Re: Refuge for Rookies

Flapjack, while rubbing his sore cheek turned to Hewitt

"You know, that might actaully work. While your psychics might be able to get the heat up, can they also get the super-conducting magnets running? More interesting is the fact that with Hewitt's reactor, we can jump start up to a much higher powerlevel."

With that, Flapjack grabs Hewitt's arm and starts down the stairs to the lowest level while thinking of the closest link-up to the powergrid

Re: Refuge for Rookies

Hentrepis: Jumpstarting stuff is my specialty...
AcidK: I'm sure a few of the higher-level psychics can help get the heat up whilst the others the the superconducting magnets up and running. I would estimate about thirty psychics needed for the tasks, and a further ten psychics to make sure nothing explodes. Then yet another ten for precaution, just in case something does happen that is out of control.

Re: Refuge for Rookies

*Rolls his eyes at Acidk.*

"Do you guys really have nothing better to do than jumpstart engines? And I don't suppose you guys have ever heard of the KISS standard before eh?"

*Hewitt looks around the darkened room and then chuckles*

"I mean really... fifty psychics? With still a chance of explosion? Come on. It's just a jumpstart ffs, once FJ shows me where to place the hook up I can get this baby going on my own... with zero chance of explosion. Save your energy, one reactor just needs a small kick up the ass to get a reaction going again and from there all other reactors can be restarted... right FJ?"

Re: Refuge for Rookies

Flapjack looked around the darkened room from the doors to the stairs and grinned, though he doubted anybody could actaully see him grinning.

"I'll just stall his reactors to get mine up to power, with 1 reactor at 15% I can boot up the other reactors, about 2 minutes after the other reactors come back online I'll have enough power to start up a quantum reactor and get everything but the main gun back online."

After saying that, Flapjack headed down the stairs. 300 decks was a long way without an elevator

Re: Refuge for Rookies

*Grinning inwardly, Hewitt began to follow FJ but turned back towards the psychics to say one last thing before he left.*

"You know if you guys really want to do something useful that no one else here cannot why don't you try and locate our pirate friend Slick yeah?"

AcidK: Unmoved, he's been taken captive on a Hope Destroyer for attempting to breach Shraan Spacelines without a code and without authority. Apparently he refused to turn around.

Re: Refuge for Rookies

OOC/ May i point out, what i ACTUALLY said was tactical prepare to fire the guns. All i did was the engineering behind it. It was Hewitt who decided that i'd fired the guns myself. Secondly, I did not say i was using power from the batteries. Energy stored within something can easily be transferred elsewhere. Some ppl need to learn to read fs./OOC

Re: Refuge for Rookies

ooc/ Brimstone, the quantum, when firing at 100%, drains all on-board powersources down to minimal power, firing it at 101% stalls the reactors and drains all powercells. So any attempt at overloading will result in a full system stall.
Secondly, I don't care who said you fired it, you're the 1 who overloaded it in the first place! /ooc

After several hours of running down stairs, Flapjack finally arrived in the docking bay with the spacetank and ran over to it, then looked around for a couple of seconds.

"I'm sure that port was around here somewhere, we use it for recharging the combat drones, but I'm pretty sure it'll work both ways."

Another few moments later, Flapjack spotted the small yellow circle denoting the energy port's access and walked over to it, the emergency lighting giving off a ghastly yellow.

"Let's see, how did you open these things..."

Re: Refuge for Rookies

ooc: People please this is a non-serious thread, let's try to keep it that way yeah?

"Right, well... while you're doing that I guess I'll move the tank into a better position."

*Walking away from flapjack as he tinkers with the incredibly high voltage outlet, Hewitt makes his way over to the dark siluoette that is his recently modified spacetank. Popping the drivers hatch he climbs in and sets about initiating the start up sequences when he hears a faint sound coming from inside the cbin behind him. Pausing for a minute or so, Hewitt so realises this faint sound is in fact snoring. Flicking on the cabin light floods the cabin with dim light that seems bright, so it takes a few seconds to realise that there is a sleeping figure inside....

It's General Gieger, asleep in a drunken stupor no doubt. *

"So that's what happened to our fearless leader... "

*Shruging his shoulders, Hewitt gets back to starting up the tank and once this is done, driving it over to where flapjack is with the energy port.*

Re: Refuge for Rookies

*Flapjack, after experiencing what was probably 1 of the scarier moments of his life when the spacetank almost rolled over him, quickly connected a set of high capicity powerlines to the tank's power-outlets and yelled at Hewitt to flip the switch, while he himself ran for the engineering room to manually release the fuel into the reactor and to finish his redirect of power into the reactor*

Re: Refuge for Rookies

"Ten four there FJ."

*Hewitt flipped a switch and instantiously power from the tanks fusion reactor began to flow out through the jumper cables and into the ships energy access port.*

Re: Refuge for Rookies

*AcidK opened a small portal from his mouth to near FJ and Hewitt were and began speaking down it.*

Power rising by 2% per second average... I beleive this would be enough to get the reactor going. Beginning rerouting proceedures to jump start the other reactors.

Re: Refuge for Rookies

*Down in engineering, Flapjack manually triggered the fuel release, immediatly afterwards followed by resetting the primary heater breaker, instantly bringing the fuel up to reaction temperatures, the reactor starting up to 1% and thus becoming self-sufficient and slowly going up to power*

*Flapjack didn't want to wait however and jumped up to the power-distribution console, dropping power to all parts of the ship (Acidk, your console is out again :P) and rerouting it to super-capicator 1, which after almost a full second discharged, along with stalling Hewitt's reactor, instantly pumping another huge amount of energy into the reactor*

*After another 2 seconds, power to the rest of the ship starts coming back, the first of the fusion reactors now at 100% and the others auto-restarting*

"Estimate 1 minute till quantum reactor 1 comes back online, about 3 minutes till we reach full power. I'll come back up to the bridge as soon as reactor 1 comes online."

Re: Refuge for Rookies

*Hewitt frantically works on restarting the small fusion reactor when the huge energy drain causes it to stall.*

"Hey! Easy on the load there Flapjack, I still have uses for this vehicle you know."

Re: Refuge for Rookies

*Flapjack comes back onto the bridge as the first quantum reactor comes up to full power, quickly tapping some buttons and opening up the energy outlet to Hewitt's ship in both ways, so that Hewitt can now safely restart his reactor in the fast way*

"Okay, anything we still had to discuss? Now that I have the reactors back online I'd like to get this show on the road."

Re: Refuge for Rookies

Hentrepis: As I see it now in my mind, three Demai Cruisers are already around us, ready to escort us to where we need. Their ships are crystalyn-built and can find a lot more energy than we can for their ships to move at the same speeds as this vessel.

*Hentrepis opened his eyes and looked thoughtfully at a wall, frowning and looking as if he could not see anything that was currently around him, but something that was hidden far deeper.*

Hentrepis: I can see you look for a key... the start of the journey lies within what remains of Shraan, an asteroid that still holds the dead and the living...

*Hentrepis blinked and then looked around.*

Hentrepis: I can see no more...
AcidK: FJ, can this ship survive heavy waves of EMP? I believe I know where our destination lies...

Re: Refuge for Rookies

*Flapjack turned to Hentrepis first, staring him straight in the eye for a moment before looking over to the engineering console, then looking back to Hentrepis*

"Can those crystalline ships survive a high-density multi-dimensional wormhole? Cuzz my slipstream drive will fry out if I try it in EMP zones, all the other systems should be able to handle it and the secondaries are all PUC rated."

*Flapjack then turned to Acidk, nodding for a moment before frantically starting to enter numbers*

"Calculating wormhole power and trajectory for a single hop to low Shraan orbit, I just hope flightcontrol won't be to startled when we pop up out of nowhere. Trish, get Hewitt back in his pilot seat here, I need someone capable of handling a ship this size, and give me tonnages on those Demai cruisers, I really don't want to miss a digit this time."

Trish: "Hmm, nice tank he's go there, he's gonna have to leave it for my teleporters to lock onto him. Got you those Demai cruiser figures on your front desk sir, they tried to block my scans out but they sure as hell don't know shit about us."

Re: Refuge for Rookies

AcidK: They should be able to withstand it, multi-dimensional warp drives are their primary FTL engines. I would not bother with an... orbit, FJ. Jump to a little way from what used to be the planet. The entire system is one large asteroid feild now, but the asteroid we would be looking for should be near the outskirts.
Verisa: I'm sending a telepathic comunication to the ships so they can relay their tonnage value. Every Demai ship is different, not one looks the same, but they all carry the same style of weapory.
