[21:01] <bynw> ***** BEGIN RECAP *****
[21:01] <bynw> [21:26] <DrCross> "Cap, i should ready my patient for transport. Maybe the Klade's more complete (I think) medical facilities can help her"
[21:01] <bynw> [21:26] <Raith> ::Suit to suit comm to Jaeih:: "Have you met the Klade yet?"
[21:01] <bynw> [21:26] <Raith> ::Nods to Dr. Cross::
[21:01] <bynw> [21:26] <bynw> *Jaeih* "Never heard of them other than your discussions of them."
[21:01] <bynw> [21:27] <Raith> ::Nods:: "They're odd...and fierce. Becareful."
[21:01] <bynw> [21:28] * DrCross returns to his medbay, preparing his patient in stasis for transport
[21:01] <bynw> [21:29] <bynw> *the bridge panels indicate that there is an atmosphere outside of the ship now in the klade docking bay
[21:01] <bynw> [21:30] <Raith> ::Takes off his helmet::
[21:01] <bynw> [21:30] * Ken unseals his helmet
[21:01] <bynw> [21:30] <Raith> "Sensors indicate an atmosphere outsode the ship."
[21:01] <bynw> [21:30] <bynw> *Jaeih quickly removes her's as well* "Can I get out of this thing now?"
[21:01] <bynw> [21:31] * Sathara takes off her helmet and fidgets with it.
[21:01] <bynw> [21:31] <Raith> "Let's get out of our suits and meet the Klade. Grab any essentials on your way out."
[21:01] <bynw> [21:31] * Ken heads to his quarters and grabs his pad with his notes
[21:01] <bynw> [21:32] * Sathara takes off her suit and grabs a bag from her room with her personal clothing and general stuff, and then opens the storage locker that holds her weapons and bags them up in a spare duffel.
[21:01] <bynw> [21:33] * Ken takes off his suit and grabs his bag of tools and stuffs his various notes and as an afterthoughthis toiletries.
[21:01] <bynw> [21:36] * DrCross packs his personal stuff and wheels out his patient's stasis chamber
[21:01] <bynw> [21:38] * Ken heads for the airlock with his bag
[21:01] <bynw> [21:38] <Raith> ::Gets out of his vac-suit, straps on his gunbelt, holsters his energy pistol, and grabs his lucky jacket on the way out::
[21:01] <bynw> ***** END OF RECAP *****
[21:06] <bynw> *Orsi is waiting at the bottom of the ramp of the Lady Luck*
[21:06] * Sathara stands at the airlock, clothing duffel in one hand and weapons duffel in the other, behind and slightly to the left of Raith.
[21:06] <Raith> ::Sighs with one last look around his quarters. He runs his finger along the wall as he leaves:: "Good by girl, hell of a time we had."
[21:06] * Ken waits with his bag behind Sathara
[21:08] <Raith> ::grabs what is left of the Khelliannsu liquor from the galley and heads out into the Klade docking bay, bottle in hand::
[21:08] <Raith> "Let's go gang."
[21:08] <Sathara> "Aye, Cap'n."  ::follows Raith down the gangplank::
[21:08] * Ken follows looking around at the Klade ship as always
[21:09] <bynw> *Jaeih follows down quietly*
[21:10] <Raith> ::Looks about::
[21:11] <Raith> ??Any of those drones in here with us??
[21:12] <bynw> *Orsi is the only one in the hanger he was looking up at your ship when you came down the ramp. The hanger does have several dozen drone fighters* "Welcomes aboard Raith"
[21:13] * Ken looks at the drones with some interest and wanders closer
[21:14] <bynw> *the drone fighters are class 1 starfighters - several of them are in various states of repair. they are triangular in shape*
[21:15] <Raith> ::Hooks his left thumb into his gunbelt and raises the bottle of Khelliannsu liquor towards Orsi:: "Well I think the ship is toast, but it's not a complete loss, we managed to save the liquor!"
[21:16] <Ken> ::looks back over his shoulder:: "The Lady is salvage now.."
[21:16] * Sathara stifles a snicker.
[21:16] <bynw> *Orsi cracks a grin* "Good we can drink to its history. Because from out here, this ship is scrap."
[21:17] <Sathara> "It's been a helluva ride, that's for sure."
[21:18] <Ken> "Orsi, what is your control range on these?"
[21:18] <Raith> ::Nods a bit solemnly and lowers the bottle to his side. His voice soft and a bit reverent:: "Yep."
[21:19] <bynw> *over head the harsh metalic computer voice speaks over the comms about various ship systems and operations states*
[21:20] <Raith> ::Takes one last look over his shoulder at the Lady Luck, then back to Orsi:: "Orsi, I'd like to introduce you to...uh, well I guess..." ::looks to Jaeih and smiles warmly:: "My daughter." ::Looks back to Orsi::
[21:20] <bynw> *Orsi* "From your last position I could order the launch of all 150 fighters to rain down fire on Aris.*
[21:21] <Sathara> ::sotto voce:: "Holy frak."
[21:23] <Ken> "Subspace control?"
[21:23] <bynw> *Orsi looks at Jaeih* "I see" *Orsi switches away from the Alliance standard language and speaks to Jaeih who's face shows a bit of shock and awe*
[21:24] <bynw> *she answers him with a smile*
[21:24] <Raith> ::Doesn't look surprised in the least at Orsi's use of Khelliannsu native language::
[21:25] <Raith> ::To Orsi:: "Did you know when you sent me?"
[21:26] <bynw> *Orsi back to Ken* "You already are aware that our hyper-light communication abilities. It shouldnt surprise you that we can use it to control our fighters."
[21:26] <bynw> "I did not know about her Raith. I suspected only." *Orsi says*
[21:27] <Ken> "Just confirming"
[21:27] <Raith> "And did you know the other Raith, or of him?"
[21:27] <Raith> ::Looks a bit suspicious at Orsi::
[21:28] <bynw> *Orsi* "Yes. That is why we halted the attack on the Alliance so quickly when it was you that was sent to investigate."
[21:29] <Raith> "Sounds like we have some talking to do, and some drinking."
[21:30] <Raith> ::To Dr. Cross:: "Doc get your patient to the Klade infirmary and see what you can do."
[21:31] <Ken> "Orsi, do you mind if I look at the hyper-light technology and protocols?"
[21:31] <Raith> ::Chuckles at ken::
[21:32] <bynw> *Orsi* "I will have someone escort you there Dr Cross."
[21:32] <bynw> "Yes I do at this time. It is not necessary for the Alliance yet. All of our technology will be yours someday."
[21:33] * Ken looks diaappointed
[21:34] <Ken> "May I look at your jump drive technology and mapping protocols?"
[21:36] <bynw> "Most certainly. As you have been using a poorly reversed engineered design. There have been a couple of accidents within Alliance space over the last few days as well. All ships have been grounded until we can have them upgraded." *Orsi says as he leads the rest of the crew out of the hangers and into some quarters. The whole ship appears to be nearly deserted. Most of the corridors are darkened. And the computerized voice can be heard
[21:36] <bynw> in low volumes overhead*
[21:37] * Ken looks around
[21:37] <Ken> "Is the ship controlled mostly by AI?"
[21:37] <Raith> ::Follows Orsi:: "Where is everyone?"
[21:39] <bynw> *Orsi* "Yes Ken. The ship is under the control of its central computer core. There are only a crew of 5 aboard."
[21:40] <Raith> "Is that typical of a Klade ship?"
[21:42] <bynw> *Orsi* "More or less. We have such a small population in order to fully man a ship of this size would take nearly a couple 1000 of men. it is better to automate it."
[21:43] <Raith> "Your not afraid of someone hacking the cebtral computer?
[21:43] <Raith> "
[21:44] <Ken> "What is your interface? Direct neural contact, telepathic? Verbal?"
[21:44] <bynw> "It is not possible." *Orsi says as he opens the doors to the main living area*
[21:45] <Sathara> "This ship is huge.  You can run it with five guys?!"
[21:46] <bynw> *Orsi* "A mix of methods Ken. Yes we run it with only 5 of us aboard. All major systems are fully automated."
[21:47] <Raith> ::Looks doubtful as to Orsi's statement of impossible:: "Impossible just means you don't know how."
[21:48] <Raith> "I'm in the business of doing what others call impossible."
[21:48] <bynw> *Orsi takes a seat* "In all of our history. It has been tried countless number of times and all have failed."
[21:48] * Ken stops briefly and looks around his eyes slightly unfocused.
[21:49] <bynw> *it appears to be a common room ... lounge area with several chairs, tables and door leading to quarters*
[21:50] <Ken> !df 5 Telemechanics
[21:50] <ChanServ> Result: ( )(-)(+)( )(+)
[21:51] <Raith> ::Smiles:: "You access it right?" ::takes a seat and places the liquor bottle on the table gently::
[21:52] <bynw> "Yes I 'access' it." *Orsi says watching Ken*
[21:53] <Ken> ?me looks at Orsi
[21:53] <Raith> ::Takes on a mischievous look:: "Then it can be done."
[21:53] * Ken looks at Orsi
[21:54] <Raith> "Impossible is a relative term."
[21:55] * Sathara takes a seat quietly.
[21:55] <Raith> "The Alliance would say it's impossible to do what Klade tech does."
[21:55] <bynw> *Orsi nodes at Raith* "If you manage to do so Raith. Then you will be the first to do so in many ages across the whole of Creation."
[21:55] <Raith> ::Chuckles:: "I wouldn't try, sounds too boring."
[21:56] <Raith> ::Slides the bottle across the table towards Orsi:: "Sorry, forgot the cups."
[21:57] * Ken moves around the lounge.
[21:57] <bynw> *Orsi is directing his attention more towards Raith* "It has not ever been done. We do not believe it to be possible. Margins of error may be present but they are negligable at best and therefore cannot occur."
[21:58] <bynw> *Orsi* "Cups are not necessary if you just want to pass the bottle around."
[21:59] * Ken sits down
[21:59] * Ken looks at Orsi with a thoughtful expression
[22:00] <bynw> *Orsi passed the bottle to Ken* "Do you want a drink?"
[22:00] <Raith> ::Nods to Orsi to start:: "Orsi, I'm in the business of doing the impossible and I'm telling you your statistics don't mean frak to me. It can be done, it's just a matter of how, not if."
[22:01] <Ken> "Yes, I seem to have a headache."
[22:01] <Ken> "I was close to the explosion afterall."
[22:02] * Ken takes a small sip
[22:02] * Sathara grins at Ken.  "Ken, mind passing that along?"
[22:03] * Ken passes the bottle to Sathara
[22:04] * Sathara takes a healthy swig and passes the bottle to Raith.
[22:05] * Ken takes out his pad from his belt and makes some notes
[22:05] <Raith> ::Waves off the discussion:: "it's academic and really not good drinking conversation though."
[22:05] <Sathara> "So, Orsi, sir, are you taking us back to Alliance space?"
[22:05] <Raith> ::Takes the bottle, uncorks it, throws the cork over his shoulder and takes a healthy swig::
[22:07] <bynw> *Orsi takes a swig when the bottle comes around to him* "Yes we are taking you back. Don't want to have you jump in that ship and risk another engine failure"
[22:08] * Sathara shudders.  "Gods above and below, no."
[22:09] <Sathara> "How long will it be until we're back in Alliance space?"
[22:09] <bynw> *Orsi* "One jump. However long you wish it to take though."
[22:10] <Sathara> "Well, that's more up to the Cap'n and the pilot than a lowly weapons expert."  ::grins and takes another swig of the blue ale::
[22:11] <Raith> ::Nods:: "What do you know about the other Raith?"
[22:11] * Ken has another small sip as the botlle passes by.
[22:13] <bynw> *Orsi* "When you jumped pass the frontier on your trip out. And then discovered the communications circuit in the pad. I was about to ask you how it felt to be the 2nd human out that far."
[22:14] <Raith> ::Takes the bottle and up ends it, only a few drops are left and they drip down his throat. He looks disappointedly at the bottle then dubiously at his crew. He sets the bottle down and looks expectantly at Orsi::
[22:18] <bynw> *Orsi* "The other Raith was a brilliant pilot. And had a host of other useful skills. Our first contact once your civilization finally started to explore the stars. We upgraded his ship so he could explore the local region of space that would one day become Alliance space."
[22:21] <bynw> "He made first contact with the Khelliannsu. And stayed out in that area of space for over 40 years before jumping back to the Alliance frontier as it was expanding."
[22:21] <Raith> "Did the Alliance know about all this?"
[22:22] <bynw> "Not at all. They 'discovered' us a decade ago. The other Raith asked us to wipe all knowledge of his existence from Alliance records. So we did."
[22:22] <Raith> ::slyly pushes the empty bottle a few inches towards Orsi and makes a point of glancing at it::
[22:23] <Raith> "Hmph, sounds like me."
[22:24] <Raith> "You keep tabs on him after that?"
[22:27] <bynw> *Orsi* "The clone of the other Raith is not an exact copy. There are differences between the two Raiths. Enough to produce a father/son relationship rather than just a copy relationship. No we did not keep tabs. After the cloning he jumped beyond the redline of his ship and we haven't seen or heard from him sense."
