Vulcan heart part two

From the obital space station,tisora and jason joined others and took a transport to the planet.
“I heard this planet is a center of trade and comerce for this sector!”jason said. “Vulcans andorions and noberiens frequent this planet!”tisora said.”so i might see aliens i have never seen before ?”jason asked.”there is a very good chance of it !”tisora said. “I feel like we have bearly scarced the serface. Before a hundred years ago we really had no idea what was out there or if anything was!”jason said.
“You have several new world to discover!”tisora said. “I am excited. Can you tell?”he asked rhetoricaly. “Yes i can!”she said.
“I’m sory. I try to contain my excuberence around you. It us hard to do that. “Jason said.
“I understand! I am not trying to change you. My people believe in tolerence of other people’s beliefs and pratices. We call it. Infinate diversity in infinate combinations. I live by that viewpoint!”she said.
“You don’t want to become a stoic?”she asked. “I personaly believe logic is the best philosophy. I would perfer every one would embrace the teaching of surek. I don’t believe that will happen realistically. I am libertarian in this matter!”tisora said.
“Fair enough!”jason responded. “Do you wish i showed emotion?”she asked. “At first but i gues i have come to respect different cultures. I think i have become less ethnocentric sense we left earth space !”he answered. “I have observed that!”she said.
The shartle discended to the planet. It landed at a ground based port. The shartle went to a designated birth. The shartle activated its landing struts. The ship fully completed the landing proticals. The pasingers waited for clearence to disembark the craft.
“Attention pasingers! This is the co pilot speaking. You are cleared to exit pod 2147. Thank you for using trax transportation services. Have a day full of stars to guide your night. “The spokesperson said.
The pasingers got up from there seats. They headed for the exits in a very orderly fashion. Tisora and jason folowed the orthers and departed the craft.
The port was similar to an earth space port. There was information areas as well as food courts and a prominade. “So where to?”she asked. “I don’t know about you but i want to explore beyond the space port! “Jason said. “Agreed! “Tisora answered.
They excited the transport hub. They walked around the area. They picked up a packet from the planitary transportation ministry. They looked it over.
“Apearently there is an outside bizare not far from hear!”tisora said. “Lets check it out! “Jason said. “Agreed!”tisora said. Tisora led the way and jason folowed.
The planet had a plesent climate. Every major citty had an urban center and a rural. The urban was mostly government buildings. The rural had outside shops. The planitary inhabitents perfered to be outside when possible. Manny off world representives perfered business be done inside. Given the climate it was no reason why natives perfered the outside.
“This is a beutiful planet!”Jason said. “I could see why manny would find it astectically pleasing. It is an efecient world!”tisora said jason laughed. “At times i forget your non emotional but i usually remember !”Jason said.
“Do you resent that i am unlike you?”tisora asked. “No i don’t. I am still working on sheding my ethnocentrism. I respect your views. I see the advantage of non emotion. I am just not ready to adopt it for myself !”he told her.
“That’s fair !”tisora said. They went to the table. She saw a series of trinkets. “Look i have many wondrous objects. This is all that remains of the sword of kahless!”the merchent said.
“It seams far fetched that this is indeed from kahless weapon!”tisora declared. “Are you acusing me of lyng?”the merchent asked.
“We should move on!” She said. She kept on going. “I have never heard of kahless. Who is he?” Jason asked.
“He is a qausi myithical leader of the Klingons. He overthrew a tyrent and created the first Klingon empire. “The vulcan female said.
“Who are the Klingons?”he asked.”they are wariors. Similar to the vikings or spartons on earth!” She said.
“We probably should avoid them as we continue to spread out into deep space!” He said.”that would be very wise. “She said.
The two walked further though the various tables. Jason saw a flower he liked. He considered getting it as a gift for tisora.
He had lost sight of his friend for a few secconds. He heard a noise. He stoped for a few seconds. He tried to asertain what it was.
He listened. He came to suspect that it was some kind of weapons fire. He ran to see what had occured.
He was schocked at what he saw. He saw a male. He was a dibiasien. He was dead. He had been schot by an unknown alien hans pistol. Standing over him was a women. She had the energy pistol aimed at him. It was tisora.
“Tisora put down the weapon!”he urged her. She did not say anything. She paused. He went over and took the pistol. Then a local police force arived. He put the hand weapon down on the ground.
The police seronded the area. They sicured the area. Jason had no idea what had gone on. It apeared at least on the serface that tisora had just killed a man for no apearent reason. The police believed that too. He knew that she was in a lot of trouble.
End of part two.

“Beyond vega”

” During the 21st century mankind experienced an unperaleled time of turmoil. This all colminated in the third world war and a new dark age”
“In the midst of a post atomic horror,mankind atempted to put all that aside and venture towards the stars”
” 100 years later,earth now ready to leave its infantcy now leaves its home space. They now seak to go beyond the known into the unknown. ”
Vega colony
Ships were coming in and out from the space ports. A transport arived at the port and the pasingers began to disembark. One of the pasingers was wearing an earth military uniform. She gave the officer a file with orders.
“Oh! There has been a change of plans. “The officer said. “Change of plans?”the young officer said. “Yes ! I was told to give you this!”the officer said.
She took it and went over to a bench. She pulled out the disk and looked it over.
To lt. Lindsey markum from united earth space probe agentcy command.
Your asignment to vega outpost is cancelled. You are to report to x 1000.
She was not happy with this. She decided to do something about it. She went to an officers lounge and found a terminal. She sat down. She activated a com unit.
“Eller industeries!”a lady said. “I need to speak to mr. Eller!”she said. “I’m sory mr. Eller is buisy!”the clerk said. “It is urgent i speak to him “she said. “Hold on!” The receptionest said.
A few minutes later,the image of lyman eller apeared on the screen. ” Lindsey! Was it really necessary to interupt me!”he said.
“You know i wanted to be asigned to vaga so i could oversee the finishing touches of the x fleet! “She said.
“I understand your wishes but the admiralty wanted you out there not on a base.  You have some of the most extensive experience in space !”he said.
“I want to be out there but in the x 1000? I want to command one of the new ships. I have put in just as much flight time as captain styles and commander shumar and i have more combat time then both of them! I want to command one of the new ships !”she said.
“Look you do have a lot of experience . There is a feeling that you are stil young. You will make a fine commander one day but this may not be the right time! “Eller said.
“The x 1000 has a full command staf.  I don’t really have a place abored. “She said.
“Look i understand but you do have more experience then many in the sr staf of the x. They want you there. They don’t want you behind a desk. “Eller said.
“Am i in the running to command a x class?”she asked. “To be completly honest not in the forseable future! X 1002 is basically promised to shumar and there are plenty in the running. Your down the list Lindsey ! ” he said.
“What if i resign?” She said. “Lindsey you are a rising star in the fleet. Your young. Give it time.  You will command a starship. “He said.
“I can’t change your mind on this?”she asked. “It was not my decision.  I believe there mind is made up.  Look go to the x shine and they won’t be able to ignore you!  “He said.
“OK i will do it ! “She said. “Good i hoped you would. “The man said. “Good day sir!”she said. “To you as well!” Eller said.  She deactivated the terminal.
She left the area defeated. She was disillusioned. She wanted to run away. She considered joining the freighter service or a private compony.  She decided to stic with this for now.
Maybe eller was right. Maybe she did have a bright future. Perhaps this was a slight road block. One that could be corected. One that one day would be forgotten. Today it was fresh in her mind.
She got temporary qurters on the obital base. She got some sleep. She felt prety jet laged from the trip from jupiter to vega. She fell asleep.
She woke up. She got dressed and headed to the viewing area. The x was expected to arive. She heard the public adress declaring that the x was heading in to the outpost. She watched the x come in. Her ship came in but not the way she wanted it to. This could be her beginning.
If she had her way,it would be. This was her chance. This was her opportunity to shine. She could rise to the ocasion and she would.
The x came to the dock. The vessel engaged the docking area.the morning were activated. Soon it would be time for her to bored it.
End of part one

The storm part five

“As the storm continues,nurves have become fraid. Uncertainty grows. So far the ship has wrethered the storm very well but every one is wating for the orther shoe to drop. Everyone is certain it will!”
“Want i would not give for a cup of coffe right now!”styles said. “We could heat it up with a hand lazer!” Trajaten said. “That might not be a good idea!” Shumar said.
“Sir! The storm has increased in magnitude but decreased. I believe it will countinue to increase for a few more houers! I am not sure that thr shields can protect us foever. ” Tivora said.
“Do you have any idea how long this storm will last?” Bryce asked. “Acording to my calculations at least eight more houers commander!” She said.
“We may have to devert more power! ” tivora said. ” We cut all power there is cut!” Trajaten said.”no we have not!” She said. “We need ship wide intercraft and ship to ship !”trajaten said. “No one seams to be out! “Tivora said. “Who would venture out ib a storm in a ruber digny!” Kelly w said.
” Are you sure the shields won’t hold?” Styles said. “I am certain of it!” Tivora said. “Vulcan your never wrong ! This is why my species always treaded lighly with your people . For a non emotional people you people are prety arogent!”trajaten said.
“Woa! Time out! This is not helpful! ” Styles said. “We could transfer power from my ship!”steveren said. “We considered it but it could short circut the ship. Our computors probably are not conpatible! It would be like trying to interface an eller 235 to a comadore 64. “Perizou said.
“The comunicators are indipendent of the com system . There don’t seam to be any ships in the vicinity. If we need to we can comunicate by flare. It is non esential power right now! “Styles said.
“I guess i am out of a job for the time being! ” trajaten said. “Find us some other extra power! We have a long road ahead!” Styles said.
Tivora was working on power transfer when jasson came over.”you ok?”jason asked. “I am trying to protect the ship! I understand that these may seam like draconian cuts but i see no orther choice !”she said.
“Every one is nervous and on edge. As the otther storm passes,so will this one!” He said.
“I have never been to Vulcan . Earth is my home. I want to aer humanity suceed and join the universial community. I am not trying to step on anyone’s toes. “She said.
“Your an aset to this ship. When we come though on the other side,it will be because of you! Just sit tight. You will make it!”he said.
Med bay
“Dr!”ensign gina elso said. Two crewman brought in a crewman. He had some kind of radiation burns. She began treating him.
Bridge
“Crewman ridgly was working on a conduet near the engine room. “Dr. Kelly renelds said.
“We have confirmed we have a smal leak!” Perizau said. ” Have you sealed it?” Shumar said. “For now but i fear while the shields have held,some how tge infrastructure of the ship has been compromised! We may see more of these!” Perizau said.
” i am not totally sure it is related to the storm. It could be a design flaw!” Kelly w said. “I considered that as well! ” perizau said. ” I want those areas that area screaned for radiation posioning! “Styles said.
Qurters of the captain
“You think mayby we are not ready. It is too soon?” Styles asked. “Frankly this is how you learn. School of hard knocks. The early exploers in the 15 and 1600s paved the way for meritime traval and opened up a new world.  When john f kenedy said we are going to put a man on the moon in ten years,it seamed like a pipe dream.  Someone has to take the first step. To every great story there has to be a beginning !” Shumar said.
“I really would rather not be the guy who failed. I don’t want to be a footnote in history !”styles said. “We will make it. This storm is not going to lick us!” Shumar said. “I hope your right bryce. I really do! ” he said.
Bridge
  The ship was rocked. “That was an unusually stronger ion! The storm is continuing to intensify. It has gone beyond my prediction !” Tivora said. “You are falible!”trajaten said. “Qiet!” Styles ordered.
The ship was hit. An airlock was hit. “Seal off the deck! ” styles ordered. “I can’t. It is not responding!” Tivora said. ” We will have to do it manualy!” Perizau said. ” Come on! Tivora take charge on the bridge !” Styles ordered.
Styles,shumar,trajaten,perizau and boyd left the bridge. The elivator were shut down so they had to use stairs. They made it to the area. They put on environmentle suits.
There was a gaping hole in the ship.  Air was pooring out. They all knew this was dangerous work even with the e.v.s suits. If they were sucked out into space they were vanerable to the storm. If they were struck it ment certain death.
  It had to be done. The team perpared to go out. The door had to be sealed. Manual release required at least four people opearating the manual release at once. This was risky.
What felt like wind blew though the deck. The e.v.a suit was working. They got to work.
Dr. Kelly had to treat more radiation sickness. There must be more cracks. The situation seamed to be getting worse. She hoped this could be turned around.
   The ship was hit again. This time on the other side. This time it was the hydroponics. Where the emergincy food suply was. They now had several problems on multiple fronts. The strugle was on.
