SCENE Somewhere out in space | |||
The entity continued to seethe, waiting for the right opportunity to strike. It | |||
had waited long enough; soon the metaphor-being would be in its power. There | |||
was no way to stop it this time. Its power was much greater closer to the source. | |||
Soon, it would have control of the humanoid and its vessel with it. | |||
USS Feynman:Bridge | |||
Maril felt a shiver pass through his body, as though he had just woken up from | |||
a dream. He looked around him, but everything was fine. | |||
"Are you okay, Commander?" Captain Zane asked, looking up from his | |||
armrest console. | |||
"Fine, sir," Maril replied, trying to look relaxed. "Just a breath from Kirerdo." | |||
Zane nodded knowingly, although his eyes still focused on Maril for a second. | |||
Slowly, he turned back to the armrest. | |||
Maril still felt strange, though. That shiver had been no ordinary shiver. It had | |||
been colder, almost like an icy grip that had grabbed him without warning. | |||
"What the-" came Lt.(jg) Allard's voice from behind. | |||
"Is there a problem, Lieutenant?" Maril asked curiously, turning his head, as | |||
the Captain swung around to look at Allard. | |||
"Ah, no, sir, just a bump in the level of graviton particles about 5 AU's to our | |||
starboard for about three seconds. It was probably just a sensor glitch, if it was | |||
anything." | |||
"Get someone to check on that, Lieutenant," Zane ordered calmly. | |||
"Aye, sir." | |||
As Zane looked back at a PADD and Allard talked to a junior officer about the | |||
sensor array, Maril wondered: was there something really happening, or was he | |||
just seeing reskolins in the waves? | |||
MD 4.2000 | |||
After a few moments of whispering between Zane and Maril, Zane finally got | |||
out of his coveted chair and walked into his Ready Room. Maril didn't sit down in | |||
it, however. Although he would have liked to, it was past his shift, so he simply | |||
announced: | |||
"Alright, ALPHA shift is over, BETA shift crews take stations. Lieutenant | |||
Meleah, you have the Conn." | |||
Meleah looked surprised as she got up from the science station and sat down | |||
in the Command Chair. That was odd; Maril doubted that the android had | |||
forgotten about her shift. Perhaps it was part of her emotion program. | |||
MD 4.2100 | |||
First Officer's Office | |||
Maril glanced at the information collected at the Serapis's destruction site. | |||
Remembering the cold grip he had felt earlier, he shivered again. Would this | |||
feeling of dread never go away? | |||
The sun has met the sea,<br> | |||

First Officer, USS Feynman,<br> | |||
aka Max Felsher<br> | |||

So, that's that. | |||
Sorry for not posting in a while. | |||
I'd estimate that we'll reach the edge of Issashi space at about 6.1200. This | |||
would agree with Andy's post which said it would be over 36 hours to the nearest | |||
system along that heading. (FYI, Jerran has the shift after Meleah, and Jenn and | |||
Koreth have BETA and GAMMA shift the next day. | |||
A weapon which would destroy our SIF would definitely be dangerous. I was | |||
reading my tech manual and it seems that if our SIF/IDF fails, the most we can | |||
accelerate is 30 m/sec/sec, while full impulse speed can sometimes cause | |||
accelerations more than 300 times that. | |||
My best guess on exactly how this weapon would work is that the ytterbium would | |||
somehow react with the ceramic-polymer composite that conducts the SIF, | |||
thereby not allowing the SIF to operate (since there would be no way to create it.) | |||
