“With all due respect Sir, Rangers on a Rescue mission? Would it not be overkill?” The Secretary-General shook his head “No Captain, it will not. They have a different mission which is classified for the moment. You will be presented with the details of their mission as soon as you get underway. Report back to me personally upon completion of your mission. Good luck Captain.”

UNE – Terendak-Shenzen Longijang Shipyard

The Mekong finally leaves the Fleet HQ Hangar bay as it effortlessly rises above the Shanghai skyline destined for the shipyard in Geostationary orbit above Asia. The flight was smooth but as soon it left the atmosphere the magnetic surfaces become operational to compensate for the loss of gravity. They could now see the superstructure of the shipyard and the many small worker drones and transport shuttles moving into the shipyard. It was a massive shipyard with four docks arranged next to each other like houses without doors with only side walls and a roof. They were a total of four capital ships in the docks all being attended to by the worker drones and the Engineers who were in work gangs clambering around the ship’s hull.

The Mekong was slowly making its way to the end of the docks where the illumination of the dock walls was bright to shine on to the dock crews who were loading supplies and equipment for the ship. There were also personnel transports plying from the Shipyard facility which was linked by several massive interlocking tube-like passageways to the main Space elevator platform. These were linked to the main structure where the majority of the Engineers, Designers, and Support personnel worked from. The elevator platform was the equivalent of a mass transit system ferrying commuters from the surface of Earth to its orbital structures. The platform originates from the UNE Saigon Space Elevator Terminal on the surface.
