Accident briefing
Williams interrupts Echo's explanation to demand an account of the failure rather than successful tests. The exchange leads Eastcott to prohibit further interruptions while the AI explains their predicament.[1]
Repairs and refit
After the loss of the outer midsection and damage to the main power conduit, Williams worked under Sarah's three-hour deadline to restore power. During the refit he observed Cylli's fully automated shipyards and explained the new drive, improved weapons, and correction of the sphere-drive defect to Eastcott.[3][4]
