Fosey Mora

Arrive Fosey Mora  017-1106 Imperial  January 17, 5629 Earth date

Fosey is a poor, non-agricultural and nonindustrial world. 

• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. 
• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them. 
• It has few prospects for economic development. Life here is drastically bleak. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Mora Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector and in the Domain of Deneb. Fosey , as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight, a member of the Imperial Nobility charged with overseeing the world.

The population is clustered around the rim of the main inland sea in a series of small cities, while the large inland deserts are barely explored. Imperial Naval Intelligencemaintains a regional records office on Fosey.

There’s a lot of people here but the place is a dump. It exists because of its location which makes it an interstellar gas station. The dry desert climate is good for storing stuff. Hence, it is a records depot. You will be dropping off a number of containers. Only a few leaving. Mostly military stuff. 

Another quick turn around. Dropping off around a dozen containers and picking up four. One of them is a cold sleep transport pod, one is a six passenger personnel pod. The other is cargo. Oh, and a mail pod. 

48 hours later, en route to jump point…

There are a variety of pods that the company takes. They do NOT take prison pods. Too much liability. 

Moran Mora

Arrive   Moran (Mora)   007-1106 Imperial      January 7, 5629 Earth date

Moran supports a population of fewer than 10,000. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Mora Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector and in the Domain of Deneb. Moran , as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight, a member of the Imperial Nobility charged with overseeing the world. This world has a nearby Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.

Starport: Class III - Naval base.

This is a quick turn around. Drop off just three containers and pick up two. 

Most of the population works at the starport and shore leave facilities. So there isn’t much here. It is kind of a dump but the locals don’t let things get out of hand lest the facilities be placed off limits by the commander.

Meanwhile, when not on duty, Hamilton is studying or doing simulator time. 

New Year! 1106 or 5629

In transit, there is a brief celebration. Ship's chronometer says, Happy New Year!

The Captain also reminds the crew that he and a couple of others will be rotated out at Rhylanor. It is his home planet. His contract is for nine months of the year. He will rejoin the ship at Regina in a couple of months. Andrew Tuluthka will be taking over as captain then.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]

Mora is known as the “Gateway to the Marches” as it sits at a convenient location on the jump routes through which much the Spinward Marches is reached from Deneb sector and the rest of the Imperium. As a result, it became the seat of both the Duchy government and the Sector administration and accumulated a disproportionate amount of wealth and influence. 

As the capitol of the Spinward Marches, it is a center of government.

"Mr. Leeds, please report to the captain."

Mustafa, Matthew and Branwen Falls are already there. Captain Benke looks at Hamilton as he enters, “ Ah, well, now that you are all here. I have a message for all of you. In as much as we are docking at one of the many stations in this system, The Director of Operations for the Scout Base here would like to recognize you four for the rescue you pulled off in Palique. Mr. Chew and Mr. Falls, you will receive Certificates of Valor. Mr. Mustafa and Mr. Leeds, you are both receiving the Silver Medal for Saving Life. So, there will be a brief awards ceremony where the Director and some navy and scout personnel will be present. Our company has a small office here and the senior representative, along with myself will also be present. You’ll be in the news and so on. Oh, do all of you have a suit handy?”

Everyone is pretty surprised and there are high fives all around. 

You have dress slacks and a shirt. Mustafa is in the same boat. So Captain Benke sends off a message. The company will provide you with appropriate merchant uniforms. They look like navy uniforms but with different insignia. 

your rank badge looks like #13  

Captain Benke looks like #1

Brenwen looks like #5, but his are gold while yours are silver. 

Mustafa’s insignia is #35

So, while the ship is docked and being refueled and whatnot, there is a ceremony with all of you. Admirals and the Director and so forth. But, an unexpected guest has arrived to congratulate you all. The Duchess Delphine Andorania Muudashir, herself. The only persons more important are Duke Norris, and then the Emperor. She was in transit but heard about this and stopped by. You only see her for 10 minutes at most and then she is gone. The news services just go crazy!!

So, you guys hang out at a reception for an hour…

Lots of photographs. The local company representative, does his best to show you all off and expound on the benefits of doing business with the company. 

After an hour more, time to head back to the ship. You do have a schedule to meet. There is also a brief New Years celebration as you will be in jump space on the new year. 

You also receive a 1000 cr bonus. Mostly for being subjected to all that. 

And back to work. “Mr. Leeds, I’m afraid the party is over. Please initiate jump checklist…” 

initiating Jump Checklist

You're all green but there is a warning light. 

warning light on what?

It's not engineering. Something with cargo not secured. 

IC: "Captain, we have a warning light on the cargo. Looks like something isn’t secured sir.”

Jeff Cohen, assistant purser interjects, “We are already on it, Hamster. Loose container on level 4, portside #5. Not sure what the deal is but give us a minute or two…” 

“Roger.”

After a good fifteen minutes. “OK, She’s a go!!” 

You check and all systems are green. 

“Mr Leeds, if you would please. From ten…”

This planet mostly is a transfer point. Tukera owns most of this system. However, other companies use it under license. Additionally, just about every single one of the cargo containers will be off loaded and an equal number on loaded. Which means, Hamilton and the other jump drive engineers will be helping the cargo teams. You’ll be with first shift. Aldo Fazio, Lucious Worosun, & Kutli Plains. The reality is, everyone will be working around the clock. Your team has the starboard, aft section. Aldo and Lucious will be outside. Hamilton and Kutli and a work bot will be inside. Mr. Cohen will be running the show from the upper gantry. 

Using shipboard Crew skill, Hamilton and Kutli will be checking each container when it is unfastened. And then securing the new ones. 

The robot chugs along first, disconnects stuff and checks sensors. Loosens connects, the rest is up to you guys. You are in Vacc suits as the whole area is depressurized. You and Kutli do the final disconnection and guide them out to Aldo and Lucious who take them from there. 

Things move along without incident. Everything goes smoothly. 

After 18 hours of this, you get a chance for real food and two hour nap. And then it starts all over with on loading. Some containers are already loaded. A couple of them are accomodations which will be for extra crew. And you do gain a crewman. But, he's a newbie. FNG. 

Natua Balanta, new cargo handler for second shift. He's new to the company and the ship. But he's been around. Hazmat and advanced Hazmat certificates. Wears a vest with patches from other ships he's been on. 

And back to work. Another 16 hours later, everything is reloaded with no accidents. 

Everyone is tired but you have to get the ship ready for jump. The Chief engineer will help you. Everyone is tired and he is double checking everything for safety reasons. 

And JUMP!!

Pallique is an ice-capped planet with only a trace oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere; its eccentric orbit results in a highly variable climate. 

• The Palique system contains two extremely rich asteroid belts which provided the primary draw for settlement and development. Palique itself is a captured planet; its eccentric orbit is inclined almost perpendicularly to the system's ecliptic plane. Palique suffers a series of planetary impacts twice each local year as the planet passes through one of the planetoid belts. As a result of the navigation hazards the IISS has registered the world as an Amber Zone. 

Hamilton is again on duty when you get out of jump. In as much as you also have Engineer, Power plant, You will stay around to help out Braga Egerts. He is the M Drive and Powerplant Engineer. And he will need all your help as you hear,”All hands, This is Captain Benke. As a precaution keep all EVA equipment at the ready. Our destination is about to enter the local asteroid belt. We want to get this done as fast as possible. Engineering, stand by for a series of heavy breaking and thrusting maneuvers as we try to dodge these.”  

It’s six hours later, in the middle of third shift when you hear, “All hands all hands, we have picked up a distress call from an asteroid mining ship. Off watch crew members stand by for rescue operations.” 

It's not long before they have everyone not on duty assemble in the briefing room. "it looks like a lighter hit an asteroid and sent it into a mining ship. The lighter is ok but we are going after the miner. Any volunteers?" 

Actually, I shouldn’t call it a lighter. That is something different. More of a short range cargo hauler. A frame with engines and cargo underneath. Similar to a cutter. They bring out the new cargo and take away the arriving cargo. Look kind of like this:

Has a pilot seat, and not much else. The ship in distress is a converted scout ship.

"I'll go." 

“Alright Hamster!! “ Eventually you end up with Johnson Mustafa, medic; Matt Chew, electrician; Branwen Falls, pilot. He can pilot a ship’s boat, which is what you will be using. 

The Vanday carries two of these. One for cargo and one for personnel. They are very similar to the cargo haulers that come out to meet the ship and take cargo to and from. 

It doesn't show the airlock on the back end. Though this one is the cargo one. The pilot will be in the cockpit. Everyone else will be in Vaccsuits in the cargo area.

As you approach Mustafa is looking out a view port. He calls out, "Shit!  She's tumbling. Ok, I'm going first and I'll secure a line and bring Hamster across. We'll get inside and it will be up to Hamster to get the ship under control and then the hauler can dock. Any questions?"

The aft hatch on the transport is now fully open. The the mining ship Dapper Duchess is fully visible.  She has had part of her dorsal hull smacked in. She is spinning around, (like the Discovery in 2010). Which brings to mind, Mustafa asks,”You don’t get motion sickness do you? Oh, probably not since you’re an official spacer now. But, This can be a little disorienting. I’ll go across with a line. I’ll pull you to me once we are there. Focus on the part that’s not spinning because you sure don’t want to barf in your helmet. Got it?”

Mustafa says,” Dapper Duchess, this is Vanday rescue party. We are preparing to initiate rescue procedures. Do you have any casualties? If so, what are their injuries.” 

Very muffled, “Yes, The Captain was on the bridge when the lighter hit us. He is unconscious. Ship is depressurized and we are all in vacc suits. His status is unknown. Power plant is off line and we can’t get the hatch to the bridge open. So …   … of…injuries.” 

Mustafa looks at you and mouths, Crap. "OK Dapper Duchess, rescue party is enroute. Stand by to receive boarders.” 

 “Affirmative Vanday. We a.. stand… air lock…awaiting… …over.” 

audio only to Hamilton, “Once we get aboard, I will have to check the exterior of the cockpit. I’ll look in through the window. See if I can see the captain. Depending on how he is and how the bridge is, we’ll formulate a plan. Got it?”

"Got it." 

“OK, here we go!”  Mustafa exits the hauler. He has a small propulsion pack. It takes him about 10 minutes for him to get there. All the while, he is humming to himself. You seem to recall he was in the Scout Service at one point. 

“OK I’m here. Or should it be there? Hamster, I am going to start bringing you over. Copy?”

"Do you copy?"

"Copy, ready when you are. Over"

“Roger.” 

YANK!! oh yes, you feel a good tug. He hooked a carbiner on the D ring on the front of your vac suit and played out the line as he went along. Now, he is pulling you toward him. 

“Hamster, I’m just reeling it in. So any velocity is your own momentum. Put your feet forward so you can land feet first and you don’t slam into the ship and frack yourself up.” 

I  Put my feet forward so I can land feet first and don’t slam into the ship.

Hamilton and Mustafa both crawl along the top of the ship to the view ports. They can see someone floating around in the cockpit. As well as some blood floating around. “It looks like he wasn’t strapped in when the collision occurred. He’s floating around and looks like he has a head trauma. The bridge looks to still be pressurized.”  To Hamilton he says,”Check the top of the hull and tell me what you think.” 

Whatever hit the hull has breached the hull. Hamilton has the tools to patch it. The impact and the decompression jammed one of the hatches; trapping the other crewman. Fortunately, he had a vacc suit on and was able to radio for help. This ship only has two crew. Most often they only have one. 

What Hamilton will need to do is, seal the hull, enter the ship, re-pressurize it, get the power plant going again, fire the maneuver jets to stop the spinning, and then let the hauler dock with the ship. Simple.,,

Once the ship is re-pressurized, Hamilton and Matt Chew can get the power going again. Mustafa will access the bridge and see how the pilot is. Once the power plant is going, Hamilton will have to take control of the ship and bring it under control. Then you can see about freeing the other trapped crewman. 

After about an hour (and several success rolls) Hamilton has sealed the hull and is ready to repressurize the ship. 

Matt has come across and helped you from the inside, where he could, to help you fix the hull. He’s an electrician not an engineer though. He has already started repair on the power plant. Mustafa is checking the bridge hatch. “Just waiting on you Hamster.”

Hull is re-pressurized and holding!! 

Now, Mustafa has gone into the bridge. 

Power plant is up, ship is re-pressurized. Mustafa is in treating the injured pilot. Matt has managed to free the trapped crewman. 

"COOL! OKFire the maneuvering jets to stop the spin then get the hauler to dock with the ship"

(FAIL!!) 

“HAMSTER!! STOP THE SPINNING, NOT MAKE IT FASTER!!

The Vanday has moved off as it still has to meet the cargo haulers. It is keeping in touch when you hear, “Hey you guys, I just heard from the ship. We need to get this shit wrapped up muy fast. An asteroid is heading your way…”

“BARRRRFFFFFFFF!!!!” 

“Um, I think we need to get underway, like 5 minutes ago…”

"Right!!" Hamilton gets the ship under control so the hauler can dock with it. He manages to maneuver it so it is safe. The pilot is alive. Serious concussion. The Doctor is taking care of him. Once the haulers start with the cargo loading and unloading, a customs-rescue cutter shows up to take the patient.  

Customs comes and takes possession of the mining ship. 

Once this is all done, the Vanday is just about ready to leave the system. 

Rescue mission successful!! 

You get a day without duty. A day off. Though, the ship is outbound. So, while you can’t go anywhere, you do get to sleep in. 

YAY!

SLEEP!

after I sleep, I create an exercise program for me to follow daily and start it…

…unless there is one already, company or ship created/sponsored?

and I study
