Deep Sea Technicians and Deep Sea Witches were the two most important types of technical fishfolk in the Sea Monster Kingdom. They possessed abilities in engineering and theoretical research far beyond those of other sea monsters. To strengthen those abilities, they even created structures within their bodies during mimicry that enhanced their computational power and assisted their thinking—Cassandra herself was a Deep Sea Witch, but one Deep Sea Witch was clearly not enough to deal with a colossal construct like Firmament Station.
Although Gawain had said when they left Firmament Station that there was no rush to repair the space station, now that General Vanessa had arrived with an expeditionary force, Cassandra casually asked about it. If they had brought enough technical fishfolk, perhaps the sisters could be sent ahead to examine the ancient systems left behind by the Voyagers.
"Deep Sea Technicians and Deep Sea Witches?" General Vanessa froze for a moment. "Not many—we only brought the teams necessary for maintaining war machines and conducting wasteland research. I brought an army, not a scientific expedition."
"Ah... all right," Cassandra said with some regret. The sisters responsible for maintaining war machines and researching the wasteland were obviously indispensable to this expeditionary force. With their limited numbers, there was no way to spare some and send them into space. "Then forget it."

"His Majesty Gawain Cecil plans to repair that space station—it will require the help of dragons and sea monsters. Based on my earlier exploration of Firmament Station, the space facilities left behind by the Voyagers will... be
