Colonial Dysfunction [1.25 Days Until Arrival | Malfunctions]
SWAT One:
"I don't know. That's why I want to take a look. I want to check the engine as well."
Agent Legit 22:
Jack nods, and looks down at his datapad. He looks at the speed limitation thoughtfully. It could be that I'm overlooking it... But... Jack searches in his datapad for a camera of outer space, trying to see if they're in some sort of atmosphere or something that could justify the speed limitation.
SWAT One:
Bill starts the tram using his controller. With a jolt, it starts and heads toward the other station.
Jack's datapad shows his assigned craft, a VA-15 "Hammer". Speed limitations are just short of Mach 2, but his jet is an air-breathing ground assault jet.
Fortunately, there is a set of cameras that the science team installed for everyone's viewing pleasure. He links in. Cameras 1 & 2 display the front if the ship, 3 shows the ventral side, 4 shows the dorsal side. 5 & 6 show the left lateral, 7 & 8 show the right lateral. 9 shows the rear. The previews load up.
1 & 2 display the forward-facing thrusters doing their job to show the trip. 3-7 show the ship is still moving through space at some fraction of a speed of light, but the light of a the star Vos is supposed to orbit is on cameras 1 & 2. Cameras 8 & 9 are displaying static.
Agent Legit 22:
Jack tilts his head in confusion at cameras eight and nine being in static. "Hey Bill, look at this.", Jack displays the datapad to him and switches to cameras eight and nine. "Do you have any explaination?"
SWAT One:
"Hang on. Trying to not crash into a wall," Bill says sarcastically, stopping the tram with a mild jolt at the other station."
"Okay lemme see..." He takes the data pad from Jack. "Hm. We'll take a look later. One thing at a time."
