Then we can crack it AND bring it back.

And while you do that, Gaetanna ill be a good girl and send the report to Grandpa so we'll all win.

Yeah, and Damon wants to make damn sure nobody informs Gaetanna about the presence of the android until absolutely necessary.

Oh my... I didn't remember how far away Segdiir truly was... It'll take you about 5 months to reach it with current sensors and engines

Well there's a lot of adventure on the way

I'll post the expanded map later today.

Cnosos...get to work modifying those engines so we can go faster!

You make it sound like Gaetanna's a bad guy (or at least the granddaughter one) :angel:

Not a bad guy per se...just that she is new, so from an IC point of view we obviously can't quite trust her yet. I'm sure she'll come around, though.

Expanded map. As before:
Blue dots are human colonies.

Red dots are home systems of sentient species + Bastion which is a half terraformed planet that serves as the Capital of the Republic.

Green dots are waystations. Some are no more than a jumpgate, others are fullblown colony of other species, and anything in between.

The single brownish dot is a destroyed system. The gate in there still exists but is badly damaged and malfunctioning.

WOW! We are a long way away. Time to get going!

Blackrat · Jul 10, 2009

Oh, BTW, your ship is equipped with cryo-beds just for this kind of journeys. The computer can handle basic functions like travel through hyperspace and plotting new course at waystations. If something unexpected happens it can thaw any or all crewmembers in 10 minutes.

Due to this, Steve is actually way older than he appears as he has occasionally spent months at a time in cryosleep

Yeah, one purple square in that map equals 100x100 LY. Your ship travels at approximately .75 Lightspeed and hyperspace shortens distance by the factor of 1000. I've got an excel sheet to let me calculate the times of any route pretty easily.
