-Off the coast of Neviston-

A Kobyashi Maru class heavy salvage ship works to recover a sunken Horizon class arsenal ship in the hopes of salvaging some of the supersonic missiles that made it impossible to use flying warship in battle. The sunken ship is currently nearing the surface in the massive salvage claws of the recovery ship.

"Sir, she's reaching the surface now!"

"Very good, prepare pumping crews and prepare the cargo to get under weigh."

"Yes sir! You men, get the pumps running and the patches ready."

The men move to begin pumping the ship clear of water at a rate that will keep the water level inside slightly lower than outside the hull, to put the least stress on the hull. As damaged portions reveal themselves, huge Mylar sheets with a special water resisting adhesive are placed over them, patching the hull and allowing the ship to not fill with water on the trip to a salvage yard. Larger damaged areas are reinforced with steel beams and sometimes plating,
