Committee Chairman Rupert Harper waited anxiously for the arrival of the Ancient Ones; he was today giving them a tour of the factory where the new Void Matter Reactors were being built at the Anderson system shipyards the only place in the Ancerious galaxy where TDA Warships were produced. Today the factory would be pumping out the first one and the AO were invited to see it. The very idea of these reactors existing perplexed Alliance engineers and scientists alike but with significant help from the AO they were able to come up with a manufacturing technique for TDA factories to use. He wasn’t alone he was also accompanied by several leading scientist and engineers as well as Diplomat Greg Darcy who would do most of the talking today, he also heard that there were more deals that the Alliance Government wanted to try and strike with the AO after today’s ceremony.
A small fleet of three Ancient Ones Escorts arrived at the same time, though to outside observers it appeared to be as if the ships materialized from nothing. The three ships sat in a V formation in front of the shipyards. Their crystalline hull glimmering in the light of the system’s star.
“This is Raven of the Ancient One Hegemony, we have arrived to see the new ships you have produced.” Raven said through the coms. “I hope we aren’t late.”
“Raven this is docking command you’re right time and have a docking bay set up for you. Transmitting coordinates now.” The docking control officer replied happily
“I’ll be coming over soon.” Raven said. The center Escort slowly pulled up next to the station. The hull shifted and morphed to fit the docking clamp. The doors opened and Raven walked out, this time she was accompanied by two Commons and a Commander. The group looked around and Raven smiled.
As the AO delegation stepped on board the station the on looking TDA crowd erupted into applause for them. After several moment when the applause subsided Darcy and Harper stepped forward to greet Raven.
“Greetings Raven it’s a pleasure to finally meet you, I’m diplomat Greg Darcy and this is Chairmen Rupert Harper of the warship manufacturing committee.” Darcy politely as Harper offered a quick nod of his head when addressed.
“It’s our honour to show to you today the fruition of our joint venture, if you’ll follow me this way to the factory.” Harper said directing the AO delegation to the factory floor while they were followed by the rest of the TDA delegation and a small amount of reporters. They entered the factory and walked along the observation platform several metres above the main production line. He stopped the delegations above the main 3D printing press for the generators.
“As you can see down below this is where the main frame of the generators are constructed, we have thirty four more factories coming online in the next two months to meet the demand that the fleet needs as well as another twenty six planned to be constructed in another year.” He said enthusiastically before leading the delegations further down the line the 3D printers seemed endless until they reached the end and the second stage began.
“Here is where the magic happen the containment units and the void matter are both assembled into the frame. A process that we couldn’t of even fathomed with the help of our benefactors.” He said pointing to the AO delegation as the TDA delegation applauded before leading the delegation again further down the production line. He led them right to the end of the production line where the first generator was being taken off the line. The delegation then left the observation walkway and went down to the factory floor watched the first generator get taken off the conveyer and placed it onto the ground.
“Ladies and gentlemen this is the future of power generation for the TDA its so many times more powerful than current methods I can’t even remember the exact number. Again I would like to offer a massive thanks to the AO with you none of this would be possible.” More applause from the TDA delegation followed.
Harper shook hands with Raven in front of the generator as several reporters took pictures to capture the even for the history books. After several moment of taking questions Harper had the reporters dismissed as well as most of the TDA delegation except for Darcy.
“Now to show you what we’re doing with this new tech.” Harper said leading everyone out the factory.
Harper led everyone through a series of elevators and transit systems until they were at the ship yards. He led them to an observation room where he enhanced the view on an area and bought up several schematics on a nearby terminal.
“This is the next generation of TDA warships. I present to you the Articles Class Super Carrier, the Deliverance Class Dreadnaught, the Salvation Class Battleship, Liberation Class Battle Carrier, Self-Determination Class Carrier, the Opportunity MK2 Heavy cruiser, Justice Class MK2 Light Cruiser, Democracy MK2 Frigate.” He said enthusiastically going through and showing the ship schematics as well directing their attention to where each ship was being constructed. He took a moment to catch his breath.
“This tech has revolutionised our fleet we can now sport more weapons and defences on every ship increasing our force projection several fold. And we have you to thank for it.” Harper said
“Well, we are certainly glad to see that you’ve made the most out of the technology we have given you.” Raven said with a smile. She looked through the ship plans and thoroughly looked through the specifications for each. The Commander stepped forward and knelt down slightly.
”We will be on stand by if you need anything else about this reactor. How ever, do not fail to remember how dangerous it can be.” The Commander spoke telepathically to those in attendance. ”If needed we have several more technologies within the Grand Library on Stella O Fortuna if you wish to know.” It offered.
“We hope to be welcomed back when you unveil this ships so that we may see the fruits of our alliance.” Raven said warmly.
Darcy stood up from a chair in the corner as if on que buttoning up his suit jacket as he approached Raven.
“Of course, when the first one is off the assembly line you’ll be invited to the launching ceremony. And speaking of alliances we’d like to further cement ours.” Darcy paused as he took out a tablet from his jacket and presenting it to Raven.
“We’d like to expand our relations but instituting a mutual defence pact to help ensure further cooperation and excellent relations between our peoples. Along with this R&D is willing to open up and give you exclusive access to the TDA technical library as well as all scientific journals, Since from what we understand your goals are trying to understand everything about the universe and since you helped us so much we though to repay the favour.” He said with a smile
Raven took the tablet and looked over the information presented in it. A smile began to grow on her face as she read through it. Using her finger she sighed the contract and handed it back to Darcy.
“To further relations.” Raven said as she held out her hand.
Darcy took Ravens hand and shook it briefly. Before looking over to Harper and nodding at him. Harper walked over and handed another tablet to Raven.
“You’ll need these encryption keys to access our network and allows direct access to the whole library of technical documents and scientific journals all at your fingertips.” Harper said cheerfully
After the deal was done the AO delegation were escorted back to their ships and were met with a flurry of applause and reporters back at the main docking area as they boarded their ships. Then as quickly as they came they left their ships disappearing back into the void.
