Aboard Abraham Kepler

While the staff at the Lab was working to get the new Mecha designs finished, far above them, docked to maintenance station three, Abraham Kepler, the President Class transport was getting the most comprehensive overhaul that the crew had ever heard of.

Firstly, the warp drive was being fully upgraded and not just refueled, with the intent to increase the ship's maximum speed by over fifty percent to make it a more efficient first response vessel. Secondly, the entire crew quarters and every hangar bay needed refurbishment after the damages and hasty patches during the Scavenger attack. 

Every bulkhead, every floor plate, and every electrical connection was checked, verified, and resealed.
