ISV Endurance — Salvage & Refit Inventory
There is no yard within reach. There is no yard within a year of reach. Everything aboard the Endurance is what we brought, what we took, or what we cut off something else. This ledger is the difference between a ship and a wreck — kept by hand, corrected in pen, and signed by whoever is still answering for it.

SALVAGE & REFIT INVENTORY · KEPT BY THE ENGINEERING WATCH
STATUS KEY · FITTED in service · SALVAGED recovered, awaiting fit · JURY-RIG field bodge, holding · EXPENDED / ZERO gone, none left.
1 · HULL & STRUCTURE
| ITEM | SOURCE | STATUS | NOTE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supply modules 1–3 | Original build | EXPENDED / ZERO | Sheared at the collars in the sabotage. Gone with the aft third. |
| Berthing module 4 | Original build | EXPENDED / ZERO | Lost with aft third. Crew doubled forward; bunks hot-racked. |
| Frames 31–34 | Derelict hull-alloy | FITTED | Torn out and re-welded. Cut stock off the derelict, fed the printer, set them back. |
| Frame 44 | Original build | JURY-RIG | Cracked. Vacuum-sealed and abandoned to space. Do not open that bulkhead. |
| Structural collars (aft) | Original build | JURY-RIG | Blanked off. The mating ring now closes onto nothing. Capped and pressure-tested. |
| Aft alloy patch-plate | Derelict hull-alloy | FITTED | Two grades of metal, one ship. Spectrometer says they're not even the same century. |
2 · PROPULSION & POWER
| ITEM | SOURCE | STATUS | NOTE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fold drive — commit charge | Original build | ONE COMMIT LEFT | One. Whole crew knows it. Nobody says it. We fold once more or we don't fold. |
| Feedstock barrels | Boarded derelict | FINITE · COUNTING DOWN | Took everything that would roll. Drives the printer, feeds the loaf line. We are eating our spares. |
| Primary feed manifold | Derelict parts | JURY-RIG | Wrong bore by 3mm. Ferris machined a collar. Holds at pressure. Watch it on the gauge. |
| Coolant loop, aft run | Original build | JURY-RIG | Re-routed forward of the lost modules. Loses a little. Top it weekly, log it daily. |
3 · ORDNANCE
| ITEM | SOURCE | STATUS | NOTE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Close-defence magazine — commissioning load | Original build · 1,140 rds | EXPENDED / ZERO | 1,140 rounds at commissioning. Then 1,140 down to nothing. Magazine read ZERO. |
| Pattern rounds — re-arm load | Ascendant stock, re-sleeved | FITTED | Ferris turned them down and re-sleeved them to our bore. They are not ours. They go bang. That'll do. |
| Close-defence feed mechanism | Original build | JURY-RIG | Re-timed for the heavier pattern rounds. First belt jammed twice. Now it doesn't. Mostly. |
4 · STORES & LIFE SUPPORT
| ITEM | SOURCE | STATUS | NOTE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydroponics / gardens | Original build | EXPENDED / ZERO | Killed by Ferris to buy a fold. The whole garden, traded for one jump. Nothing grows aboard now. |
| Printer loaf line | Feedstock + printer | FITTED · SOLE RATION | It's loaf or it's hunger. Same loaf every meal. Crew calls it the brick. Crew eats the brick. |
| Fresh / cultivated food | Was: gardens | EXPENDED / ZERO | Last green thing aboard went out the airlock with the soil. Nobody asks for salad. |
| Water reclamation | Original build | FITTED | The one system that hasn't betrayed us. Runs as designed. We knock the panel for luck. |
5 · ALIEN-DERIVED FITTINGS
| ITEM | SOURCE | STATUS | NOTE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Feedstock matrix, aft | Alien-derived | WELDED ON | Welded onto the hull aft. We don't fully understand it. It feeds the printer. We feed off it. |
| Pressure-rig emitter | Salvaged Orun unit | WELDED ON | Orun emitter, welded to the hull. Powers the pressure-rig. Hums at a pitch no human cut. |
| Pattern-round stock | Ascendant | RE-SLEEVED · IN USE | See §3. Their rounds, our gun. The ship is now made of whoever we met out here. |
ENGINEER'S REMARK · APPENDED TO LEDGER
She left the yard as a clean ship — one builder, one alloy, one number on every part. I have a page here that says she is now alien matrix aft, dead-man's hull amidships, and somebody else's ammunition in the gun. Two grades of metal. Three grades of luck. Her own garden out the airlock so she could move once more.
None of it is to spec. All of it holds. That is the whole trick of being out here: a ship isn't what they built — it's what's still answering when you call. The Endurance still answers. One commit left, and she still answers.
