Jul 08 19:53:20 <Bynw> ** RECAP ((if you werent here last week feel free to IM me))
Jul 08 19:54:10 <Bynw> Jul 01 22:34:52 <Bynw> *Dyunt looks momentarily confused ... catching up to the conversation other than her own.* "We can't even do a jump back to the frontier right now without the data. It's corrupted and the navcomp is having a hardtime reading it. We need to wipe it and redownload the new data. Or we are gonna be out here for months."
Jul 08 19:54:10 <Bynw> Jul 01 22:34:58 <Ken> ::looks thoughtful:: "A few days I think, right now all I know is that there is at least one extra component in that pad which uses FTL communication in some manner."
Jul 08 19:54:10 <Bynw> Jul 01 22:35:36 * Sathara looks extremely discouraged at Dyunt's comment.  "Oh FRAKKING hell."
Jul 08 19:54:10 <Bynw> Jul 01 22:36:52 <Bynw> "With short 100 AU jumps with a few jumps of several 1000 at a time. But nothing like we can jump at home or out where without the data."
Jul 08 19:54:10 <Bynw> Jul 01 22:37:54 * Ken looks at Raith waiting for his decision
Jul 08 19:54:10 <Bynw> Jul 01 22:38:46 <Raith> ::Thinks for a moment in silence:: "Looks like we don't have a choice. Load it up and lets make the jump. Raise shields and power up the turret before the jump."
Jul 08 19:54:10 <Bynw> Jul 01 22:39:28 * Sathara seems a little less upset and goes to the turret to do a little pre-warm-up checking.
Jul 08 19:54:10 <Bynw> Jul 01 22:39:42 <Ken> ::as he leaves the bridge:: "Aye Cap"
Jul 08 19:54:10 <Bynw> Jul 01 22:40:07 * Ken returns to engineering and reconnects the pad to the ship's systems.
Jul 08 19:54:10 <Bynw> Jul 01 22:40:51 * Ken starts a diagnostic and then disconnects the pad.
Jul 08 19:54:10 <Bynw> Jul 01 22:40:58 <Bynw> (( you have to bring it to the bridge for a direct connection to the navcomp per Dyunt ))
Jul 08 19:54:10 <Bynw> Jul 01 22:41:28 <Ken> ::over comms:: "Cap I bringing it to the bridge, there is a text for you on it."
Jul 08 19:54:10 <Bynw> Jul 01 22:41:41 * Ken runs to the bridge
Jul 08 19:54:10 <Bynw> Jul 01 22:42:00 <Raith> ::Looks to Dyunt in surprise::
Jul 08 19:54:10 <Bynw> Jul 01 22:42:53 <Raith> ::Takes the pad from Kens hand as he bursts onto the tiny bridge and reads it::
Jul 08 19:54:10 <Bynw> Jul 01 22:43:00 * Ken hands the pad over to Raith.
Jul 08 19:54:10 <Bynw> Jul 01 22:43:01 <Bynw> *the following text displayed on it "Please bring to Captain E. Raith"*
Jul 08 19:54:10 <Bynw> Jul 01 22:44:15 <Raith> "How the Frag would the Klade know the initial to my first name..."
Jul 08 19:54:18 <Bynw> ** END OF THE RECAP **
Jul 08 19:56:53 <Bynw> *the message on the pad's screen just displays "Please bring to Captain E. Raith ..." with blinking cursor at the end*
Jul 08 19:57:32 <Raith> ::Touches his thumb to the cursor::
Jul 08 19:58:51 <Raith> ::Looks for an 'enter' button or any button on the pad::
Jul 08 19:58:54 <Bynw> *the screen blinks for a moment with a the message "ident confirmed" and then widens to show Orsi*
Jul 08 19:59:34 * Ken looks over Raith's shoulder and jots some notes on his pad
Jul 08 19:59:40 * Sathara is still in the turret getting it all squared away to warm up.
Jul 08 20:00:44 <Bynw> *Orsi* "Ahh Captain. I'm glad you managed to find my call."
Jul 08 20:03:36 <Bynw> *Orsi* "One more jump and you should be just outside the systems of a small interstellar civilization ... who will probably find your presence disturbing at first but it will all work out."
Jul 08 20:06:40 * Dyunt raises an eyebrow, but remains silent.
Jul 08 20:07:10 * Sathara powers up the turret gun and gets on the comm.  ::over comms::  "Okay, I'm ready whenever you are, Cap'n."
Jul 08 20:07:25 <Bynw> *Orsi blinks* "Are you receiving this transmission Captain?" *you see him touch something just outside and under the viewscreen*
Jul 08 20:07:52 * Ken shrugs and makes a note on his pad
Jul 08 20:09:43 <Bynw> *Orsi* "I won't keep you if you are busy Captain. I know your people like being where you haven't been before but sometimes 2nd place works as well."
Jul 08 20:12:59 <Raith> ::Blinks and looks for a button just under the view screen:: "Umm, yes I am getting this..."
Jul 08 20:15:34 <Bynw> *Orsi* "We thought it best to keep this hidden feature of your datapad from being told about until you got underway. Didn't want the other captains to be envious."
Jul 08 20:16:30 * Ken snorts
Jul 08 20:17:13 <Raith> ::Chuckles:: "ah. Okay, you had us in a bit of a panic for a moment. We detected some odd things about the pad and where a bit worried. Any other surprises that it holds?"
Jul 08 20:17:44 <Bynw> *Orsi* "What odd things? No it doesn't have any other hidden features."
Jul 08 20:20:57 <Raith> "Just that the pad can transmit and receive data."
Jul 08 20:21:23 <Bynw> *Orsi* "Well only yours."
Jul 08 20:22:38 * Dr_Cross arrives at the bridge, heading directly to Ken, asking "Isn't that basically a bug?!"
Jul 08 20:22:45 <Raith> ::Nods and smiles:: "A good feature to have. Can I transmit to you anytime?"
Jul 08 20:23:16 <Bynw> *Orsi* "Yes you can. Just vocally request a comm channel to be opened. It will respond to your voice."
Jul 08 20:23:17 * Dyunt just watches the convo.
Jul 08 20:23:48 <Sathara> ::over comms::  "Hey, what's going on down there?"
Jul 08 20:23:52 * Ken nods at Dr Cross's words
Jul 08 20:25:03 <Raith> ::Taps the intercom:: "Come to the bridge Sathara."
Jul 08 20:25:16 <Sathara> ::over comms:: "Aye, Cap'n."
Jul 08 20:25:38 <Dyunt> "So... want me to prepare for jump, cap?"
Jul 08 20:25:50 <Raith> ::To Orsi:: "Excellent. I'm sure questions will pop up along the way. Is this alien species we are about to meet know about the Klade?"
Jul 08 20:26:06 <Raith> ::Nods yes to Dyunt::
Jul 08 20:26:07 * Sathara appears on the bridge and hears Raith on the comm to Orsi.
Jul 08 20:26:44 * Dyunt takes her seat and starts to make the necessary preparations.
Jul 08 20:26:48 <Raith> ::Tips the pad for a moment so Sathara can catch a glimpse of Orsi::
Jul 08 20:27:03 * Sathara 's eyes widen and for once, she keeps her mouth shut.
Jul 08 20:27:15 <Ken> "Captain, I should be monitoring in engineering."
Jul 08 20:27:23 <Bynw> *Orsi* "No they do not know about us. But they have had past experiences with aliens. Some bad, they maybe a bit xenophobic."
Jul 08 20:29:34 * Ken pulls a connecting cable from his belt and hooks one end to the nav comp
Jul 08 20:30:52 * Dr_Cross whispers to Ken "I feel like we're on the wrong end of a Klade dog-leash, Ken... they can monitor us at will"
Jul 08 20:32:05 * Ken holds the other end and looks at the pad meaningfully
Jul 08 20:33:57 * Ken nods
Jul 08 20:33:57 * Ken wags the cable in suggestive manner...
Jul 08 20:35:01 * Dr_Cross turns to look at Raith's reaction
Jul 08 20:37:59 <Raith> ::Nods to Orsi:: "Right. Well this should be interesting then. We'll let you know how it turns out Orsi."
Jul 08 20:38:20 <Ken> "Captain? I need to hook that back up."
Jul 08 20:38:46 <Bynw> *Orsi* "Look forward to hearing that the Alliance has grown"
Jul 08 20:39:11 <Raith> ::Nods to Ken and then to Orsi:: "Good bye Orsi." ::Hands the pad to Ken::
Jul 08 20:39:45 <Bynw> *the transmission ends*
Jul 08 20:40:26 * Ken connects the pad and then hands the pad to Dyunt before heading to engineering
Jul 08 20:41:03 * Dyunt loads up the data and finalised jump preparations.
Jul 08 20:41:14 * Dr_Cross approaches the Raith "Cap, are you sure we can trust the Klade? That thing literally is a monitoring device for them... we can't turn it off"
Jul 08 20:41:29 * Ken arrives fires up his redundant sensor logs and straps in, he performs his usual diagnostics
Jul 08 20:41:30 <Bynw> *its a simple matter of downloading the data again from the pad into the navcomp. and it's compleated in about 10 minutes time*
Jul 08 20:43:16 <Raith> ::Shrugs at Dr. Cross:: "Do we have any choice Doc?"
Jul 08 20:43:46 <Raith> "Let me put it this way..."
Jul 08 20:45:53 <Raith> "If the Klade wanted us Dead they could've just killed us. No need for a deception. Do I trust them whole heartedly? No. But they haven't given me a reason to distrust them either. Not yet. If they have an hidden agenda then it's not to kill us."
Jul 08 20:46:31 <Sathara> "Cap'n's got a point, Doc, but for what it's worth, I ain't too happy about this either."
Jul 08 20:46:37 * Dr_Cross hurrumps
Jul 08 20:46:55 <Dr_Cross> "Can Ken fiddle with the thing?"
Jul 08 20:47:13 <Dr_Cross> "... so that we control it, not them?"
Jul 08 20:47:34 <Bynw> *navcomp shows its datafiles are restored and it can compute the last leg in the current jump or all new coordinates can be set if desired*
Jul 08 20:48:18 <Raith> ::Smiles and enters in the jump coordinates, talking over his shoulder:: "If you think up an idea about what we can do about the pad, let me know Doc."
Jul 08 20:48:40 * Dr_Cross sighs
Jul 08 20:49:13 <Raith> "If Ken messes that Pad up Doc we are stranded out here in space with a VERY long trip home."
Jul 08 20:50:15 * Dr_Cross is unconvinced but resigned to the inevitable
Jul 08 20:50:19 <Sathara> "Cap'n, are you sure you want to jump?  I know you don't know me that well, but I tell you, my hackles are raised."
Jul 08 20:50:23 <Raith> ::Speaks up so Ken can hear:: "Ken can you promise me beyond a doubt that if you fiddle with that pad you wont screw it up? And that the pad itself isn't trapped or designed to break if you do?"
Jul 08 20:51:43 <Ken> :: Over Comms:: "What was that Captain?"
Jul 08 20:53:25 <Ken> :: Over Comms:: "Something broken? Nothing on my diagnostics"
Jul 08 20:53:32 <Raith> ::Looks to Sathara, his facial expression is hard to read, a mix excitement, fear, and something else:: "Are you kidding? "
Jul 08 20:53:49 <Raith> ::Pushes the comm button:: "Nothing Ken, nevermind."
Jul 08 20:54:00 <Sathara> "Cap'n, do I look like a kidder to you?"
Jul 08 20:55:01 <Sathara> "I can't tell you exactly what's wrong, but something's fishy as the seven hells with this jump."
Jul 08 20:56:06 * Dr_Cross sides with Sathara "Seconded, cap"
Jul 08 20:58:19 <Raith> ::Shakes his head as he finishes up with the nav-comp. He turns his chair around to face the two, incredulous:: "This is what you two signed on for. Make no mistake people we are going to be hanging our ass on the line everyday out here. This is as wild and untamed as it gets. The last frontier. The last great unknown. You two want to scrap it and run back to the Waterloo?"
Jul 08 20:59:44 <Dr_Cross> "I don't want to return to Waterloo but I don't wan't any alien looking over our shoulder, Captain, meaning the compromised datapad"
Jul 08 21:01:00 <Sathara> "I never said anything about returning to Waterloo, but I don't want to end up somewhere outmanned and outgunned either."
Jul 08 21:02:32 <Sathara> "I don't mind exploration and the great unknown, but I'd sure like to live to tell the tale."
Jul 08 21:04:19 <Raith> ::To Dr. Cross:: "So you want Ken to break open our only way to navigate out here, a completely alien piece of tech that we obviously don't understand, and frak around with it? With out that pad we are totally fraked with a capital F. And this sounds like a 'safe' plan to you? Sorry Doc, answer is no. Come up with a better idea."
Jul 08 21:04:30 <Raith> ::To Sathara:: "And you..."
Jul 08 21:06:10 <Raith> "Sathara, don't know if you got it yet but we are always going to be out gunned and out manned out here. Always. THAT is the fun part. You scared?" ::Smiles mischeviously::
Jul 08 21:06:43 <Raith> "Either of you really think about what signing onto this mission really meant?"
Jul 08 21:07:45 <Raith> "Time to man up people. We take chances. We are on the ragged edge out here and back-up isn't coming."
Jul 08 21:07:53 <Sathara> "All right, Cap'n, you've made your point with me.  I'm just telling you, something smells about this frakking jump."
Jul 08 21:09:49 <Raith> ::Nods, a bit more serious:: "I think your right Sathara. And I'm glad you said so, I want a crew that speaks it's mind. Problem is, I don't see a choice. So...let's go get ourselves in some trouble." ::Smiles again::
Jul 08 21:10:25 <Sathara> "Okay, Cap'n.  I'm headed back up to that turret gun in case we need it, unless you need me here."
Jul 08 21:10:50 * Dr_Cross pipes in "I was just simply stating the *obvious*, captain"
Jul 08 21:11:03 <Dr_Cross> "... the obvious dangers, I mean"
Jul 08 21:11:49 <Raith> "Noted Doc. Sathara, jump us."
Jul 08 21:12:06 <Sathara> "Me?!?  I'm not the pilot."
Jul 08 21:13:12 <Raith> ::Shakes his head:: "Damn Whiskey..."
Jul 08 21:13:37 <Raith> "Dyunt. if you would. Sathara, the turrent please."
Jul 08 21:13:54 <Sathara> "Aye, Cap'n."  ::disappears up to the turret.
Jul 08 21:13:56 <Sathara> ::
Jul 08 21:14:07 * Dyunt engages the jump.
Jul 08 21:14:32 <Bynw> *roll 4df
Jul 08 21:14:35 <The_Powers_That_Be> Bynw: Good <1> (-1, 1, 1, 0) [4df]
Jul 08 21:15:20 <Bynw> *the Lady Luck emerges from her jump. Just outside of a small 6 planet system.
Jul 08 21:17:24 <Bynw> *DRADIS shows several unknown contacts but they seem to be stationary some 150km away closer to the system. Other scans show the the system is mostly gas giants with moons. And one terrestial world.
Jul 08 21:18:18 * Ken notes DRADIS contacts and runs an em frequency scan on the area
Jul 08 21:20:12 <Ken> :: over comms:: "Those objects are satillites of some sort Captain, they are scanning us."
Jul 08 21:21:09 <Raith> "Dyunt hold our position, but be ready to move if they take hostile action."
Jul 08 21:22:09 * Ken turns active scanning off and just passivley scans for spikes in energy output.
Jul 08 21:22:33 <Bynw> *across several comm channel frequencies comes a transmission ... in an alien language that the ship's phonic detector is not making any heads or tails of*
Jul 08 21:23:58 <Ken> :: Over comms:: "Try that pad to see if it has a translator"
Jul 08 21:24:46 <Raith> ::Unhooks the pad from the Nav-comp and plugs it into the comm console::
Jul 08 21:25:23 * Ken mutters under his breath "hopefully Klade like em"
Jul 08 21:27:54 <Bynw> *the transmission repeats itself*
Jul 08 21:29:52 <Raith> ::touches the data pads screen hoping something will light up::
Jul 08 21:30:09 <Bynw> *DRADIS signals a new contact just as a ship ripples into existence infront of the Lady Luck. The new ship, has the silouette reminisent of a large hunting bird
Jul 08 21:30:37 * Sathara trains the turret gun on the new ship, just in case.
Jul 08 21:31:11 <Bynw> *the ships roughly the same size as the Lady Luck, with 2 large looking railguns poking out like the talons of the bird
Jul 08 21:31:30 * Dr_Cross rushes to his station, the medbay
Jul 08 21:32:08 * Ken routes more power to shields from non-essential systems
Jul 08 21:32:25 <Raith> ::Opens a comm channel to the new ship:: "We represent the Alliance. We are having problems translating your language. We are peaceful."
Jul 08 21:36:02 <Ken> :: over comms:: "That ship is directly scanning Captain."
Jul 08 21:36:13 <Raith> "Dammit. Where is the sync button or whatever!?" ::Slaps the intercomm on:: "Ken get up here to the bridge on the double. We need the Klade pad to translate for us!"
Jul 08 21:36:35 <Ken> :: over comms:: "on my way sir, should I attempt to block the scan?"
Jul 08 21:37:01 <Raith> "No. Just get up here and work this pad."
Jul 08 21:37:15 * Ken leaves for the bridge at a dead run.
Jul 08 21:37:37 <Bynw> *from the alien ship* "Lower your defenses"
Jul 08 21:38:24 <Bynw> *the words are there, heavily accented but accurate as for as language is concerned*
Jul 08 21:38:32 * Ken arrives at the bridge and takes the pad from Raith
Jul 08 21:38:57 <Ken> "Appears to be working now."
Jul 08 21:39:56 * Ken mutters "voice activation and DNA recognition..."
Jul 08 21:40:28 <Sathara> ::over comms:: "Any orders, Cap'n?"
Jul 08 21:40:33 * Ken muttters "not running anything visibly.."
Jul 08 21:41:28 <Raith> ::Sighs in relief:: "Sorry Ken, looks like we are good up here, get back to engineering for me."
Jul 08 21:41:47 * Ken hands the pad back and heads back to engineering
Jul 08 21:41:58 <Raith> ::Over the intercomm:: "Power down the turrent for now Sathara."
Jul 08 21:42:28 * Sathara takes a deep breath.  "Aye, Cap'n.  Do you want me to stay here or return to the bridge?"
Jul 08 21:42:49 <Raith> ::Intercomm:: "Stay there for now."
Jul 08 21:42:54 * Sathara powers down the weapon system but is more than ready to stay put.
Jul 08 21:42:58 * Ken straps himself back in and opens the comm, leaving it open
Jul 08 21:43:04 <Bynw> *the alien ship's weapons are pointed straight down the turrent's barrels*
Jul 08 21:43:34 * Dr_Cross ::over comms:: "We'll be sitting ducks without the shields"
Jul 08 21:44:12 <Raith> ::Hesitates for a moment, then lowers the shields::
Jul 08 21:44:38 * Ken runs an active scan on the weapons of the alien ship and then on the power sources attempting to locate weak points
Jul 08 21:44:53 <Raith> ::Over the comm:: "We are peaceful. We only wish to meet with you."
Jul 08 21:45:49 <Bynw> *alien ship* "lower your shields and we will meet"
Jul 08 21:48:31 <Bynw> *alien ship* "You will goto the 2nd moon of the 5th world and land there. You will travel at whatever speed it takes to reach the moon in 1 hour"
Jul 08 21:49:00 * Ken runs a quick claculation to see if any boost is required to ship's speed
Jul 08 21:49:01 * papaganoush (~papaganoush@OWIRCN-8ec41ed5.abhsia.telus.net) has joined #teara-adan
Jul 08 21:50:21 * Ken sends a text to Raith's screen "Easy trip"
Jul 08 21:50:41 <Raith> ::Nods to Dyunt:: "Take us out. Let's take our time. I don't want them to know how fast we can go. Get us there in just under an hour."
Jul 08 21:51:11 <Bynw> *the alien ship engages its thrusters and banks hard to starboard and goes over the Lady Luck (as this moon is behind them) and shimmers and vanishes from sight and DRADIS*
Jul 08 21:51:48 <Raith> "Neat trick."
Jul 08 21:52:03 * Ken mutters "Damn, sure would like that tech."
Jul 08 21:52:41 * Sathara heaves a sigh of relief but stays put in the turrent.
Jul 08 21:57:43 <Bynw> *the Lady Luck arrives at the moon after 52 minutes of easy travel into the system, the moon is habitable, barely ... its cold and dark but its habitable. there is a landing field on its surface. the alien ship is there.
Jul 08 21:58:41 <Raith> "Dyunt take us in. Land us facing the other ship."
Jul 08 21:59:48 <Raith> ::Over the intercom:: "Okay everyone, report to the weapons locker before we debark and arm yourselves. Small arms only."
Jul 08 22:00:16 <Raith> ::To Dyunt:: "Stay here and keep the engines ready to roll."
Jul 08 22:00:21 * Sathara gladly goes to her locker and straps on her pistol and knives.
Jul 08 22:00:31 <Bynw> *The lady luck touches down and 63 minutes have past*
Jul 08 22:00:31 * Ken unstraps and heads for the weapons locker
Jul 08 22:00:39 <Raith> ::Gets up and meets the others at the weapons locker::
Jul 08 22:01:27 <Raith> "No one makes a move until I do." ::his gaze lingers on Sathara for a moment:: "And I mean no one. Everyone got that?"
Jul 08 22:01:53 <Sathara> "Aye, Cap'n.  I can draw fast if I have to."
Jul 08 22:01:54 <Ken> "aye Cap'n"
Jul 08 22:02:22 * Dr_Cross dons a beam handgun and a bandoleer containing small canisters
Jul 08 22:02:28 <Dr_Cross> "Aye, Cap"
Jul 08 22:03:44 * Ken runs a scan on the moon for any hazards, radiation, atmospehre or lack thereof. etc
Jul 08 22:04:11 * Ken straps on his pistol just under his tool belt
Jul 08 22:04:46 <Bynw> *cold, twilight conditions, breathable atmosphere*
Jul 08 22:05:39 * Sathara grabs a jacket and her personal shield generator and straps the shield generator to her back, just above her rear end and covers it with the jacket.
Jul 08 22:05:54 <Ken> "atmo is breathable Cap'n"
Jul 08 22:06:09 * Dr_Cross approaches Raith "Cap, I made a couple of home-made bombs... if the need arises"
Jul 08 22:07:35 * Ken straps his knife to his tool belt
Jul 08 22:09:12 <Raith> ::Looks at the Doctor in abject surprise:: "Doc your awfully ornery for a pacifist." ::chuckles and double checks his pistol::
Jul 08 22:10:08 <Dr_Cross> "They're not Lethal, Cap, but useful" *winks
Jul 08 22:11:37 <Raith> "Alright, lets go make some friends." ::Walks to the airlock and lowers the ramp, then walks to the bottom and steps to the side to allow the others to do the same. Looks about::
Jul 08 22:12:22 <Bynw> *the moon is cold, dark ... there are sounds of machines in the distance ... hammering ... the ramp to the alien ship lowers
Jul 08 22:13:10 * Sathara shivers.  "Damn, Cap'n, glad I brought my jacket."
Jul 08 22:13:32 <Bynw> *5 individuals emerge from the alien ship ... all slightly over 6 feet tall they are wearing heavy hooded cloaks and they motion you toward them
Jul 08 22:14:02 <Sathara> *roll 4df for Danger Sense (again)
Jul 08 22:14:06 <The_Powers_That_Be> Sathara: Mediocre <-1> (-1, 0, -1, 1) [4df] -  for Danger Sense (again)
Jul 08 22:15:02 <Raith> ::Walks toward them slowly, then stops about 5 yards from them and hooks his thumbs in his gun belt:: "Don't suppose you can understand me?"
Jul 08 22:15:17 * Sathara shivers again and stays just behind Raith and to his right.
Jul 08 22:15:19 <Bynw> ? how is Raith dressed ?
