Logistics Alert - Inventory Completed
Hmm, Logistics has completed its analysis of the technology cache. Many of the items are unremarkable, or nonfunctional. One of the items is a nearly intact Transhammer. In case you're not aware, "Transhammer" is the unofficial name for the tool which shapes and manipulates Hullmetal and other trans-neutonian materials. Of course this Transhammer is only a handheld version but the basic device is the same, the difference is one of focus and power level. This can be repaired and modified to affect larger objects so as to allow us repair and reshape our own hull's armored shell.
I have instructed Logistics to see to repairing and upgrading the Transhammer immediately. Because part of the device exists outside this space/time, it will be a slow process as Logistics will need to handle the delicate adjustments with extreme care. I have slowed Hull 101 to a more appropriate speed and Logistics is constructing a maintenance environment suitable for working with trans-newtonian materials.
Sorting through the rest of the cache, I believe we can bring some our smaller tactical weaponry online. Alternatively we could repurpose the material for other repairs.
Using these materials I could bring Combat/Tactical systems online to include:
7x 20cm kinetic accelerators
4x 40cm mortars
1x 120cm howitzer
Alternatively I may be able to use these materials to reactivate the C-D engines and re-enable primary propulsion methods. Although we do not currently have the energy budget to operate the C-D engines for more than a few microseconds, Logistics has proposed that we scrap the current build for the Soliton Furnace and scale the design up using the captured materials and Hullmetal reinforcement. Doing so we could achieve short bursts of high mobility movement. Possibly even sub-orbital//orbital maneuvering, if the device operates to spec. This is an untested technology application but EWAR endorsed the idea.
Well, to be accurate she said "Hell yes captain, let's get this bitch in orbit" which I took to be an affirmative answer.
I feel compelled to remind you that we have no weaponry effective against the fleet tonnage we detected in orbit. We do not yet have eyes on that fleet so do not know the exact makeup of the ships but our APDS is not effective in zero atmosphere as it relies on ionization channels through the air to guide the bolt.
Should I concentrate on weaponry or try to get our C-D engines running and possible orbital capability?
