As most of the ship's front is finished, the hull plating is now being added - aiming for a form which will allow some atmospheric control. No outpost ship is exactly graceful, and this oversized one less than ever, but it should be able to reliably keep the bottom side down and the landing site within a few kilometers of the target, at worst. Some cargo is now being produced, to be loaded into the ship's cargo bays just before launch. The first of the engines is being installed as well, and the huge fuel tanks carrying fuel for the reactors - at this point, everything except for the command center is in place for launch.
- Expert crew cataloging. RU 0.(96) During the early planning period, as construction was just beginning, everyone with space-flight experience was required to go through a set of physical, psychological, and practical tests, and everybody who scored highly across the board was marked as potential crew material and set to training. Now, nearly a year later, the Base's Chief of Personnel and their assistants began working to determine which of those should actually be woken during the journey.
They find that of those who entered the training program, almost all are highly competent and disciplined, though somewhat fatigued, thanks to the efforts of the program's director, who apperantly requisitioned every ship which was not in use hauling materials to the shipyard to simulate various scenarios, and even sent the future crew with the engineers working on the ship's critical systems to learn how the ship worked and how to make it do so. The Chief of Personnel helps to organize them, and work out a waking schedule which will avoid any known conflicts between the crew members or any "changing of the guard" scenarios which could lead to disorder and failure to keep the next group informed.
Bonus gained - Expert Crew. +5 to all appropriate rolls during the Flight phase. Cannot negate or cause a critical roll, but can mitigate the effects of one.(93) Take weapons crate The adniral manages to convince the other Base leaders that carrying the crate would at worst be a waste of space, and at best serve to protect against any riots or other problems which may emerge; the vote comes out strongly in favor of taking the crate. He then meets with the group who had been speaking against it, in an attempt to convince them as well. They aren't really convinced, but they do agree to deal with it and follow the vote without doing or saying anything which would hurt relations between them and those in favor.
