snip“Helm, as soon as the Captain is on board, pull us away from the pirate base and put some space between us and the carrier - just enough to know what the vector of that Darkness is heading to.”
- Jen, XOgm
The Darkness Octopus was now on a direct course. Their ETA was 6 minutes to the outskirts of the asteroid and another 2 if they were able to draw a straight line course at the same speed to the asteroid which was very unlikely. If they had to maneuver like the Atlantis, it would take 5 more minutes.
A light blinked on the comms console and a channel opened. =^=Atlantis, this is shuttle Timaeus. ETA is 7.5 minutes. Please have the doors open to welcome us home. We’re coming in hot.=^=
Odinson (CIO)
7.5 minutes. Were they dragging the shuttle? =^= Make it 5. By the time you hit the bridge you will have 10 before the bogie is here. =^= His tone was not ‘snappy’ but it did exhibit some impatience at the lack of hustle happening.
Jen rubbed at his chin. The pirates were cutting and running by the look of it. How fast was that thing anyway? “Orb, how fast has the Darkness been noted at going?”
- Jen
OOC: Can we bump us up about 10 minutes and get on board?
OOC: Yes pleaseThe Orb responded. “There have been very few survivors of an encounter with the Darkness. They can surpass the average warship’s warp 5, they have evaded pursuit of the Lorn - suggesting that warp 8 or more is within their abilities. That class of ship has been detected moving at warp 7. That is considered a minimal estimate of its speed.”
Yes, yes, Jen thought, the big bad wolf not leaving any pig survivors so they don’t know how fast it can run or how bad its breath is. Jen was rather fond of that Terran fairy tale, but had always thought the wolf to be smart enough to not go down a chimney, given that it could talk. Warp 8 was fine. Maybe they could stretch its legs.
Sensors detected that the atmosphere bubble was now down and the Pirate ship started thrusting off the asteroid. There was no way possible that they had evacuated all the crew and supplies that were on the base in the amount of time they used.
GM
“Life signs still aboard the pirate base,” he snapped. “Emergency transporters stand by for transport. Security and Marines to each transporter.”
The doors whooshed and the away team had at last arrived from their vacation …
Jen, XOOOC: GM said we could get you back so assume you’ve arrived to the bridge … Gene
OOC: So I know Cara is there on the bridge but I have NO idea what I need to be doing in the sim right now....Jenn
