Episode 1890 - Cepheus 19, P1: Cables, Gaffer, Chela, Minister, Tetra, Vanna, ~ 06 ``Vanna: A mail in from Cepheus. Subject Temple. !!Dear Vanna, We have managed to put the funds together, owing to a change in our committee. This is to have a satellite link up with the other three Algol Temples. Quin, advise when you can install the system. Regards Minister. I will reply. I will be over very shortly, quin send fotos of temple and buildings and co-ordinates of where exactly you are, as no one knows. Regards Vanna. [Ping-Pong-Ping] ``Gaffer: Vanna? ``Vanna: What is wrong? ``Gaffer: The cartel, have bought Cirrus 11. ``Vanna: Nothing new. ``Gaffer: They used the same tactic as they did with a group in Cepheus to buy it on their behalf. They used a different bank, so no one spotted it. ``Vanna: All we can do is to carry on denting them. I have to come over to PQ, as there are a lot more security issues. ``Gaffer: You will find some excuse to earn your bonus. ``Vanna: Absolutely. I have taken Chief over to Camel and have shown him around at no extra charge. ``Gaffer: Excellent. ``Vanna: Have all the passes been updated for Camel? ``Gaffer: I will make sure that Head Guard has done them as well. The Vulcan is good, and two Snake Pilots are taking her up and learning how to fly her, but Mach 18 is no good to get to Camel in a rush. ``Vanna: I can source you a craft, but who is going to fly her? Surely Caput can supply a ship and pilot? ``Gaffer: He was not keen, because of the security risk. ``Vanna: Snake 17 knows about Moon 2, so upgrade them to a larger craft so he can get you to Camel. ``Gaffer: What do you suggest we buy? ``Vanna: I have an idea, if you are willing to go mad and your committee agree to the expense. ``Gaffer: Go on! ``Vanna: Lacerta brought Cirrus 7 brand new, and it has hardly been used. It is a 16 seater, two engine, and we can modify it up for Mach 25. The Vulcan is Mach 18, so just as good. So talk to Boni, and get back to me. ``Gaffer: I will. Zimo. {Cables HQ ~ 2} ``Gov: It is always a pleasure to see you Vanna. ``Vanna: I have another job for you in Cepheus, the same as the last one in Algol. ``Gov: We like the travel. ``Vanna: Get everything ready in stock, and I can fit it in at short notice. ``Gov: Have we been there before? Anyway it is a fresh world for us. ``Vanna: It will only be a day trip. ``Gov: That is okay. We could go tomorrow? ``Vanna: Okay, usual time. Zimo. {Cosmo 3, Citadel to Cepheus ~ 3} - (Next Day) ``Tetra: Candy to Cosmo 3, permission to come aboard. ``Vanna: Confirmed and use central docking over. ``Tetra: Inner docking completed. --- Permesso Capitan? ``Vanna: Granted. ``Tetra: May I quin, come with you on this trip? ``Vanna: Confirmed and take the 4th seat. ``Tetra: Zaa Capitan. ``Chela: Checks completed. Course laid in for Cepheus. ``Vanna: Mach 80K and zoom. ``Chela: ETA 4 hours. ``Vanna: The cartel, have brought Cirrus 11, so track it. ``Tetra: Absolutely. [C3 Mess] ``Chela: Drinks and snack. ``Cables: Zarfs. The food is always good. ``Vanna: We will land at Space Dock and hire a Hopper van. I will need your help in loading. [C3 Bridge] ``Tetra: There are some wispy traces in wake mode. The general direction is Yildun wormhole. ``Vanna: That is anticipated. ``Chela: Deceleration time. Control, have given us SP1, and Hopper van has been ordered. ``Vanna: Locking orbit. Stealth mode on. Ziggy time. {Cepheus Space Dock ~ 4} ``Vanna: Ziggy to space dock dropping down, down. I will sign in and do the paperwork. Start loading up and be careful and it is jam packed. ``Cables: It is still a push getting those drums out.
