Episode 0701 - The Borders: Leila, Qualla, Riss, Nacra, Scotty, Tetra, Vanna, Yanan, Zola, ~ 09 ``Tetra: It was not Deneb, as we could never had make it there in 8-hours. However we have found a void and where does it go? We do not know yet, as we were at the side of it, and it was too huge to find away to go through it. We will have to find the two ends of it, but we first have to plot the co-ordinates. It appears to be pointing towards Lacerta, but there are 4 other major stars in its path. The bordering constellations are, Andromeda, Cassiopeia, Cepheus, Cygnus and Pegasus. The other end appears to be pointing towards Polaris Star, but these are all longer trips. I have updated Navia, and I am waiting for their feedback as they are re-compiling their data, and it will be interesting to see what they have to say. ``Vanna: I have received a mail from Cables HQ, saying they found a faulty component, and is waiting for spares to arrive from Cepheus. ``Leila: It seems ironic that all these and others parts come from there, but we do not have a regular passenger service, either way. ``Vanna: I hope we can fill that gap. ``Dobra: How do they get here? ``Leila: It comes by a small robotic goods ship, but it still takes over 2 qefs to get here. ``Vanna: Is the old satellite still moving? ``Tetra: Zaa, it will take another qef yet before we know more. ``Zola: So are we having a rest for a few qefs, after our sortie? So next meeting is when it reaches stationary orbit. ``Leila: What are we going to nick-name this old satellite? ``Tetra: I will have a think. ``Vanna: The S152a will be in tomorrow from Space Cavern, and we have all been invited to Space Dock to have a look at the improvements, after 11th time. ``Tetra: I am going. ``Leila: I too will go. ``Zola: Where are we going to meet? ``Vanna: Come over here for 11th time. ``Zola: Zaa. (Yanan's Place ~ 2} ``Qualla: What did you think of the sortie? ``Yanan: We will have to go back and find the exit/entry portal, but it is all uncharted and Tetra is having it all updated. ``Qualla: So if you find it, will you go through? ``Yanan: I think so. ``Qualla: I think I will wait until you have actually found it. ``Yanan: That void is vast, and it could easily be a 1,000 Km wide, and 10,000 Km long. ``Qualla: So it is bigger than Algol? ``Yanan: Oh zaa, twice the size, probably because there are 5 constellations surrounding it. Actually we may have to go into each individual constellation, so we can map the co-ordinates. In fact I will mail Tetra now, with my thoughts. ``Qualla: Certus, and are we going out? ``Yanan: Zaa, we will have some lunch and go and see my mum. ``Qualla: That is unusual for you to come out with it first. ``Yanan: Most of the old problems have now been resolved, so I can relax more. ``Qualla: So you have been living on nerves? ``Yanan: Maybe, but we now have transparency. ``Qualla: Let us go to Aqueduct Restaurant. ``Yanan: Sent. Certus. Come on!. {Path Restaurant ~ 2} ``Riss: I hope you do not mind meeting here? ``Nacra: Not at all, actually I prefer it as we are out of the way of the others. ``Riss: That was my reasoning behind it. So how was it? ``Nacra: It is a long flight, non stop, for 16-hours, especially if you are not used to it. Therefore you will have a similar problem as it is likely be a 20-hour sortie. ``Riss: Was everyone friendly? ``Nacra: Oh zaa, but there are still quiet periods when you are on your own, although you will have Kirin in his breaks. So you need to take an interesting book. ``Riss: How long before the next sortie? ``Nacra: 4 wesks, unless they can get the updates back, but you would not want to do them that regularly, unless you were going to land out somewhere. ``Riss: I am still keeping quiet about Earth, and I hear there may be a trip in the next wesk, but I will not be on it. ``Nacra: Nor me, but the latest rumour is that they are going to Cepheus. ``Riss: In that case, I want to be on it. ``Nacra: I too would like to go. ``Riss: It would be more friendly if we were both on the same, trip. ``Nacra: I will mail Vanna asking her about a possible trip to Cepheus, and can Riss and I, come together, quin. ``Riss: Agreed.
