[snip]William blinked and looked up from his PaDD almost surprised at the question, for a moment he forgot that he had the Conn “Yes, match their drift and keep the same distance” He said simply.
Time passed. More time passed. A little more… then Glen contacted the Merrimack.
=/\= Glen to Grey. We’ll be returning soon and accompanying the alien ship to their homeworld of Alstair Prime. This will take three and half days at Warp 1. They sent out three sleeper ships to the three different systems that they visited, the same that we have followed them to. These sleeper ships unaccounted for. This seems a little strange given how slow they were travelling. They left eight years ago, so about 1,836 km/hour, not taking acceleration and deceleration in to consideration. Most likely they overshot. Can we start long range scanners to make a search for them while we travel? =/\=
William turned around in the Command chair, nodding to the Science officer on duty =^=Yes, Captain. We’ll set the scanners for the parameters you’ve given us. Will any of the locals be visiting the ship?=^= He asked out of curiosity whilst doing some quick math in his head, 70.000 hours. The speed was mind-numbingly slow for something as vast as space but they were sleeper ships and eight years was a lifetime during the technological time these new aliens.
=/\=Thanks. I actually hadn’t thought of visits to the Merrimack, but we could give them a tour. We’ll have three days to waste time, after all. I can’t see it as being a problem. Please organise a rota. Glen out! =/\=
-Glen, CO
=^=Copy that, I’ll make the necessary preparations, Merrimack out=^= William said cutting the signal. He quickly issued out several orders then contacted Chef to prepare for a banquet.
