[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7440342, member: 6925649"] I made some corrections to my version of the ANNIC NOVA converted to a time ship. The scenario I'm considering is that this timeship appears several hundred meters away from the International Space Station today, more or less in the present. This appearance has some political ramifications, and the only people in a position to investigate this timeship is the crew of the ISS. The usual rules for making a jump don't apply here, as this starship is equipped with a time drive. The rule for the time jump is that the ship when it time jumps is only displaced in time, not in space, but for the purposes of making a time jump, the velocity of the timeship is considered to be "at rest" and the rest of the Universe is considered by the time drive to be moving in relation to the time ship. The timeship was in low Earth orbit when it made its time jump and when it arrived in 2018, it remained in low Earth orbit, and just happened to be a few hundred meters from the International Space Station when it arrived. When the multi-national crew sends astronauts to investigate the Timeship, the only major nation not represented is China. The political leadership, fearing being left behind, during this exploration makes a desperate move, while the astronauts are aboard the ANNIC NOVA. China launches a missile at the ANNIC NOVA hoping to destroy it and thus eliminate the technological advantage the ISS participating nations would gain over China as a result of this exploration. The Sensors on the ANNIC NOVA detect the incoming missile, and while programmed to take evasive action, the only evasive action it can take to avoid the missile is to make a small time jump of 100 years back to low Earth orbit in the year 1918 AD, during the last year of World War I by the way. Here is the sheet and floor plans and room key for the ANNIC NOVA converted to a timeship using the Highguard rules 2nd Edition: [IMG]https://orig00.deviantart.net/2add/f/2018/160/c/6/ship_record_sheet_annic_nova_by_thomasbowman767-dcdyqeb.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
