AutoTerra: Operating Systems
Chapter 53: Bridge
The plane slowly flew closer to the wreckage of the Feron 072. They were watching every corner of the ship that could be seen. The situation is quite severe, there is some damage in each body of the ship, but still looks sturdy.
In addition, they also saw one plane the size of their plane drifting some distance from the ship. From the emblem found on the fuselage, they believe the plane was a shipment from the same battalion.
“They really fared,” muttered Edrick when he saw the wreck of the plane. Then he asked the pilot, “About which part of this plane could land?”
“Above the bridge. Usually there is an emergency Airlock line to get in and out of the ship,” replied the pilot was still focused on his control.
“OK. Just point it there.”
“Siap, Chairman.”
The plane was flown to the top of the bridge, one of the front areas used for full control of the ship.
“Alright, everyone. In a moment, we'll be landing on Feron 072. Prepare yourself, install your armor, make sure the oxygen supply on the armor is met, and prepare with each weapon. We'll start doing searches!”
“Siap, Chairman!”
All members removed the seat belts in their seats, removing a kind of metal backpack on each storage system. Astan also took out the backpack.
Metal backpacks are a portable form of the armor they will wear. Behind the backpack is a neural scanner. From that feature, the armor will be automatically attached according to the commands on the nerves of the user's body.
This advanced armor in addition to functioning as a protector, also serves as an unblemished astronaut suit that has an oxygen reservoir and breathing apparatus so that it can be used in a vacuum and is rich in radiation. It is equipped with dark vision, and special hearing features in order to hear sounds that would normally not be heard in a vacuum like space.
Astan just put up that backpack. He had seen the other members were ready with complete armor mounted automatically on each body. His heterochrome eyes also saw the figure of Edrick about to put the armor in the corner of the plane, appearing to turn their backs while trying to remove the hat and mask that always covered his face.
I don't know why Edrick hid his face that tight. Maybe something happened to the chief's face.
Astan shook his head, putting aside his curiosity about Edrick's face. Through the orders on his mind, the backpack automatically transformed into sophisticated military armor. A thick, hard, unblemished armour.
The plane began landing on the bridge. The door at the bottom of the fuselage was created, connected to the Airlock line at the top of the bridge. Unfortunately, the Airlock here doesn't work. The remaining air on the ship was also confirmed to be unsafe, so they still had to wear armor during the journey to help with breathing as well.
“OK, everything is confirmed ready?” ask Edrick to make sure.
“Siap, Chairman!”
“Good. Now, we start moving!”
Team Aravan071 members disembark from the aircraft to the ship's platform in turn, starting from Edrick, Wirma, and other members. Astan itself just dropped in the turn of the sequence rather middle. He and the rest of the team immediately took an alert position, ready with their respective weapons, noting the state of the entire bridge through dark vision and flashlights available on the armour.
As he landed on the floor, Astan was a bit confused to realize he could still stand firm. Supposedly, if indeed all the engines on this ship die, then the gravity counter engine or the like will not work. Surely it will make them all hover inside the ship.
“Kok can still stand firm, yes?” ask me slowly Astan.
Wirma who had heard him answer, “Space ships of this kind each floor is made of special materials made of materials that are created to have their own gravity. So even without some kind of gravity balancing machine, we can still stand, walk, and run as well as when inside the planet.”
“Ooo...” Astan nodded in understanding.
He just heard that there is such a gravity-forming material. As he remembered, their Guild ship was still using a gravity balancing machine. So, if the Crystal Core generator runs out, yes all the ship's functions are off, including the gravity counterweight.
Surely special materials are fairly expensive to buy.
When you look at the bridge, everything looks chaotic. Control, navigation and steering equipment were badly damaged, windows were almost cracked, tools were scattered, and the floor of the bridge was also destroyed. In addition, there were blood spots on every wall and floor. This bridge room looks so awful.
“Report, Vice Chairman,” pinta Edrick while paying attention to the circumstances around the assault rifle position ready to take aim.
Wirma lowered the rifle, watching the radar he was carrying. “No suspicious object detected around here. Everything is safe.”
The vice chairman also checked the temperature, humidity, and air that was still on the ship using a special detection device. “Temperature here is still stable. The air is still there. However, this tool can not read the composition and stability of the air. Likely, the air here was contaminated by a mysterious element. Just in case, we should keep wearing the armor until the mission is complete.”
All the members began to lower their attitude of vigilance, again paying attention to the state of the entire bridge.
“Here is still air?” ask Astan again to Wirma. “Padahat pas again saw outside earlier, the condition of this ship is like having severe damage. I thought there was going to be an air leak.”
Wirma obliterated its detection device into the system storage. “The structure of this ship is very strong to be able to survive in space for many years, so the air can still be trapped tightly while there is no very fatal damage from the most important points of the ship.”
“Perhaps some parts of the ship are already damaged and have air leakage.” Wirma shook her own head. “We don't know either. To be sure, we still need to use the armor while on this ship just in case. The composition of the air here is unclear. Most likely, the composition was mixed with a mysterious element that my detection device could not detect. ”
Astan only nodded in return. Things like this were completely incomprehensible to him. What is clear is that he only needs to follow orders to keep wearing armor during the mission on this spacecraft.
“This place is really chaotic, like being hit by a collision,” Astan murmured when looking around the ceiling of the bridge.
“The control machines have also been completely damaged,” Sadin commented when touching one of the broken machines. “ Won't work anymore even if we are able to revive the Ship Core.”
Some members were busy with their own opinions and comments when they were just exploring the bridge, until Edrick returned to his voice.
“OK. So, like the original plan, we will go to the Energy Generation Area first in order to open access to some of the places we are targeting. Focus on this plan first. After that, wait for the next command.”
Some of them just nodded.
While tracing the entire bridge, Wirma found the exit gate of the bridge completely open.
“Chairman, the gate is open.” Wirma touched the edge of that gate. “If you look around, it looks like this gate has been open long enough.”
“Perhaps the gate has been opened by the team before— Eh, chicken, chicken bunting.”
Edrick accidentally chattered because his foot stepped on a broken machine piece. Some members almost laughed at him, but tried to hold him back.
This kind of situation is not suitable for fun.
Wirma patted Edrick on the shoulder. “You're…. I can't break the habit. Shy viewed other members.”
“Ya, sorry. I'll try to focus.”
It is true, Edrick is known as a person who likes to talk in certain situations. But if it is in this serious situation, he will try to eliminate his bad habits even though it is a bit difficult.
Edrick starts giving orders, “Alright, we start the road. For pilots and co-pilots, stay on guard inside the plane until there are further orders. Others, stay alert, do not let your guard down.”
13 Aravan071 Team personnel immediately moved out of the bridge towards the corridor connected to other areas, while the pilot and co-pilot remained on guard inside the aircraft.
….
Along the corridor was dark, gripping, and there were a few electrical sparks from wires exposed to patches of dry blood. Along the way, never spared their sight from the puddles of blood that had completely dried up, dried meat was also lying just around every corner, its condition had been very long and countless.
Astan was still silent, reluctant to make any noise. This tense situation made him feel uncomfortable to talk a little. Right now, they are on a very serious mission. Astan did not dare to mince words like he had when he was in the Guild.
Over the course of several corridors and areas, they were lucky to find the gates to the Energy Generation Area had been open for a long time. It is likely that the gates have been opened manually by teams that were once sent to this spacecraft.
In the end, they arrived at the end of the corridor where there was one gate that was still tightly closed. Only, the opening lever that is usually used to open the manual gate looks to have been rotated a third.
“We have arrived at the end of the corridor area here,” said Wirma.
“I think the journey of the previous military team only arrived at sin— Gosh!”
