Re: Return Home
Well where do I begin we were on a standard run to deliver H-fuel to Omega-49 and cruising in Omega-41. According to my log a good portion of the flight was uneventful in the border systems. Then during the jump between Omicron-41 and Omega-47 something terrible went wrong.
Midway while traversing the jump hole we felt a resonating pulse through Mikuma's hull. Immediately afterwards we transitioned to normal space, except we were not in Omega-47. After a day of realigning our sensor sensitivities our Nav computer estimated our position. We were 2.6 billion kips from 47's star. Lucky for us are hold was full of H-fuel. So I immediately ordered stores locked and ration schedules implemented. We mounted Kako's Eagle to our lower hull and brought him aboard, no need for escorts in deep desolate space. We set Mikuma headed toward the nearest star, in Omega-47. During the voyage we investigated our misfortune and found an exterior hull panel was missing and a damaged exposed energy conduit. Most likely radiation damage from Omega-41 system. My engineer believes that a energy discharge while in a jump hole will resonate the worm hole wall and cause added stress tensors. The effect is a momentary rip in the worm hole wall there Mikuma was shoved through given the diolation encapsulating our ship. Well I am just a pilot by nature so who am I to disagree.
After 88 days in cruise we arrived at Casablanca... I never thought I would be so happy to see a Hessian. I am glad to announce that Mikuma is at Ogashawa accepting repairs and crew leave. I would like to recommend awards of valor to my crew and Kako Shimakaze for their diligence and shear bravery to see Mikuma home safely. Mikuma and her crew will be ready for assignments within the week.
