We have a arranged escort team waiting for us outside Crete and you all are slacking off ?"

*One of the new crew members says*
"No, sir ! Everything is boarded and the ship is ready to lift off at your command !"

*Smith surprised, looks at him and says*
"Very well then, It seems you have already recieved your instructions by captain Tavros without my knowledge"
*Smith opens the folder and goes to page 1*
"So, judging by your tone and preparation, you must be the new "Second Mate" - Ceres Diego Salvador, am I right !?"

"Yes. sir. I'm at your service, may we bring glory to Detterence and the Empire !"

*Smith looks to the left and points at the other crew member*
"You must be the "Deck Cadet" Sanchez Santiago Rodriguez?"

"Yes, sir. One and only for now, more will be waiting at Syros, but I will give you my best, sir !"

*Smith looks to the right and pauses for a bit*
"So... You must be the "Cheif Engineer" - Lorreta Gracia Dominguez, am i right !?"

"Yes, captain. Believe it or not, I am really good at my job and with time i will prove it to you. A lot of men doubted me at first, but the way I handle things, many were surprised ! Those men behind me, will help out for the repairment at Syros Shipyard, they are yours to command, captain !"

*Smith smiles and says*
"PERFECTION ! Everyone, welcome the new members of our crew !*everybody starts clapping and cheering* They are sent by captain Tavros to help us during our journey. more will be waiting for us at
"Syros Shipyard" , so let's board the ship on the double !"
"The escort outside is already impatient, so let's not make them wait, I will reveal more details about our incoming mission, for now all i can say is... There will be ships to burn and destroy !"
"Let's make Detterence proud !"

-Everybody boards the ship, the engine runs and the ship lifts off.

***Detterence has successfully escorted capitan Erwin Smith of vessel [IN]-Excommunicado to Syros Shipyard***

While being escorted by capitan Gatita of DTR-CNS>GranGatita, capitan Juan of DTR-CNS>Juan;Marco and capitan Amanda of DTR-CNS>Diavola with slow and steady speed, Excommunicado has set sail on its new adventure towards Omicron Xi for the new Engine and crew members.
The Detterence's capitans took the lead with strict orders at hand, to safely escort Excommunicado to Omicron Xi. Making their way near Omicron Gamma's "Orange Giant" sun and through "Gredos's Malvada" with its massive and vast fog, followed by a huge and thick rock formations, capitan Smith almost tought, that this mission was an impossible task. Underestimating the Corsairs intelligence, Detterence's capitans took him by surprise, showing him a perfectly clear of rocks, man-made tunnel path, leading towards Omicron Xi's jump hole. Fascinated by the smart work of the fellow Corsairs, capitan Smith saw a bright future and a new hope for his people, smiling with excitement and joy, that he was right about them, that he chose the right people to rely on in such hard and dangerous times !

Stepping upon new adventures, means new danger along the way, that will eventually lead to new struggles and most of the time - hard decisions must be made... While finally arriving in Omicron Xi, slowly flying towards Syros Shipyard and not far away from Gamma's jump hole, capitan Smith has recieved a letter on the vessel's communicating system, with new orders from capitan Tavros.
The Excommunicado must immediately relocate, right after the engine is finally replaced. With that much work on their hands so the crew will have no time to rest and the engineers must work on the double. With nothing new under the sun, capitan Smith has brushed off the negative thoughts and focused on the main objective.
While Excommunicado being escorted, the Detterence group detected from great distance, a seemingly sad and angry Outcast. Probably a spy, probably on "Cardamine", none of them expected such encounter !
Regardless the stinky Outcast, capitan Smith couldn't risk it, so he used the last drops of power from Excommunicado's thruster, to safely reach Syros Shipyard's docking bays, while Detterence persuades and take's care of the deluded one.

The Excommunicado has finally docked with Syros Shipyard, the new crew members were introduced and the engineers wasted no time, so they started working on the engine right away. The engineer crew made it clear, a new Engine must be mounted, what ever is left from the old one - is to be sent for scraps at Tripoli Shipyard, which means the crew had to find a way to create a new engine for the vessel, but sadly that will take a lot more time to be done....
With capitan Smith's luck, there was a new Battlecruiser engine prototype, singular one of its kind and almost finished. The engine was 100% compatible with the vessel, a perfect fit for Excommunicado !
The new Engine was solely made for the Cosairs Class-Battlecruiser "Tribunus", due to its massive old engine, the Tribunus was quite slow in terms of turning rate and evading. The superiour armor of the vessel, was solely compensating for it's slow movements.
Several tests of the engine were made in the past, which resulted with huge explosions and fireworks, gladly those explosions happend in space, far away from anything populated. Even tho the risk was too high, left without a choice, capitan Smith agreed the Engine to be installed on his vessel - with hopes that luck will be on his side, once again !
Their time is precious but also pressuring, with danger drawing near, the crew tirelessly kept working on the main objective regardless the situation. While capitan Smith was observing the hard working crew from the deck, he felt lucky and proud of the new gathered crew. He smiled and kept reading through the compabilities of the new engine for Excommunicado !

==============================================================================
+++ Excommunicado’s system: E.D.E.N. +++
*** Loading systems… Please wait! ***
*** New upgrades detected! ***
*** Analyzing current upgrades! ***
*** Compatibility: 100% ***
*** Engine installation – Successful! ***
*** Core adaptation – Successful! ***
*** Awaiting test drive…! ***
==============================================================================

After several days of hard work, patience and team effort, the prototype engine has finally been installed and integrated on Excommunicado. Even thou, captain Smith’s nervousness about the engine, he has already sealed his faith long time ago and he has already decided his next step!
There is only one thing that has to be done now: The test drive!

From many years, for the first time in his life, Captain Smith felt fear. Fear that is consuming his mind, crushing his heart, blinding his senses and numbing his body, but his courage and bravery remained untouched!

He gathered his crew and ordered them to listen very carefully of what he’s about to say.

Erwin Smith: All right everybody, open your ears and do not try to change my mind, after what I am about to say!
-E.D.E.N. has detected the new engine successfully! There are no errors on the installation, the Core adaptation is also successful, the system seems to be fully operating on 100% compatibility with the engine and what is left now, is the Test Drive!
-Even thou I know some of you from many years and some of you from a few days, I still know that some of you will disagree about my decision. I have been through a lot in my life and there’s no need for anyone else, to be sacrificed for the mistakes I have done in my journey.
-The fact that the Operating System of my vessel shows 0% failure, I will not bargain with your lives or take any risks, to endanger you or to make any of you suffer a fatal death, if something goes wrong during the test drive. So I have decided to operate Excommunicado for the test drive, alone!

*The crew is shocked by what they have heard and while looking at their captain with disbelief*
*Some of them were trying to change captain Smith’s decision and change his mind*
*A huge commotion started raging among the crew, all of them were worried for their captain*

Chief Frankie: *shouting* SILENCE! THIS IS AN ORDER, THAT YOUR CAPTAIN HAS GIVEN YOU ALL! I COULDN’T CHANGE HIS MIND AND I DOUBT ANY OF YOU COULD *Frankie calms down*
-If something happens to captain Smith, I will be taking his place, with a new ship already prepared and on a standby.

*Captain Smith continues to speak*
Erwin Smith: I have been flying Excommunicado for many years, I know my ship to its very edge and I believe It will not fail me!
-But still, I would appreciate if all of you have faith in me, even thou It might be for one last time.
-The power core of the engine is four times greater than the old one, so… Everyone, evacuate the undocking deck and relocate to the central tower of Syros Shipyard. It is possible that the ship might explode while lifting off, so the tower is a safest place, but the deck will be completely wiped out with me along side it.

The crew quickly makes its way to the central tower, while captain Smith waits for a signal from Chief Frankie that everyone is safe, so captain Smith can make his way to board Excommunicado, but he couldn’t wait any longer, so he boarded his vessel and briefly waited inside the control room, counting the passing minutes and nervously awaiting for the signal to arrive.

After a while, through the radio communicating device, Chief Frankie gives the signal and Captain Smith wastes no time. He closes his eyes, says a prayer and quickly inserts his hand in the Identification system of the ship.
The Identification is successful: E.D.E.N. starts the operating system and waits for the captain to press the “Start Engine” button. Captain Smith musters up his courage, closes his eyes and says a prayer, then presses the button and the engine immediately starts running. Excommunicado’s system runs without an error, the power core is not overheating, everything is normal.
Captain Smith was still afraid, but he closes his eyes again, says a prayer and his courage gives him a push, then he proceeds to step on the throttle and Excommuncado moves forward with immense speed, successfully undocking from Syros Shipyard. After several hours of testing the new engine, flying in close proximity to the Shipyard, Smith is finally reassured that the engine is fully functioning and safe to use, he docks back at Syros to pick up his crew and set sail towards Omicron Nu with several tasks at hand and a mission yet to be completed!
