Chapter 1156 1156 In We Go
Nico waited for Max to get his thoughts in order and explain. She had looked over everything, but she didn't recognize that ship from anywhere in any memory. Nico was familiar with a number of World Ships with similar designs, but Creeping Night wasn't a name that she knew.
She listened carefully as Max explained everything that happened in the flashback, and how the ship in front of them related to that situation, as it had been destroyed days before the last stand, when space around the planet was still contested between the two forces, before the barrier had been placed over the surface, keeping both sides out and preventing further imbalance in favour of the Energy Beings. nove(lB)1n
"So, somehow it ended up here? You know, if the star system that it was in was among the ones that were here during the final battles, when they were smashed into nebulae, then it might have been thrown who knows how far before it hit something large enough to kill its momentum. It's had long enough to have crossed half the universe even at less than light speed, if the estimate of when the planets here were destroyed is correct." Nico suggested.
That made more sense than Max would like to admit. If it had run into something solid at this location, it could have been virtually stopped, while the other object would have been thrown away. It would match with the current situation, as well as the dilapidated state of the world ship.
"So, what do we do now? Do you know how it works? Unless it's a coincidence, a long-lost Alliance ship with the same name, then you should have some knowledge about its drive systems, right?" Nico asked.
Max nodded. "Yeah, I know a thing or two about that series of World Ships. I spent a lot of time touring the Empire inside one of them after the battles ended."
Max and Nico shared an amused look while Nico calculated how long that would actually take. Given the sixty kilometre spherical diameter of the ship and the distance to move the bodies, with the force that they had, not more than two months. Less if the ship had been sparsely populated.
"Yes, that might be impractical." Max eventually agreed.
"So, are we going to go inside and take a look?" The team member asked with a pleading look that she had obviously been practising for just this sort of situation.
"Yes, we are going in. There is an open cargo bay door that leads to an intact bay. We will enter there and secure it with the Cutter's shields so that we can work and start trying to connect to the World Ship's power systems and bring at least some corridor lights online so we can see what we're doing." Max informed her.
"Perfect, I will go tell the others to start getting ready. Good thing we have a load of small drones, they can spread out and map the interior of the ship for us while we are getting everything working. Once we have a map of the hallways and open areas, we will have a much better idea of what we're facing during this salvage operation."
They definitely hadn't given up on getting the ship working well enough to bring it home with them. They would be legends among their peers if they managed to salvage and refurbish a World Ship.
Most of the Tech Nomads renovated derelict pleasure yachts as their home, but a World Ship was on an unheard of level of Tech Nomad Salvage. The humans in the team were all Reavers, and salvaging an abandoned ship was how almost all new Reaver Companies began, and how many of the smaller ones expanded.
They wouldn't give up on this prize easily either, as the Commander and team that salvaged a ship had first dibs on it by Reaver law, and they all knew that Max and Nico didn't need the ship, so there was a greater than zero chance that they might get to make up part of the Command team for the Creeping Night.
