Episode 0787 - The Vigilance Captain, Gina, Jarry, Kirin, Riss, Pilot, Skipper, Tetra, Vanna, ~ 09 ``Tetra: Zonule Captain, and zaffre for the invite. ``Captain: You can hop Skipper over to SP6 and we will squeeze into Whirly. --- ``Kirin: Vulcan to Base, lifting off of SP6 over. ``Jarry: Dock to Vulcan, confirmed and a gusty 10kt wind over. ``Kirin: I have clearance to land on SP9. Weather conditions are similar. {Space Cavern ~ 6} ``Skipper: Dropping down, down. We are being towed to the fuel line. Stop. ``Tetra: Drawbridge 1 down. ``Pilot: Zenden all. ``Captain: Dalbir and Kirin, we will call you in 1-ora. Zimo. ``Pilot: Let us go into my Office. It does seem strange that only one had bid up for her, then dropped out, especially as the starting price was very low, so there has to be some discrepancies. ``Captain: Therefore as we are going in the Vulcan, taking spares for everything. ``Skipper: It may be a red herring and there is a plausible excuse for it all. Can we pump fuel from the Vulcan into Cosmo1? ``Pilot: A valid question and I am still waiting for the plans to arrive by space robot from Cepheus, but initially zaa, and I will add that to the list. ``Tetra: If we are low on fuel, then we would have to head for Cepheus, which leads me on again to ventilation system as it has to be very low. ``Pilot: There are two sealed boxes we are taking, including crystals and oxygen cylinders in case of a similar problem which you had Tetra. ``Tetra: No one knows where this wormhole comes out and I there may be two of them. But who and were the original owners? ``Pilot: We do not know, which is another mystery, which is why it had to go through the courts for clearance. ``Tetra: So we will embark with space suits on, and do a full quarantine check out, and then a full function test, before considering whether it is habitable? ``Pilot: Correct: I have had a mail from Cheb, and he would like to join us. ``Tetra: Zaa to that on behalf of Vanna. ``Captain: Okay folks that is, what I was hoping to hear. Tetra, do an appraisal mail to our private list. ``Tetra: Zaa. ``Captain: How do I gauge fuel on this trip. ``Pilot: Difficult. You would get through about 500 Litres if you did a trip to Earth, so time two plus spare as we may end up in the wormhole. Therefore I have instructed for 1,500 litres to be fed in, and you were just under a quarter full. In an emergency we could get Cheb out to refuel us. ``Captain: Excellent. Send us the bill over. So can we conclude this meeting? ``Pilot: Take a break before you leave, as the extra fuel is still flowing in. ``Tetra: You can come and join us, we are in the staff canteen. {Space Dock Tower ~ 2} ``Captain: We can leave in the morning. Everything is loaded up with the extra supplies. Therefore we will leave around 9th time. ``Vanna: I will confirm by mail that Gina, Nacra and Riss are to be here by 9th time. ``Captain: Master will be over, and so will Pilot. Skipper is at home, and the others all know. We will rendezvous with Cheb, but we will not deviate as he will initially come and find us. ``Vanna: Therefore the next meeting is in transit? ``Captain: Confirmed. ``Vanna: Zimo. {V001 Citadel in transit to Polaris Star ~ 7} ``Jarry: Check list completed. Quin all, be seated. Drawbridge 1 up and 4 greens. ``Captain: Tetra? ``Tetra: Running final engine checks as they have only just been running for 30 units and all three are in the orange zone. We are cleared for lift off. ``Captain: Whizz Skipper. ``Skipper: Aye, aye Captain. --- Orbit height. Mach 11 and Hyperdrive in and autopilot on. ``Gina: Drinks Crew? ``Captain: Wonderful, Gina. ``Tetra: We can do a course update in 8-oras. ``Vanna: I must go and talk to my passengers. --- Riss and Nacra, so far so good? ``Riss: We will just sit back and rest for the next two qefs. ``Vanna: Excellent appraisal. ``Riss: I am sure there will be some excitement in due course. ``Vanna: Absolutely and it would be a boring flight without it.
