<h3 style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; color: royalblue; font-weight: bold;">USS FEYNMAN: Evading the Pirates</h3> | |||
<h4 style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; color: royalblue; font-weight: bold;">by Joseph Baker 7-30-1996</h4> | |||
SD: 80730.1857<br> | |||
MD: 5.1300<br> | |||
The pirate ships were quite easy to evade now that their crews were all on | |||
the FEYNMAN trying to reap its technological treasures, with little | |||
success. The mines were a little bit more difficult to dodge, though, as | |||
they were stil under the control of the pirate base. Even under minimal | |||
impulse power, LT Jerran was able to maneuver away with only a couple of | |||
them exploding, causing minimal damage to the ship's shielding. | |||
"We've cleared the minefield, Captain," he reported. "Proceeding on the | |||
elliptical orbit you specified. ETA back at the pirate base, 11 hours, | |||
57.9 minutes and counting." | |||
"None of the pirate ships are pursuing," LT Jenn added. | |||
Zane nodded and said, "It would appear that they sent all their people | |||
over to try and capture us. So much the better." | |||
"Security reports coming in from Engineering, sir," Tamarov reported. | |||
"They say they've got the situation mostly in hand, with a few stragglers | |||
yet to be accounted for. They've managed to do some moderate damage to | |||
the warp core. We won't have that back online for a few hours, at least." | |||
"LT Jenn, divert all remaining power from the fusion reactors to the | |||
sensor systems and bring the emergency reactors and batteries up to full | |||
standby just in case something happens." | |||
"Aye, sir," the OPS officer said. | |||
<NRPG> | |||
Welllll, I know this was short and sweet, but I just wanted to set it up | |||
for us to get back to do the infiltration thing. That oughta be fun :) | |||
We should be back at the base by 6.0100, unless anything big, ugly, and | |||
with three nacelles comes up and attacks us. | |||
