Chapter 954 The Need For Satisfaction::Ep139
- On base, Captain Perez led me to the central data center, where a backup system was ready for the install. We had a small team, Captain Perez, Enrique, one of the contractors from the day before, Sargent Jimenez, the system admin, and Ana Isabel, seemingly in the role of observer.
- The install went pretty smoothly, with one small hiccup we were able to resolve in about half-an-hour. We were ready to bring it up and establish the live connections to the two main databases by lunch. We took a well deserved break, relaxing over a meal in the Officer's Mess, before going back and lighting up the system. Our test code found a database inconsistency right away, but I was able to fix that, with some help from the Sargent, and by three o'clock, all lights were go.
- Major de Borbon called in and let them know that the install looked complete, and we'd passed all the initial tests and had established all of our connections. With an Ok from on high, we went live, watching the display change, units changing color as the maintenance history, combined with the available supplies, reported expected longevity before failure. Within the hour we had reports showing two shortages that needed addressing, and the results that could be expected once those were filled.
