Rebuilding Civilization

Warship Iris Conrad (Part 2)

[We were attacked during hyperspace navigation. The nature of the attack is unknown. First of all, the ship should not be in a physical form that can be seen while traveling through hyperspace. I can't imagine how the attack could have happened under these circumstances. ]

(“What is the Bug ?!”)

"Ts: This code→ (“..... ”) sign to show conversation balloons. "

[No, it's not possible. Bugs do not have the technological level to do such a thing.]

"Ts: this code→ [...... ] sign to indicate a special chat balloon 'nano' or mechanical device. "

"After all, the ship has suffered critical damage as a result of the attack. We've deflected hyperspace and navigation is currently impossible."

[And that's not all. We were attacked from four different coordinates. Furthermore, bridges, engine parts, first and second cryo-sleep bays, communication chambers, gravity control chambers and hangars have all been destroyed. ]

"I was dumbfounded speechless. What Iris said was unimaginable. It has been more than a hundred years since the Galaxy-class Warships suffered losses this severe."

"Both cryo-sleep bays destroyed ?! What about the other crew? What's my unit?"

(“Is anyone safe !?”)

[Other than you, no one survived. Second Lieutenant Augirio had just breathed his last in the dining room a moment before. ]

"Although they were in the middle of hyperspace navigation, about fifty of the crew's 1,200 should have woken up. Does this mean they're all dead?"

(“That's impossible! So the captain of the ship, first mate, commander and everyone in my platoon is.. ”).

[Yes. The crew members who were in some parts not directly hit by the attack almost died instantly during the ensuing clash after a forced warp-out due to a failure of gravity control. Since clean space is the most important part of the ship, it is equipped with an independent gravity-reducing module. So the shock was reduced and the Lieutenant survived. ]

"I saw . Just because I was in this room so I didn't get any more injuries than this. If I were outside, I would hit the wall with incredible momentum. I crawled out of the maintenance shaft."

[There is something else to report. Although there was still time before the collision, this ship was currently falling towards a nearby planet. ]

(“Ah! But it's just.. ”).

"In this vast universe, the chances of us getting out of hyperspace and arriving randomly just above the planet should be almost zero."

[Engine block completely lost all function. The only way to stop our decline is to dismantle the ship and remove unnecessary parts. ]

"I noticed Iris started talking in a more polite way."

(“Then, shouldn't we do that?”)

[To do that, a first-class emergency situation needs to be announced, and it has to go through direct orders from the acting captain. ]

(“But the captain is now ..”)

"Ts: This code→ (“..... ”) sign to show conversation balloons. "

[Citing Article 12, paragraph 3 of the Imperial Military Codex, I hereby acknowledge First Lieutenant Alan Corinth as acting captain of this ship. ]

"Ts: this code→ [...... ] sign to indicate a special chat balloon 'nano' or mechanical device. "

(“What are you serious about !?”)

"Captain of a Galaxy-Class warship must at least have the rank of Commodore. A First Lieutenant in the army shouldn't have any qualifications to become a captain."

"But even so, only I am alive. I thought it was something inevitable. It was just a formality done to issue orders."

[To continue the promotion, you must undergo senior officer education, as stipulated in the regulations. ]

"On the surface, the education of senior officers is carried out so that prospective senior officers can learn the code of conduct expected of them, which is expected of them, but the real goal is brainwashing to prevent them from taking actions that go against the rules laid out in the military codex. This is not officially recognized by the armed forces, but everyone in the military knows this is the case. It was a policy applied as a result of lessons learned so hard in ancient times, when a world with billions of people living in it was destroyed by one madman."

"Although called ‘edukasi’, what actually happens is brainwashing through the use of nanom and biological patches that directly target the mind. A person usually loses consciousness due to the large amount of information that is directly put into his brain during the process."

(“We're out of time! …What should I do?”)

[Take the biological cover from the console, place it over your forehead and sit in a comfortable position. ]

"A biological patch appears from inside the console. I stick it to my forehead, take a seat and lean back. After the clicking sound came from the patch, I lost consciousness once again."

[Captain..!-cap..Corinth! Captain Corinth!]

"I woke up from Iris's call."

[Thankfully! I don't know what I'll do if you don't wake up. ]

"I feel the feeling of Deja Vu."

"How long have I been unconscious?"

[About 30 minutes. And Captain, you don't need to speak politely with me. ]

(“... Understand. All right, let's get started. Now I am the acting captain of this ship. Please approve. ”)

[Acknowledged. The subject is no longer under the influence of drugs due to biological patching, and is in a normal mental state. ]

(“With the power given to me as commander, I hereby declare a first-class emergency. Furthermore, I order the battleship Iris Conrad to take all necessary measures to safeguard the combat power of this ship and the honor of the Navy. That's your Captain's order. It takes maximum priority over everything. “)

"This is the first time I've issued such a cool-sounding order. No, this is also the first time I've heard of it. Circumstances are completely different after taking ‘education’ senior officer."

"I should note that I have just read the words Iris displayed in a virtual window provided by a nanom interface like a teleprompter."

"The order issued by the captain and senior officers back then was really cool! As expected of a senior officer, but I'm sure they also read the instructions."

[Aye, Sir. Your order has been accepted. ]

[Sorry if this sounds sudden, but the Captain should really go to the emergency pod now without any delay. ]

(“Hah !? What are you talking about?”)

[Connection with the life buffer part has been severed and this integrity outside of the clean room has been compromised. We are losing oxygen very quickly. ]

"As he said, it does feel stuffy and hard to breathe here."

(“But even if you tell me to escape, is the atmosphere on the planet even breathable?”)

[According to optical spectrum analysis, there is a 93% chance that the atmosphere is breathable to humans. ]

(“What's with the remaining 7%?”)

[Totally dangerous gases, unknown viruses and parasites. ]

(“Although so, escape pod ... How about using a landing craft?”)

[The path to the hangar has been blocked. Moreover, almost all landing craft have been lost or destroyed. ]

"Ah, then I won't be able to return to the ship after I escape."

[You will only die from lack of oxygen if you stay here. It would be best if you escaped to the planet and then looked for a way to return after the ship was successfully repaired. And the probability of a successful reconstruction after changing the trajectory of the ship is currently 54%. ]

"What's!? I don't think the odds will be that low."

(“I understand ...... How about food and weapons?”)

[Unfortunately, there is only one available in the escape pod. ]

"I activated my nanom and checked the supplies inside the escape pod. I was shocked when I read what was displayed in the virtual window."

"M151 Pulse Rifle"

"A18P Laser Gun"

"Electromagnetic Knife Knife"

"Fourty-two packs of emergency rations"

"28 liters of water"

"One bottle of rare metal (100 tablets)"

"Ts: This code→ ( ......) sign to indicate a conversation balloon using 'telepathy' or being brooded. "

"Two blankets"

"To be honest, for a soldier like me, this weapon is quite unsatisfactory. Their firepower was far from what they wanted. There is not enough space for food and water. But even if I said all that, there's no way I'd find a better option here…"

(“Is there anything else I can bring?”)

"Ts: This code→ (“..... ”) sign to show conversation balloons. "

[Why not bring one of the processor modules you just replaced, Captain? They are made of rare metals. ]

"Now that he mentioned it, it's true. I have to break it down first before I can consume it, but I think I will succeed. Rare metals are the raw materials for nanom. It's possible to get it locally, but I don't want to bother looking for it. Nanom is the lifeline of soldiers like me. As long as you have a rare metal on hand, you'll be fine."

"The boarding area for the escape pod is right next to the entrance of this room. Ah, I am truly grateful to the man who thought of equipping this room with his own escape box. I asked Iris to open the exit cover and load the processor module inside. The escape pod can accommodate five people and thus has five seats. The interior is quite large."

"Fuckin' thick! I need a uniform too. After all, this is a backward planet. You'll never have too many clothes."

"I am currently wearing work clothes to work in a clean room. I put in the uniform I changed before I started working inside this place."

"Is there anything else."

"In hindsight, this was inside a computer mainframe. There is no way that everyday necessities exist in a place like this."

(“I'm ready. ”)

[Then please go to the pod. ]

"I obediently got into the pod, sat in one of the chairs and fixed my seatbelt."

[Alright, may luck follow you Captain. ]

"Ts: this code→ [...... ] sign to indicate a special chat balloon 'nano' or mechanical device. "

(“Ya. You too, Miss Conrad. ”)

"Ts: This code→ (“..... ”) sign to show conversation balloons. "

"The escape pod is then ejected against the planet."
