Cannon balls rolling

[Darth Banshee]

After the battle of teta, darth banshee realized the furys where lacking form fury of old. That was some thing she need to redeem, before they saw battle again. The turbo lasers could not shoot down the enemy star fighters, this almost lead to [member="Darth Veles"] death. Though fury was know scrap metal, she was relieved to realizes he was still alive.

She sent her engineers back to old fury, to find out what it had that current model did not have. This would take some time, whilst this was happening she decide to read up on phasing. An old force power, that allowed you to move through matter.

 

[Darth Banshee]

Next day her engineers came in, while she was meditating. They knocked but he did not answer, as she was trying to get herself mentally prepared to try phasing. Though when they entered, it interrupted her concentration, with an Ahem. She turned round, and slight annoyed by it. Then realized she was at fault, they been waiting over an hour. Sorry what can I do, for you. She asked them, the chief engineer replied We discovered a major difference in turbo laser of today, and the one the original fury used. She was intrigued, and was starting to learn bit about ship mechanics. So she asked What is the difference? He smiled and replied, It simply the focusing crystal, theirs gave a narrow beam. Thus it was more accurate, though they could not put amount of power through. As this would crack the crystal, due to small focusing point. The narrower beam allowed, it be more accurate in attacks. That`s why fury of old could take down a starfighter, and your current one can`t. She listen to him intently, and asked Well that`s easy enough to replicate for laser cannon, but could it be replicated as ion cannon. Also could adapted for other weapons, like heavier or long range cannons? She wonder if it could be done, as new mainstay weapon for ships. Well we have to do test and order equipment up, to see what could be done. He replied, but he got what he wanted his okay to experiment.

She was trying to use phasing, when the knock came to door again. She smiled and wondered, if she could concentrated on force, and walk through the door. She gave it ago, trying to imagine the mesh of atoms that make her up, moving through atoms mesh atoms that made up the door. Ouch She said she walked into door, her nose slightly bruised by it. She then just pressed the open the door, well it was worth a try she thought to herself.

The engineer came in Well the ion cannon was successful, how ever other`s failed. The focusing lens cracked when we used on long range version of it, and heavy version of it. This was due extra energy required to pump through it. He explained to her, she then wondered. What if you, used a standard focusing system, then put it through this as secondary one. He shook his head, No we tried that, I don`t think this would work as heavy, or long range. Though we have few ideas, but we need your permission to purse them. She looked at him, Okay how much is it going to cost? she asked. It would cost about million credits, give or take and couple hundred thousand. He replied, she just nodded. Though she new she soon have to get more customers than the one sith.

 

[Darth Banshee]

She just finished reading up on the Technics again for phasing , when she got a call to meet engineers in hanger bay. They had a result, and wanted to demonstrate it. She decide to give phasing another go. She got up closed her eyes, and imagined she was nothing but atoms. With nothing between her, and so was the wall. She imagined this when mind eye was focused on she ran towards the wall, Bang was the noise she made as she hit it. She quickly looked in the mirror, she had a bruise on fore head and little swelling. She decided to battle armour on, so no one could see it. Then head down to engineering.

Eventually she arrived to see what they been up to. Are my lord, we got ready for our first test. It is a heavy version of our new cannon, with any luck the new focusing crystals will hold. She gestured to get on with it, she was getting a headache from running into the wall, and she wanted to get this over with. The weapon was rolled out, and then gunnery crew fired it. Boom was noise that came it out the barrel of the gun as it fired. It made her headache worse, she slanted her head and clenched down her teeth, to try make it less pain full. He then turned to her and said We manged to make the crystal not crack, when under this much duress. Though we not sure, how long it will last in fire fight. So we are going to continue firing until the crystal brakes, with your permission of course. She nodded, but added I have other matters to attend to. She turned and got out the bay as it started to fire over and over again. She end up kill some of her crew, if she stayed their, her head was really throbbing.

 

[Darth Banshee]

After a few more days of study, she thinks she may have finally got handle on phasing. She sat got up, and focused inwards and delved deep inside her. She put her hand on to glass table top, pushed down into it. Then her concentration broke, with knock on her door. She moved hand up, and looked at it. Her fingers where bleeding, she looked at the glass and realized. That some her skin was actually inside the glass. She got cloth to stop the bleeding, then answer her door.

The engineer was their, he looked at her hand and asked You okay? She replied Yes I am fine, it`s just a force experiment, no need to worry. He just nodded, he did not want to know. The new lens worked well, for heavy firing and we know working on long range option. Though they still take more room, on ship due to power requirement. Know the long range one will be tested in day or so, once new lens has been polished properly. The one we having difficulty with, is trying to combine the two. As the heavy beam is easy we just have few lens and fire the beam through them all, thus we have more power and accuracy of the original. The next one if works is different type lens again, it has refracted then refocused, this gives it the range. Combing the two how ever with out lens cracking, will be expensive task so we will run over budget. So he was here, making sure she new project was going to cost more than originally planned, so be it she thought to her self and she replied Fine, just get on with it.

 

[Darth Banshee]

After a few days meditating it was time to try again. She was in her bedroom, when the engineer came knocking on her door. She decide to say Computer let him in, The door opened and let him, she then told him I will be with you in second. She decide to show him her new power, she sure got this time. She walked into the wall and then through the wall, his face was picture stunned even. His first words where, Where are you clothes, my lord. He was trying advert his eyes, she looked down and realized while she made through her gear had not. She waved her hand front of him You have seen nothing, know turn around go out and come knock again. She used her mind trick, to delete his memory a little. She quickly ran back on put clothes on, and he left and knocked again.

She let computer let him, and she said Sit down I will be with you in moment. He sat down and waited, in a minute she was out again. He looked oblivious to what just happened. So how can I help you, she could not look at him in the face though. It just an update to be honest my lord, the lens is finally ready and being installed. Soon we should be able to try out, the long range precision cannon on both laser and ion. Then obviously we have other issue to work on after that. Still not being able to look him in the eye asked. When will the test begin, and what progress have you made on combing the two. He answered like nothing just happened, and she could sense he had no memory of ether. A week to begin these test, and I can`t be sure on the combined test. She smiled and said ​Dismissed. The second he left the room she began to giggle to herself, out of embarrassment.

 

[Darth Banshee]

After week of practicing she manged to keep her underwear on, though that was it. Though she was getting better at it, after all practice in private makes perfect. The engineer sent her message to watch the new cannon fire, they ready a long range cannon. She head down to engineering, to see how they going. He gave nodded of her head, as sign of respect for some reason he thought he might be in trouble after the last meeting. My lord we are ready to shoot at an asteroid, just coming into our predicted range. With any luck we should hit it. The weapon was put into position, and the engineer started his count down Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One. Fire with that the gun shot it out, and the beam was tracked it hit`s mark. The team cheered, as it did and engineer shouted WELL DONE EVERYONE, and then looked at her, and said We have only one more job to do combine the two, and we can sell this thing.

 

[Darth Banshee]

She been practicing more, she manged to know get items through that she touching, but accessories she could not get through. Like her full battle armour, it just fell back other side. She need to get better at it to be of any use to her, as her lightsaber was also on the other side unless she held it.

She head down to engineering to see how, they where progressing with the combined heavy long range precision cannon. It seemed they tried a few tests, but the lens keeps cracking after a few shot`s. Which in a battle would be bad, as it would mean striping the weapon down to change the lens. The was talk that might be impossible, and that she was asking to much. Then she asked engineer, What is the problem, why do they crack? He looked at her and replied, Too much power, going through a single focus point on a lens. It over heats the crystal, cause discoloration and then it brakes. He explained to her. She paused and then asked, So it just requires a method of cooling then on the lens. His eyes lite up like something, sparked inside I have an idea, but I have to get on to do some test know. I will call when I have some result`s.

 

[Darth Banshee]

She had been meditating all day, working through the task she had set herself. To discover phasing, and how to do it properly. To walk from room, to another room, with out opening a door. This was also with out losing clothes, or equipment on the way. As that could be embarrassing, and not some thing she wanted to do again. As she was working through it, she got a call form engineering. ​The combined weapon, should be ready soon my`lord. All the tests, have show it works. We are know assembling it, with any luck this should be ready for mounting onto a ship soon. His voice seemed happy, like he made a real brake through. Though she was struggling with her own, problem as well. How to walk through walls, anyone think it was against nature or some thing. She replied to him, Well done, I hope to see the test soon.

 

[Darth Banshee]

She was finally ready to try her new force power, at same time she got call from engineering, they where ready to try out the new weapon. She decide to try and walk their, without opening a door. She set off in full battle armour, to engineering remembering, she was just string atoms and on subatomic level, you never touched anything. It was just electron pushing back, all she had to do was push on through. She got first wall, and walked through it, as she did she could feel it pushing back at her. It was tiring trying to push past it, with all her equipment on. She could feel it trying push her away, but in the end she managed it. She was on one side the wall, with all her equipment. Though she realized the more she carried, the harder it was to do. She then decide to rake the easy way to engineering.

It did not take her long to get down their, and engineering teams ready. He smiled and said My`lord I made internal cooling system, to prevent over heat during firing in. This should keep the lens cooler, so it does not become discolored whist energy pass through it to fire. Would you like honourer of firing it, my lord when ready? She smiled and said Yes I would. He took her over to controls, and showed her what button to press, when they ready. The asteroid was coming into range again, and she was stand by for the request to fire. Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One. Fire She then pressed it, it fired beautifully at the asteroid and hit it`s mark.
