After dinner Swims Like Shark is still licking his jaws, he has never tasted fish with smoky flavor before, and looks forward to his next opportunity to try it.

The crew continues to make metal plates for another 2 hours, then, half of them are used to add areas with cover to the trenches and dirt mounds for additional cover for gunmen, while the other half they begin to shape and put together. Soon, one of the things they are building is ready, a boat, just 5 feet longer then a box car, and just as wide. Then some of the telephone poles are cut down for use as pontoons, of the scrap collected to recycle for supplies includes abandon cars found by phantom pilots in the city. Men begin taking the cars apart, salvaging their engines, then putting them in the stern of the boats. Then anything that can be used as a light arms turret is put on the bow of the boats, and even lighter arms on the sides, crates with food, fresh water, water filters, cooking gear, weapons, ammo, and fire wood are put on in areas to give best balance. On the stern a rutter is being added, and rotating bladed tools of any kind for propellers attached to it and the engine, and in the center metal bars being put up, with a extra crate carrying sheets for if the boat needs sail power. The shovels used to did the trenches are being put on the boats to use as oars.

These boats are being placed around the big ship as they get finished for support for when the boats will take their turn firing at the enemy on shore and in the sky.

The guarding shifts get set to a higher lever of heavy guarding, trying to insure that when the enemy come, the only way in on foot is through lines of firing squads, defensive settings, ground vehicles, and coming into boat fire power. And the way in by air thick with our own air crafts. The line of retreat where the boats are being set, and by sky.

The crashed corvettes fusion reactors are being lined with remote detonated explosives, to insure it will be set to self destruct when we are ready. As some sleep some guard and some work.

After another hour of making metal plates all of them are devoted to making cover, because they are the last that will be. The rest of the metal will be for boats, weapons, ammo, and armor repairs.

Few question why we will be retreating to sea, under standing the tactical advantage of being able to retreat, advance, and fight all at the same time, as aposed to trying to remain holding ground, which isn't working very well.

Some wonder why not retreat now, others wonder why not go on the offence, others understand we are trying to focus as much as we can on making use of positions, numbers, and time.

Tomarrow morning we will be going hunting again if their is no additional attack. This time each unit will go with 3 dropships to get back to base faster if its attacked.
