Episode 0508 - The Expansion: Captain, Gera, Kirin, Scotty, Skipper, Vanna, Zola, ~ 07 ``Kirin: Captain, I have received an application for an extension to Space Dock flight rules, under section 24b, to extend the South Side of Space Dock Zone, by 1 Km to come under our control Zone. ``Captain: Oh heck, I wonder who could have thought that one up, with the correct specification, but no doubt we know the answer to that one! ``Kirin: I thought you would be amused, especially as you asked Tetra and company. ``Captain: Arrange a meeting with Yafo, and confirm temporary extension to Space dock, and notify NOTAMS. ``Kirin: This has been copied to the Sheriff, for traffic control concerns. ``Captain: Fine, get Scotty in here PDQ. ``Kirin: Zaa, Captain. ``Captain: Well I am paying them to do a job. {Dam restaurant + Gera & Vanna ~ 2} ``Gera: What am I in for this time? ``Vanna: The paper work has been submitted as an application, for further expansion of Space Dock. ``Gera: Oh heck! Where is the money coming from? ``Vanna: We have saved you ¢500,000 so that should pay for it. ``Gera: Pay? Are you twisting the facts again? That will have to go for a full hearing. ``Vanna: Naturally and you should find a copy on your desk. ``Gera: We are allocating money which has not yet come in. ``Vanna: Neither would you be going to Algol next week, if this had not happened. ``Gera: Udal is going to have a headache, and I will have to go and see him. ``Vanna: Have you not already noticed an increase in air traffic? And you did support intergalactic Space Dock standards, which does not come cheap. ``Gera: I need some more croak beans, and I will have to go back to work. ``Vanna: Me too, quin. Also, there is a chartered flight coming in from Atlantic City, with 11 Officers. ``Gera: That I do like. ``Vanna: I keep warning you, but it still goes in one ear and out the other ear. ``Gera: I think I will have to resign. ``Vanna: Good idea. ``Gera: Cheeky. {Space Dock Tower ~ 2} ``Scotty: You summoned me, Captain? ``Captain: Sit down and take it easy. ``Scotty: Zarfs. ``Captain: We need video extensions to the new Chopper Dock and across the plateau to include Vulcan Dock. ``Scotty: That is a big job. ``Captain: Finance is already in place for Hopper Dock, and we will need an extension from there back to us; and with a direct data connection. This can go over on top of the new foot bridge under construction. ``Scotty: Blimey. That will ease some of the problems, but it is getting the cable laid through the rock. How about a satellite link in the mean time? ``Captain: I doubt we will need it, but go and see Yafo, and make sure you are at all futures meetings. ``Scotty: Zaa, Captain. We might be able to go around the edge of the plateau, although it will be a much longer run. ``Captain: That sounds a good idea to me, and I want the link working, so if you do run into trouble you will have to put in a satellite link. ``Scotty: It will cost peanuts, so you could keep it there as a backup. ``Captain: Tetra is in charge, and here is an updated tablet, so basically what she says, goes. ``Scotty: Zaa, Captain. {Zola’s Place + Vanna ~ 2} ``Vanna: How have you been, as I have not seen you for 3 qefs? ``Zola: I think it was seeing my Mum after so many years not knowing that she was still alive. ``Vanna: I thought I had, upset you! ``Zola: Qaa, qaa, it all happened so suddenly, we were only going to find this void, then ended up going through it and landing on Algol was brilliant. Whereas to be able to find my Mum, who I did not really know, as I too was brought up with foster parents, was too over-whelming and I needed some space and time on my own. ``Vanna: I am happy for you. ``Zola: So what has been happening? ``Vanna: Loads and I will chat more over lunch, but your sister is now Stewardess. ``Zola: That is good. Oh heck! I have just had a thought! Ming is only my half sister. That is why we do not get on together, as she has a chip on her shoulder. ``Vanna: And your Mum only referred to you in her will. ``Zola: Perhaps now she will back off, and grow up. < NOTAMS = Notice to Airmen and women> < Previous Page 507 Vega <13.1.1> Hotter [37 = 450 <494> 00 = 105] Next Page 509> |
