Flighty will hurry to the bridge and see what’s going on. He’ll make sure the systems are recording everything so he can check it later.
“On it.”
"This is incredible," Zaki murmurs to Sigrun as she watches her displays. "I'm recording this for later study, after I clear it with him, of course."Eris wrote: ↑Sun Jun 08, 2025 7:09 pm
Zaki sees the increase in respiration and heartbeat, the rise in blood pressure, and the shift in brainwave patterns from mostly theta to mostly alpha now. Karcsi is in a deep meditative state now. His mind is alert and active, but he is still by all appearances still unconscious.
Sigrún replies "He travels between the realms. It is known - except in the Imperium".joertexas wrote: ↑Mon Jun 09, 2025 12:09 am"This is incredible," Zaki murmurs to Sigrun as she watches her displays.

Sigrún avidly follows the telling of a story she seems to know. She comments "I think the wizard was a Zhodani. They are... are..." she winces and rubs her temple "... always wise and helpful...". She trails off lost in brooding thought.helvorn wrote: ↑Mon Jun 09, 2025 1:21 am Donovan watches with wonder as the ceremony proceeds. He continues talking steadily although his voice has grown hoarse and low. Donovan gives a thumbs up to Sigrun when she hands Karsci his spear. Now Donovan speaks of a journey of 13 odd companions and wizard as they travel through the wilds in search of adventure, revenge and ultimately friendship.
Flighty enters the bridge and sees the flashing green lights on the control board. That's not malfunction, it's the sensors picking something up! Intermittently, but picking something up.terrymixon wrote: ↑Mon Jun 09, 2025 12:06 am“On it.”

Eris wrote: ↑Sun Jun 08, 2025 7:09 pm From somewhere deep in Karcsi's ancestral memories an image forms of large dogs running beside him. Karcsi, still holding the chain, is standing, yes, Standing! He's standing on a kelkka, a sled, sliding through clean packed snow with kaksi poroa pulling it and several hunting susia loping along beside him. Kotiin is just ahead, he can see the circle of tents in the far distance...the forests, the mountains, the clean clear air. Warmth, comfort from the long, long cold beckon him home. Home to family, to completion.
Home! The shard is taking him home to the Luomisen Henget, where all things began and everything was created!
"Good idea."
It's a rite of passage for a Spacer to take a look at Jump Space and it does you know harm. You are assured that if you look too long , though, you will go mad. Too long would be hours and hours.terrymixon wrote: ↑Mon Jun 09, 2025 8:47 pm"Good idea."
Flighty will activate the proximity sensors and see what is going on.
If he activates the cameras, how dangerous is that for him?
Then he will activate the exterior cameras as well, recording everything.Eris wrote: ↑Mon Jun 09, 2025 11:09 pmIt's a rite of passage for a Spacer to take a look at Jump Space and it does you know harm.

Donovan rocks back on his heels as Karsci speaks something. He looked at the others with eyes wide open. Donovan whispered; "I heard…"Eris wrote: ↑Mon Jun 09, 2025 8:37 pm
Sounds come from Karsci's open mouth. Words? Language? None any of you know...the phrase "he speaks in tongues unknown to man" come into your minds... You know what the sounds mean, though...Zaki, Sigrun and Donavon all hear them in their native tongues, or do they hear them at all? Do they just simply know?
What are you?
Why are you here?
What do you want?

Zkai keeps quiet and monitors Karcsi's vitals, but she's ready to counter the mismash of chemicals with a injection of filter nanos and antidotes.Eris wrote: ↑Mon Jun 09, 2025 8:37 pm ---
Zaki's eyes go wide....Frontal Lobe! Broca's Area! is now active. That is speech and translation of speech to thought and vice versa! Is Karsci talking with someone in his head?

Suffice it to say, you've never seen anything like this before...not even close!
- Proximity Sensor shows a small object (about 1 meter across) near the ship and as you watch it leaves the jump bubble and disappears toward what is on your passive sensors.
- Passive Sensors show a large planet sized object roughly [1d100]=96 thousand kilometers ahead of the ship. This large object looks like it was once a sphere, but is now jagged and broken in shape. The ship and this object are holding this position relative to each other.
- Exterior Cameras, in all directions, show the swirling mind bending colors of Jump Space that you don't want to look at very long. However, 8 degrees off port forward the large object on the passives is visible floating within the swirl. It's hard to look at, but it appears that many of the swirling lines of color are bending into this object. You can't say if they are going in, coming out, or both, but they are interacting with it in some way. On the cameras you can see that this 'spherical' object is hardly there at all! The shape is the swirls of colors...they sort of look like threads...that are interacting with an area of ?space? There are small ?solid sections? where the colored threads are not part of the spherical shape, but only a very tiny bit of the spherical area is actually solid. You think solid because those tiny bits are pure white with no swirling colored threads interacting with them.
- Radio is receiving some static, should be nothing at all, but it's picking up something. So whatever is out there, wherever this is, there is radiation. At least, some of this radiation is in the radio wave frequency.
- Radiation Sensors, because I know you'd look, show normal levels inside the ship and within the Jump Bubble around. That's all you can get from them.
OOC: I hope I described this well enough for you to get the idea.![]()
