[RP] Turn 40: IS 2115 Blair Atholl

[Daemonknight]

Star Commodore Vincent was pleased with his crew. The newly built CSRS Cairo and her sister ship, CSRS Carthage, had slipped their moorings at the shipyards above Sudeten only 8 days ago. After a week of trials in space to ensure all systems were go(with only a few minor glitches in the system, easily fixed), the two ships were fully combat ready. After a quick refit back at the orbital docks, they had tested the final system: the K-F drive.

The successful jump had placed them at the Nadir jump point at Blair Atholl's sun. The Snow Raven fleet had escorted the three ships(a single Scout-class Jumpship had accompanied the two warships to ferry the crews back to Sudeten) were allowed into the Raven's defensive perimeter.

"Communications, open a channel to the Raven orbital dockyard. I'm sure the Ravens are eager to get settled aboard their vessels."

After a few moments, the view screen opened, showing a Snow Raven officer.

"Greetings from the CSRS Cairo. Your ships are ready to receive their crews. We've completed our trials and all systems check out within operational limits. We have a complete report on her performance, and the trials have been stored in the databanks for review at your leisure. The Carthage aswell is fit for operation. We shall await your crews to turn over command of your vessels once you arrive."

"Star Commodore, your invitation to come and claim these ships has not gone unheard. There are several dropships and shuttles headed to your location for the official Trial of Possession for these ships. The time of testing is over. There is still much work to do. We have received word of our new Yardship's departure from Ironhold. It will not be here before construction is complete. On our end, the repairs to Bay 7 are almost complete, one more step to complete the arrangement bargained for. Bargained for well I might add."
