Episode 1198 - The Sextant: Albi, Nacra, Riss, Selina, Sheriff, Selina, Vanna, ~ 07 ``Tetra: We have gone passed the small star and we are heading north over the top. I am now on scroll-graph paper as we are running blind in Space. ``Albi: Not again! ``Vanna: He is trying to joke with you! ``Tetra: Very droll. ``Vanna: Just keep going and do a forward scan. ``Tetra: Zaa. ``Vanna: Fuel status? ``Tetra: Half empty. ``Albi: I would have said 'half full'. ``Tetra: It depends whether you are an optimists or a pessimist. ``Albi: Hah ha. ``Vanna: That is enough you two, as you are on Duty. ``Tetra: There is a cloudy looking patch to port, so I suggest we alter course? ``Vanna Approved. ``Tetra: ETA is 1 hour. ``Vanna: Albi, keep doing scans every 10 units. ``Tetra: Whatever it is, it is big. I just had a thought! Do you remember that cargo ship? ``Vanna: Zaa, I do. ``Tetra: They were heading to Ursa Minor. ``Vanna: At least with Cosmo, we have the power to find it. ``Albi: Reducing long range scanners. ``Tetra: It is as big as Cepheus Void. I have to change scroll-graph roll. --- We are creeping up on it. ``Vanna: Computer prediction. ``Tetra: It is SW to NE. ``Vanna: Alter course to south end. ``Tetra: Course changed. We have it. I will bring her around on auto. ``Vanna: Albi: Keep scanning every 5 units. Wide angle mode on forward camera. ``Tetra: We are too high. ``Vanna: Okay, tilting down. Where is the sextant? [Intercom] Mum, find the Sextant quin. ``Tetra: We still need to go west. Updating graph prediction. -|-``Selina: Here you are. ``Vanna: Zarfs and go and watch the smart screen it is big. Albi, do scans every 2 units, and snap shot the forward camera. ``Tetra: We have made it, and it is as big as Cepheus Void. ``Vanna: Line us up to get the co-ordinates correct, but QAA we are not going through it this qef, as we are out of range. Mach Zero. ``Tetra: I will change the scroll-graph roll again. --- ``Vanna: I will go and ask mum to get the munchies on. --- Tetra, whilst we are slowing down, I can use the sextant for checks. ``Albi: Show me how to do it! ``Tetra: Okay. --- ``Vanna: As soon as we can come to a Hover. Get the computer to analyse a prediction of where we are. ``Tetra: It will take a while, so we will all have a break in the Mess. [Cosmo Mess] ``Selina: 30 units before we can eat. ``Riss: Well? ``Tetra: We have found it. ``Nacre: Let us go through it? ``Tetra: The computers have to be updated first, as we do not know where we are. ``Riss Spoil sports. ``Vanna: That is the excitement for this qef, the unknown. ``Riss: What a shame, and I will complain to the management. ``Sheriff: We should go through it! ``Vanna: We could run out of fuel at the other end, but there is one surprise for you! ``Sheriff: No excitement! ``Riss: Go on! ``Vanna: We are having a Pit stop at Planet-Q. ``Nacre: That will do as a compromise. ``Selina: Serving up and you two cats can help. [Cosmo Bridge] ``Vanna: Send a mail to Gaffer. Found wormhole, coming in for pit stop and data exchange. ``Tetra: How can we, if we are out of co-ordinates range? ``Vanna: Oh heck! Try a visual and send regardless north, south east and west. ``Tetra: Nothing, but what about down? ``Vanna: If should have sensed something. ``Tetra: It has predicted that we are in horizontal alignment between Auriga and Polaris, and vertical between Cassiopeia and North Star or Ursa Minor. ``Vanna: Well, I think that is pretty good. So lay in a course for Planet-Q and see what happens. ``Tetra: Zaa. --- Cannot compute. I suggest we go south towards that tiny planet, until we can pick up last known co-ordinates and go from there. ``Tetra: Zaa. ``Vanna: Make it happen. ``Albi: So the Sextant is not accurate enough? ``Vanna: It has always only been a guide, and a pointer in the correct direction, which is what is happening now, so give up or I will relief you of Duty. ``Albi: Sorry Captain. < Previous Page 1197 Algol <15.3.8> Warm [08 ] 1091 <1087> 00/162] Next Page 1199> |
