Scene: Bridge<br> | |||
Zane entered the bridge with great anticipation. Three days of | |||
monotonous travel had taken its toll and he was thankful they had finally | |||
arrived. He noticed that all the senior officers who had ALPHA watch were | |||
already at their stations. It seemed they too were looking forward to the | |||
next FEYNMAN adventure. | |||
"We're approaching the Coalsack's perimeter." The FCO told him. | |||
"Slow to impulse. And hold at 10,000km." | |||
"Aye sir." Jerran replied. | |||
"What's behind there, lieLutenant?" | |||
"Sensors are having trouble penetrating the 'wall'." The OPS | |||
officer replied as her fingers flew across her board. | |||
"Lt Meleah?" Zane asked. | |||
"One moment sir." The new SCI, sitting at the bridge science | |||
station began to fine tune the DELPHI Array. She had expected such a | |||
problem and had already completed modifications. | |||
"Begining to receive some information now sir...." As Jenn began | |||
to relay the information to the rest of the bridge, Zane pulled up her | |||
diosplays on his arm console. It didn't look very inviting. | |||
"Bridge to engineering." | |||
[Koreth here.] | |||
"Mr. Koreth are the two communication relay pods ready for | |||
launch?" | |||
[Yes sir. We're locked and loaded.] | |||
After the briefing the Admiral had sent out they had taken some | |||
extra precautions one of which was to adjust two probes to become enhanced | |||
communications relays. It had been decided that the FEYNMAN, on its | |||
own would most likely lose contact with EPSILON after entering the sack | |||
and that these two probes would, hopefully, allieviate this. The first | |||
would be deployed here, just outside the sack and was essentially a | |||
standard communications relay. The second would be deployed just inside | |||
the sack. When discussing the idea the new SCI had suggested that the | |||
storms and their resulting currents and eddies would most likely send the | |||
relay thousands of kilometres away from its intended station thus negating | |||
its effects. As a solution, Lt. Koreth had, with a little improvisation, | |||
attached a small computer and engine to the probe which would keep it with | |||
100km of its desired position. | |||
"Ensign Allard deploy probe 1." | |||
"Probe one away." | |||
"Put me on ship wide Ensign." | |||
"Aye sir." | |||
"Attention all hands, this is the Captain. In a few moments we | |||
will be entering the Coalsack. As I'm sure you are all aware it is a most | |||
uninviting place. While the FEYNMAN is well suited to this environment we | |||
can expect to be jostled around somewhat, especially upon entry. So grab | |||
something solid and hold on. See you on the other side. Zane out." He | |||
turned to face Maril. "Here we go." | |||
"Raise shields and go to yellow alert." The first officer | |||
ordered. | |||
"Mr. Jerran take us in 1/4 impulse." | |||

Scene: Bridge, USS PHOENIX<br> | |||
"We've just received word from TYPHOON sir, FEYNMAN has | |||
just entered the 'sack at position L-357." | |||
"Helm set course for the TYPHOON, warp 1. Signal the ARGONAUT and | |||
the ROLLING THUNDER to join us there." | |||
"Sensors have picked up a small probe left just outside the | |||
'sack." | |||
"A communications relay?" Tremaine asked. | |||
"Think so." His exec replied. | |||
"Can we access it?" | |||
"Already working on it." | |||
"Excellent." He leaned back in his chair smiling. Everything was | |||
proceeding to plan. In a few days they would have the information they | |||
needed and in a few days more they'd be heroes. Pity that the FEYNMAN | |||
might have to be 'removed'. The thought of firing on Starfleet officers | |||
was not a pleasant one. Still, it was officers like them, so officious | |||
and rigid that had put him and his crew in the position they were now in. | |||
But not for long. His sources at Starfleet Command had told him that 5 | |||
new ships were being readied for launch. He meant to have one. | |||
<<<NRPG>>> | |||
Well let this wooden writing be a lesson to those of you who get up early | |||
and try to be creative before coffee. Knew a few people going to the | |||
Olympics and I was silly enough to stay up and watch the opening | |||
ceremonies in the hopes of seeing them...my wife saw one. | |||
Melanie/Mike Dailey: Please note mission dates. The last few before this | |||
one took place on or about MD:1.1400. This one is MD:4.0600, almost 3 | |||
days later. So we can assume that nothing of major import happened during | |||
that time. However, any backposts such as Maril meeting Meleah would now | |||
be out of sinc so the MD tells us right away where the post fits in to the | |||
greater story-line. (Am I helping or confusing...I can smell the coffee | |||
its almost done!) | |||
Mike Dailey:I received a NRPG from you saying Here is my security | |||
rostor...but there was no security roster! | |||
