The BETA

(1/2) > >>

Dingo1:
All hands report to ISS ship building docks, we need to start construction of a new flag ship.  Admiral PLC has the BluePrints

Dingo1:
Dang where is everyone, this is a simple to assemble ship, only 250 trillion interlocking parts, with simple instructions (Dingo is standing in front of a mountain of blueprints and skematics that read like old stereo setup instructions, all jumbled up and not in order)All of the parts are here (millions of crates as far as the eyes can see, none with any proper markings of what they contain)

Dingo1:
12% of the ship is completed...  Dingo1 pours over mounds of hand written notes as construction bots swarm over the mounds of crates....  Dingo1 scratches his ear with his paw, muttering to himself....these figures just cant be right......Admiral PLC, according to these figures, the Beta uses 47 quadrillion joules per second, what have you designed that requires the output of a pocket quazar????  And how am I going to be able to move something that massive???  And how in the heck am I going to be able to store Dark energy?????  This ship is not big, only 500' x 200' x 100' when finished?  The componates alone fill an area 20,000 times that space???

Dingo1:
23.6793 % complete...  Dingo1 snarles, woof's and otherwise snaps at the construction bot's.  There is an eerie glow coming from the new ship, looking upon the construction gives anyone a massive headache, and waves of gravitation disquiets everybody.  It is apparent that construction is going on in through distorted dimensions.  Admiral PLC smiles as she preens her purple plumage as she checks on the progress of the BETA...well aware that her chief engineer is fully in his element, and well aware that he is not to be interupted....

Dingo1:
47.896452 complete...  The BETA is glowing with a blinding glare... Constructions bots move like a blur into and out of the glare as constuction speed increases.....  Heard over the roar of welding.....WHERE IS MY COFFEE!!!!!!!
