=/\= I am Rear Admiral Clogtho of the Global Pallas Space Corps. I am commander of the ship Merry. We are evacuating the damaged ship Magni. Together we are 120 strong. I believe there is a misunderstanding here. We do not need rescuing. My ship is rescuing the crew of the Magni. We will be at a safe distance in 20 minutes and will begin de-radiation procedures after the explosion.=/\=

Just because a ship was having an overload it didn’t always mean the couldn’t go to warp. =^=Can you engage your warp drive?=^=

=/\= I believe that is how we are going to get to a safe distance in 20 minutes.=/\= replied Clogtho.

=^=My Apologies Admiral. We detected a vessel in distress and thought you required assistance. After you resolve your situation… we would welcome further communication and establishment of relations. Our ETA is under 12 hours. My Captain will address you when we get closer.=^=

Marishka worked to clean up the comm signals. She had learned a few interesting tricks and could, hopefully, get it done.

The Intel officer was able to clean up the static due to the nuclear radiation emanating from the damaged ship.

‘Global Pallas Space Corps’ David mused to himself. It sounded vaguely familiar. He pulled up anything in the main database that matched either the Space Corps or either of the ships in question.

-David Michaels, CSO

The database did not come up with anything regarding the ships but the technology was rather dated. The term “Space Corps” used in 14 colonies’ local law enforcement agencies, despite Starfleet being available to help them.

“I confirm warp 9.4,” Dagen called out. This would be a good test to ‘clean out the pipes’ so to speak, like hitting the highway on an old ground based vehicle. “Sirs, we do have metaphasic shielding that would protect us from instances here like this. We can get in a lot closer than they could if need be.” Still it did seem their arrival would be late. In the meantime they could learn a lot about these Pallas people.

“Warp 9 should be sufficient. I doubt they need us, but just in case we shouldn’t dawdle.”

If they didn’t need help, or should he say, want help, then they were essentially observing an emergency evacuation prior to a first contact. It would be interesting to know ‘how’ they were evacuating. Did they have transporters? Were they limited to shuttle style transportation? Would ‘their’ shields prevent the aliens’ style of technology from beaming through it? “Setting sensors to actively take in what information we can on them,” he announced. Yes that could be countermanded to err on the side of nicety.

From the sensor information, it would seem that the aliens did not have transporter technology.

Marishka began scanning other channels for anything else of interest.

“Do we have anything on this space force and the race attached to it.” Marius turned to face Michaels. “We’ll need a report for the captain, when he call us as I’m sure he can feel us going to warp 9” Marius smirked to himself. He wondered if it would take 2 or 3 seconds for the call to arrive.

OOC: Reminder: We are in uncharted space.
OOC: Uncharted for the current timeline, but possibly not for David who is from the future. Anything he might know from his time with DTI?

-GM

They were still quite a while out. 7 hours at this speed. They could have their detonation 5 hours before they might arrive. They could do their evacuation, retreat and have tea before they got close enough to be of any help. Dagen relaxed and brought up the display for the engine output and strain. Next to that he displayed the baseline output/strain figures to compare it to as they traveled.

Beside that window he kept the two ships on screen and logged any data that the sensors might come up with. It didn’t look as though they had transporters. But his interest was more in the line of the radiation output of the ships’ engines - both the damaged one and the intact vessel. If anything went wrong they may yet be needed and more data was better data. He was sure that in other parts of the ship the sensors were taking in the area of space and other bits. That was their wheelhouse. This was his.
- Dagen, CE

David let out a sigh. Just like Marius to want him to pull something out of thin air.

“Nothing directly matching the ships specifically, other than their dated technology and no transporters. There are several references in the database of a space corps, but so far nothing to directly to these ships or any race or people.”

-David Michaels, CSO

OOC: Sent James an email regarding what he knows. He will have to decide whether he would use the information or not.
OOC: Ok, great, thanks :)

Marius blinked innocently at Michaels as he commented. “That is… vague.”

At that moment Julien emerged from his ready room, strolling onto the bridge with a smile.

“Did you find a second Risa per chance?” he asked, wondering why the ship had picked up speed. “

• Julien King, CO
  

“Nuclear detonation of a warp ship in two hours, we are 9 hours out. They seem to have it under control, but right now its an unknown race, unknown ships. But if we are lucky, they are from a pleasure planet.”

Marishka was still scanning the comm channels. David’s frustration with Marius had not go unnoticed by her.
