Chapter 11: Camp Purejoy…

Tannaka struck the gavel to close the meeting. It had been productive beyond his wildest hopes. The Council of Elders had formalized a relationship with Admiral Kimbridge and her Infinity Brigade Marines.

Marine City would remain in near permanent orbit around Bashar for, at least, the next six to eight months. In the event the massive battle station needed to move out of the system temporarily then, at least, two Yorktown class starships would remain on station protecting the planet.

Teams of engineers and support personnel from each of the four starships stationed at Marine City would begin the task of updating and replacing the planet’s infrastructure with human compatible technology. Four fusion reactors and countless smaller liquid thorium reactors would be installed at every major population center. The starships would create the small items themselves but the more massive fusion reactors would be fabricated using the much larger facilities at Marine City.

Two separate medical centers, one at the spaceport and one at the capital city which was named New Hope, would be built and staffed by Basharite engineers and medical personnel. All four starships and both medical centers would double as temporary engram transplant centers.

It was estimated that between the six facilities they could process about one hundred people a day. That was one hundred engineers, doctors, skilled technicians and administrators each and every day. As the number of skilled individuals increased, the pace of the transformation would increase. Basharites hoping to join the Infinity Brigade Marines would receive their training engrams from a seventh facility located in Marine City on the battle station in orbit.

In addition, the Yorktown and Mador would have teams building several self-replicating fabrication centers based on advanced human and Heshe nanite systems. Three of the existing but abandoned Basharite cities would supply the raw material for the industrial transformation.

In very short order the powerful combination nanite fabrication technology and virtually instantaneous knowledge acquisition via engram cloning… could and would… transform what had been essentially an agrarian Basharite society into a technological superpower capable of producing their own starships.

As the elders and representatives of the Yorktown taskforce talked, two additional major projects were laid out. The first, a new shipyard hidden beneath an ore-bearing mountain range would begin construction in six months. Its goal would be to provide the Infinity Brigade with the ability to produce and repair enhanced Yorktown-class starships. It would take the Basharites at least six months to train enough of their people and put enough infrastructure in place to begin this massive undertaking.

The second project was of more moderate ambitions and its construction would begin immediately. The Basharites where going to host two of the deadliest training centers in the known universe… Camp Purejoy and Camp Killjoy.

Tannaka had requested and received the basic marine engram program. At his age, he was too old to use the physical aspects of the training but the head knowledge would be invaluable as he sought to marshal his planet’s resources in defense against the Ashtoreth.
