OK, so we should be well above it... let's get a good ID before we do anything...

In reply to Cyril Zotmund (msg # 190):

Petty Officer Gun taps away, going from one screen to another, and then back again.

"No IFF, no radio, no targeting system I can detect. No armour, either. Looks like a small scout plane of the colonists."

I imagine from another island ... just track it, but presume it friendly for the moment.

In reply to Cyril Zotmund (msg # 192):

"They are passing underneath us now, heading in. They are about 3 miles from the colony island."

In reply to Cyril Zotmund (msg # 194):

After a few minutes, Gun gives an update.

"Sir, have visual analysis confirming it is small scout craft from last century, often carried on generation vessels. Terren design recognised. They seem to veer off to loiter around 1 mile from the colony..."

"Should we go down and talk with them?

Why, we should be able to talk from here... Guns, any markings we can use to hail it?

In reply to Cyril Zotmund (msg # 197):

"Not that I can read from a mile away...perhaps if we get closer..."

Use the fancy sensors Guns... we can scan a world for gnats from 100,000 miles away, surely you can see this craft and count rivets if need be.

In reply to Cyril Zotmund (msg # 199):

He laughs.

"Yeah, probably. Can you get him to stop moving relative to us then while I adjust the high powered Telescope?"

I am not stopping while there are enemy is out there."

Reduce the power to acquire it, then zoom to se it better... Kat, let's stop evading for a few moments.

In reply to Cyril Zotmund (msg # 202):

" There seems to be a designation Bis8 on the roof. Sir, we could always use the same radio channels the colonists were using. It would seem more logical..."

Yup... try those Channel s and use that BIS-8 as a call sign.

In reply to Cyril Zotmund (msg # 204):

Gun turns the radio to the channel initially used by the colony.

"Bis eight, Bis eight this is starship Dastavka above you. Please respond, over"

"If you say so Captain" Kat slows the ship

In reply to Fate (msg # 205):

"This is bee one ess three. Are you human? Over."

In reply to Meir Galinski (msg # 207):

"Affirmative. Trade ship Dastavka from Terra, also known as Earth. This is Petty Officer Gun Da-bin, a Korean born in the USA."

He turns to Cyril.

"Guess I misread that marking. BIS8 and B1S3 look pretty similar..."

"Need help. Eight hundred miles from here at the main settlement. Many wounded. Most dead."
The ultralight abruptly lost altitude as it went into a dive.

Tell him to land on the island... it is safe. We'll get help organized and sent.

In reply to Cyril Zotmund (msg # 210):

"B 1S 3, this is Dastavka, the island is secure and the Labrysians there are not hostile. Please land and report position of base, and we will organise a mission to assist. Over."

There was no response as the light craft fell rapidly towards the ground.

In reply to Meir Galinski (msg # 212):

"Uh, Sir, he seems to be in a rather rapid decent for such a flimsy aircraft. He might be in trouble..."
