NARRATIVE: Under command of Captain Alistair Nimitz, U.S.S. Akagi arrived on station at DS-13 to begin reactor core repair and replacement. In addition to the components required, we also brought extra engineering personnel that I had requisitioned, having learned of damaged relays encountered by an earlier mission to the station. Due to our near-complete use of Akagi's carrying capacity, we were forced to prioritise components for transport. Consequently, the eight missing station fuel pods will need to be transported and installed in a later, supplemental mission. Given the relative ease of that task, we opted to focus our efforts on replacement of the reactor components instead.
Whilst we conducted the transport and assembly of reactor components, our engineering teams under LTs Ackerman and Visynth performed repairs determined necessary by a previous away team. These tasks included the replacement of a section of EPDN relays, and the securing and reactivation of the reactor control rooms.
Based on our scans and the reports of our engineering teams and preceding teams, we made a determination to replace fusion reactor one. Although it would have been possible to repair fusion reactor one, the damage that it had suffered and the age of the reactor, coupled with the replacement of the other reactors with new models and components, meant that it would be faster and more cost-effective in terms of materiale, efficiency, and service-over-time to replace the reactor now. As a result, we replaced all three fusion reactors with current-model high-output reactors suitable for deep space service on starbases.
In addition to the replacement of the fusion reactors, we replaced the entire Matter-Antimatter Reactor assembly, utilising the most up-to-date model available, increasing DS-13's potential power output and efficiency, assuming that the starbase systems are sequenced to make use of the newest reactor architecture.
Upon completion of the aforesaid tasks, our engineering teams remained on station and Captain Nimitz ordered the reactors brought up to standby mode. No anomalies were detected, and we can report that the station is now ready for full power output at command's discretion. Upon our determination that the starbase was secure and in operational standby, we returned to Starbase K-7.
RECOMMENDATION: Complete structural evaluation and bring starbase power fully online, restoring life support and defence systems, and re-establishing a permanent crew presence, including the assignment of a starbase commander to oversee local operations.
OOC: Thanks to Nimitz, Rebel, and Mudd for jumping in to complete this last DS-13 mission for the week. I think we might have jumped the gun by 'powering up the station' in advance, so I've retconned that a bit to 'bringing the station to standby'. And, if I have misrepresented something your character did, please let me know and I will correct the report!
