((Scout Ship Miombo - Edge of Trenvonn Space))
Berapli: =/\= The Vaadwaur? You are certain? =/\=
Orrey: =/\= Response =/\=
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: =/\= Response =/\=
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? =/\=
The mix of comms was confusing, a jumble of words and voices in a suddenly escalating situation. Beacons? They’d not detected any - no, right now the priority was the rift and its danger.
Taelon: I heard! Get the message to the Daintree, they’re - they’re closer to the rift.
Orrey: Response
Saavei: =/\= Saavei to Daintree, Ops indicating the rift on verge of collapse, they recommend we withdraw immediately =/\=
Taelon took the moment to reply to the Starshell.
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. =/\=
Given it was tossing and rumbling the ship underneath him now, Taelon too was concerned about the rift - but in a much more panicked and uncertain way than before. On their sensor readouts the Daintree was heading closer to the tear in space, not away from it. Their own pilot had thrown their engines into reverse to back them away from the danger, the ship vibrating as it struggled against the pull.
Taelon: =/\= Understood! Attempting to evade the rift - =/\=
Orrey: Response
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 blonde man slammed their engines into pull power, the warp core audibly spooling up as it directed power to the shuttle’s nacelles. The ship strained against the gravitational pull.
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. =/\=
Right now said broken jaw felt as if it was opening, and its teeth were going to be sharp indeed. Taelon glanced at the others, teeth gritted to the point of cracking. Being a passenger in this sort of situation was the worst.
Taelon: Saavei, if you can help our pilot get more out of the engines, um, please do it -
Orrey: =/\= Response =/\=
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…. =/\=
He didn’t want to be rude, but they were also in a bad position, and their crewmates on the Daintree were in a worse one. Taelon tried to think of something they could do. Anything, really.
Orrey/Saavei: =/\= Response =/\=
A glance at 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. The systems weren’t quite compatible, and they’d need to translate from one computer type to another. That he could do; if he’d brought ARIA he could have done it faster. But at the moment, he could only think of one thing -
Taelon: =/\= Um, very little. Can you - the rift is drawing us in. How are you unaffected? Can you - help? =/\=
Orrey/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. =/\=
Beacons. Right. Taelon gripped the arm of his chair til his knuckles whitened, looking to Orrey and Saavei.
Taelon: Suggestions or recommendations?
The ship continued to shudder and struggle under them, the engines audibly working. But they’d stopped moving towards the rift…for now. They just weren’t moving away from it, either. And the Daintree…
Orrey/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 =/\=
Orrey/Saavei: Response
Taelon scowled down at the consoles in front of him.
Taelon: Do we have a tractor beam that can help them? Can we bring them onboard with the transporter? Anything?
Orrey/Saavei: Response
((Hopefully the tag order makes sense, my brain is fried today. Rearrange em if needed.))
