A lot of salvaging work commenced in the coming days. Valuable goods flew aimlessly in space, just waiting to be plucked.
There were also a lot of restorable wrecks and parts floating around that could easily be put back into working order after expending a bit of effort. Now that the strength of the expeditionary fleet had dropped to a low point, the restoration of even a single mech was of utmost importance!
Turning broken mechs into functional mechs was difficult work. It took too much time to restore them back to peak condition or as close to them as possible.
"We'll have to do some judicious jury rigging." Ves decided. "It doesn't matter if a mech is only half as effective as before if it only takes a few hours to slap some random parts onto an incomplete frame. I would rather have half a mech at my disposal than nothing at all during another crisis."
