The Flow of Coin, Pt 7
Admiral Chase’s secret prison lab was brimming with activity, though anyone who looked at it would never have been able to tell. On the outside, it looked just like any other large warehouse - boring.
People sometimes walked in and out with various sealed crates, but that was pretty much it.
The inside was a completely different story.
Numerous Federation engineers were busy all over the manufacturing floor as their printers cranked out shield after shield after shield. Each one was just slightly different in one way or another, be it shape, size, weight, materials, or overall cost.
After the shields were completed and set aside, various drones would carry bundles of them over to the fully enclosed shooting range on the other side of the lab. There, more engineers propped them up on testing beams downrange.
