CHAPTER 1
Derik’s first command
Derik addresses DeDerik, his dragon, and the second in command on the new ship, the Dreadnought; “Chandra, my Father, and Linda stuffed so many upgrades into this hull that I have no idea what this ship has all under its skin. Of course, that does not include the changes Doc already had made on my behalf.”
However, our first transitional jump will be to the outer side of the Carina arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. That will be a little over a kiloparsec from Crystal and towards the galactic core.
I have already given the coordinates to D4; that is the new crystalline computer Chandra installed into the Dreadnought for me. The D4 is as powerful as Doc and Chandra herself; they were not cheap on the upgrades for this refurbished ship. The entire hull is refitted with smart metal and programmed by D4, into a three-layered construction, with a passageway between the layers for maintenance. I am trying to impress you with DeDerik that we are in the safest spaceship that my Father and Chandra could construct. However, I am quite confident that glitches will come up with so many innovations that they through into this hull. The Dreadnought does not even resemble the old ship they extracted from the silo from the echinoderm planet.
I am familiar with what was done to this ship Derik; Doc gave me a complete download of all the innovations and functions before departing from Crystal-Eaton space. D4 has a list of everything incorporated into the ship; it might be worth taking a few minutes in the learning library before we run into one of those glitches you mentioned. Some of the innovations are so new that Doc had to review them several times before fully understanding their function. The hull has over a thousand configurations. I still do not fully understand how D4 can change the configuration of the hull and not affect the inner structure or function of the Dreadnought.
I will go to my ready room and let D4 give me a rundown on the essential functions; maybe he can shed some light on your concerns. In the meantime, we will be cruising out of the system for a few more hours before we attempt a transitional jump. I am always concerned about jumping a large ship like this due to the large vacuum in space it leaves behind.
D4 is DeDerik feeling well; his voice sounds somehow strained to me as if his vocal cords have pulled tighter.
I cannot say that I have Derik. However, this is a first for him, being the first officer on a starship, and the transformation to a Felis may have something to do wit h it.
I will give you the manifest of the Dreadnought first; then, you can select what you would like more detailed information. Like hull configuration, I listened while you and DeDerik were discussing the ma tter.
Sitting behind his desk and looking at the large wall screen, Derik asks, “Split the monitor screen, with the manifest list on the right and the explanation on the left. I can see now how this will take some time to work through. How many items are on the manifest list?”
Over ten-thousand if you count the specialty nuts and bolts. Remember, you started with an alien spaceship. Their tooling was set up on a base five numbering system, and their meter was five centimeters longer than the one your Father brought from earth. Every fitting had to be specially cut; that is why so many Sandys worked on this ship. The good news is that Chandra let you keep half the Sandys that were sent out. We, therefore, have a better crew of worker androids than Hugo.
D4 cut the manifest down to the essentials pertaining to the safety of the ship; I do not need to know where every nut and bolt goes right now. Just give me a general overview of everything we have.
I see we have a fully staffed med-lab aboard; I guess Linda must have thought I might get sick or injured; it has her seal on the installation order. Do you know anything about that, DeDerik?
No Captain; however, Vicky installed it herself to ensure it was all in working order. She even had a crystalline mainframe installed for the copy of Doctor Simon and Sandy as his avatar. The avatar will maintain the entire med-lab facility. Linda even brought in four multifunctional recovery tanks that can grow or re-grow a single cell body. That is why they took blood samples from us when we came back on board the ship.
I was wondering about that; another concern was how long
