"Report." Zane ordered as he exited the turbolift. His eyes | |||
directed at the events on the main viewscreen. | |||
Jerran was still sitting in the command chair quickly entering | |||
commands into the arm console. Zane noted how the FCO looked like he | |||
belonged there, the calm efficency. He'd make a fine captain one day. | |||
He rose to give Zane the seat. | |||
Jerran quickly gave him an update on the incoming passenger liner. | |||
He turned to the OPS officer. "Put its stats up on the viewer" | |||
Instantly an image of the OLYMPIA was visible on the left side of | |||
the viewscreen, the right side a text based listing of its specification. | |||
"Hmmm..." Zane read aloud. "...standard liner. Warp 4 max. | |||
navigational screens only, minmial lasers to take care of stray debris, | |||
5000 passengers, 1200 crew. She's a hell of a long way from home and the | |||
normal traffic routes. Helm plot an intercept course, full impulse." | |||
"Captain something is happening on the surface of the ring!" | |||
"On screen." Zane ordered. | |||
"It looks like some sort of space dock doors are opening....yes | |||
there are some ships emerging." | |||
"Where is this happening." Zane asked. | |||
"Almost on the exact opposite side of the Ring from the Luddite settlement." | |||
Over the next two minutes the bridge crew watched as 8 ships | |||
emerged and the door closed. A quick search of the computer database | |||
placed the ships as Panarik cargo carriers. The Panarik were a peaceful | |||
people who, other than periodic trading ventures, kept to themselves. | |||
Unfortunately they were unable to grow enough food to feed themselves so | |||
they traded mechanical equipment with several communities throughout the | |||
Ring....including the Luddites." | |||
Zane frowned. They couldn't let those ships enter the Luddite | |||
community. "If they are heading for the Luddite Community how long will | |||
it take them to reach it?" | |||
"Based on the reports of past survey teams, those things are | |||
built around a fairly inefficient fusion drive....I'd say 4 maybe 5 | |||
days." | |||
"Good, one problem to put on the back-burner for now but lets | |||
make sure we can an eye on them." | |||
"Sir we're approaching the OLYMPIA." | |||
"All stop. Hail them." | |||
