Episode 0311 - The Exercise: Captain, Depot, Skipper, Engineer, Fire, Jarry, Kara, Kirin, Medics, Sheriff, ~ 10 ``Kirin: The sortie today is to simulate adverse test conditions outside of our atmosphere, and to drop the systems down one at a time, so we know what to expect or be able to detect when something wants to give up. We will run on reserve power for as long as possible, giving you all hands on! {1} We will start off with autopilot failure, when the steering will become very heavy. {2} Oxygen level and ventilation failure, and maximum length of time we can last on internal supplies. {3} Water purification plant failure. Any questions? ``Captain: Let’s get underway. [50 Km up in Outer Orbit in Saucer ~ 3] ``Jarry: It is harder than the old saucer. ``Captain: That 1 metre diameter makes a lot of difference. Air brakes on. ``Kirin: We are diving back towards Cassiopeia. Restart! ``Captain: Climb back to 50 Km. ``Kirin: Cut all oxygen supplies. --- The book says we should be able to last for 30 units. [Noises, bang] ``Jarry: I am hearing that banging noise again, Captain! --|-- ``Kirin: It is the same noise as before! Full checks please Jarry. ``Captain: This is frightening, I have not heard it this bad. ``Kirin: Sending emergency signal. ``Jarry: Where the hell is it coming from? All gauges are reading correctly as to the text book Captain. ``Captain: Agreed, and I think you are right Kirin! ``Kirin: Zaffre, Sir, but where are they hiding? ``Jarry: A hunch Captain, is that they are in the compressor unit. It is a side effect of legionnaires disease. ``Captain: Accepted Jarry, but what can we do? ``Kirin: Jarry is still doing the cross-checks, but it has to be derived from air pressure! Of course! The space mites cannot withstand the Earths heavier atmosphere, so they are complaining. ``Captain: Accepted. We better stay on internal oxygen. ``Kirin: Captain, that may flush them out. ``Jarry: I have transmitted all data to the Space Cavern. ``Captain: Bring her down to 5 Km, and I want full ground emergency procedures in place. ``Kirin: I have already actioned it, Sir. {Space Dock ~ 6} - [Alarm Sounds] ``Skipper: Cut external power. Full emergency procedure! ``Fire: Ready, Skipper! ``Skipper: Cut external fuel links. ``Depot: Links severed and terminated Skipper. ``Medics: Sir, on site and ready any known problems? ``Skipper: Maybe oxygen starvation! ``Medics: Zarfs. ``Skipper: Sheriff; stop the traffic coming in, and keep Beings inside. ``Sheriff: Zaa, Sir. ``Kara: Not again! Staff, full emergency procedures are now in place. [Lights dim and partial lighting applied] Passengers, there is no need for alarm as everything is working normally here, but there may be a hitch with the Saucer landing, so please stay calm. Only light snacks available, but plenty of hot drinks available. ``Bugby: Engineer to Dock: ``Skipper: Engineer pass your message! ``Bugby: Engineer, permission to land? ``Skipper: Negative. Hover at 10 Km and communicate with S182. ``Bugby: Engineer, confirmed.--- Engineer to S182 over! ``Jarry: S182 to Engineer receiving you loud and clear, over. ``Engineer: Do you need assistance over or escape hatch facilities? ``Jarry: Qaa. We have a serious oxygen problem, and need quarantine procedures in place. ``Bugby: Engineer, blast! I have the Decontamination Unit onboard! It only came in last night. I know, we can run it on external generator power. ``Jarry: We need fresh oxygen supply urgently. ``Bugby: Engineer, we have some onboard. I will talk to Dock. --- Engineer to Dock, permission to land and take off again? ``Skipper: Confirmed, use SP1, over. ``Bugby: Confirmed SP1. I will be dropping off two mechanics as well, over! ``Skipper: Confirmed. Maintenance will be waiting to assist over. [Bugby lands, drops goods and Bears off - takes-off again to 10Km holding point] < Previous Page 310 Draco <08.2.3> Cooler [00 = 273 <322> 03 = 083] Next Page 312> |
