SNIP

Isaac started to scan for everything and anything. Not knowing what’s going to pick up.

Lt. Isaac Black (CAO)

=^=I apologize Captain. I am attempting to get that information for you. Smele has several ships that can help evacuate people. We’re trying to get that going. I will keep you updated. I have made it very clear to the Administrator what needs to happen.=^= Melissa said =^=If you have an idea how to speed things up then I am open. I am working as fast as I can here.=^= Melissa spouted off, aware of the danger and wanting to get off the sphere as much as anyone else.

The ‘other’ spheres did show up in scans. Like Dal’s very small clan sphere there were others dotted about not unlike widely spaced farm homesteads on the prairie. Nothing at all that would compare with First City. However they might, the closest that the scans might come to for a ‘Second City’ was a small village of clan spheres.

Comms would pick up a low frequency message from First City - a repeating short message not unlike an SOS.

=^=Captain, we’re going to have to do this the hard way. He doesn’t think any of the ships they have will come.=^= She said =^= I will see about getting everyone moving towards a central area. We may need to use the transporters.=^=

MACO

Isaac was looking at his scans “ Sir I would not recommend using the transporter because the center of the complex is right above their black Hole generator and that thing is unstable as it is will be very dangerous if we were treating them with that thing going crazy the way it is” he said as he continued his scans trying to find a solution to this problem.

“Ok, let’s get all transporter rooms on standby. And start prepping for incoming.” She got on the comms and notified medical, security and engineering to standby for the influx of business they were about to do.

Her next call was back to the MACO, [O]All right… well get as many as you can on shuttles and the rest we will start transporting as soon as you are ready.[O]

The Bonnie would need to enter the sphere for the transporters. The distance is rather beyond that of the ship. However, that said, once they are within range they would be able to transport.

[O]Yes Ma’am. I’ll let you know once we’re in place.[O] The MACO could be heard in the background talking to someone as teh link closed. She sounded very serious and motivating at the same time.

Ari moved to the nearest vacant computer terminal and started doing her own computations. When she realized the Bonnie had to be ‘inside’ the sphere to be close enough for transporting, she leaned back and sighed. She glanced at the view screen. The gaping maw that opened into the sphere was suddenly the size of a needle head. She was sure there was room to get in, and out. But the idea of flying into a bottle with a black hole in it, scared the scientist part of her to the point she actually shuddered.

Knowing she didn’t have to name names, she sighed and went back to her own chair. She wasn’t quite ready to stand yet. “Figure out the least distance we need to get inside that thing to make transporters affective, please. Not looking to dive into the center of this little universe.” Much as Black Holes are a curiosity, perhaps this is one first hand experience I don’t need she added to herself mentally.

The claustrophobic scientist CO would note that there was a great deal of room inside even with the black hole. However, it was one which was gradually tearing at the structure of the dyson sphere and would eventually collapse it and draw it in. However that was a long time away. The course was easily prepared though would take the Bonnie in likely much farther than Ari was comfortable with.

Ari shook her head. She knew this was important. She couldn’t sit back and let an entire race die because she was nervous…

Her voice cracked, but she recovered swiftly. [O] Tafoya… Get them in groups and set up for transport. We’re doing this NOW [O] She then ordered the helm to start their entry into the sphere. “We’re getting these folks out.”

She then tapped the comm once more and broadcast to all the away teams. [O]This is the Captain… shove who you can in transports and get them out. Everyone else get into groups and prepare for transport. The Bonnie is coming in.[O] She didn’t like the feeling of her skin trying to crawl off her back, but there was nothing to be done. White knuckled, she sat in her chair and watched as they began gliding towards the open maw of the sphere. “Set all transporters rooms to maximum. We will rotate the pick ups between them to give the pads time to clear out and keep the drain on the ship to a minimum.”

The time for dilly dallying was over. This was going to end one way or another in the next hour or so. She just hoped she was making the right choice.
