Thanks Doc, I'll add your Aerospace Tech to our personnel!
Damage Report by Chief Aerospace Tech of the Tennyo: Tomoko Harada
The loss of all twelve Tennyo fighter craft to the Smoke Jaguars naturally makes recovery and salvage efforts that much more difficult but after reviewing the damage there is room for hope. Thankfully many of our aerospace fighter designs had a second identical or similar model in service. These ‘pairs’ should enable us to restore at least one of them to operation shortly because we can not only cannibalize the one for parts but we carried twice the parts for repairs in the field. Sadly, both Sais were the exception to this as they were too badly savaged by repeated Jaguar attacks to salvage either of them. In a few days a SL-15R Slayer and SL-25 Samurai should be operational followed by a Thunderbird and Transgressor. Further work is required to see what sort of loadout these craft will feature but I am confident that this will be accomplished within the week. The Shilone, the other Samurai, and maybe the Stuka can be return to service eventually after our return home but right now we lack all the necessary parts to get them flying. Due to damage done and salvage operations to get the other fighters ready a Slayer, Transgressor, and Thunderbird are now being written off as completely destroyed. This brings the total damage to five fighters lost, four returning to service soon, and three salvaged for future service.
The still alien nature of Clan technology as well as our unfamiliarity with its inner workings and the complete lack of any spare components makes efforts to repair their salvaged craft impossible at the moment. In accordance with directives from command we have simply recovered and packaged the remnants of the Jaguars sixteen aerospace fighters. I’d estimate that nine of these fighters could be returned to service if they were InnerSphere craft but since they are Clan maybe four. It is hard to say without the exact know how or opportunity to work on them, however, that is my best guess. The sealed cargo containers are scheduled to be loaded onto the Mule class Dropship as soon as possible. This orbital pickup will occur sometime before our departure from Rockland.
