The Aftermath (4)

... appeared in the middle of it. The station lurched forward not unlike being pulled by an invisible rope, Jim watched as their speed picked up, the station shaking, buffeted by the massive energy the disturbance and the tunnel was producing then just as suddenly it was still. Around them a tunnel of lights appeared swirling and spinning moving away from the station, Jim watched carefully, their speed was already twice what his hyper engines could do and still they were accelerating finally they were at 4 times the speed of the engines. Their speed leveled out Jim sat and began to work on all the readings that he was getting, Mary sat next to him looking over the same computations that Jim was. "Jim, I am detecting that we could increase speed more if we fired the engines for half an hour, I am also detecting that we would have to brake sooner, uh you are going to brake aren't you?" Mary asked, wondering what Jim had up his sleeve. "No, if we brake before we are near the planet it will tear us a part here," Jim showed her the figures though he'd thought of the increase of speed her way was a lot safer and they'd gain half a day. The only thing he was worried about was the actual braking if this didn't work as it had in all the tests they were going to stopping a long time. "Mary, check these figures and run them by Dickie I want to make sure AGAIN that we can actually stop, all the tests showed nothing but positive but with you here checking I'd feel better," Jim said again ...

... making her feel even better with him trusting her this much. An hour later Mary was upset, "Damn it Jim! Were you asleep when you did this? I've seen your worst and they pale in comparison to this!," Mary shouted. Looking at what she'd found he saw his critical mistake, damn it! Unless they solved this there would be NO stopping. "Alright Dickie refigure line 5347, set measurements for 1000 miles and not feet." "Compliance," Dickie replied. For an hour Dickie was silent Jim was afraid that he fucked them all by the simple mistake he'd made. "Analysis complete, energy comparison increase 10%, braking should occur within one day instead of two days of the planet to disrupt the tunnel field, increase should not hamper operational systems or weapons. Braking closer to the planet shouldn't affect it in any adverse way." Jim breathed a sigh of relief. "If you do this again," Mary was growling at Jim, "without at least having my help I will kick your ass all over this station you understand me? There is no where you can hide from me." Jim held up his hands in surrender, he knew Mary was releasing pent up steam, he knew she was glad he checked the systems as many times as he did, something that he'd learned from her that had saved their lives on more than one occasion. A day and a half later they exited the tunnel only a day from the Creca planet. Jim pulled up all the sensors he could see the defense shield was still in place all 6 of the guns were in place. Beyond the planet about a ...
