They worked for hours.
For having next to no knowledge about the technology it turned out to be
surprisingly easy to find spare parts for the components that were destroyed
beyond repair and the parts that were repairable actually had instructions on
them to follow. Still the damage in the control room took several hours to even
get back to basic functionality.
The first thing they did
was confirm that the system that regenerated Blinding Light was functioning.
The timer showed three days to full repair. And that system was taking the
entirety of the functionality they had gotten back. So anything else required more
time to work through repairing even more consoles. By sunrise they had enough
of the command center systems back online.
It look them several more
hours of searching through file systems to figure out what did what and how. By
mid-afternoon they had a three dimensional model of the Earth and the Moon projected into the
center of the room. Warren looked up at the projection from his console. “From
what I can tell I think this is something along the lines of a planet wide
radar system.” He said.
Sonya looked at the
projection. “Ok so how do we make it, radar, or whatever?” She asked.
Warren turned back to the
console and scanned through the menu system. “We need to tell it what to look
for, like what to track.” He confirmed.
Gordon shrugged his
shoulders. “What are our options?” He asked. “can we just say ‘computer we need
to find Technarious or Lumarion. Preferably both?” He asked sarcastically.
“Pinging global sphere
for Technarious and Lumarion. A robotic voice filled the command center.
Everyone looked around the room in surprise as a neon green sphere appeared at
the center of the holographic earth and grew until it faded away past the edges
of the moon. They watched as another neon green sphere appeared again and grew
outward until it also faded away just past the moon. A third sphere appeared
and got bigger and faded away. It was the last one. When it was gone nothing
about the holographic display had changed. “Neither Technarious or Lumarion
found on earth or the moon.” The voice confirmed without emotion.5555555555511
Kelly shook her head. “That
can’t be, they must be somewhere this system can’t sense them.” She said to the
open air.
“There is no substance on
Earth or the moon capable of hiding or obscuring the capabilities of this
system. Lumarion and Technarious are gone.”
