Chapter 1163 1163 Progress
After a solid week of work on the abandoned World Ship's power systems and intensive percussive maintenance on the manual actuation mechanisms for the blast doors, the entire marked zone around their cargo bay was now operational, and Nico was ready to start trying to bring it online while the drones and androids continued to search the rooms for relics and any hint of technology left behind by the former occupants of the ship.novelB1n
According to the power route tracing that she had managed to do, as long as the whole zone was sealed off, she should be able to bring the power back online for this zone, and hopefully that would bring back some sort of functions beyond lights and doors.
There weren't many screens in the ship, and the chances that any of them would operate in a vacuum after being frozen for millennia were very slim. But even a single operational console would be enough to save them months in their work to bring more of the ship back online.
"How is the final check?" Max asked while the team prepared one last round of energy drinks before the big job started.
"Everything looks good. All we need to do is remotely activate the last three inline breakers that we had the Androids install as they were fixing the doors, and we will know if the power system in the zone is salvageable." Nico replied.
Once the snacks and drinks were readied in their spill proof antigravity cupholders with attached bowl, an Innu invention, they all crossed their fingers for luck and ran the script to bring all the doors and lights online from their location.
"We have action. Not quite perfect, we have a few jammed or damaged door mechanisms that won't cycle. I will get the androids on that right away. They're closed for now, we just need to convince the system that they are." Nico narrated.
One after another, the doors cycled, and the lights in the hallways and rooms came online, powered by the link from the Cutter. Then a few of the secondary systems began to come online.
At the same time, the information screens all over the zone, which had looked like plain portions of wall until that moment, lit up with basic information, declaring in an ancient language that there was still no atmosphere in the sealed area, but that it was otherwise sealed.
"That's it, ladies and Max. We have one zone sealed and functional. Now, we can start moving on to the next zone. From what my scans have shown, the World Ship is fairly conventional in construction, with an organized spherical grid layout, so the core functions should actually be at the core. If we work our way inward, we should reach the ship's main operations areas in the most efficient manner.
The exterior scans have revealed the location of the bridge as well, and it is only a few zones above us, which makes it worth exploring in that direction as well. The bridge might contain overrides that will allow us to bring more of the ship back online as soon as we have repaired whatever damage was done to the main power systems." Nico declared.
The team gathered at the coffee pot to confer about their plan of action, while Max sent the androids around to see if any of the machinery in the zone had spontaneously begun to operate. There was no telling if something might have continued where it left off when the ship was disabled.
Not that there was much left. Even before the crew had been deployed, this had been a fairly spartan military vessel, and now, after the remaining occupants had grabbed everything they could carry and fled, only the most solidly fixed devices remained.
But what he did find was that now the vertical storage lockers everywhere but in the dorm areas were unlocked. All the stored exercise equipment, spare gear and uniforms were available for inspection by the drones, giving them another influx of data about the people who used to live here.
It was a fascinating discovery. Mostly because of the similarity to Kepler training routines. The inside of the lockers had regulation workout patterns, military physical training exercises and even hydration requirements written inside of them for the Commanders to have their troops follow. Nothing was left to chance, it was all clearly detailed inside the equipment storage lockers.
The physical standards information alone was incredibly valuable to their study of the ancient humans. But with the included nutrition and hydration information, it gave them an almost complete view of the species' daily requirements.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
