“Alpha Reactor is online sir, Beta reactor is at 74% Initialization”

Said a young engineer sitting at an aft holopanel on the rather spacious well lit carpeted bridge, beeps and blips reverberated as a few seconds of quiet followed his report. The captain sat in the middle of the bridge on his hovering command chair, he swivelled around looking at the young officer, his blue eyes peering at the console next to him. He responded in a soft commanding voice.

“All-right, engine room.. Take us out half speed”

“Yes sir”

Said the female avatar that shimmered to life in front of the captain. The bridge started hum and crackle with energetic sound from the engines, the ship was smooth as docking tendrils disengaged from the docking ports. The bluish yellow glow from the four engines priced the mundane darkness of space, the ships hull shimmered as the local stars soft yellow light emphasized its smooth features. Turning to the upper left the ship rushed out with a sudden burst of speed towards the void. On the bridge the captain smiled, he folded his hands on his lap, he looked up to his engineer and nodded, to both him and the avatar walking in front of him. He said as he adjusted him self.




“Slow us down and prepare for a temporal warp jump, take us to these coordinates .”

He smiled his eyes locking on to the holo-monitor in front of him, dead space started to twist and contort as the ship rushed forward at amazing speeds , stars began rushing past the ship at high speed, crackling tendrils formed a tornado like cylinder around the ship, its body was lit up by random sparks of power from the lines of energy. A few moments passed, the ship dropped out of temporal warp , stars returned to normal, the ship came to a crawl, It was on the border of foreign space now. The captain stood up and adjusted himself he looked up to the avatar and said.

“Good, now start chronometirc scans of every thing, we’re going to have to test out more systems than just our drives today. I’ll be in my ready room”

He walked off past several holographic consoles, officers and crew all worked around the bridge looking sliding their hands over three dimensional renditions of computer controls the soft white light beat down on the captain broad shoulders. He exited the bridge in a flash of bright light almost as he had been teleported. He smiled as he went in to his rather spacious ready room, the lights where dimmer there, he stepped over to his desk sitting down on his leather like chair crossing one leg over the other and leaning back with a stretch. He spoke softly to the computer saying.



“This is Captain James A hartigan, reporting in, the first flight of the chronomancer went smoothly, I am about to look at the message I was sent prior to departure, I was told not to look at it until we were near our mission area. Well here we are and here I go.”

Looking at a holographic projection of text he started to speak to the computer again.

“Captains log February 19th 2811, The chronomancer and its crew have been assigned a stealth mission across unknown borders. Our mission is to observe what appears to tactical and cultural assets of a nation that the Terran Federation Had minimal diplomatic contact with”

Returning to the bridge the captain started to bark out orders to the avatar and officers, he sat down on the leather like captains chair.

“Engage Temporal Phase cloak, and set impeller drives to silent running... set course to these, coordinates and engage Temporal warp ”


As soon as he barked those orders the ship crackled and shimmered out of existence like it was never there. A crackling warp flash could be seen several moments later as it just jumped in warp.

What ever was going to happen next, was determined on the ships in that area of space and the crew it self. In engineering things where normal yet rushed, avatars and engineers rushed around the temporal induction core over force walks, to various holo stations checking on different systems. The chief engineer sat back on her chair in her officer peering at the master control panel. It had the power status of the CPTS, Engines, Temporal Induction control and various other key systems all in one control panel. Force fields surrounded the control panel , as well as various important corridors leading to highly secure junctions and other things.

The chronomancer is one of two ships, it is one of the most advanced federation designs of the century, extensive dimensional and temporal technology as well as quantum manipulation. Its power transfer grid used chroniton plasma streams to transfer energy from the temporal induction core. It was thus immune to electro magnetic pulses . The ship it self is also highly resistant to manipulation via computer system since it uses quantum temporal entanglement and data transfer units.
