He smiled. “Remember when you advised me to not be so… Imperial? This is where I recommend that you not be so… Sword Worlder. I’m not saying you will be permanently disarmed. Neither am I saying I will fully agree with you. What we need to do is talk about that and other subjects when the ship is s...

“We’ll talk more about weapons, but for now, I approve. Meet me at the ship’s locker.” He’ll leave sickbay and get her the weapon and tranq round. “I know you’ll be careful, but I’ll remind you anyway.” A terse " Allt gott " comes over the comm. Sigrún meets Flighty at the ship's locker a...

She then contacts Flighty "Kapiten, we don't know if the bomb has any anti-handling provision so I propose to launch it out of the aft airlock rather than throwing it. If it does explode I'd rather not be holding it. Apparently I need your authority to draw a self defence weapon". she's c...

Sigrún replies to Doug's comment about not spacing the bomb by meeting his gaze and stating levelly "The Kapiten told the three of us to deal with the situation - not to bother him with requests to take obvious action". She then seems to relent with "The bomb is on a timer but you wi...

You were interrupted, but from what scanning you did it looked pretty clear. There was a gun shaped object, a box of some sort that wasn't penetrated by the scan, and what appeared to be a folder of papers. Nothing that looked like a bomb if that's what you're asking. Now somebody with Electronics ...

Hope recovery goes just as well.

Keep on reading and convalescing!

Agreed.

"Nobody's tossing it out until I get orders from Captain Flighty ." Doug says then asks, "Swordy, right? I'm Doug and this is Bob , by the way. I'm Chief Engineer and Bob's my assistant. So, you got amnesia, eh? I've never heard of that happening from cold sleep before." "P...

Donovan gritted his teeth and the treatment began to take hold. His face became sober as Zaki spoke further. "Do you have a genetic rejection of the auto doc process?" “It’s too bad Karsci’s healing seems to be on himself only. Unless he might be able to use it on you.” "Very few adv...

Howdy all,

Donovan chuckles but he nods and laid back in the auto doc. He gave Zaki a wink and brief smile. "You really should give the massage a trial. It's very relaxing. After all we have to take care our doctor, right?" Zaki sighs and makes a slight adjustment to the regeneration routine. "...

I’ll be good with you transmogrifying Linder into 5e as closely as you can. That should make it easier.

I’m fine with it as well.

“I’ll go through the jump and maneuver programs, as well as all the flight controls. We’ll each need to look. Bob and Doug are working with Sigrún and will look everywhere for more sabotage devices. We will also need to check the fuel tanks, but that might have to wait until we’re in normal space. ...

He headed for the med bay. "How is he?" he asked once he stepped inside. Once he finds out, he'll bring them up to speed, since Donovan is awake. Zaki references the autodoc's readouts and gives Flighty a brief summary. She pales as he describes the goings-on back aft. "I think we al...

"That would be a good place to plant a small bomb, too, it would cause a runaway reaction when we come out of jump space. The ship might not blow up, but it wouldn't come out of J Space either." Doug stands up and walks a couple of strides over and opens an access door next to the jump dr...

“I’m not going to rush them. Lets hold off on jiggling their elbows. As for Sword World pirates, I can see the two of you playing the roles.” Sigrún replies solemnly " Já , in this situation jiggling is very bad. As pirates I think we might manage to be convincing. If we do then whichever Inte...

“All true. We may never know. It’s probably best if we vanish and they never find out what happened to us. That’s where a different IFF would come in handy. We could use Donovan and you as fresh faces until we get clear. One more thing to talk about once we are sure we won’t blow up.” Sigrún nods a...

Unless Sindee gets her hands on you.

"I don't really know much about it at all. If we have to, we can do a second J-1 and get to a different system. That's something we'll need to talk about. One thing I feel pretty confident about is that they'll want their cargo before they kill us." He turned to face her. "My bet is ...

Making sure she has Flighty's full attention she states "I know you are dealing with the bomb... but we are jumping into a system with an ambush waiting for us at the gas giant. Karcsi and I have both seen it! You are familiar with the Tremous Dex system? The primary is near enough a vacuum wo...
