Captain, Cavie, Councillor, Dalbir, Dux, Farle, Fleet, Kirin, Principal, Radio, Tetra, ~ 11

``Tetra: We are heading towards Polaris Star, and I always wanted to go there. ``Dalbir: We can all dream, later. ``Tetra: It is taking a long time to compute and it says 5 units, so we must remain stationary. --- I have checked it against the sextant, and I am now making a hard printout. Therefore according to calculations from their last known check-in position, they were already well off course, and going north. ``Captain: Most interesting. ``Tetra: I have calculated the time against distance and when in time we first heard the distress call, and oh heck. ``Kirin: What is wrong? ``Tetra: They must be . I have transmitted the co-ordinates off to Algol and Cepheus. ``Captain: Zarfs Tetra. That is us done for today. ``Dalbir: Who is going to suggest it first? ``Captain: Tilt the Saucer, and let us all do a zero gravity exercise on the lower deck. ``Kirin: A pleasure, Captain. ``Tetra: Wow this is real fun. ``Dalbir: This is fabulous. ``Captain: You have control, so I can have a spin. ``Tetra: Zarfs Captain that was exhilarating. ``Captain: Plot us a course for Space Dock, as I have no idea where we are. ``Tetra: Oh dear, it is all down to me to get us home, and oh heck! I have no markers to work on, so I will have to calculate a bearing from our moon and our two suns, and then time of qef to get a fix. Let me try that first, and wait to see what comes back. {Algol Space Fleet ~ 2}
``Radio: According to these new set of co-ordinates received from Citadel Space Dock. It will take Eagle 19, well over a qef and a half, which means they will be running short on air to get home, even if someone can find her. ``Fleet: I will call a special meeting, now.

{C001 Cirrus in transit to Eagle 10 ~ 3}
``Farle: These new co-ordinates tell us a different story!` `Dux: They are way off course, and the relief crew will not make it. ``Cavie: They can only make Mach 8. ``Dux: Push our speed up over Mach 10, but do not go anywhere near critical. ``Cavie: Zaa, Dux. ``Farle: Message in from Eagle 19. Having trouble understanding where they are, but they are getting their distress beacon. ``Dux: Tell them we too are puzzled, and copy it to Citadel Space Dock. We are on our way, and you need additional oxygen supplies.

{Space Dock Tower ~ 2}
``Kirin: You cannot go home Captain. I have another message in from Eagle 19 and Dux. They are confused, and Dux is at Mach 10. ``Captain: He is going flat out. ``Kirin: The Eagle cannot cope, as it does not have enough oomph. ``Captain: I will get Tetra on the Visual link. --- Come on Tetra, where are you? --- ``Tetra: Zaa Captain, I was having dinner. ``Captain: I am sorry, but everyone is going crazy on where you have predicted Eagle 10 location. ``Tetra: Get Eagle 19 and Dux to send over their revised estimated co-ordinates and we can do another ALT run in the morning. ``Captain: Zaa. Zimo.

{Algol Space Fleet ~ 2}
``Principal: Fleet, what are your recommendations? ``Fleet: It is serious and it appears that Eagle 10, is way off course and out of range for our relief crew to find her. ``Councillor: What has Cepheus and Cassiopeia to say? ``Fleet: They have been extremely helpful and even if we did find her, we could not get our ship back here for investigation, and burial rituals. ``Principal: In that case, offer the 'salvage rights' to Dux. ``Councillor: I concur, and will officially advise the insurers. ``Fleet: I too concur. Zaffre. Zimo.

{C001 Cirrus In flight to Eagle 10 ~ 3}
``Farle: Dux a message in from Cheb. We have been offered the 'salvage rights'. ``Dux: That is good, but we cannot do it with the Cirrus Mk 1 as they are not compatible, so reply back to Cheb, and we will continue to search. Tell, Eagle 19, to return home otherwise they too will be getting into trouble. ``Farle: Zaa Dux.

(qefs = days --- 5 Units = 5 minutes --- ALT = Altitude)

Tetra: Dreams.
