Scene: Husnock Mining Facility<br> | |||
As the light from the transporter faded, Tarrant and the rest of the | |||
away team had a sinking feeling in thier stomach's. Not because | |||
there was nothing there of intrest, but because the gravity was | |||
turned off, leaving only the limited moon's gravity to hold them down. | |||
There was only one large room that made up this level of the facility. | |||
Much of the equipment appeared to be attached to the ceiling and | |||
floors facing inward, though there was no sign of power or recent use. | |||
Cdr Maril float-bounced, and turned to Tarrant, he looked quite | |||
uncomfortable. "Perran without direction." | |||
The partial klingon pulled out his tricorder and started, "Scanning... | |||
hmm, It's an interresting setup. It seems that this facitity was meant | |||
to rotate, which increases gravity" | |||
"And the axis looks like some large drill bit that's burrowed into | |||
the moon itself." added Chief Bate. She was a recent addition | |||
to the Engineering team who looked to have promise. | |||
She looked a bit confused, "Why would the Husnock's use | |||
such an archaic method to drill?" | |||
"Perhaps the element they're looking for is too volatile for | |||
energy beam extraction." It was one possible answer, "but | |||
right now we need to get power and find our arrow." | |||
The teams 'bounced' to designated sections to try and determine | |||
anything and everything they could. Tarrant and Maril meanwhile | |||
looked at a large cylidrical device that went through the center | |||
of the building. | |||
"Myra around the axis of Chapar?" asked Maril. | |||
"I'm not sure. Most of the Husnock technology turned itself | |||
off or blew a backup relay that caused shutdown when thier | |||
people were ... " Tarrant tried to find the right word but failed. | |||
"Anyway, we should be able to reset the system and it'll come | |||
back on line." | |||
Maril pointed towards a 'charred' looking cuplink. | |||
Opening his kit, Tarrant pulled out his micro-welder and set | |||
about bypassing the link. | |||
"Look out people, I thing we might have movement..." announced. | |||
Tarrant after a few minutes. | |||
Soon after, the room and building started to rotate. As the speed | |||
slowly increased so did the lighting brightness. Eventually everything | |||
was sent 'to the walls', as the sideways gravity set in. As was usual | |||
with the Husnock, once everything was operating it ran perfectly. | |||
The gravity was not too much to force thier bodies to the floor/side, | |||
but was enough to put them solidly on thier feet. Then, all of a sudden, | |||
the computers lit up as if everything was immediately turned on | |||
at once. | |||
"Tarrant to Meleah..." | |||
There was no reply. | |||
<NRPG> | |||
Well, now we need to find our arrow to the next spot. | |||
AS for the building... I really like that ride at the fair's called the | |||
Gravitron, and that's kind of what I was thinking of, but not as | |||
extreme. With the moons diminished gravity as it is I think this | |||
might work. | |||
Although it'll be a little disconcerting lookin up and seeing | |||
the rest of the room :p | |||
