997.281: Arrival Serbia

One hundred sixty four hours after entering jump Arvitis comms Ricardo 
from the Bridge, "Hey, boss! We're going to break out real soon now. You 
and Shawn ought to get up here."

An hour and a bit later, the ship drops out of jump space. Even before 
the brief nausea passes the alarms start to go off!

"Urp!" Arvitis is still struggling with the nausea, but he's trying to 
focus, "We've got a contact at 189 by 83....range, 74,000 klicks dang 
that was close!"

"Um, Ricky, I'm not getting a transponder signal from that bogy." 
Arvitis says, "And it's not...um,...it's a ship, I think, but it's not 
maneuvering. It's just drifting."

Over the comm system you can hear the steady tone of the planetary 
signal on the standard channel. Local data is streaming in from the 
planet on the channel with the standard homing beckon. You are also 
picking up a a number of transponder signals coming from ships flying 
through the system, but all of them are millions of kilometers away.

Shawn beat Ricardo to the GQ alarm, so he says "Comm local control, 
inform them that we've come across an apparent derelict. Arvitis, get 
ready to stream sensor data to them. Kelly, make sure our stutterwarp 
is ready to rock 'n roll. I want to be able to run like a scalded 
cat...or as much like one the ol' girl can do."

Ricardo fires up the Heplar drive and starts matching velocities. 
"Arvitis, that thing warms up so much a a degree, let me know. At 2 
above background, I don't think anyone is alive on it, but there's no 
sense taking chances."

"Arvitis, get a good scan as we go past. I want to know what that is."

"You bet'ch." Arivits mutters as he leans over the sensor scope, "I do to."

"Stake a claim, Ricardo, and then we can get salvage rights when we get

"Can't do that until we examine it. This may be a rescue. Also, we have may have to tow it into the
system if it is derelict."

Cory gets into a vacc suit, straps down his cello on his bed incase gravity is 
lost and heads to the bridge.

Cory slides into the comm station on the bridge and starts up the system 
channel and prepares a patch of sensor data while monitoring local traffic. 
He also forwards what ever fixes Arvits already has to the turrets.

"Doing that." Arvitis says.

System comm traffic is scattered and normal with just a few ship's 
making reports or asking for traffic directions from the starport on the 
mainworld. There is also some in system traffic to and from a couple of 
other planets, and that sounds normal as well.

OOC: Earl, you'll want to turn on the ship's transponder, no one else 
has yet.  After doing that, what, if anything, does Cory send to 
Serbia Traffic Control concerning the 'apparent derelict?'

"Ready for the transponder?" Cory asks, his finger hovered over the button.

Cory doesn't send a thing to Servia Control  till something is known. He does 
start recording bridge conversation, once he gets an OK on the transponder 
just in case something must be proven later.

Upon hearing the GQ alarm, Ilane quickly dons her midnight-blue vacc suit
and quickly walks up to bridge.  The back, sleeves and helmet of the suit
are adorned with a detailed and beautiful painting of a pure white seabird
(similar to a Terran crane).  Her visor still up to save suit air, she asks
Shawn, "What's wrong, love?  What's going on?"

Shawn looked back at her and smiled briefly.

"We popped out of jump with a ship less than 100k from us. Spitball range. Looks like a derelict but
we better be careful. We might want to consider a more proactive readiness state on jump exit, I
think. You up for checking out the derelict? If Ricardo says, we can have Uk watch the bridge and I
go with the group. Ricardo?"

Arvitis mutters while looking at the scope, "Let's see what we have 
before we do anything, okay?"
