Episode 1197 - The New Void: Albi, Nacra, Riss, Selina, Sheriff, Selina, Vanna, ~ 07 ``Albi: Hatches secured and 5 greens. I have checked the crystals. Tetra? ``Tetra: Course laid in for Void, which is not accountable. Captain? ``Vanna: Unlocking orbit and mille-mach and zoom. ``Albi: Why are we checking the crystals on every journey? ``Vanna: I was in Cosmo 2, when we had toxic green gunge which made the crystals turn green. They had to modified Cosmo 2 and our Cosmo 1, with many new machined parts from the drawings. The theory was that the crystals do not last as long at these higher velocities. However that myth has now been dispersed, and we can go back to normal. ``Tetra: We still may have to stop and use the decontamination filters, even though they look okay. [Cosmo Mess] ``Selina: Drinks and snacks folks. Initial destination is 5-hours, so I will decide later on when we will eat. ``Riss: Where are we likely to end up? ``Vanna: We are not sure, but it could be Ursa Minor as there is not much else around. ``Nacra: What about Draco? ``Vanna: Perhaps, but the Draconians do not know about it, so it is all speculation and it is at least a qef in distant apart from each other. [Ding-Dang-Dong] ``Tetra: Scramble. [Cosmo Bridge] ``Vanna: Is it cartel? ``Tetra: Zaa. Requesting a predicted course. They are heading to the NW most, Star in Cepheus. ``Vanna: [Intercom] Sheriff to the Bridge. ``Sheriff: Where from? ``Tetra: The middle star in Camelopardalis. ``Vanna: Velocity? ``Tetra: Mach 20. ``Vanna: I am not surprised as it is a huge distant to travel. Alter cause to intercept. ``Tetra: Zaa Captain. --- We are within 1,000Km. ``Vanna: Scan it. ``Tetra: I am, and it is Cirrus5. ``Vanna: Pull their computer off. ``Tetra: Zaa. Downloading. --- Got it. I will now analyse it. It says it has a self destruct sequence. ``Sheriff: Marvellous, new we can blow it up from here! ``Vanna: QAA. You need two passwords to activate it, so we would have to find them. Oh heck, that means Cosmo must have one. ``Tetra: Mach 20, is their top speed so they are going flat out. ``Vanna: Change course to NW star in Cepheus. --- 20 units. ``Vanna: Mach 50 Use the new equipment and Scan for life forms. ``We are at orbit height and there is activity. ``Vanna: Shields up cloak mode. How long will it take for them to catch us up? ``Tetra: Half a qef. Scan completed, take around the other side and scan it. It is not a hospitable planet and I am only picking up one hot spot. ``Sheriff: So they are just using it as a hide out? ``Vanna: May be. Okay take us close as possible, and do a detailed scan. ``Tetra: I have scanned a 10Km area. I suggest we go down. ``Vanna: Use the depth sounder first. --- ``Tetra: Qaa difference. ``Vanna: Take us down to 28Km ALT. Seat belt light on. Forward camera on. Ray Guns active. ``Albi: Are we on target practice? ``Tetra: Zaa. --- Height 28Km. ``Vanna: Full scan. [Ping-Ping-Ping] ``Tetra: Warning sound, and I need another 2 units. ``Albi: There is some form of movement down there. ``Vanna: It could that they are expecting Cirrus5. ``Tetra: 1 unit. --- Okay, scan completed. ``Vanna: Zoom and up we go. ``Albi: Wow, that g-force. Okay stable out at Mach 1,000. Put us back on original course, and stand down alerts. ``Tetra: Course corrected and laid in on auto. ``Vanna: I need a drink. [Cosmo Mess] ``Selina: We all need drinks after that Yoyo jump. ``Vanna: Zarfs. We are back on course. ``Selina: That is a relief. ``Albi: They have made a camp on NW Planet? ``Vanna: Zaa. You needed proof, so now you have it. ``Sheriff: The committee need the proof, so why not attack? -|- ``Albi: Why not attach? ``Vanna: We cannot attack without provocation, and that will not happen this qef. ``Nacre: That was a bit more like it. ``Riss: It woke me up! ``Tetra: We are slowing down, crew?
