Reviving the Past

The Titanic: an important part of humanity's history… and a target of the Dark Axis. The ship is so unique and desirable for both the Federation and the Dark Axis due to its unbelievable power. It took three attempts to raise it. The first was part of the Dark Axis's campaign. They tried using the most powerful energon charges available—class 6-A beta—and still failed. Their second attempt was also met with failure. There was a trap set for the boarding team. I highly doubt that any made it out alive. Three Dark Axis ships with a crane and four hundred tons of energon couldn't raise it even after the boarding team met with the trap. The third attempt was successful. The Federation had to take it from the Dark Axis even after raising it. The Dark Axis was willing to steal what we'd worked for just because they thought it was "rightfully theirs." It clearly isn't. It belongs to all of humanity. It carries more than its weight in history. I'm beginning to wonder, though, if we should use it in battle. It may give us the upper hand in many battles, but something with such a historical value if lost, would be a grave blow to humankind. Aside from that, the ship is a work of art. When closed, the ship takes on the appearance of a beautiful tulip. Should it be used, it would have to be completely overhauled mechanically so that it would be up to speed with the latest technology. As of this point, it can only be controlled with a command horn. Altering the ship would also destroy part of its historical value. I honestly don't think something so valuable should be used in war. However, the Federation believes differently. The Dark Axis is going to use every last weapon they can to get the upper hand, so another ship in the fleet would do us a world of good, or so the higher-ups say. I, grudgingly, give them their point. The Dark Axis is just so evil that their higher-ups would do just that. All I know for sure is that everyone would lose an important part of galactic history should that ship be destroyed, history that we cannot afford to lose. I am Commander Sayla Yashaki and I will do everything I can to protect the Titanic.
