When I went to visit my friend Simon at Mars Utopia Planitia yards, on a construction on his ship which I’m looking at it right in front of me…… in the early hours in the morning… given that’s in earth hours, not in Martians hours… impressive of its small size of 190 meters of his ship, but knowing, it can really punch serious damage of its size… looking at his ship, sitting a chair in construction lounge in the dry docks, drinking a cup of Earl grey tea, over with some cupcakes that I found in the food Replicators menu.. I sat down on chair next to the window with the encompassing view of his ship.. in the making…. Thinking that Diner girl must be envying me that seeing one in construction…. Next time that I’m in town going tell her about it…
As I was watching the, work bees assembling the warp nacelles to the nacelles supports, then seeing then adding more hull plating in finishing some of its sections on the saucer sections… seeing the other module of his ship installed slowly delicately.. by a few work bees, assembling the photon torpedo launcher into the hull… the other installation is the cannons…
Working on in eating the second cupcake, plus finishing it off with a sipping the tea from my cup.. Hearing over in the distance a door sliding open… it was Simon…walking over… to the table that I was eating at… he walked over. I stood up, and greeted him. “Hey…” I said looking at him in uniform… and I out of uniform, but very casual… we talked to see how things are, he was great, looking forward to his new ship. And also seeing someone very special in his life, her name is Trina Masson… he told me how they met… as I got out my sort of hipster-ish black frame spectacles, which acts like a secondary HUD display…out from my side jacket pocket..
As we walked over to the catwalk tunnel in leading to his ship, in which has as he describe it’ll be ready for the first launch, and maiden flight… a within a couple of weeks… as explains that the warp nacelles are going be finalized in place in the few days…
Walking around, he’s explains that his ship not only small, but it can out maneuver a large Starship… and it’s flexible in very similar to the Nova variant classes sciences vessels sizes but his larger having a basic hull rating of 15,000 b… we walked around his ship.. he explains that that it has three forwards weapons loads, one afterwards, he told me that yesterday, that they’ve just installed one forward and rear Phaser arrays, forward dual canons, also a photon torpedo launcher…
Has we stopped by on his bridge still with some wiring hanging down with some installation is still going on, he asked his crew it to carry on, without the formalities of having two Captains on the bridge…he went off to his not yet unfurnished ready room, just to pick of some items.. Then later he explained the bridge stations consoles, in which orthough it’s a Saber, but underneath it’s an Escort-Refit, Gladius class… which makes it great than from the other sister variants.. looking out on the main view screen and walked over he access it data explaining it, it has an universal impulse capacitance cell, which gives an added advantage of giving a plus Impulse Burst on flight speed also on defenses having the engines generating extra energy on giving out on shields but he also says having an impulse burst. It doesn’t go well when turning though, having to strain the retros to turn.
Another thing that he shown me it’s the bridge stations having four, of two tactical at lieutenant stations which is a good thing… in the previous one it lesser consoles… having on his bridge is other two consoles, of ensigns stations of engineering, also sciences.
Orthough his crew is small unlike, the other one, that he serve on, in which is currently of fifty, instead of two hundred… we headed to engineering, seeing the ships warp core, not beating at the moment. Then Simon shows me around, looking that the finalization installation of the impulse engines. Then later it’s housing installed, he mention the how Trina and him was talking about what various, engine types, she chosen in what providing engine power to weapons systems… he told me that Trina works in the Starfleet Corps of Engineers.. she noted that it to him, as he told me, that it can do a pretty sharp sixteen degrees turn per second, in a percentage boost to impulse of .2 percent , also to added shields of .9 percent , but that could be modified with configurations of the ships console, of having two engineering, one science, two tactical…, in which he mention that he installed two Phaser batteries banks, in provide much more fire power and beam overloads, also having the torpedo systems that it could do a folly of Torpedo spreads, in giving out more damage…
Has we, walked out from engineering, making way towards, picking up dinner in the drydock ‘s lounge, and Simon noticed a slight difference in me, seeing that I’m not sort of lost anymore only little bit.. he wondered with a be muse look on his face that’s saying whom is that awesome person, or girl.. my life, taunting with some questions, and keep asking me….” who is she..?” with a happy curious look.. And I said… it with a happy thoughtfully smile… “ it’s Diner girl.. ..”
