<h4 style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; color: royalblue; font-weight: bold;">by Kevin Thigpen 9-14-1997</h4> | |||
Stardate: 90914.1735<br> | |||
Scene: Bridge---->Observation Lounge<br> | |||
MD: 9.0900<br> | |||
Loren strode onto the bridge as soon as the lift doors parted. Visually | |||
the bridge appeared the same as always, but underlying the sense of duty | |||
was an air of intense cautiousness, and worry. | |||
"Lt. Jerran, bring us out of warp and at station keeping just outside the | |||
system," ordered Zane from the command chair flanked by Cardiff, Flint, | |||
Stone, and Maril. Loren move over near tactical from where he could get a | |||
good view of the main viewscreen and system M5578-B. | |||
A flash of light strobed across the viewscreen as it focused on the system | |||
and the first step of the mission, the fourth planet in the eight planet | |||
system. "Shields are holding, sir," reported Krysa from Ops. | |||
Even at a distance, this particular pulsar was emitting gamma radiation on | |||
a magnitude matched by few catalogued pulsars. The fact that the system | |||
possessed no precious minerals or life, added to the fact that a few hours | |||
direct exposure could render a top of the line starship shielding system | |||
useless, ensured that the Guardian's resting place remained known only to | |||
top officials in the Starfleet Temporal Division. | |||
Loren was so intently focused on the fourth planet, and the presence that | |||
rested there, that he almost didn't hear Zane call for a senior staff | |||
meeting in the observation lounge. | |||
"You going to stand there all day," stated J.C. to the wide-eyed Loren. | |||
Blinking at first slowly, Loren withdrew from the presence on the planet | |||
to look at the CSO. | |||
"Whaat...Oh, no, no. Just thinking," replied Loren turning to head for | |||
the observation lounge. | |||
[SNIP] | |||
"The pulsar is a fast rotator as far as pulsars go, but the FEYNMAN can't | |||
afford to be directly exposed to it long even with her shields," stated | |||
Flint as he pointed to the sectional slice of M5578-B. | |||
Continuing with their disturbing habit, Stone picked up as soon as Flint's | |||
sentence trailed off. "Therefore, the FEYNMAN will come in behind the | |||
fourth planet, and take up station keeping on it's farthest side from the | |||
pulsar. We will then put an away team on the planet, who will make | |||
contact with the Guardian, and proceed with the mission from there." | |||
The senior staff had already gone over the mission specific details days | |||
ago, but Flint and Stone had argued that another would be necessary to | |||
finalize mission details. | |||
Both men paused to accept questions from the staff. | |||

[NRPG: Just a vague little something to put us in the system with the | |||
Guardian. I added the pulsar bit just to make things interesting <VBG>.] | |||
