That the Master had no records elsewhere was noted, and the damaged parts of the system seized on the explanation that some of the damages incurred elsewhere must have ended up with data loss. The files and statistics were upgraded and sent to the remainder of the fleet.
The unit Master Inspector RAN(MA) was flagged as an elite Master Unit. Unit's duties would require several units to be put under direct override/control for unit RAN(MA). This was normal and standard. The Unity would be served best by having a mini-Unity under direct control of a Master Inspector.
The Master Inspector accessed the thought-imager, a left over from designs previous to control-disc perfection and kept because it made a useful backup in case of malfunctions or operations which were to be kept from the originating Collective.
Units pictured were located and flagged to the Master Inspector as available. Transfer would be made and upgrades completed.
The Mothership was actually a sort of travelling factory/storage unit/warship. Its mission was to find planets with lifeforms of the appropriate type, signal the other ships of the find, and then begin harvesting the planet of bioforms that could then be properly brought into the Collective as useful parts.
As damage accrued, more and more of the ship began to experience pain and problems with systems. Finally the ship reacted by opening hatchways in a particular set of directions and closing those that were not. When one of the damaging infections took that path, it was a simple matter to trap that infection in an assault pod and launch it towards the originating planet. The mothership had not been able to take ALL the bioforms of that planet after all, and it could leave the remainder for the other motherships now approaching. That said, the Collective known as PR0N411 saw no reason to make it easier for the other Collectives and would leave the irritant behind as well.
PRON411 saw the assault pod land in one of the major land masses. That left the other parasite/infection which continued its assault. Antibody units dispatched to the scene had been destroyed, and so another method would have to be found.
Meanwhile, the Master Inspector had a Medium Assault Unit, a Repair Unit, and a Pleasure Unit assigned to him. Looking over the male styling of the Master Inspector, PRON411 quickly went over the images that the RAN(MA) had sent and dispatched two of those to the control junction room. Of course, they would be upgraded and programmed for the secondary role of Reproductive Unit.
Ranma was only aware that a few minutes passed after he'd gotten that acknowledged feeling, and now he turned to regard the two coming into the room. The two paid absolutely no attention to the three wall-connected units, being only concerned with the Inspector before them. Ranma knew them as:
