After her exchange agreement with the people of Mystique she returned to the set up of her enormous space ship, a smile across her face. A quick announcement to her people and she had exponentially increased the morale of her people 100%, there wasn't a single unhappy face in the crowd. She retired to her chambers for the night and told her people to do the same, that tomorrow was going to be a big day. And it was. The night passed, the robots attacked, the guards kept them back. Did you know, waves of the same attack actually become boring once you figure out how to keep them at bay? Jessibelle did, and though she lost two men that one night she was quite content with the way things are now. In the morning of the fourth day of construction she ordered them into the same group as they were before, except group C was sent to gather the material discussed in the trade agreement. They hauled back such substantial stores of material that the build rate of everything was moved up to at least twice the speed they were before. With new construction machines and plenty of volunteers from the super city they had completed the full hull the main ship and secondary large ship by the end of the day. One week and three days later: (The following is ALL for one plot point that I'm working towards. These will not be used in any sort of realistic combat scenario. I repeat, this is NOT for combat. This is for adversity in the plot.) Jessibelle's fleet was of substantial size now, the Mystans had sent out a huge number of workers to assist in her construction of the ships. At least a thousand men and women were now helping the thousand workers of the Ahs Chini. They now had 40 total larger ships, similarly sized to the 100 foot long ship. They had also managed to salvage the onboard computers from some of the war machines, turning them into ship-board processors to calculate shots more accurately. The smaller ships filled the larger classes, numbering well within the hundreds. (202 to be exact.) Categorization, manning, and arms of ships by size: [list] [*]Jessibelle's Ahs Chini Flagship, The Silver Maiden: Manned by 451 Ahs Chini workers and warriors this ship single handedly has the largest crew. With a genuine onboard AI, built from the processors of the ancient war machines. 1,560 meters long, at its tallest it is 520 meters high, at its widest it is 750 meters. The ship itself has four engines, two normal engines similar to earthen construction. However the other two are magic engines, enormous in size and outpit. The combination of multiple outputs with several oversized thrusters will allow for entry and exit from atmosphere with ease. It also allows for FTL travel in calculated distances. The front of the ship has two enormous railguns, running up almost the enitre length of the ship itself. These are 4,000 sequence rail guns, each sequence boasts incredible strength. These twin rail guns accelerate metal so quickly that it liquifies before being fired. (Much like the reapers from mass effect, except there's two of them.) The ship is crafted from thickly plated steel, at its thickest point it is 2 feet deep. At its thinnest it is 9 inches deep. It is lined from front to back in smaller cannons that can fire in every direction. About half of the smaller ships are inside the docking bay of The Silver Maiden. [/*] [*]Ahs Chini Assault Cruisers: Medium sized ships that are lightly plated, running on two magic engines each. They carry a number of the smallest ships in their docking bays. Five jet sized fighters per cruiser. They're 100 meters long and 40 meters tall. These are each manned by 18 men and women. They are heavily armed but not in the same way as the flagship, they have several magic based weapons mounted on the front and sides. They fire off blasts of blue energy that function in much the same way as artillery fire. These too are capable of matching FTL travel in the same way as the main ship, however recharge time is required for extensive distances.[/*] [*]Ahs Chini Space Fighters: Small ships with mystical engines that propel them at well beyond the speed of sound in the vacuum of space. They have the same kinds of cannons as the cruisers, although downscaled they pack a sizeable punch. They are one man fighters, they are not heavily plated. They are about 10 meters wide and 2 meters tall.[/*] [/list] With the construction of her fleet finished she ordered the construction of the terraforming device, due to the help of the Mystans she had reconsidered her rather brash decision. The machine was wholly redesigned to function within the atmosphere of the planet. The engine would, over the course of the next few hundred years, repair the planet to its natural state. If nothing bad happens to it. Like a deliberately placed faulty wire that just so happens to be exposed to the fuel core. To Jessibelle. After the past two weeks of hard work she ordered everyone to the fort to rest up for the night, including the guards. The numerous ships were a sufficient wall to prevent the mechanical zombies from attacking them in the night. And the way she saw it, they all needed a good rest. They had all worked so hard for her, the poor things. Jessibelle gave a speech to them before they all slept, telling them how they did an amazing job. You know how disingenuous praise goes. But they retired for the night and morning was just a dream away.
