CMDR Johnshot side of the story
CMDR Rik079 side of the story
10 APR 3306
Incoming transmission to the Fuel Rats on the non-rescue channel.
CMDR Johnshot reports being stranded 47k ly from the bubble.
Fuel Rats dispatcher works with Johnshot to asses the situation which is as follows: stuck in system without sufficient materials to perform a FSD Injection to jump to nearest system (68 LY), clients jumprange is 58 LY. No asteroids, rings or planets with required materials in system.
At this point there is nothing the Fuel Rats can do for the client but it is mentioned that the Brewer Corporation will later this year make Fleet Carriers available for purschase and such capital ship does have the capability to both reach the client and get them out.
Communications are cut short and the fate of CMDR Johnshot is unclear.
9 JUN 3306
CMDR Fenrishi makes the final payment to the Brewer Corporation and the construction of their Victory-Class Carrier is complete.
The crew boards the carrier, tests of functions are being done and adjustments are being made. The carrier gets its name: Eternity's Gaze
10 JUN 3306
Fleet Carrier Eternity's Gaze makes a jump to RBS 1843 where tritium is purchased in great quantity to be stored aboard the carrier.
CMDR Fenrishi with the assistance of CMDR Hrolfsson ferries the precious cargo from the station Nyberg Dock to the carrier.
Later that evening local time when loading of the cargo is almost complete, another transmission comes in to the Fuel Rats non-rescue channel, it is CMDR Johnshot and they are still alive!
Probably in rough shape after having to ration their supplies for so long but alive none the less.
A plan is formed, get a fleet carrier to CMDR Johnshot and get them to safety.
Fuel Rat dispatcher Suxariki assigns the fleet carrier Eternity's Gaze and its CMDR Fenrishi to the case.
The carrier jumps to Senlu to strip it of some of unnesscary parts to make more room for fuel in the cargo hold that will be needed on this long treck across the galaxy.
The call goes out to other rats to assist in the rescue.
CMDR airwaver94 answers the call and helps squeeze in the last possible amount of fuel.
CMDR Rik079, CMDR CyanRepublic, and CMDR What Is Love board the carrier to help it along its journey.
Later that night the carrier stops at Bleae Thaa KY-D b53-10 to let its crew rest and make repairs.
11 JUN 3306
The carrier continues its journey.
A meeting is called with the CMDRs onboard and deck officer Lori Holland, the original flight plan to go straight towards the clients system is after second assesment deemed a too risky plan with the current fuel capacity.
An alternative plan of going through a Colonia system on the way to restock on fuel and make any final preparations needed is suggested and approved, and the carrier starts making its way to its new destionation on the way.
Almost a third on its way to Colonia, a odd power surge makes the lights on the carrier flicker but after a quick systems check everything looks nominal.
But when the carrier is just about to make its jump, red lights go off and a blaring horn sounds, "Departure aborted. Unknown failure!" can be seen on multiple holo screens on the bridge deck.
Engine crews as well as technical crews starts troubleshooting the issue, it is unknown at this point if it is a mechanical issue with the FSD or maybe a issue with the navigation computer and its software.
After several hours trying to identify the problem a fix was eventually done, technicians from Brewer Corporation uploaded a new software update to the navigation computer and the issue was resolved.
Arriving in the Colonia area to do a stop to refuel the carrier was greeted by CMDR Sintoreni ready to help refuel the carrier along the other CMDRs aboard.
A area wide transmission also went out to ask for assistance with the refueling.
12 JUN 3306
The crew of the carrier that awoke to amazing news from the skeleton crew that worked the night shift, CMDRs had been working tirelessly through the night and the carriers hold was once again full and soon ready to resume its journey.
CMDR Fenrishi entered the bridge still very groggy from the long day of navigation across the stars yesterday and just a few hours of sleep to combat that and was greeted with a sight that they did not expect, CMDR Sintoreni still on the bridge, who not only worked hard to fill the carrier over night but would now join the carrier in its journey to rescue the client.
When departing Eorgh Prou UU-F d11-606, CMDR What Is Love went out with their ship to scan the system and missed the jump. Carrier is turning around to pick them up as they have no fuel scoop or enough jumprange to catch up with the carrier.
After backtracking, navigation had to be done manually for a couple of jumps to adjust the course.
Also the landing pad retraction for several CMDRs aboard malfunctioned and they were outside when a jump was being made, they are now in the medibay being checked out for any permantent damaged caused by exposure to hyperspace radiation.
Crew is taking a look at the landing pads and yet another inquiry has been made to the Brewer Corporation to what could have caused the malfunction.
To conserve resources the client has powered down most systems and only sending minimal transmission updates on their status, today they fired everything up to do a systems check and reposition in away from the planet they were holding at.
Following up on the earlier incident with the malfunction of the landing pad retraction system, maintenance crews found that several of the bolts for them being loose and such causing a mechanical failure, it was also discovered that the fittings for several bulkheads was not done according to spec and it is now being jerry rigged to hopefully not cause any more problems during the journey.
After several jumps, the comms officer reported an anomaly on the galaxy map, the personal transponder for CMDR Rik079 reported them as being in Kyloagh AE-D c27-22 several jumps back.
Systems were checked and crew started searching the carrier to see if this was true or if CMDR Rik079 was still aboard the carrier or not, this might take several hours though considering the size of the carrier.
