Orange Team Onward!

Arrival

Their flight path makes sure they are well out of the way of both the battles taking place and they get to the shield station within an hour as long as they fly quickly.

There are no enemy ships around but it is clear there has been an attack, the shield disk itself is damaged and there seems to be no power in the station.

Once they dock they will be met by some technicians who quickly explain the situation.

Help is needed everywhere. The power needs repaired, the shield needs repaired from the outside, there are injured technicians who need medical care. There is a small med-bay available.

Maintenance

Once the initial crisis is dealt with it is a case of keeping up with things. A patrol is needed to guard the station from other attacks, there are four shield stations in total and so the voidtreckers may chose to split themselves once things are a little calmer.

Keeping up the shields is an almost constant job, especially with the attacks. Once one thing is fixed it seems another thing is down. The maintenance itself is very technical but there are parts that can be done by the unskilled as long as they have direction.

Peter's thought is more if they can control things remotely then they can pull people out of the line of fire-thus saving a few lives. He bites at his lip and stares at the calculations he's been doing. If they increase shield density it is very possible the enemy will attack on the other side and Peter's not too sure if he could reverse the change. Is there a way he can increase the shield without weakening another part?

"Yeah, I don't really want to give them an easy in." He says calmly, leaning over and scribbling in another calculation. "...I need more wires." He decides, getting up on his feet again.

All important things to consider!

Curufin nods. "Nor would I. I'd be interested in looking at your calculations, if you'd be willing to show them to me. I can't say I'd be able to make suggestions, but I've taught myself enough engineering math so that I think I'd at least be able to decipher your thinking. And as for the wires, there's a stockroom in the Engineering Department. Want me to go and bring out some more wires and cables? Or shall we go together?"
