==[ORIGINS] USS HOOD: Time not flying== | |||
===by Andy Catterick=== | |||
SD: 2260.335 | |||
Scene: Cabin 526, Transport to Arcturus | |||
Jack lay on his bunk and stared out at the passing starfield. They had been on the commercial transport for the better part of 9 hours and he cringed at the fact that there was still more then 50 to go. Three days on this overcrowded, death trap was not at all appealing especially when he knew if they’d taken HOOD they’d have been there by now. | |||
He was looking forward to seeing Arcturus in a morbid fascination sort of way. The world was legendary throughout the Federation although very few people ever went there. It was, for all intents and purposes, a planet in complete anarchy, but the one planet where it worked. Situated on the edge of Federation space it bordered both the Klingon and Romulan empires while finding itself wedged into some of the most notorious pirate and crime syndicate regions in the galaxy. It was a crossroads. | |||
There was absolutely no government on the planet. Each region was run by any number of groups. One are was a pirate stronghold, another part of the Orion Syndicate, still another run by a front groups pack by a pan-galactic business conglomerate. Alliances were created and smashed on a daily basis as one region took advantage over another. There were no morals, no laws, no police. But it worked. It had to work there was money involved. A lot of money. | |||
Arcturus was a place where people went to be lost. Or a place where your wildest fantasies could be fulfilled. Illegal good from any world in any empire or federation could be had. At a price. | |||
It was the perfect place for a Romulan defector to flee to. And the worse. | |||
Jack shuddered as his mind drifted to all the things that could go wrong. Suddenly 50 hours didn’t see all that long. | |||
<<<NRPG>>> | |||
Just some back post on the journey. Don’t want to do the whole mission in a week. Dan, I assumed John was sitting up in some type of cramped observation deck when he was having fun with the annoying kid. | |||
Some great posts this week so far. I guess it’s Steve and Dan’s turn to be on fire! | |||
Respectfully, | |||
