NO CREW ABOARD
It sails, holds, and works without hands. Your berth stays covered through weather you wouldn't send people into.
The Medusa-Class Drift Node holds station for weeks — rig legs, hull crawl, trawl watch, salvage follow — with no crew aboard and one overseer watching the desk. Chartered by the year, serviced by us, guaranteed without footnotes.
It sails, holds, and works without hands. Your berth stays covered through weather you wouldn't send people into.
Unit, task, uplink, state — a single overseer signs the night off. Fourteen hulls read as one calm board.
Winch recovery, bench turnaround, heads guaranteed. If a head fails in charter service, we replace it and ask questions.
| COVERAGE | Grid + approaches. Rig legs, hull crawl, trawl watch, salvage follow — re-tasked between passes at no extra charge. |
| RELAY | Private passes every ninety minutes, burst windows included. No dead zones, no leased pipe. |
| TOOLING | All four heads included — grip, cut, survey, patch. Snap-on, swapped gloved in seconds. Guaranteed. |
| SERVICE | Recovery and bench work are ours. Cradle fit, relay seat, and factory stamp checked every turnaround. |
| UPGRADE | Long-service memory socket fitted standard. Standard core included; long-service units quoted by berth and seasons. |
Most hulls ship with a standard core — strong hands, short memory, and nothing to think about. But a rig tender that has learned its own berth, or a salvage crawler with seasons of bottom time, earns the long-service unit: same socket, full deployment history kept against its factory stamp, so no two read alike.
Reading a full history back is bench work by appointment — logged and witnessed on our side, by design. Tell us the berth and the seasons; we'll tell you honestly whether standard is enough.
Nothing on your side. Pairs carry the load, the unit finishes the shift, and the bundle is re-extruded on our bench. That's what the guarantee means.
Next window after the bench signs it — cradle fit, relay seat, stamp logged. Talk to the desk; the bottleneck is the sea, never the shop.
No. That's the product. One overseer at the charter desk watches unit, task, uplink, and state while the hull does its own thing over there.
The socket is fitted free; long-service units are quoted per berth. Budget the history-read appointment, not the hardware — every full pull is logged on our side.
The sell is above. The shop truth is below — five steps, collapsed so the page stays a pitch. Open what interests you.
Why spun: a weld is a promise the sea collects on. One continuous skin spreads pressure instead of hunting a seam. Light domes go to buoy relay holds and trawl watch; heavy crowns go to rig legs and salvage follow.
Recovery: two lifting eyes, pier hand-winch rated. Harpoon line soft, winch up, cradle locked — the same three motions in any weather the pier stands in. A dome that won't sit level is re-trimmed, never forced.
Pairing: tendrils are plumbed and signaled as pairs; a slack side hands its load to its partner automatically. Six for calm water, eight for rigs — the dome takes either bundle.
Tips: one thread on every tip. Grippers, cutters, and survey heads turn onto any arm, gloved, in under a minute. A lost tool never strands a dive.
Routing: a doubled fused-silica loop circles the dome, drops down every tendril, and returns. Signals run both directions; the unit listens to whichever arrives cleaner.
Slack: every drop carries service slack where the water pulls hardest. That extra loop of glass is the whole reliability story — total blindness takes two independent cuts the sea hasn't managed yet.
Uniform body: every Medusa shares one chassis, so training, spares, and cradles all assume it. Four heads — grip, cut, survey, patch — cover everything; exotics bolt onto a standard head.
Guarantee: heads are hardened past caring and replaced free in charter service. If one fails, the shop wants the story.
Three checks, every hull: sit level in a rigid cradle, seat a relay on the first push, report the date of first spin-up without hesitation. That stamp is how the bench tells identical hulls apart seasons later.
Opening: three fasteners split dome from bundle; bus and ring lift out as one cassette. Ten minutes, one deckhand, no water work. Four shop stocks — hull alloy, conductor, silica, slag ballast — feed raw, pull parts.
