Zimo. ``Vanna: How about a cruise on their river? ``Zola: Zaa. ``Vanna: I want to take things slowly, but I do not want to stand still. ``Zola: You lead, I follow. ``Vanna: It is not far. ``Zola: We can have dinner again on the boat, and I will pay. ``Vanna: Good, and I can buy a couple of things to take back with us. {Algol Space Dock Apron – Lower Deck ~ 3} ``Captain: I think we are still suffering from the celebrations, which is all Gina and Jarry’s fault. It is a delight to have Auntie here with us, onboard our Saucer. You may notice some pull or push as we slow down or speed up, but it is nothing to worry about. If all goes well, we should be home in a qef. Zimo. {Algol Space Dock Apron – Upper Deck ~ 4} ``Kirin: Captain, I am not happy with the instruments, there seems to be a slight fluctuation. ``Captain: Full checks, Jarry. --- ``Jarry: All okay, Captain. ``Captain: It could be the difference in the fuel mixture. ``Kirin: I concur. Let us go! ``Jarry: Drawbridge up. We have permission to lift-off. ``Captain: Whizz. ``Kirin: Orbit and Hyperdrive. ``Jarry: Mach 14 and time to wormhole is 1st-time. ``Captain: Drinks Jarry. ``Captain: [Intercom] Tetra to the bridge, quin. --- ``Tetra: Zaa, Captain. ``Captain: Take us through this wormhole, quin. ``Tetra: Zaa, but you are off course, change to heading 133º. ``Kirin: Zaa, Tetra. ``Tetra: You are too high. Tilt 5º down, and drop Hyperdrive. ``Kirin: Zaa, Tetra. ``Tetra: Mach 4. ``Jarry: We are increasing speed to Mach 11. ``Tetra: You are slide-slipping! -|- ``Captain: I have control. ``Jarry: there is a vortex to port. ``Tetra: We must stay clear of that at all costs. Heading 130º Captain. ``Captain: Zaa, Tetra. ``Tetra: Infrared lighting on. ``Jarry: Lighting on. ``Tetra: The trick is to dip her underneath it, like going down a hill and up the other side without creating additional speed. ``Captain: We are going through the tunnel. Is that a pinhole of light? ``Tetra: Zaa, we are now coming out on the other side. ``Captain: Kirin, take over, and Jarry another round of hot drinks, we all need them. ``Jarry: Zaa. ``Captain: Tetra, take over and plot us a new course for home. ``Tetra: I have sent a message off, with the updates. We can now go into Hyperdrive. ``Captain: Whizz. ``Tetra: I have recalculated the reciprocal course and taken in the deviation readings, and it would suggest a course correction, heading 092º. ``Captain: Approved. ``Tetra: Captain another course correction, heading 089º. ``Captain: See what the graph says, because it is odd. --- ``Tetra: I have overlaid and cross referenced it from the sextant co-ordinances, I can confirm we need 089º. ``Captain: Confirmed. Kirin, alter course. ``Kirin: Zaa, Captain. What on earth is that? ``Jarry: I am picking up some interference. ``Captain: Explain? ``Tetra: Something is coming to towards us from behind, it appears to be moving fast, but cannot get a clear image of what it is, so I am filtering the image. < Previous Page 495 Pollux <12.4.5> Hotter [25 = 438 <482> 00 = 105] Next Page 497> |
