==[ORIGINS] USS HOOD: Subspace Streams== | |||

SD 2261.143 | |||
<Snip from "Off to see the NAV" with the addition of one word `mostly'> | |||
Jack nodded. The new Starship Program has certainly done a great deal in | |||
pushing back the Federation frontier into uncharted space. Star charts were | |||
updated on an almost daily basis. Which didn't stop them both from hoping that | |||
the latest download would contain some specific information on a particular area | |||
of the quadrant. Special downloads were generally the first step in new mission | |||
orders. He still couldn't believe that command would leave HOOD floating around | |||
a quiet sector in explored space. "Lieutenant I get the sense that you're not | |||
someone who generally likes to stand on a lot of ceremony. Am I right?" | |||
"Well captain I adhere to military protocol as proscribed in the | |||
code, mostly, but no I can't say I'm for all the pomp and ceremony." | |||
"Good." He tossed her a small black box. | |||
Her eyes widened slightly as she opened it up and examined the | |||
contents. "Thats the Bronze Star Medal." | |||
"So it is. Congratulations lieutenant." | |||
"I'm not sure I understand sir." | |||
"All I had to do is append your action after report, and those | |||
of the bridge officers under your command, along with my own recommendation and | |||
Command signed off on the medal. You did an outstanding job juggling several | |||
important balls while I and the other senior officers were off the ship. That | |||
medal is well deserved." | |||
<end snip> | |||
"Awww, that's so sweet." | |||
The Captain looked taken aback slightly by the not so protocolish response, but | |||
recovered seamlessly. "Well, I appreciate knowing the ship is in good hands | |||
when I'm not around." | |||
He looked around the office she'd only just had time to start decorating, | |||
stepping over to a display where she had a pair of subspace stream maps of core | |||
Federation space side by side. He turned back and smirked. "Really? Sweet?" | |||
"Sorry, sir. I meant to say something like `It is an honor to have ones | |||
accomplishments, no matter how trivial they may have been recognized and I'm | |||
glad to have had the opportunity to serve this ship and through it the good | |||
citizens of the Federation, sir." She snapped her hands behind her back and | |||
clicked her boot heels together at attention, for a moment. | |||
"Much better." He turned and examined the first map. "Subspace streams?" | |||
"Yes," Cedria stepped over to the wall display. "Flows of subspace that can | |||
amplify warp signatures by anywhere from a factor of two to a couple orders of | |||
magnitude. That's sector zero zero one there." | |||
"I recognize it." He stepped to the second display. "I haven't seen this one | |||
to my recollection." | |||
"It's from the data you collected. The same sector in the other universe, sir." | |||
Cedria pointed out the major systems. "The subspace streams are like old time | |||
dirt paths. If not used they flow and change. In Captain Archers day there was | |||
a naturally occurring stream from Earth to Qo'noS, allowing travel to the | |||
Klingon homeworld in four days at warp 4.5. With the relations between the | |||
Federation and Klingons what they are that stream dissipated completely twenty | |||
years ago. The stream from Earth to Vulcan was even stronger. That trip could | |||
be made in four minutes, but the new singularity and lack of travel is already | |||
causing it to degrade." | |||
She moved to the second display. "In our counterparts universe, no real | |||
exchange of culture between Earth and Vulcan happened. Theres no travel stream | |||
at all. It would take them five days pushing their engines to get to Vulcan. | |||
In some ways the similarities between universes were staggering. In other ways | |||
it's the differences that are staggering." | |||
The Captain looked back and forth between the two. "So tactically speaking this | |||
information is,…?" | |||
"Absolutely worthless, sir." | |||
"Excellent work then, Lieutenant." He smirked again and she joined him. | |||
"Thank you, sir." | |||
Respectfully submitted; | |||
