Mission 12: "When It Rains..."

(OFF: I could have sworn I posted this already. Eh, must have gotten interrupted before submitting.)

"We never knew the Na'jigat were expanding beyond the galactic core. It seems we underestimated them once again."

[Odona Covell]

<Heraani Space Station - Hera System>

~It is I who have failed you master, by not staying with you.  The blue Harvest has been secured inside some sort of docking bay.  We are aboard some sort of station, I have attempted escape once but to no avail.  They have taken my weapon, I am sorry my master.~

[T'lana]

T'lana scanned the area around the target coordinates.

"Captain, there is a 29 feet long object, at coordinates 231 by 119, 200,000 kilometers from our current position. I am reading one lifeform in some form of hyperbaric stasis. For such a small craft Captain, I am getting an energy reading of 10 to the 19,000,000,000 electron volts...Captain that is the highest amount of energy, technology can produce."

"If I were to guess captain, it appears to be a fighter craft of some kind."

T'lana was impressed by what the sensors were showing, every electromagnetic frequency of the craft was showing a vessel not only alien to the Federation, but it seems alien to the entire galaxy.

"Another interesting point Captain, the sublight propulsion system is Ion based."

[Chaya Sar]

Chaya sat down on the console, the realization of not being able to return hitting her hard.

"You know, it's strange, all I wanted to be growing up on Naboo was a merchant, to own my own ship and ply the space-lanes. Then it was discovered I was force-sensitive and was shipped to Coruscant for training in the way of the Jedi. I was on my way back to Naboo for a well deserved holiday and suddenly I am catapulted to another galaxy, with no way of getting back. I mean it is possible to jump back to the my galaxy, but there would be nothing for the Navigation Computer to lock onto. It would be shear luck that I would be able to get back, this really is unprecedented, for all I know, the Blue Harvest could return as easily as it could cross a galaxy."

[Holographic Officer Beta]

"Yes Ma'am." Beta said, as he left the Bridge. As a young tactical officer replaced him at his terminal, Beta stepped into the Turbolift, and descended towards Engineering to find someone to speak to about the repairs.

[Holographic Officer Beta]

The holographic projectors in engineering warmed up again, constructing a body out seemingly out of thin air. The slow boot-up of his systems caused Beta to slowly compose piece by piece. A pair of boots materialised on the floor, and as the program worked it's magic, legs materialised, followed by a torso, arms, and then slowly a head formed, a full and a hollow pin on the side of the neck.

Holographic Officer Beta looked up towards the ceiling and 'breathed' in, making full use of all his sensory programs.

"Sir." The young engineer who had been performing the diagnostics and maintenance looked up at him. He was a relatively short Petty Officer, but behind the low rank pin and yellow tunic was a wealth of experience with holographic programs. "I've finished the diagnostics and purged the excess energy from your reserves. I've also installed a new subroutine Command asked me to work on. It's still in it's Beta stages, but it should simulate the feeling of when you've had enough of a consumable." he explained with a slight Irish accent.

"Thank you, Petty Officer." Beta said, smiling at the man, truly grateful. He had requested the diagnostic after he had embarrassed himself an his crew mates at the promotion and awards ceremony.

Glancing up, he noticed a few crew members that had not been on the manifest when he shut down. Checking the manifest again, he noticed a few new crew additions, in varying departments. Thanking the Petty Officer again, he began to head towards the security office, to make use of the consoles there and do some checking up on the new crew members.

[Chaya Sar]

~"There is no need to apologize Odona, we both did not expect to end up in another galaxy while jumping to Naboo. I have met some interesting beings, who rescued me from stasis. They know this part of the galaxy better than I, so I will talk with the captain of the vessel I am on. If they can not assist, I shall attempt a rescue with the Viper, the force be willing, I hope not to have to do that. Do whatever it takes to remain alive apprentice and trust in the force."~

[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'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]

Once the transfer was complete, T'lana took Chaya to Science Lab One and they began going through the Navigation Computer's collected data from the last Hyperspace Jump the Blue Harvest made.

"It seems your vessel did indeed encounter a massive gravity well, but the signature is too uniform to be natural."

[T'lana]

"Open a channel Mr. Beta."

[T'lana]

"You may stay with me until quarters have been assigned to you if you wish." Stated T'lana looking up from writing a report on her PADD.

"Other than that, you are quite welcome to explore Avalon, there is a lot to see and do there. The Celtic Corner is a rather popular establishment, but I would leave your, Blaster, did you call it? Here on the Rivendell, your Lightsaber will be fine though if you must carry it."

[Odona Covell]

<Heraani Space Station - Hera System>

~Yes master, I will stay alive don't worry and I will not reveal any information.  I brought the droid's with me and told them to remain inactive until called for.  Be careful of your new friends master, I feel a great disturbance in the force.~
