Patrol Vessel Balck Walrus
Sector Neptun Orbit
To the Neptunian Orbital guard:
As requested
You will find the record of our conversation with the
transtellar Bulk Carrier "Adavega Success" during is approach
to the orbital station and before is sinking through the atmosphere
of the Blue Giant.
44:56:00:34 ETC 456 FGH 8
BW: Transtellar vessel, ping AE456V, this is the Patrolship Black Walrus
Do you copy?
........15sec
BW: Transtellar vessel, ping AE456V, this is the Patrolship Black Walrus
for an emergency call, you are actually in a collision trajectory with
Neptun's atmosphere, do you copy?
....12 secs
AS: Good morning Black Walrus Vessel, This is the transtellar Bulk Carrier
Adavega Success. Thanks for your consideration, We will check our
trajectory when we will be close to the station, no worry for the moment.
BW: Adavega Success, It is good to hear you, I please you to consider again our
warning. The gravity of Neptun is strong and you are currently close
to drift in the direction of the atmosphere. My Navigator can help you if
you need it in sending you a correctiv procedure for the avoidance
manoeuvre.
......32 sec
AS: Thank you again Black Walrus, but my Navigator is quite experimented and
we have enough power to resist to the giant's atmosphere. You very kind
but I assure you that there is nothing to worry about. Over.
......2min
BW: To the Captain of the Adavega Success, this is the Captain of the
Black Walrus, we are right behind you, and we can see your stern drifting
dangerously into the direction of Neptune. I have no doubt about your
navigator skills and confident in the power of your engines but your ship
is not made to cross so close to a giant's atmosphere without
the assistance of a tugship. I apologise for my insistence but I recommend
you again to execute a move quickly.
AS: (bad connexion)......Black Walr... This is the Adavega Success' navigator
can you send me the corrective trajectory I will m....(background noise)...
I will make the manoeuv.....(background noise, screams)
Captain they are righ....We need to...
...............
BW: Adavega Success we have difficulties to hear you, do you copy?
..............
BW: Adavega Success, this is the Black Walrus, do you copy? We are sending you
the new trajectory, and I have to inform you that the neptunian orbital
guards are trying to call you without success. They ask you to put
your ship in the emergency condition and change immediately
your trajectory. They send rescue vessels in case you will experiment
damages during the manoeuvre.
.......
AS: This is the Adavega Success, we are fine, my navigator is a little tired
but I know my job, i know my ship, and we will stand in this trajectory.
All our engines are running and we will perform this transit very wel....
(background noise, agitation, people screaming)That is all Black Walrus
Good day. Over.........
.........
BW: Adavega Success, I am not joking, you are entering in the atmosphere now,
we can easily see smoke around your exhausts. Go to the Lifecaps
immediately, leave the ship, I repeat leave the ship,leave her.
BW: Adavega Success, do you copy?
............
BW: Neptunian orbital station, this is the Black Walrus, our transmission with
the Adavega Success is lost. the ship is clearly sinking now and we can see
the hull cover by flames. we are amorcing our descent through
the atmosphere in search of lifecaps.
NOG: Black Walrus, understood, our second rescue ship is already catching
a emergency signal from a lifecapsule Keep your course and wait for
further orders.
BW: Black Walrus, understood.
Transmission end.
Note from our look-out:
" I lost the Adavega at 44:72:00:18, after she was to deep in the atmosphere
to be visible. I notice the light signal of one of the two life capsules 2 min
after the sinking, and imformed my captain immediately." Ben Bishop. Look-out.
This is all we have from the records concerning the Adavega Success.
I have checked with the crew members who where there two years ago when
she sinked but they are certain that it was our only call with her.
I hope it will help you for the trial of the Adavega Success' captain.
salutations.
