Mission 12: "When It Rains..."

[Chaya Sar]

Chaya Sar, still caustious, deactivated her Lightsaber and place it back into it's hilt.
The Force seemed strange here, she thought she had heard a telepathic communication, but it didn't make any sense.

"Then I am pleased to meet you Taurik and the rest of you of course. As I said before, my name is Chaya Sar, have you informed the Jedi Council of my situation?"

[T'lana]

The Chief Medical Officer repaired the young woman's injury. As she began to stir, the Doctor stepped away, giving the Security contingent enough room.

T'lana stepped back from the pilot, allowing her to acclimatize to her current surroundings.

[Taurik]

"Quantum torpedoes, full spread!"

[T'lana]

OOC: Yes, that is pretty close. In actual fact there is not much difference between Warp Drive - Compressing/expanding spacetime - and Wormhole Induction Propulsion - folding spacetime. Spacetime is curved and easy to manipulate, so when considering this and how Warp Drive and Jump Drive actually work, the Jump Drive is the next step up from the Warp Drive.

A Warp Drive creates a bubble of negative energy where the vessel is at rest. The bubble of negative energy causes spacetime around the vessel to "bend" - or warp - the compressed spacetime causes the ship to move (surf) through space at Faster Than Light speed. Spacetime expands behind the vessel as the influence of negative energy is no longer in effect.

The Jump Drive works in a similar fashion, but instead of generating a bubble of negative energy, you are directing a concentrated "beam" in front of the vessel to "fold" spacetime. Instead of compressing spacetime for propulsion you are actually folding spacetime bringing the destination to the ship.
In actual fact my Jump Drive is the real science version of the Coaxial Warp Drive seen in the Voyager episode Vis-A-Vis. The Coaxial Warp Drive, literally means two Warp Fields in Parallel to each other. The act of folding spacetime is what creates a wormhole.
This is what happens in STAR WARS and the retconned BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (retcon = Retroactive Continuity, the act of remaking a show in varying degrees, either partially or fully).

[Chaya Sar]

"Yes my galaxy knows about Quantum Teleportation. It was just deemed useless, especially when we have vessels that can travel from planetary orbit to landing zone in less than a minute."

[Taurik]

"Mr. Freeman, correct me if I'm wrong, but we acquired Tylium during our assault on Red Acropolis, did we not?"

[Chaya Sar]

"Thank you Taurik. I would like that as well."

Chaya Sar thought for second, then stated. "Now, about this mission you are on, what can I do to help?"

[Taurik]

"Very well. Make sure to catalog this test, and we shall, with your permission, submit it to the Daystrom Institute."

[Morgan Freeman]

Morgan reviewed the data with the new information T'lana gave him.  "Your right, its bleeds off into the jump drive when first activated.  I think that we need to run some more tests of the system, care to lend a hand?"

Turning to his other engineers "Ensign T'Kar take command of engineering while Commander T'lana and I test this power bleed off problem."

[Taurik]

"All stations, go to yellow alert. Keep up constant scans for cloaked starships."

(OFF: Just FYI, yellow alert involves shields at full power, and weapons at 20% or so. Just wasn't sure if anyone knew that.)

[Luke Voison]

Luke nodded back, giving her a smile. A split second later he realized that he was going the wrong way to engineer, turning on his heels quickly he followed T'lana.

[Chaya Sar]

Chaya Sar walked along side T'lana and was all to happy to think of something other than her current situation.

"Well to explain the Jedi, it would be best to explain the force first. The force is a living energy field, that is created by life, in turn the force creates life. A never ending cycle of matter to energy to matter again. The force, or as it is sometimes called; The living force, is an energy field that surrounds us, penetrates us and binds the universe together, to quote a famous Jedi from history.
Jedi scientists have sort for millennia the true nature of the force and despite our galactic society and technology, the force still remains a mystery. There were many that likened the force as a unifying energy field, that bridges the gap between the four main forces of nature: Gravity, Electromagnetic, Strong Nuclear and Weak Nuclear. That to me seems to be the best explanation, given the metaphysical nature of the force.
The Jedi are those who choose to further their understanding of the force and life, the universe and everything, basically.
As there is a dual nature to everything, where there is the light side, those who choose the Jedi path. There is a darkside, those who choose to use the force for greed and personal gain.
We Jedi are the peacekeepers of my home galaxy, we choose to protect and serve, rather like Police Officers really. But we also choose to better ourselves through knowledge and meditation and there is a strict code of conduct we adhere to. The Sith, or darkside users, choose the path of chaos and evil."

Chaya Sar smiled sadly at T'lana,

"Does that answer your questions?"

[T'lana]

"Aye Captain."

T'lana sent the coordinates of origin of the distress beacon to the helm.

"Coordinates transferred to the helm Captain."

[T'lana]

"I have considered that Captain, but as you know the Inertial Dampers use an electromagnetic field to negate the effects of gravity during acceleration. In order to negate the effects of Wormhole Induction Propulsion, we would need to induce a Quantum Gravity field within the ship. Therefore it would require alterations of the Anti-gravity Generators."

T'lana continued,

"Bare in mind Captain, tests showed that only one out of one hundred people would be susceptible to the effects of a jump and then the degrees of the effect are variable. The disorientation lasts only ten minutes and is due to an imbalance in the Cerebral Cortex, a dose of tetracyclin should negate any effects that occur. It does happen though, so I thought it was worth a mention."

[T'Kar]

I just wanted to meet the captain and tell him personally it is an honor to serve aboard his ship. Would it be appropriate for me to go now or should I wait until he is done?
