Changed ship.
Got more information from Enterprise.
We decided to get to Galileo through Sigmas and Kusari.
Code:
Prof.Nerva: I'm on board my Corvo. What is your current location?
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Winter: Same location,Professor.
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Cook: Although House governments deny it, Zoners have some of the best shipwrights and engineers you will find anywhere.
Prof.Nerva: Enterprise, would you preffer through Kusari or Rheinland space?
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Cook: Professor, I was thinking the Sigmas via Theta
Prof.Nerva: I was thinking about the same route.
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Cook: Rheinland is a virtual death sentence with the war.
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Ferguson: Kusari wouldn't be much better..
Prof.Nerva: We go theta, sigma sigma honsu
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Cook: Nerva, can you escort? My orders don't allow me past the Sigmas
Prof.Nerva: I will escort and scout
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Cook: Nor are my nav maps current in Kusari
Prof.Nerva: 06, are you allowed to come to with us?
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Ferguson: Roger. We'll follow, though bear in mind our impulse is running at half functionality..
Prof.Nerva: we will go impulse.
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Cook: I can send a com to my boss though. He could escort from Kusari in his transport
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Ferguson: Understood.
AI06: ::<reply> I will follow too. In the case of house negation, I'll split::
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Ferguson: On your word, professor.
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: In ship com: Ensign, send Dr. Holliday a message. He may come in useful.
Prof.Nerva: Swirtching to private channels.
Prof.Nerva: Thank you for the info, Cmdr. Cook
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Cook: We will bid you safe travels from here. We will head to Freeport 9 in Theta with you.
Prof.Nerva: Thank you Cmdr.
Prof.Nerva: Impulse speed.
Prof.Nerva: 06, can you scount ahead?
Prof.Nerva: Around the jumphole to theta?
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Cook: Impressive looking ship, Enterprise
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Ferguson: She's newly christened. Maiden voyage was about a month ago..
AI06: ::<reporting> Entrance clear. Destination clear::
Prof.Nerva: Enterprise, you might have some difficulties in the ice field near the Jump Hole.
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Cook: Well, we need to get you back home. People are probably wondering.
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Ferguson: They at least know..
Prof.Nerva: Enterprise, let me jump first.
Prof.Nerva: Enterprise is your crew ok?
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Ferguson: They're fine. Just shook up.
Prof.Nerva: Shield and weapons online?
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Ferguson: Fully operational
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Cook: Jumpholes out here are a bit bumpy
Prof.Nerva: Thank you Cmdr Cook. Safe travels.
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Cook: We're going to Freeport 9 so we'll go that far
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Cook: Standing by. Go ahead and jump.
AI06: ::<reporting> New contact in system::
Prof.Nerva: Jumping to Theta. Wait for my go.
Prof.Nerva: Clear.
Prof.Nerva: We are heading to E4
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Ferguson: Station in the distance?
Prof.Nerva: No, that is not base we are looking for.
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Cook: Enterpise, that is Freeport 9. They may be able to hlep your drives
Prof.Nerva: Oh, near the Sun. My mistake. I tought you were asking about the one on the left side.
AI06: ::<sentence> Covering Your six::
Prof.Nerva: Thank you 06.
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Ferguson: Hopefully they can get cruise up and running...
Prof.Nerva: It's a Freeport, they will have it up and running in no time.
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Cook: They should.
Prof.Nerva: Asteroid field clear.
Prof.Nerva: Any damage, Enterprise?
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Ferguson: That's a negative.
Prof.Nerva: We should be able to see it soon.
Prof.Nerva: Where did they jump you from?
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Ferguson: Well... first was from New York... second was from Shikoku...
Prof.Nerva: That is some bad luck you had there,
Prof.Nerva: Freeport-9 in range of scanners.
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Ferguson: We vaporized the shell not far from the Freeport in Delta..
Prof.Nerva: 06, any hosttile contacts in your area?
AI06: ::<reply> Negative. We are out of scanner, anyway::
Prof.Nerva: You can dock and repair. We will wait outside.
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Winter: Freeport is in range, sir. Shall I open a request to moor?
Prof.Nerva: Yes.
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Ferguson: Do it.
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Winter: Aye, sir.
Prof.Nerva: I will contact them on private channel and explain the situation
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Cook: They shouldn't give you trouble with us escorting
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Ferguson: Roger.
Prof.Nerva: Exacly what I was telling them. You can dock, no problem.
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Ferguson: Bring us in, Winter. Nice and easy.
While Enterprise was having its engines repaired, I got to change to chat a bit with Alicia.
Code:
Prof.Nerva: Engineers are waiting for you to dock. They will fix your problems in no time.
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Cook: Nicely done, A106 and Prof. Nerva
Prof.Nerva: We could not have done it without you.
Prof.Nerva: Also, call me Nerva.
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Cook: No problem. I'm Alicia.
Prof.Nerva: Nice to meet you.
Prof.Nerva: 06, you are ok?
AI06: ::<reply> Full operative::
Prof.Nerva: Is that a Bretonian accent I hear?
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Alicia: Born and bred on New London. I just got tired of working there.
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Alicia: Better opportunities here.
Prof.Nerva: I studied for 3 years at the Cambridge Uni.
Prof.Nerva: Good times, good beer.
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Alicia: *chuckles* True on both. Got my degree there myself.
Prof.Nerva: Oh, what is your field of study?
Prof.Nerva: 06, you can join us close to the Freeport, maybe you want some readings.
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Alicia: Economics. War has made that study useless.
Prof.Nerva: War makes everything useless.
Enterprise undocks with its cruise drive operational.
Code:
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Alicia: Enterprise, any results?
Prof.Nerva: Enterprise? How are your engines?
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Ferguson: Cruise drives are back online, but we'll have to put in for repairs once we get back to Norfolk.
AI06: ::<reply> I [hear] You, Friend "Prof.Nerva"::
Prof.Nerva: They will last the trip. I trust our Zoner engineers
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Alicia: Excellent.
Prof.Nerva: 06, can you please go scout the jump hole
Prof.Nerva: quadrant E3
AI06: ::<reply> Comply::
Prof.Nerva: Enterprise, follow us.
Prof.Nerva: Alicia, this is your last stop, right?
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Ferguson: Roger. Gardner, you'll have helm. I'll be back here.
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Gardner: Aye, sir.
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Alicia: Enterprise, we have to stop here. Have a safe trip and do say hello to my boss if you see him
Prof.Nerva: Will do. Thanks again!
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Ferguson: I will. Thank you, Ms. Cook.
[MFE]Med.Force.Three: Alicia: Nerva, A106, talk to you soon.
Prof.Nerva: Fly safe.
3rd|LNS-Enterprise: Gardner: Let's get moving.
Prof.Nerva: Ready to cruise?
