Revelations (05/12/00 )
Somewhere near Vendoria solar system.
0920 hours, Admiral’s personal log.
Hmmmmmmm, well........ Having temporarily borrowed the Star Phoenix to assist in rescue operations of Galaxy Corp Special Operations Unit 5B, code named ‘Iron Claw Dragoons’, I have set course for Vendorian Defense Sta.....
Torvaine slammed the data pad down on the Helm Control panel, “Whom am I kidding , I stole the ship.... I am going to have a fair amount to answer for when I get back. I’ll be lucky if I’m scrubbing ion drives for the rest of my life.”
ADMIRAL, PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH THE DATA PADS PROVIDED. THEY ARE FOR YOUR CONVEINCE AND ARE NOT INVULNERABLE TO DAMAGE, THANK YOU SIR.
“Losy Computer, the Pheonix is worried about a 30 credit data pad… and I’m going to end up a janitor…”
“Your much too valuable for that, dear....” A hauntingly familiar voice drifted to meet with his vulpine ears.
Tor swung around to meet face to face with the soft eyes of a familiar vixen. “Ryana, why do you haunt me so....I ..... I’m sorr....”
She put her fingers to his lips, “Shhhhh, I’m not haunting you dear, I’m projecting.... What we psychics sometimes call ghosting, for obvious reasons.”
“Then why....”
“Am I here? I’ve come to help and to see you, but my time is short.” She closed her eyes and appeared to focus on something with in her ‘minds eye’.
Tor inquired, “What has happened with Ty, you have said he still lives...”
“Yes, barely... Our son has attempted to mentally project beyond his limits. He has attempted to establish contact with Karen at the station, but in his current condition he ‘missed’, and due to the psychic nature of his companions has ensnared their minds as well. A force, dark and sinister, an ancient evil that lurks between life and what lies beyond has pulled his subconscious into a nightmare of his own creation.”
“A nightmare...?”
“Yes, all of those close to him are partly effected, you have had strange nightmares, yes?”
Tor nods, “yes, he was onboard a ship, one of this type, and his team was sucked through a dimensional instability to the other side of the galactic rim.... it’s very odd.”
“All others are effected in similar fashions, some more than others. I have been attempting to bring him back to himself, but I am blocked and he is reluctant. Oh, when you reach VDS-1, you must go see Brightwing... he is in the infirmary.”
“Alright, but why?”
“He is in a coma, his mind is elsewhere... with Ty, I can bring back here, but I cannot go to him myself, I don’t know him well enough to project there.”
“Ah, alright.... I doubt that Alycron would forgive me if his son did not recover. I’m going to speak with Captain Orion on securing a strike team, if we can extract Ty and his team perhaps you can more easily bring him back.”
Ryana looked worried, “he is very weak, he might not survive long enough to reach the station, but it is a good idea. If I can remain ‘safe’ then I can attempt to help him when we find him.”
The Admiral raised an eyebrow, “Remain safe?”
The vixen smiled, “yes I’ve escaped and I must remain hidden...”
“Were are you? I will...”
Ryana grabbed his arm, “No, we save Ty first, then you can worry about me... I’m ‘safe’ like I said Tor...”
“Ok, my love, but we will come for you...”
ETA FOR VDS-1, FIVE MINUTES.... PREPARING TO RETURN TO NORMAL SPEED.
“very good, SHIP secure for normal space and drop us out of warp....”
The Star Phoenix dropped from warp and entered the Vendorian system. A number of patrol vessels moved about in system. The Star Phoenix moved towards VDS-1 at best possible speed.
“THIS IS VDS-1 CONTROL, TO UNKNOWN SHIP INBOUND. PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELF AND TRANSMIT IDENTIFICATION CODES, IMMEDIATELY.”
“This is Admiral Torvaine Ko’dayn, authorization code transmitted by point-to-point laser com array. Code is Omega clearance, please respond.”
"PROCESSING CODE TRANSMISSION, PLEASE WAIT..."
Please, take it... I hope the distractions you caused were thorough... hate to be arrested at this point in the operation.
Don't worry hun, everything will be fine Ryana sounded sure of herself.
"PROCESSING....
“AUTHORIZATION AND VOICE MATCH, WELCOME SIR TO VDS-1. PLEASE APPROACH FROM VECTOR 112.5.3 TO AVOID CONTACT WITH ANY GYRAN DEFENSIVE MEASURES AND DOCK AT SECTION 5. WE DID NOT EXPECT A VISITATION BY ANY ALLIANCE MILITARY COMMAND, WE WILL INFORM THE CAPTAIN OF YOUR ARRIVAL.”
“Ok, thanks.... Switching to vector 112.5.3.” Tor keyed the course correction. Somehow I expect that the Captain has anticipated my arrival. I don’t know him personally, but I believe we will see eye-to-eye on this...
Don't worry will do fine, remember we need to see Brightwing...
