    The Long Journey Home

    "Hmm." mused Aleksandra "Now that I think about it something similar may have happened to my other VI when it was performing roughly the same function. Would you have a look at Ula for me as well please?" She deactivated and handed the module over, waiting eagerly for a reply.

    The Long Journey Home

    Aleksandra nodded at her commanding officer though she wasn't really paying attention. She rebooted Olga and ran some human interface exercises. Seeming discontent with the results she powered the unit down and plugged it into her comms pad to check the code. After a few minutes she unplugged it...

    "I think that would be a good place to start I-" Aleksandra was cut of buy her communicator going off. She paused for a second to listen to the the transmission. "I'll be right there sir." She turned to the two women. "I'm very sorry ladies I'll have to cut this short It seems something has...

    She finished up her mouthful and said "Well one of the things I was thinking is that if that 'ship' is the only other source of paksis energy out here would we be able to track it? I think that'd be a step in the right direction. And yes I can see that there is no way we can stop using paksis...

    "Right indeed. In these first days of the voyage we've already had several incidents involving Paksis that go beyond anything that I know about it and as far as I know our greater knowledge of it at all. There is the cores' shift, the change in the MDAs 'the reason I asked you here Meia' and the...

    "Ah good morning Meia and Tami I presume. I hope the two of you slept well." Aleksandra sat at the table with her food and extended a hand toward the Purple haired girl. "I'm Private Aleksandra Zhukova of Sierra Starseeker squad, nice to meet you." She gestured to ward her shoulder at the...

    The Long Journey Home

    Aleksandra awoke sharply and set about her morning rituals. A short stretching routine, mimicked by her VI's, followed by touching a necklace to her forehead for a minute with her eyes closed. She then zipped it up into her Jumpsuit and cheerfully went to the canteen for "breakfast". As she...

    Aleksandra looked at the two privates in turn, blinking slowly between looks. She professionally decided it would be foolish to grace either of them with a reply.

    "I agree. I believe it would probably be beneficial to our squads to do some group training and cohesion drills. Though that'd be up to you captains."

    "Captains." Alexsandra said saluting. "I'd like to bring up a matter for tactical observation amongst the group. It has occurred to me that the forces we have fought are of a non-military persuasion. They are arranged into three types of unit, close range attackers that focussed on shredding...

    "That's very interesting. I'm almost surprised you were paying attention to them earlier but no technically they don't. VIs are capable of simulating a series of emotions in particular scenarios as long as they have been programmed to do so. Many users find it helpful for the VI to act as...

    The Long Journey Home

    Aleksandra quickly decoupled from J.D once they were both in the airlock and briskly made her way to the armoury to unequip. Her new suit was remarkably easy to remove, two swift motions and the projection folded down into a compact stackable form. She handed the black box to Meia. "Thanks Meia...

    "Well from the sounds of things that's mission complete." Aleksandra said to J.D clipping the two cables together. "I'll tow you back in to the ship, hold on." She jetted along the ship though space gently drifting at speed to the non-mauled dock. "It's a shame, I'd love to spend more time out...

    "Private Aleksandra sir, Almost done patching the engine sir." Aleksandra piped in "We can leave the engineers to finish, they were more than capable just needed more MDAs really. I'm going to go and detach these boarding vessels properly, I'm worried they could have an effect on the wanderer...

    Did I work anything out with those two paksis checks, 5 degrees for the feasibility of the jump, 3 dergees on if the paksis seems to have reacted strangely at the engine end.

    Aleksandra nodded her head and got to work wherever she could help. She did some paksis calculations in her head using her Holos to run additional numerical data. As she did so the floated around the area cutting off un-salvageable debris and applying quick weld where it is needed. There isn't...

    Feeling the tank's retro thrusters fire Aleksandra stood up again. "Looks like we'll have to regale each other another time Dr. Tsuba I believe this is our cue." With that she focussed her equipment so that one of her holos was projected in full functionality mode. "I'm sorry Ula you'll have...

    "Very funny Mikhail, but I'm afraid that isn't appropriate." she got up and flicked the lights back to normal, leaving the music as the only controls for those were beyond Mikhail in his cabin. "We are, if you've forgotten still of duty and an important mission to affect repairs to the...

    "Indeed, get back to driving." Aleksandra collected the other two mojitos and brought one over to J.D. "There you are J.D, sorry about that, now where were we?" ---------------------------------- The two holos came properly out of hiding clearly relieved. Ula sank in to a kneel and sighed...
