Empress Keiko Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 "Oh, well, sorry Hal." Makino was still worried. The probe could not be launched, we'd hit the rings of Ranturda. Levy must really know what he is doing. "Okay, well I'm going to eat." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest �strophysicist Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 "Oh Hal it is about time to launch the probe isn't it?" said Levy. "I will launch it automatically in 4 minutes and 13 seconds." replied Hal "Thank you." said Levy, walking into the galley for lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empress Keiko Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Makino flew to the window. Ranturda was close, too close for comfort. The ship started to shake and the metal began to heat. To avoid getting hurt, Makino flew. "Levy, is this safe? Having hot metal?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest �strophysicist Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 "The probe is launched, brace yourselves for a hard burn." said Hal over the intercom. "Makino, calm down. Hal, what is the distance from the atmosphere?" said Levy. "We are aproxamatly 50,000 miles from the atmosphere of Ranturda" replied Hal. "Good, thanks. Makino, we have to get close to the atmosphere to get the biggest speed boost. A difference of a few thousand miles can mean an extra month before we get to Nekiter." Levy said. The Balboa began to shake from the burn and the ship began to move away from the planet slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empress Keiko Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 "Well if you say..." Makino kept flying just so he wouldn't burn. He could feel the ship moving little by little. Ranturda looked ominous, but it seemed to go further and further every minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest �strophysicist Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Soon Ranturda took up half the sky, and the Balboa was quickly accelerating. "Brace yourselves, I am now preparing the systems for the final burn." said Hal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Luna Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Zolar was getting used to space-life. It had freaked her ot at first, but now she was relaxed. Sudden movements now scared her. She looked out of the window, seeing the probe. "Isn't it beautiful?" asked Mihangal. "I never thought I'd live to actually see it all out there." "The probe?" asked Zolar confused. Mihangal shook his head. "Space. My mother wanted me to be an astronaut but I became a teacher instead." Mihangal explained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest �strophysicist Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Levy was busy at the bridge typing reports as the information from the probe began to reach the Balboa and remained in the computer's memory untill Levy was ready to send it to Neopia. Then Takinito came in. "It is amazing isn't it?" said Takinito's left head. "What?" replied Levy. "The planet, space, where we are now." "Oh yeah, it is ok." "Just ok?" "Could you leave me alone Takinito? I have more important things to worry about. Go discuss the view with someone else." replied Levy, obviously becoming impatient. "Probe entering atmosphere." said Hal "Thank you Hal, please continue to record data and store it." replied Levy "Certainly." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
