Episode 0890 - The Oldie Satellite: Gaffer, Master, Okapi, Pilot, Selina, Tetra, Vanna, ~ 07 ``Gaffer: You have done well. ``Vanna: I have brought my Mum and Dad with me. ``Gaffer: Welcome. ``Selina: It is nice to meet again. ``Okapi: Zenden. ``Vanna: You were naturally correct, and it was Cirrus 2, which had been modified and capable of Mach 18. It also had two ray guns fitted. ``Okapi: I made them wait until they had fired up their armoury. ``Master: Okapi is right, although I just wanted to take them out. ``Gaffer: That would have been against the rules of the Cosmos and would have gone against you. ``Master: Oh! ``Gaffer: We have laid in all the new cables, and have a test card running. Here are all the frequencies and the new ones, which Tetra had asked for. I can show Tetra on the Vectorscope, where we are in relation to Cassiopeia. The zone map now reflects straight, downwards and south, south east from here. Therefore I have activated transponders to increase south zone coverage so you will be able to pick up all transmissions. ``Tetra: Wonderful. ``Gaffer: Now to find the oldie satellite! Here are all the updated co-ordinates, and your security codes which will allow you through the 'restricted zone'. Therefore go out via Moon 8. Come back and see me tomorrow. Zimo. --- ``Master: It is too much to go and find the others, so let us go now and find this oldie satellite. ``Tetra: I agree. ``Vanna: I agree, especially as we are on Moon 6. {Cosmo. In flight to oldie Satellite ~ 6} ``Tetra: Course laid in, but velocity restrictions are in place. Thrusters only until we get pass Moon 8. ``Master: Confirmed. Vanna, as advised that we drift out. ``Selina: I have never heard of Moon 8! ``Vanna: Nor had I, and I am still consolidating on it and where it is. ``Tetra: Look at the data screen. ``Vanna: So the other one must be Moon 9? ``Tetra: There are other moons even further out. ``Master: He did say we can land on Moon 8. ``Vanna. Zaa, but not this time. ``Okapi: This is a wonderful sight to see, and we are very privileged. ``Tetra: We can now go to Mach 1. ETA 13 units. ``Vanna: As instructed. ``Tetra: I have it on SCANDA and forward camera is on satellite. ``Vanna: Crumbs, it has a bigger wing span. ``Master: full stop, backward thrusters on. ``Tetra: I am scanning it in, although we have the schematic drawings. ``Okapi: It is much bigger than Algol old Sat 1. ``Vanna: That should make it easier for us, as we were all tight for space. ``Selina: I thought they were struggling. ``Tetra: They were frightened of touching anything in case it punctured their space suits. ``Vanna: We can have a briefing back at the Hotel. ``Tetra: Zaa. ``Vanna: Call up Control and ask them if they have Air Dock access on Moon 3. ``Tetra: Nice one. --- Control, says zaa. ``Vanna: Request docking on Moon 3 instead of Moon 5. ``Tetra: Zaa. --- Confirmed. I will request an update. --- Okay. Portal 3010. ``Vanna: Now plot us a new course to take us around the moons and bring us back to Moon 3. ``Tetra: A moment. --- New course laid in. ``Vanna: Inform control of our new flight plan. ``Tetra: Confirmed and accepted. ``Master: Okay and what velocity? ``Tetra: Mach 1 only, and let us take our time to enjoy these fantastic views. ``Selina: Wonderful. {Moon 3. Planet Q ~ 6} - [Portal 3010] ``Tetra: Full stop. ``Master: Thrusters only Vanna. ``Vanna: Zaa Master. ``Master: Locking orbit, and powering down. We have the amber light on the door. So we can go. {Hotel Rendezvous. Planet Q ~ 4} ``Vanna: We have located the oldie satellite, and have seen it up close. Tomorrow we will start the space walks, but we must be alert. This satellite is bigger so it could become more, clumsy. ``Pilot: Is it drifting or spinning out of control? ``Vanna: Qaa. It is just drifting in the same direction, which seems strange. ``Tetra: We have to be careful not to alter that course, otherwise it could start spinning. < Previous Page 889 Deneb < 07.5.4> Warm [24 = 810 <872> 00 = 143] Next Page 891> |
