D'ganzio

In transit, Hamilton ponders what has happened. "I go back over everything I know.
I still don’t have any idea Who killed who and why and what it all has to do with the people in cryosleep!
they want to discredit the Imperium? And the Imperium’s forces? To start another war? Can I access ship personel files from my station? Would it be a bad idea to do so? Probably. In as much as I'd need the Pursers's log in and password." 

He is so busy ponder he doesn't notice the timer alert. 

PING!! 

“Bridge to engineering. YO! Hamster! you get a jump exit proximity alert?”

“yeah. Said exiting jump in 1.5 hours but that was…”

“…that was 30 minutes ago. Didn't you?” Ooops

“I just noticed it. Was wondering why you didn’t call me.” 

“All hands, exit from jump in one hour thirty minutes.”

The Ship's AI can handle many of these tasks. And indeed it does. But, the interactive voice system is REAAAAALLLY annoying. So that system is not turned on. 

Oh Great. OK. So…I’ll be here ….in engineering….doing engineering…stuff…”

“Um, yeah, roger that.”

In spite of all that, actual jump exit is over two hours later. It's an approximate time. Usually within 30 minutes but on occasion, delays of hours or even a day are fairly common. 

Arrived in D’ganzio system  201-1105 Imperial  July 21, 5628 Earth year.

“Mr. Leeds to the bridge at your convenience please. Mr Leeds to the bridge at your convenience.” 

RING RING. You hear Leso's voice say, “Hamster. Get your ass to the bridge asap. Unless you’re doing something work related.”

He gets to the bridge and notices the window. He can  see a number of ships in the distance. Several navy ships including a battleship. Remember there is a navy base in this system. 

Anyway, the captain says,”You’ll be happy to know our guests have departed. We still have the animals in stasis and will keep security measures in place. You’ll be briefed on all this later.

About then Officer Gordon Strong comes onto the bridge. He asks to speak to the captain and motions for you to come along as well. 

Hamilton steps off to the side with him, the captain, and the first mate. Gordon says,” Well, I have good news and not so good news. I’ve received a report from the police on Roup-Regina. There is a missing longshoreman name Reeves Upton. He was part of the team that serviced the ship there. However, his DNA doesn’t match the dead body found in your fuel tank. But there is a possibility it is related.”

“Related? how?”

“That’s what we are looking into. It could be a big coincidence. But I have my suspicions. “

Meanwhile, cargo is off loaded and on loaded. Turn around is 72 hours more or less. The ship heads off towards the jump point and jumps. 

About an hour after jump, “All hands all hands, in accordance with imperial regulations, this is a drill, I repeat, this is a drill.  All passengers and crew, this is a decompression emergency! Don vac suits and rescue bubbles, I repeat, this is a decompression emergency, don vac suits and rescue bubbles!” 

Hamiliton, has a bubble on at all times.A crew bubble is slightly different than a passengers. Its a big giant baggie with arms and legs instead of a round bubble. If a vacc suit isn't handy, then you are supposed to get into a rescue glove. 

Hamilton manages to get his rescue pack on with no trouble and within the 30 second time. 

WHOOT!

"I'll go help anyone that needs it" 

"Nope. Stay where you are. In your cabin."  The intercom buzzes. When the rescue pack is sealed it transmits a code, in a real emergency, its so you can be found and rescued. In this instance, it verifies that  Hamilton got his on in the allotted time. Anyway, the intercom buzzes, “Mr Leeds, you may stand down and remove  your pack. Good job! Can you go check on engineering?”

“yes sir.”

When he gets there, Anna Dalaks is on duty. She’s had a suit malfunction. She pissed…

He goes to help her and try to stay calm and cool and collected

Gasket on her suit broke. It’s going to need repair. So, she is officially “dead” this drill.

“Sorry. You dead."

"ok, so?what else can I do now?

She’ll have to repeat the test later. She says, “Well shit. Tell the bridge I’m “dead” and press the drill reset. It’s coded to your thumbprint so there is no cheating on a drill. The system already knows you passed and that now you are a monitor." 

“ok”

Buzz the bridge and tell them Anna Dalaks is ‘dead’ and reseting the drill.

He discovers everyone is kind of annoyed about her suit malfunction and that she “died” in the drill. On the plus side, Hamilton was able to get there and take control of engineering. Mostly, she failed to qualify and has to drill, and re-drill, again and again. And someone has to monitor it. And it affects the company’s insurance. 

In any case, Hamilton has just come off watch and is getting either food or sleep when he hears, “All hands, all hands, exit from jump in approximately two hours. Cargo teams on standby. “

ok

get some grub then sleep 

Arrive D'ganzio 205 Imperial July 24 5628 Earth Date. 

Turn around is quick. Only in system for 3 days.
