Galaxy Wars: The Legacy of Light and Darkness

Chapter 15: Activating The Primary Cruiser Defensive System

James then entered into his cruiser while his mind was full of more questions about the presence of rebels at this abandoned part of this universe. He went into the cruiser and he closed the door.

The serum he took could work for one week, so he wasn't worried about the air pollution inside the cruiser, but he was worried another uninvited guest would show up and intrude his cruiser.

James headed straight towards the commanding unit as he found Eli was still unconscious over her chair. He looked silently towards her. He knew a lot of things, but medical knowledge was an area he knew nothing about.

He needed some experts' help, but he couldn't go to those rebels and ask them for medical help. They wouldn't agree to his demand, or maybe that crazy princess would show her true colors.

James sighed, as he sat on his chair again while he started to search in the system about any medical knowledge. He knew this system was meant for large war cruisers with huge crews, so he found big data regarding medical issues, but he didn't have the time nor the ability to understand them now.

James looked with deep thinking towards Eli, he needed to find a medical unit as soon as possible. Although he knew from her looks that she wasn't in grave danger right now, he needed to make sure there was no hidden bomb ticking inside her.

'There is only one place for me to go and search at, I hope the medical unit there is still functioning.'

James looked through the eye of his cruiser towards the distance, where a mountain sized cruiser laid there on the ground.

He knew this cruiser was a very old model, maybe a couple of centuries old, but he hoped the medical unit there would be still intact. Although the knowledge would be somehow outdated, it was better than nothing, right?

James was worried about the safety of Eli after he left here, so he first checked the artillery system and the fight system. In general, he knew if this was the usual system of any cruiser, then he couldn't hope for much, but this system was unique, so he put high hopes on it.

His expectations weren't met by a failure, as he found many automatic defensive systems that could control the artillery and cannons on this cruiser, he also found an easy way to link the already existing cannons with the system to get good defensive results.

He didn't have any issue with cannons, as he had many sealed boxes filled with war supplies, including and not limited to cannons. To install a cannon on a cruiser, he needed many helping hands, but in case he wanted to turn this piece of rust into a mighty fortress.

He just needed to be sure of Eli safety during his absence, so he didn't need to install many cannons or use all these fancy and defensive battle systems provided to him.

He just needed to activate the simple defensive system, which used the already present scanning devices to monitor any abnormal movement near the ship, then it used this scanning system to locate these targets and direct the cannons towards them and pull the trigger.

It was this simple, but needed some work to do. James was an expert in usual small cruisers systems, but he was facing many troubles dealing with this sophisticated advanced system.

After so many tries and failures, he managed to connect the scanning system with the primary simple defensive system. His cruiser was now ready to be equipped with his cannons; the issue here was how many cannons he would use, and where he should put them.

'Let's see if this defensive system can help me in solving this issue.'

James started to activate the defensive system to be on, while he waited patiently for its assessment to finish, he checked the status of Eli and issued a full scan over the whole destroyed warship in front of him.

His wait lasted for over one hour, after which a loud beep sound was issued from the control unit of the cruiser followed by a hologramic projection which showed a similar model of the small cruiser.

In this hologramic image, the cruiser body and interior was white in color, while many dots began to appear with red color. James knew these dots were places he should install cannons over to protect the ship.

He waited for all the dots to appear then he counted them, to find he needed to install 23 cannons to fully protect the ship.

'It seems it will take a while to install all this, I wonder if there is a helping protocol that can enable me to install the cannons faster.'

James was very knowledgeable when it came to any war issues, especially if related to small cruises like this one. After some time trying with this complicated system, he managed to activate the AI guidance.

Suddenly, the hologramic projection changed as additional dots appeared with green color. There were only five of these dots, but they were linked together with a yellow thin thread that was connected to the commanding unit.

James guessed he could now control whatever there in these places to help him through the control unit, so he magnified the hologramic image to see the controlling deck with more clarity.

The detailed projection of the cruiser was really impressive, as even the keys, buttons, and other things of the control unit were presented there. James managed to spot five different control buttons he needed to use, so he linked their uses with the result he wanted to reach a conclusion.

'So this is the case then, this system is clever as he will use the help of the self repair movable units in this cruiser to help me in installing the cannons, that's really impressive.'

Every cruiser, small or big, had its own repairing system, which included a repairing system which could override any system errors and do some sealing maneuvers to control any big damage.

In return, there were also the self repair movable units, which were flying devices that were programmed to repair any small damage in the body of the cruiser.

This defensive system planned to use these devices to help James in installing the cannons, which would be a great help indeed.

James didn't know how this system did it, but he guessed the system might interfere in the programming of these devices, which was a very advanced move in James opinion.
