The _Insufficiently Reluctant_ seems to bulge as most of the internal
structres are removed except for occaisional support beams and their material
added to the outer hull. A Rush Limbaugh-esque blimp seems to grow out
of the neat triangle, and, fueled by material from the surface of Venus,
begins to assume a roughly spherical shape. Leaving a skeleton crew of
about 2,000, the second transport (the first still transporting materials
from the mining operation on Ishtar Terra) begins to load the enormous
excess of crewmembers to replenish the Earth's population of idiots. As
each trip removes more crew members, atmosphere is pumped out of abandoned
areas which are then exposed to vacuum. Many of the weapons emplacements
are scrapped, but those that remain still provide formidable defense, as
power is routed away from the engines, still undergoing repairs, and into
the defensive systems. The main computer, wiped to provide the maximun
inconvenience to the Emperor's control of the ship, is recreated in a far
more efficient manner under the supervision of more of the mechanical spiders.
Tractor emplacements are removed and transported to three large loading
and unloading ports in the hull. The large cargos of new spiders and needed
materials translate as lightning-fast renovations, and the bridge of the
SSD, only a decoy at it's proudest, is absorbed into the hull, becomming
a pock, and then indistinguishable from the ship around it. The rebuilding
continues......

*Finally reaching the outside of the SSD, TDK unloads his cargo.
He places the two proton topedos on either side of the duct taped suit
of armor and then proceds to tape them in place. He aligns the newly formed
projectile to point away from the reluctant and activates the launch sequence.
The suit of armor is flown away from the _Reluctant_ at a remarkable speed.
When he determines that they are far enough away, he pauses to say something
dramatic.* ...... *And then remembers that there is no sound in space.*
!!!!!!!! *In anger he smashes the remoted detonator and sets off the two
torpedos.*

... A large silver blob appears in orbit of Venus. Little peices
of molten metal suddenly lift from the surface. They shoot up into orbit,
joining with the ship, the color of the two bits of metal are slightly
different at first, then after a few seconds the smaller peices take on
the color of the larger ship. Darva searches around for Jadesfire, not
sure where she is to open a channel...

...A slight warping of the fabric of space, hundreds of thousands
of light years from earth, and very slowly a drednaught appears. Inside,
all is silent at first, the crew still passed out. A few minutes the captain
wakes up, looking around confused, wondering why his ship is no longer
connnected to the Insufficently reluctant. After an hour or two, when everyone's
woke up, and sensor readings have been taken, it's reported that it will
take several months to get back to work, as right now they don't even know
entirely for sure exactly which direction it is...

*While the vacum of space didn't allow him to hear the explosion,
that didn't prevent him from watching the spectacular fireworkscreated
by the to proton torpedos and the ex-Emperor's mechanised suit of armor.
The spiders too, ejoyed the view, all lined up on the tank like spectators
on bleachers. Shortly afterward TDK notices the new construction going
on around him and gets the attention of yet another spider, then begins
to type on the padd.* What's going on?

A spider, looking exactly like to others except with orangeish markings,
