Episode 1160 - The Light years: ``Advisor: Quano folks. ``Vanna: Greetings. Owing to our future missions, Polaris Star is next on our list. However it is just a spot in your computer. ``Tetra: Can we tell the computer to calculate it, which will take a few hours? ``Advisor: I am not sure, until you have tried it. Use the anchor points of all other known planets, even the ones you have not visited. ``Vanna: We also need Polaris AB. ``Advisor: If not take a trip out there and send me the scroll-graph plot via robot. ``Vanna: Zaffre. ``Advisor: Talking about robots, it is on the way to you with a modified Biperdrive. Therefore you can increase to Mach 180, and when this is fitted, you can go to Mach 270. ``Selina: 180? ``Vanna: Wonderful, I have only been up to Mach 130. ``Advisor: You may go higher, as before it was untested. ``Vanna: I will go for a run. ``Advisor: There is hardly anyone who wants to fly Cosmo2, so the next your are here, I will arrange for you to take her for a spin. ``Vanna: I welcome it, and that is a real surprised and my Mum has blushed. ``Advisor: All in a qef's work Selina. Call me back when you have completed the tests. Zimo. --- ``Selina: Where is this going to take us? ``Vanna: We cannot convert into light years, as if we could go that speed we would be crushed. Tetra, call up Pilot. ``Selina: It appears someone wants us to so this. ``Vanna: Gaffer is the boss. ``Selina: I want to be on this test run. Make us a snack quin, and we can all go for a spin. [Pong-Ping-Pong] - [On Visual] ``Pilot: Ah! A different venue. ``Tetra: We three are in the Bunker. ``Vanna: The robot is on its way from Lacerta, and it has a modified Biperdrive, so we need the same engineer to fit it quin? ``Pilot: I will arrange for him to be available. V10 has passed all the tests, so we are finishing off the odds and ends. ``Vanna: I will delay going to Sednoid even further, until you have fitted the new part. ``Pilot: V10 will have to stay at Airbase, so we can do a swap her over. ``Vanna: I will warn Skipper. [Fundus Kitchen] ``Vanna: Any chance of a tapir bap? ``Selina: Zaa, I will prepare one each and instant beans. ``Tetra: I was thinking how do I convert Mach into light years. ``Vanna: We are using Mach speed, which is an Earth term, and it is Hyperdrive which allows us to cross dimensions, and to travel at high velocity. ``Tetra: We are in a different dimension, so we will know? ``Vanna: Mach is a form of measurement of speed. ``Selina: Food time. --- ``Tetra: We can use Missy. ``Vanna: Go and get her warmed up. ``Tetra: Zaa. {Cosmo. Local Test flight ~ 3} ``Tetra: Where are we going? ``Vanna: Try our south west star. ``Tetra: Plotting a course, and scroll-graph is on. ``Vanna: I have checked the hatches and 5 greens. Temperatures are normal. Unlocking orbit. Mach 140 and zoom. ``Selina: Go for it! ``Vanna: Mach 180. ``Tetra: We have Mach 180. ETA 20 units. ``Vanna: Take us around the star and bring us straight back. ``Selina: It does not feel any different. ``Vanna: We can cut Algol time down to 4-hours. ``Selina: Now it makes sense. ``Tetra: Planet-Q in 6-hours. Cepheus in 5 hours. ``Vanna: That is now, so it will become less, when we can make Polaris in less than a qef. ``Tetra: It will take 3 units to slow down. --- ``Vanna: Locking orbit. ``Tetra: I will leave the program running and come back up again later when it is done. ``Selina: Use the Cosmo Fone. ``Tetra: Zarfs Mum. ``Selina: Can we get back down to ground level? ``Tetra: Zaa. {Sandalwood Fundus ~ 3} ``Selina: Are you staying? ``Vanna: Zaa. ``Selina: Tree Trunk? --- Where is this all leading to? ``Vanna: More planets and more species. ``Selina: So they are desperate to use us? ``Vanna: They have to make it practical for us to be able to cope, and we are the only ones who can do it.
