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.

[Interesting hypothesis! You could ask her later.]

Yes, I understand. [She lies, like a liar. But it’s the socially appropriate thing to say!] But those parts are usually analog, and therefore outside my capabilities.

[SXT-2 turns towards Curufin, the gesture parodying attentiveness.]

Okay! What’s the next step?

Want to handwave the actual repairs? We could catch up in some future thread!

[ He will ask her later! ]

[ Let's hear it for social lies! They certainly do come in handy. ] Analog parts are my specialty, so we're good to go.

Let's tackle the power generators that are offline. First thing to do is see how much information we can get from right here in the command center, and then proceed to the engineering department. [ He smiles at her. He knows they'll need to look at the digital readouts, and she could be really helpful with that. ]

yep, sure! let's wrap up here then ^^

[Oh, this one's a smiler. Character trait noted.]

Okay. Tell me what you need me to do.

And it's a wrap!

[ Yes, he's a smiler. It is a useful and a highly enjoyable character trait! ]

All right, so. . . [ They discuss and decide, and then proceed to repairs. They get the power back on. ]
