Day #6 [The ships floor plan......]

We wake up at around 8 am today and start eating breakfast while looking over the damage report from last night to see how much we have done lately. While the ship is still in horrible condition and almost everybody would just scrap it at this point, we don't have that option. I decide to start working on sealing the rest of the ship little by little working our way from the engineering section forward so that we can stay as close to the only area that has pressure just in case. The nearest area is just a stairway that goes from the roof mounted airlock (airlock 3) near the landing pad/ore drop point on the roof down past the main passenger cryo bay on the upper deck (deck 1) then past the galley and lounge (deck 2) and continues down to the lower deck walkway (deck 3) just outside of the main engineering door. This lower walkway goes straight from the engineering bay to the hangar near the forward half of the ship. If you go from the galley and lounge you get into the crew quarters and from the passenger cryo bay to the medical bay then the crew cryo bay. Past the crew quarters is the upper hangar area (more of a catwalk than anything). If you are going from the crew cryo bay forward you go through the production bay which connects to the 4 outer drone docks on the sides of the ship just ahead of the solar arrays on both sides (these are replaceable by expanded cryo trays). just as you get past all of this you get to the 4 inner drone docks (secondary hangar) and the asteroid anchor array. Just past this is the drone control room (deck 1) and the sensor bay (houses both main and auxiliary sensor arrays). Between the main hangar and secondary hangar there is a 2nd stairway along with 2 more airlocks (on the sides of the ship) that are connected to the main station docks. The main control room/cockpit is at the front of the ship on the upper deck (deck 1). Looking at the damage of the ship it almost looks as though we were hit broadside by a fleet of gauss cannons using depleted uranium bullets on a screen door. Once we leave the engineering section and get supplies from the production area, (this takes another hour to get through the forward crew cryo bay door) we start sealing up the rear stairway and work our way along the lower walkway to the hangar so we can have a much larger area that has pressure to work in. The biggest reason I want to add pressure here is that 20% of the power and data cables run through the ceiling of this section. If we can repair these then we can restore 40% of the power and data systems in the entire ship (even if it is all just low power mode to prevent burning out the cables). The rest of the day goes by without any added issues so it is mostly boring other than the fact that I find some left over iron ore in a storage container and move it to one of the refineries in the production bay. We manage to finish the repairs to this rear stairway and get most of the repairs to the lower walkway done by 8 pm but it took longer than expected to get the doors to the other areas closed up so we could add pressure to this area when we finished. Once we finally get the rear stairway pressurized we start building some simple airlocks at each doorway so we can travel from one area to the other without losing all of our air. By midnight we manage to get the lower walkway done up with an airlock as well as the galley and lounge area. As usual I make sure that everyone eats before bed so we have the energy to work the next day.
