Lt. Cmdr. Jansen Orrey: Just a little push.

[Jansen Orrey]

((Scout Ship Miombo - Edge of Trenvonn Space))

Saavei: Yes sir. ::Then opening a new panel on her LCARS, sent said message to the Daintree:: =/\= Miombo to Daintree, silent message. Contacted by Turei scout ship. Dialogue ongoing. =/\=

The doctor reopened the channel looking to Taelon to hopefully help stall things along or swing them more in the team’s favor.

Taelon: =/\= We have - we have reason to believe one of our own was involved in an incident in Underspace, and exited near this area. We’ve discovered wreckage from a Vaadwuar ship that may have been involved. We mean no harm - simply to understand what happened and retrieve our colleagues if they are in distress. =/\=

Saavei: =/\= Are you able to assist us in this, Scout Ship Starshell? =/\=

Berapli: =/\= The Vaadwaur? You are certain? =/\= 

Orrey: =/\= Yes. We have recovered organic matter from the crash site we are in the center of.=/\=

Taelon: =/\= We have other ships in the area, as the Doctor said. If you allow us to reconvene with them, and assist us with your own knowledge, we can be done swiftly and withdraw…=/\=

Saavei: ::quietly:: I can narrow down the general area of the Turei ship but not a precise location, sirs.

Berapli: =/\= I am considering your words. ::she showed her teeth again, though she mistrusted the gesture.:: But there is much knowledge it is perilous to desire. =/\=

Orrey: =/\= There is no harm in sharing knowledge though. =/\=

Taelon: =/\= A-again, no harm or aggression is meant. We would greatly appreciate your assistance…? =/\=

Varati: =/\= OPs to Daintree, Miombo and Independence-B: Whoever receives it first: the scouts must get away from the vicinity of the subspace rift! Immediately! Part of the rift is on the verge of collapse! Get out of there! =/\=

Saavei: Sirs, priority message from Amity Ops. The subspace rift is on the verge of collapse, they recommend immediate withdrawal. ::On comms again:: =/\= Turei vessel, we have received information the rift may collapse any moment, be advised of navigational hazard =/\=

Berapli: =/\= I am aware. Can you not see the beacons? =/\=

Jansen glanced around at the different readouts across the scanners before shaking his head.

Taelon: I heard! Get the message to the Daintree, they’re - they’re closer to the rift.

Orrey: I am not seeing anything.

Saavei: =/\= Saavei to Daintree, Ops indicating the rift on verge of collapse, they recommend we withdraw immediately =/\=

Taelon: =/\= Pardon, beacons? We hadn’t - we didn’t encounter any that were obvious to our sensors - =/\=

Berapli: =/\= There were three in this area. Two, now.  ::a thoughtful pause:: It is the rift remaining that concerns me. =/\=

Jansen stayed calm. There was no reason to panic, it wouldn’t solve anything or make it easier.

Taelon: =/\= Understood! Attempting to evade the rift - =/\=

Orrey: =/\= What information do you have on this rip? =/\=

Saavei: The collapse is beginning. We are caught in a gravitational eddy. It is pulling us toward the rift; if we do not escape, the Miombo could be destroyed or pulled into the other side of said rift, potentially underspace.

Pilot: Aware of that! Compensating!

The ship lurched and Jansen planted his feet holding on to the back of a chair while watching the viewscreen still. They needed information.

Berapli: =/\= It is a broken jaw, left hanging open. It will not heal, and many might catch themselves on the teeth. I am sending my readings of the rift now. =/\=

There it was. A first contact, and a solid brick in a foundation.

Taelon: Saavei, if you can help our pilot get more out of the engines, um, please do it -

Orrey: =/\= Wonderful. Thank you. =/\=

Berapli: =/\= I would leave the Vaadwaur. But you did not destroy my beacon. =/\=

Taelon: =/\= We didn’t destroy anything. Not that we’re aware of. One, um, moment…. =/\=

The former diplomat winced slightly at the phrasing. The CSO needed some confidence lessons.

Saavei: =/\= Response =/\=

The sensors showed their visitor’s ship moving closer, seemingly unaffected.

Berapli: =/\= How much blame would you lay upon a child for their ignorance? =/\=

The console chimed as the Starshell sent over a signal full of data. Jansen glanced at the terminal as the computer started to parse it.

Taelon: =/\= Um, very little. Can you - the rift is drawing us in. How are you unaffected? Can you - help? =/\=

Saavei: =/\= Response =/\=

Berapli: =/\= I do not know what you can do, what your ships can do save stumbling through matters you barely know. I might tear you apart should I try to pull you loose. ::A breath. The marks upon her skull shifted back to violet.:: Should it pull you away, follow the beacons. Only then can we find you. =/\=

Orrey: =/\= That is appreciated. =/\=

So they used these beacons on the other side. Did that mean the Turei could see both?

Taelon: Suggestions or recommendations?

Jansen glanced at the terminal again.

Orrey: Limit the computer translating the data. We need that power elsewhere.

Saavei: Response

Taelon: =/\= Daintree! I’m forwarding the Turei’s data to you. They said to follow the beacons - I think she might have meant ones in underspace.  =/\=

Hopper/Galanis/Shortrith: =/\= Response =/\=

Saavei: Response

Jansen moved over and settled at his console again. He had an idea but it was a bad one. Sometimes those worked the best.

Taelon: Do we have a tractor beam that can help them? Can we bring them onboard with the transporter? Anything?

Orrey: Actually yes. If we tap into the probe and overload the shield emitters there toward the Daintree it could create a pulse to push them away. We would lose the probe but that is calculated.

Saavei: Response

Orrey: Same with our own. We can blow our shield emitters on that side to give us an umph away from the gravity well then throw everything into the engines.

Saavei/Taelon: Response?

Orrey: The other option is to see if we can explain shield bubbles to the Turei and see if we can link up with them to benefit from whatever tech they are using.

Saavei/Taelon: Response?
