It would turn out that Admiral Andreyasn was on secret mission, to investigate the gatekeeper's artifacts. During the mission to Zoojack Station, half of the ship was blown away when she approached one of the Zoojacks too closely and its Pa'anuri defenders one of its two annie-plants; it was repaired in the Scrapyard of Insufferable Arrogance a large spacebouund Fabber. However the reconstruction of the ship was alternated with a mass of small annie-plants, because the Scrapyard couldn't build the full-size one.
