RP In the Business of the Mining Guild

Nyx’s eyes narrowed in thought as she recalled the details about the Hercules-class Exosuit. "Oh, right—the Exosuit itself doesn’t have flight capabilities, so engineers use special hovering platforms to reach their workspace in space or high-altitude areas. I think it would be wise to review those platforms as well, especially in light of all the improvements we're making to the Exosuit."

Aeta nodded in agreement. "Yes, the platforms are crucial for mobility and access. They’re called the Iolus Hover Platforms. They’re designed to support engineers in maneuvering around large structures or ships, allowing them to perform repairs and maintenance efficiently."

Nyx pulled up the data on the Iolus Hover Platforms on her terminal. Holograms and schematics of the platforms appeared, showcasing their design and current features. "The platforms are functional, but with the enhancements we’re implementing for the Hercules-class Exosuit, it makes sense to ensure that the Hover Platforms are equally updated. We wouldn’t want any compatibility issues or limitations that might hinder the effectiveness of the Exosuits."

Aeta leaned closer to the holograms, examining the details. "Let’s consider integrating some of the same improvements we’re applying to the Exosuit. For example, we could enhance the hover platforms’ energy efficiency, increase their stability, and maybe add some advanced navigational aids. It might also be beneficial to incorporate some of the AI’s capabilities into the platforms for better coordination between the engineer and their equipment."

Nyx agreed enthusiastically. "That’s a great idea. If we improve the Hover Platforms alongside the Hercules-class Exosuit, we’ll create a more cohesive and efficient system overall. The engineers will benefit from a seamless experience, whether they’re using the exosuits or the hover platforms."

Aeta and Nyx then began drafting a proposal for the upgrades to the Hover Platforms, ensuring that they would complement the new features of the Hercules-class Exosuit. They aimed to make the entire engineering operation—from maintenance to construction—more streamlined and effective.

With their new focus on the Aegis Hover Platforms, Nyx and Aeta continued their work, excited about the prospect of further advancing the Mining Guild’s technology and ensuring that every component worked harmoniously together.

After a while of work, they were finished, and Nyx’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she reviewed the final drafts and notes on the upgrades to both the Hercules-class Exosuit and the Aegis Hover Platforms. She turned to Aeta with a wide grin. "Looks like we’re done! How about we head over to the Engineering Corps right now to deliver the good news? The team can start on the new and improved Exosuits right away."

Aeta returned the grin, her enthusiasm matching Nyx’s. "Absolutely, let’s do it. The engineers will be thrilled to get started on these upgrades. It’ll make a huge difference in their work efficiency and overall performance."

The two women gathered their notes and secured their datapads, ready to share the exciting developments. They made their way through the Thinkers Group’s room, exchanging looks of satisfaction and anticipation.

As they arrived at the Engineering Corps Wing, Nyx led the way with her characteristic confidence. The corridors of the Engineering Corps were bustling with activity, and the team was hard at work on various projects. Nyx and Aeta walked into the main office area, where the senior engineers and key personnel were gathered.

The head of the Engineering Corps, Doctor Gideon Kross with a reputation for being both stern and highly competent, looked up as Nyx and Aeta approached. "Ladies, what brings you here today?"

Nyx stepped forward with a triumphant smile. "We’ve completed our revisions and upgrades for the Hercules-class Exosuit and the Aegis Hover Platforms. We’re here to share the exciting news and get your team started on implementing these improvements."

Aeta nodded, adding, "The new features will enhance mobility, durability, and overall functionality. We’ve also addressed the concerns we noted during our review, so the new versions should be much more effective."

The senior engineer’s eyes lit up with interest. "That’s fantastic news. We’ve been eagerly awaiting these updates. What are the key changes?"

Nyx began detailing the enhancements: improved thermal regulation to address the temperature issues, better mobility features, and integrated AI assistance. She also outlined the planned upgrades for the Aegis Hover Platforms, including increased energy efficiency and advanced navigational aids.

As Nyx and Aeta explained the upgrades, the engineers around them listened intently, taking notes and asking questions. The room buzzed with excitement as the team began to discuss how to integrate the new features into their ongoing projects.

Once the engineers had all the information they needed, Nyx and Aeta were satisfied. The senior engineer thanked them for their hard work and assured them that the team would get started immediately.

As Nyx and Aeta left the Engineering Corps Wing, they felt a sense of accomplishment and anticipation. The upgrades they had worked on would soon become a reality, significantly improving the Mining Guild’s capabilities and efficiency. They looked forward to seeing the positive impact their efforts would have on the guild’s operations and were eager to tackle the next challenge.
