She found the port thrust manifold was indeed misaligned. It looked like the bracket that held the manifold in place was warped, and whoever had installed it had forced it in. This had pushed the manifold out of its proper position. Unless she could correct the problem, fuel would not be able to feed the injectors for the port thrusters.

JT looked used his console and took the ship out. Once they were clear of the Memorial’s airspace JT plotted the course and punched it to high warp. =/\= Computer, ETA to destination? =/\=

JT

The Angel accelerated smoothly to warp six. The computer chirped as it crunched the numbers, and one of the multi-function displays changed to show the results as it responded.
=/\= At present speed you should arrive at your destination in fourteen hours, thirty-one minutes, and 1 second. =/\=
The screen showed that the Resolution was 0.65 lightyears away and that one of the smaller ion storms stood directly in their flight path. If they wanted to go around it, it would add at least an hour to their journey.

“Well kids, looks like we’ve got about 14 and a half hours to kill before we reach the Rez. Thats IF we go through the ion storm ahead. I can handle it, but if you all would rather go around it will add an hour to the trip. ” JT stated to those behind him, though ultimately it was up to BJ to make the call as mission leader.

Danora set to work on the problem. With any luck, the bracket would be easy to remove. Unbending it and replacing it was the issue. If she couldn’t unbend it herself, she would have to ask for help from one of the guys. Even she had limits to her strength. She was overly cautious in making sure that as she removed the bracket, making sure the manifold remained propped up using whatever was necessary.

((your choice if bracket is straightened and I can get it back in… figuring at least a 2 to 3 hour job))

OOC: Inserting a little timeskip here, but with a break in between for any conversation that happens before the later timeframe! I am very sorry for my AWOL, just had a bit of a rough patch with work but I’m back now and it shouldn’t happen again.

IC: =^=Estimated time to arrival: 47 minutes,=^= the computer later updated them some time later. The Flying Angel had kept up a quick pace, but, by now the runabout was piloting through low grade ion storms. Instead of interference through some of their long-range sensors, from within the storm almost all sensor readings were scrambled - all long-range, certainly, and their short-range scanners, subspace radio transceivers, and targeting system were only partially operable.

The storm also made for a bumpy ride, though the ship only had one rougher patch of the storm to get through before there was a clearing to the Tyche system. An alert popped up a main panel, however, warning of a distress signal from dead ahead of them. It was too scrambled to make out any video or audio, but, the signal was clearly from the Resolution.

JT saw the alert and called out the BJ “Commander, receiving a distress signal. Its unintelligible but it is the Resolution”

JT

BJ knew that if the signal was that bad they needed to make good time. “Head to the Resolution at maximum speed. Something is clearly wrong over there.” He then turned to the rest of the shuttle crew. “Okay, we don’t know what we’re gong to face. We’re going in the traditional diamond formation. I’ll take lead with security lead taking point.”

Janzen

“Aye Sir” JT replied as he plotted the final leg of their trip and took some pre arrival scans.
