The next day, the two men discuss the situation at the base. They know that the ship is in bad shape, but they're determined to keep it in good shape. They're testing new weapons in a new hangar, but the mountings are still behind schedule, so they won't be able to use them. The two men agree that it's likely that they pushed the ship out of the way when they didn't want to, and that's what's causing the ship to be in such a bad condition. They also agree that they need to do more research on how to get the ship back.
