MAIL: You have no mail. Main Hall <In-Yavin, Vulcan> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The stone walls of the large hallway reach up at least 40 feet. The gray floor remains cold somehow even though the predominant temperature in here is very warm. The center of the floor is adorned with the family sigil that is carved straight into the stone. From the floor rise several large stone pillars. They seem rather plain and utilitarian at first, but if given a closer look one might see designs and writings that reach all the way to the ceiling. Most of the room displays the values of an ancient society, large arches that stretch across the top of the building each contain two religious symbols on either side of the family sigil. Along the sides of the stone walls appears the periodic computer panel that adds functionality to this awesome hall. To the left and right of the entrance are two smaller archways. In the back of the hall is a grand stairway leading to a corridor on the second level of the grand house. In the back of the hall just under the staircase is a corridor leading to a few other rooms on the first level. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alert Condition: Green You can spot Rooms here.

He consults it after taking the scan silently. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster says, "Jayzuz...that was close...." <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- David holds on for dear life. "would it help if i got out and pushed?" He gets thrown a few feet when raster turns the ship slacking into the deck. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- >>> Reactor crystals at critical stress <<< <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster sweats as a HUGE tendril BARELY misses the station. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- >>> Reactor crystals at critical stress <<< <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- The turbulent expanse of the wavefront looms before on the viewscreen. A kalideoscope of dark colors, broken by brief white flashes, as spacial and temporal wormholes open and close among each other every instant. A nearby uninhabited star system is vanishing as the wavefront engulfs it, the planets disappearing one by one and then the star winks out of view. The horizon, merciless and mindless in its approach. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- >>> Reactor crystals at critical stress <<< <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Luke says, "Crystals at critical" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- >>> Reactor crystals at critical stress <<< <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- David gets up and moves back to science he starts to scan the wave. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- >>> Reactor crystals at critical stress <<< <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster roars, "ALL STOP!" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- >>> Reactor crystals at critical stress <<< <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- >>> Reactor crystals at critical stress <<< <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Luke says, "Should I cool the reactor down?" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Suron looks at Raster, leaning against the bannister for support in the turn. "This man has three broken ribs, but is still capable of performing his duties with treatment. Do you have medical corpsman, sir?" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- >>> Reactor crystals at critical stress <<< <snwspan> QI'tolha has joined this channel. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- >>> Reactor crystals at critical stress <<< <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster quickly rigs the A-Drive to backpedal from the Wave at the same pace as the Wave itself. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- >>> Reactor crystals at critical stress <<< <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- >>> Reactor crystals at critical stress <<< <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- David says, "Man, that is a LOT of wormholes i am picking up." <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Luke says, "Reactor at 115 stress!" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- >>> Reactor crystals at critical stress <<< <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- There is a crackle of static and then a shrill piercing whistle as Raster activates the PA system. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- >>> Reactor crystals at critical stress <<< <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Suron looks at Luke, "Are you in pain, Lieutenant?" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- >>> Reactor crystals at critical stress <<< <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- *<Station Alamo PA System>* From the Control Room, Raster says, "All hands!

Reman it. <<Yellow Alert 22:35>> Apocalypse in five minutes. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Suron looks at Luke. He reaches out, holding him in place with his fingers against his face. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- #-1 FUNCTION (SQUIS H) NOT FOUND <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Luke says, "This ship will suffer reactor breach in 10 minutes, no-" and is cut off by the mindmeld <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster hangsbehind, doing a last-second adjustment to the NDM output, rigging it for a timed implosion in exactly 9 minutes. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- There is a crackle of static and then a shrill piercing whistle as Raster activates the PA system. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Suron breaks the contact, saying, "There will be no more pain, Lieutenant." <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster says, "All evac vessels, except the Scott, LAUNCH!" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- *<Station Alamo PA System>* From the Control Room, Raster says, "All evac vessels, except the Scott, LAUNCH!" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- There is a crackle of static as Raster deactivates the intercom. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Luke says, "All nonessential personell clear the bridge." <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Suron looks at Raster, "The airlock the to the Scott is open, correct, Captain?" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- *<Station Alamo PA System>* From the Cargo/Shuttle Bay, David says, "raster your shisp arel ocked!" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Suron looks at Raster, "That anwsers my question, Captain." <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- *<Station Alamo PA System>* From the Docking Bay, David says, "nimitz open up!" <<RED ALERT 22:39>> Apocalypse in one minute. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Luke says, "Captain Patrick, Lieutenant Suron, clear the bridge! Get the hell out of here!" <<RED ALERT 22:40>> Apocalypse NOW!! <<Deja Vu 22:40>> ... and we saved the universe once again. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Sean says, "Sir? I can throw the switch...." <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Suron looks at Luke, "Lieutenant, clear to where?" He hears the report, and then says simply, "Captain Patrick, this way." <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- As Raster turns away from the Console above The Chair, part of it sparks massively, and goes black. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster whirls. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster says, "What??" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster says, "Oh, my god." <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster frantically tries to reactivate the section, but to no avail. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Luke runs over to the console, and gives it a good hard look. "This was the NDM control console, wasn't it." <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- USS Nimitz has left the docking bay. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster says, "Part of it...." <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Luke inhales. "What part? <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster says, "The part that will time the implosion." <Federation> Andor-BC says, "SS Barqs has entered orbit of Andor." <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Suron waits for Sean to move a moment more. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster says, "Someone has to stay. Get out of here, all of you." <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Sean steps up. "I will stay." <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Luke says, "Captains, with all due respect, get the hell out of here now. You're important, I'm not." <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster says, "No, damnit! You're young!" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- ChR S'harien has left the docking bay. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Sean steps over to the console. "And unimportant. Please....go. NOW." <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Luke says, "Don't make me kick your asses down to the evac ships. MOVE IT!" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster starts toward Sean. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Luke says, "GO GODDAMNIT!" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Sean steps over and picks up a disruptor. He sets it, then aims at Raster. "Get out now. All of you. MOVE IT!" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Suron looks at the viewscreen, then says simply, "It is suggestable that the decision as to who will remain be made speedily." <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster says, "Damnit....son...don't piss your life away!" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Luke sits down at the console, and starts to make adjustments to it, ignoring what people around him are saying <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Sean says, "I'm a mere merchant captain. I have nothing to piss away. GO! At least I can save the rest of you!" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Luke says, "I'm blowing this thing in 5 minutes, whether or not you're here or not." <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster edges toward Luke, then grabs him by the collar, hauling him out of his seat. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Suron sees the motion, then draws his own pistol, the hum of the weapon spinning up to a setting is heard. "Lower your weapon, Captain Patrick." <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster shoves Luke toward Suron, then shoves both into the opening tubolift doors... <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster says, "Go!" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster looks back over his shoulder as the doors close, "The red button!" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Sean shifts closer to the console. "Consider it done. Now RUN!" <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Luke goes through the hatch to the corridor. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster goes through the hatch to the corridor. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Raster has left the Communications Console. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- The Captain's Chair becomes inoperational as Raster leaves. Reman it. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Suron steps out of the way of the Raster train, covering their retreat. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Suron goes through the hatch to the corridor. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Sean sets the disruptor aside as he positions himself at the console....but still where he can see the door. His hand hovers near the red button. "Goddess...this is for you. And the Alliance. Please...please let this work...." He waits....ticking off the time... <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- USS Montgomery Scott has left the docking bay. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- The Scott launches, and immediately flees the station. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Sean glances up to the viewscreen to watch the approaching wave. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- The crawling surface of the wavefront grows closer and closer to the station... <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Sean sighs, his hand still hovering...waiting for the appropriate time.... He acknowledges the fleeing ships. "May the Goddess speed your flight." <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- The timer, absurdly for the situation, dings on the console as the wavefront nearly engulfs the station. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- Sean slams his hand down on the red button as the timer goes off. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- The view on the viewscreen trembles as the wave plunges around you. The station bulkheads around you groan in tension and compression as the superstructure flexes! The stabilizing influence of the NDM field holds fast against the onslaught of variable space/time, as an enormous wormhole attempts to swallow the station and sling it afar. The buffeted station maintains its position, however, as the power core continues to reinforce the NDM bubble around itself. The effect is not like being in the eye of a cyclone - it is like being on the stormy edge of the eye, where the winds are the worst. <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- The NDM bubble around the station begins to chaotically expands outward, shoving against the wavefront of wormholes to widen a gap between them. As it stretches outwards the field visibly seems to weaken along its edges, being deformed by the opening and closing of wormhole mouths. The field radius grows, surpassing 1 AU within a few seconds as it struggles further. The rate of wormhole reformation around the field is beginning to slow, but not cease. The NDM field alone may not be enough . . . <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- The green Rihannsu warbird looms before the approaching wavefront. Suddenly all of its running lights wink out, allowing the hull to be illuminated only by the sporadic light eminating from the expanding and collapsing wormholes. Another few seconds pass as the drifting ship savors the tranquility . . . BEFORE IT ERUPTS INTO A BRILLIANT WHITE SUN!!! The released singularity from the warbird reacts with the subatomic bonds of the warbird, releasing a blast of pure energy just as the edge of the wavefront runs across the new fire in the heavens. Wormholes attempt to swallow the singularity, and catastrophicly collapse! The wormhole dissipating impulse of the expanding wave from the singularity continues to grow . . . and makes contact with the station NDM field . . . <snwspan> <IC> -LIVE- The singularity blast begins to interact with the NDM field. One collapsing wormholes, the other pushing them apart. The effect of the two combined is _just_ enough to finally bring the rate of wormhole reformation into the negative. More wormholes begin collapsing on the edge of the NDM field, which expands further . . . until finally the station's antimatter reactor chamber fails. Amidst the evaporating wavefront another brilliant sun flares into existance! The NDM field lingers a few more seconds until it begins to fade out of reality. Meanwhile the singularity blast begins to fade. No matter, though, for the two attempts together have managed to start a widening hole in the wavefront. The wavefront begins to scatter, temporal wormholes no longer forming and the short-lived spacial wormholes begin to separate and roam wildly. It looks like a process that will take hours to cease. Although the wave is no longer cohesive, the scattering wormholes may still wreck havoc on the local space. All that can be done, has been done. All that is left is merely to wait and see what will happen. ADMIN: Rohn is now on duty. Official Broadcast: Raerdor shouts, "Some broadcasts from certain worlds are starting to cease.
