This week with Arlene and Jeff:
..."Are you certain that blip is the Marauder?" one of the crew asked.
As they all started to laugh, the pilot replied, "Actually, I am not." That brought the laughter to a halt as he went on. "Our instruments show only a giant warp field wake. I sincerely hope the monster that is causing that much wake is ours. If this Earth has anything that big…" He left the sentence hanging as he continued, "Assuming that we will be able to phase with the ship's warp field, we should be able to see something as we get closer - hopefully," he added almost to himself. "But we will have to be extremely close in order to phase match with her warp fields."
As they eased nearer and nearer, "This might be a bit bumpy," he casually commented. "Personal restraint fields to maximum," he ordered, then hit his override to make certain they had all complied...
Have a goodun;
