When was the Maru repaired?

                        In the premier trailers, the Maru was looking as good as 
                        new. But in TATEOTL, it was a mess! When was it 
                        repaired?

                        ^Never underestimate the speed at which Rommie can 
                        manufacture replacement parts and perform repairs...
                        She has the entire schematic of the Maru in her memory 
                        and she probably began repairs the second the ship 
                        landed.

                        Oh, I see, so she depoyed a team of super repair bots

                        She probably used the ships repair nanobots to repair 
                        the Maru... at least that is my thought...

                        I see, it still doesn't make much sense, especially 
                        since Andromeda stayed messy for at least 3 weeks after 
                        TWG

                        The Andromeda is also more than tens times the mass and 
                        ten times the length with a correspondingly larger 
                        volume. The hull damage and most of the damage had been 
                        repaired by the time of Exit Staregies, 2 weeks later. 
                        All the major reapairs had been done and it was only the 
                        removal of thousands of Magog bodies that slowed things 
                        down considerably.

                        As for the Maru, she could still fly on autopliot so her 
                        electronics hadn't been compromised and the damage, 
                        outside of the loss of a chunk of hull not vital for 
                        structural bracing was superficial. Burn marks from some 
                        abliation of the hull by the plasma wave, maybe a loss 
                        of external transmitters. All they would need to do was 
                        quickly machine a replacement piece of hull and nanoweld 
                        in into place, replace the melted antennae and then run 
                        a through systems check to see if everything still 
                        worked and then they could launch. Unless the time 
                        postulated for repairs was something silly like five 
                        minutes the Maru could be back in action pretty quickly.

                        I think that the key word is "mess". It looked pretty 
                        messy (probably mostly the results of a single moderate 
                        impact, sufficient to bow out the cockpit 'canopy) and 
                        the subsequent explosive decompression) and there were 
                        visible 'flames' on landing (possibly venting and plasma 
                        from the designed-in vaporization of ablative armor), 
                        but it was little damaged, functionally. A few 
                        non-essential braces or pipes fell (who knows how sturdy 
                        those were in the first place) but the Maru was 
                        sufficiently undamaged that it returned to the 
			Andromeda.

                        It might not have taken more than a couple of Marias 
                        with nanowelders to tidy things up. Time (and priority) 
                        factors still make this a bit problematic, but hey, what 
                        can I say?
