C-Goliath Drive Field Handbook - Quick Reference

"How to use the C-Goliath Drive for bluespace jumping."

The C-Goliath Drive comes equipped with:

• Two separate gas feeding circuits: A Phoron line on the west and a moderator gas mix line on the north.
• Two independent power circuits: The primary circuit, which feeds the outer shield ring, the room APC and the drive itself, and the secondary circuit, which feeds the inner shield ring.
• A same-room control console.

Operational Instructions:

1. Energize and charge the two SMES circuits to an acceptable level.
2. Wrench down the coils and the outer shield ring generators, wrench down and weld down the inner shield ring generators and the emitters.
3. Prepare 1000 moles of Phoron to be pulled into the drive, on the Phoron line.
4. Prepare the moderator gas mixture to be fed into the drive, on the moderator gas mix line.
5. Once sure the calculations for the gasses are correct and the drive can feed, activate the emitters.
6. Wait for the charge bar indicators on the inner shield generators to reach 100%.
7. Operate the inner shield generators to turn them on. Move away from them as soon as activated, the shield can and will repel you too!
8. Unlock with your ID card and activate the outer shield generators, if non-specialized personnel is present, lock them back after activation.
9. Operate the control console, energize the drive and observe the gasses being fed into it.
10. Set the rotation of the jump on the knob, in absolute galactic degrees.
11. Announce the jump and ensure no personnel is outside the ship!
12. Activate the jump, the drive will take approximately 30 seconds to energize the field, then it will jump automatically.
13. De-energize the drive in the control console.
14. Disable the secondary circuit SMES output to disable the emitters, and wait for the inner shield generators to discharge and the shield to extinguish.
15. Disable the outer shield generators.

Emergency Procedure:

Should the drive need to be shut down for an emergency, or to abort the jump, it's possible to de-energize it from the control console. Likewise, it's possible to dump unwanted gas mixtures contained in it via the appropriate dump button located in the control console. Dumping gasses will cause the gasses to be lost, it's recommended to only do that in extreme circumstances, and pump out the Phoron from the Phoron line before. Please note, the dissipation of the stored energy would cause a bluespace flash across the ship, which can cause temporary hearing and vision disturbances, when the drive is de-energizedwhile operational or the gasses are dumped. If time allows, the crew should be informed about it.

Dr. Marivek's notes:

The C-Goliath Drive will create the bluespace-field-driver singularity only when energized and fed with any valid gas in the moderator circuit and the Phoron line. Any quantity above 1000 moles of Phoron is wasted, precise calculation is therefore encourage for efficiency. Various gasses can be used for the moderation mix, any gas that is not valid will simply be absorbed without contributing to the bluespace effect. Temperature of the moderation gas mixture is also influential, in my observations, ontop of the specific gas and the amount. Higher temperatures seems to increase the effect per mole. The field-driver singularity is not self-sustaining, and can be destroyed by depowering the C-Goliath Drive. Should the field-driver singularity become loose from the quantum entanglement tunnel, unless fed, it won't destroy more than its size and won't move. It has been noted that, at times, it has been observed to escape the first shield ring. It is extremely important to ensure both shield rings are engaged for maximum safety.
