Episode 0896 - The Pulling Snags: Albi, Dalbir, Master, Nacra, Pilot, Tetra, Vanna, ~ 07 ``Albi: Hatches secured. ``Tetra: Course laid for in Planet-Q'. ``Master: Unlocking orbit. Zoom Vanna, Mach 36. ``Vanna: Confirmed. ``Master: Auto pilot on, and I do need a drink. [Cosmo Mess] ``Vanna: Zaffre for coming at short notice. ``Master: It is one of those things, and I am running courses on aviation law, so I have given them a break for a few qefs, so I can fit you in. ``Vanna: It is appreciated. ``Nacra: It seems strange that you are here with me, on this trip! ``Dalbir: I hope we can repeat it. ``Nacra: There is a good chance of that. ``Dalbir: So shall we both go on the Deneb trip? ``Nacra: Zaa, and that should be an interesting and a unique one. ``Dalbir: Okay, and we can use the sleeping quarters! ``Nacra: That is what they are there for! ``Albi: So we are going to do another space walk and connect these two hooks to the anchor points of the satellite, and then tow it at Mach 4? ``Tetra: That is the idea, and we will start off very slow, and gradually build up the velocity. Pilot? ``Pilot: Zaa Tetra. ``Tetra: We cannot put the drawbridge up with this rod attached, so how are we going to get back onboard? ``Pilot: Oh heck! Good question and full meeting is now required. ``Master: Are there any hull anchor points on Ziggy? ``Pilot: Zaa. We will need to make up a 'Y' pole and connect to the existing pole, but it has to be long. ``Master: Have we got the bits? ``Pilot: I will go and see what I can find. I can make up a 'y' by breaking up this trestle, and binding it together. ``Dalbir: I will give you a hand. ``Albi: I will leave you go it. ``Master: We can put a nut and bolt through the wood to connect them up in series and for support. ``Pilot: That will work and hope it will last for a few hours. ``Nacra: Is it strong enough to hold? ``Dalbir: It should be, but we will have to wait and see, as this has never been done before. Anyway we need to get some sleep, as we must be awake for this tow. Neither do we think that we can push it along, although we may have to try. [Sleep Time] `Dalbir: Zila, zila, I have to prepare breakfast, so come and help me in the Mess quin? ``Nacra: Zaa. [Cosmo Bridge] ``Tetra: I have sent a flight plan as before, and we have security clearance to go straight to Moon 9. ``Master: Marvellous, and that will save a lot of time. ``Tetra: So it is Mach 14, as we do not have to worry about using their way points. ``Master: Vanna, Mach 14. ``Vanna: Zaa Master. ``Tetra: Mach 4, because of Moon restrictions. ``Vanna: Mach 4 it is. ``Tetra: There is Moon 9 on our port side, and Mach 1. ``Vanna: Crumbs, we have saved an hour! ``Tetra: Full stop, and thrusters only. ``Master: We are here? ``Tetra: There she is, coming into view now. ``Master: You three get kitted up. [Zaa's] ``Pilot: Depressurizing hold. Drawbridge down. ``Dalbir: Albi and I will find these two anchor points on Ziggy and Tetra will float over to the satellite. ``Tetra: Zaa. ``Albi: I have found it. ``Dalbir: I too have found it and have connected up. ``Albi: Done that. ``Tetra: I am nearly there. --- The 'Y' rod is connected, so I will make my way back to Ziggy. ``Pilot: All three are safely back on board. Drawbridge up. Pressurizing hold. ``Tetra: Albi and I will go in Cosmo, and Vanna and Dalbir can stay with you. Leave Nacra to observe from the smart screen. ``Vanna: Confirmed. ``Tetra: Okay I am through and ready to continue. ``Vanna: Ziggy ready to go. ``Pilot: We may get dragged backwards with the size of the satellite.
