T20: High Law and Low Justice, Part 3

[Seonaid]

Ktarle looks out into open space almost wistfully, as if wanting something badly enough is all it takes to have it happen. "They aren't going to make it," she murmurs to herself. "Are they going to make it?" she continues a bit more loudly to Saanath.

When Vyrkris comes through the comm, she sighs inaudibly, more a movement than a sound. "Is the child all right?" she asks. Not that I could do much anyway. Especially since we might have a bigger problem once Beta gets in.

Vyrkris considers her answer, as she trys to get some power to the maneuver drives in the quickest way possible. Finally, she says, "I'm listening, and the child sounds lonely and hungry, but not hurt."

Ktarle nods. "Good," she says over the comm. She goes back to watching Beta fretfully.

 

[doghead]

Saanath stares at the dull glint that is the Beta. "Vector looks wrong," he mutters to himself.

He realises that Ktarle is talking to him.

"I don't know." But is there something that I can do? Crash proceedures, arresting devices, remote piloting ... Saanath springs to life, pulling up menues and whatever from the teminal to see what is on offer. Give me remote piloting access and I'll get them in safe, I promise. God willing.

All that comes up on screen is an option to open a full access datalink - it's not remote piloting per se, but it might allow Saanath to take control of Beta's computer, take a look at the boat's data and input the proper vectors into the autopilot. He'll need Trelene's help though, to allow Dvonn's computer access to Beta.

As she speaks she tries to slow down the boat first.

"Zaedhrarrg! Snap out of it. We need to land the boat in the Dvonn's hanger. Zaedhrarrg!!"

Trelene pushes forward on the throttle, and the sound of the main drive cuts out, replaced by the reverse thrusters used in braking. The computer alerts her to another missile coiming her way, still far off, but she knows she cant stop dead in space if she hopes to survive.

As she speaks to Zaedhrarrg, his sobs stop, and Trelene thinks for a moment she's gotten through to him. Instead, however, she realizes that he's lost consciousness. The vargr slumps over Julia's body

"Beta, what is your status. We have the hanger doors open."

ooc: Whoops. Bit o meta game leakage there in the last post. As far as I remember, Saanath is not aware of the exact situation on Beta. Does he know that it was hit? That some weree wounded. Sorry, been a bit busy and haven't had time to go back and check.

 

[Maerdwyn]

ooc: Trelene has reported over the comm network that the captain is dead; that Zaedhrarrg is out of it; and that another missile just missed them. You can assume Saanath believes the boat was hit.

"Beta, what is your status. We have the hanger doors open."

Seeing Zaedhrarrg slump over, Trelene tries to make the needed course correction.

"Beta to Dvonn! Trying to make course correction. Captain is dead. Zaedhrarrg just lost consciuosness. Life support is ou..."

Sound of a computer alert coming over the comm.

"Beta to Dvonn! We have another incoming missile. Over!?"

 

[Maerdwyn]

Seeing Zaedhrarrg slump over, Trelene tries to make the needed course correction.

Trelene does her best, but overcompensates, changing the boat's pitch too much. She can make broad, sweeping movements, but the fine control needed to dock the boat safely is simply beyond her skill.

From the comm: "Keruuchan Lifeboats, this is SDB Junkyard Dog. We are en route. What is your status? Repeat. Keruuchan Lifeboats, this is SDB Junkyard Dog. We are en route to your position. What is your status? Long range sensors have detected multiple missle launches. Please Respond. Over."
