Remnants and Fallout

The Good doctor stepped onto the bridge, "With your permission, I should brief the crew as to the mission, objectives and rules of Temporal travel," he said picking at the white labcoat he was wearing, and at the red and white Coalition logo on the breast.

Walking up to a terminal he activated the shipwide.

"Attention all hands," He cleared his throat, fishing out a cigarette and lighting it. "You are no doubt wondering where you are... the specific answer to that question is far more complicated than a simple 'here'."

His image was relayed on repeater displays throughout the ship, and the crew stopped to pay attention to him.

"Our orders were to travel back in time nearly one thousand years, to intercept the Sleeper ship convoy on its way to the Sirius Sector. More specifically, we are to intercept the Sleeper Ship Hispania, secure it and redirect it under our control to Omega-52. Once there, we will use the population of the Sleeper ship to found a resurgent Coalition that will rival the power of the other four houses, and firmly establish our Coalition as a dominant Galactic power!"

He cleared his throat, "I know some of you who are scientists will have causality and paradox questions... be assured we have tested these theories and know that it is, indeed, possible to change our timeline... But at a cost. The Coalition we knew will be gone, the Sirius we knew will be redefined... our only hope is to carry the words of Premier Katz, and the Coalition's goals with the Hispania, to be born again into something far stronger, far greater than we could have dreamed."

"We will be intercepting the Hispania shortly, boarding parties will be selected by Colonel Rhade to go aboard the Sleeper ship... it is expected that the ship will rouse its command crews in response to our presence, they are to be dispatched... Navigation and propulsion are to be secured, and the ship brought under our control... This is the Will of the Politburo, and of the Premier himself."

He turned to the Vice-Admiral, "For the Revolution, for Admiral Broch!"
